Story
I bought Kain from my army friends in Texas 4 years ago, I’ve had him since. He would do best in a home with a male with an active lifestyle and he would do best as an only dog. He does not get along with bigger dogs but gets along with small dogs. He craves attention and stimulation 24/7.

Story
I’ve had kryptonite for 4 years, I got him from a shelter in Texas. He would do best in a home no other dogs and a relaxed lifestyle. He can be fearful of everything causing him to bark or grumble. He does not get along with unfamiliar dogs as he is fearful, he is okay with humans once he gets up close to you. He creates his own safe spaces. He needs someone patient and willing to let him adjust.

Story
(DOB 11/18/2022) Looking for the ultimate couch companion? Roscoe is your guy. With his great name and even greater heart, this gentle soul is happiest curled up indoors, lounging on the couch, or helping keep you warm at bedtime. He’s a certified sofa sloth and an excellent bed warmer, so be sure to save a little room for him, too! He’ll happily snuggle in and stay close to his people. This easygoing boy is happy with leisurely walks and is doing well with his leash manners. He doesn’t need a fenced yard and would be perfectly content in an apartment or condo (Note: he does have a fenced yard and doggie siblings at his foster home, and he enjoys that lifestyle, too). Roscoe would enjoy having a friendly canine companion, but he’d be just as happy as an only pup as long as he gets plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs. He’s social with other dogs, quiet, obedient, smart, and very food-motivated making continued confidence-building a positive and rewarding experience. Roscoe is writing a beautiful new chapter, and he’s learning every day that the world, and its people, can be a great place. With patience and love, he’s discovering that new people—and yes, even men—can be gentle, safe, and wonderful friends. He is good with kiddos and has not had an opportunity to meet any cats, yet. He may be a little shy at first, but once he feels secure, his sweet, sensitive nature truly shines. His foster family has shown him that love is real, and he’s responding with trust, loyalty, and lots of affection. If you are planning on taking Roscoe with you when you jump in the car, he is a little nervous when first getting into the car, but he relaxes as the ride goes on. Because he can be quick when startled, it’s important to keep doors, gates, and his martingale collar secure. Roscoe is already house trained and working on his crate training...remember he loves to be on the sofa with his people :). Let's not forget to mention how hunk-a-lish this guy is!! He has a big head with an even bigger heart! He has the cutest pink "lips" that are absolutely smoochable. He has these golden-brown eyes that just sparkle in the sun. If you’re ready to open your heart and your couch to a truly sweet and special dog, Roscoe is ready to meet you. As part of Roscoe’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet boy, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Roscoe, you can complete an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2605835##

She is a bundle of joy who thrives on playtime, especially fetch, tug-of-war, and a good bone to chew. She’s always excited to meet new people and has an energetic personality that fills every room with life and laughter. Cookie would do well as an only dog or in a home with a larger, playful male dog. She has previously lived with cats and done well. She’d love to have a fenced in yard to romp around in!
