Story
Meet Paige   Paige is the kind of girl who doesn’t want the whole world — she just wants her people. This sweet soul is looking for a home where she can be the one and only pup, soaking up all the love and attention she so happily gives right back. Paige absolutely adores her humans. She’s a world-class cuddler, a loyal shadow, and the kind of devoted companion who will follow you from room to room just to be near you. Movie nights? She’s your snuggle buddy. Morning coffee on the porch? She’s right there, leaning into you with that contented sigh. What makes Paige happiest is having her own fenced-in yard where she can run, play, and stretch her legs freely with her family — without the stress of interacting with other dogs. She thrives in a calm environment where she doesn’t have to share her people and can simply relax and be herself. If you’re looking for a deeply devoted, affectionate best friend who will make your house feel even more like home, Paige is ready to give you her whole heart. If interested, contact Courtney at courtney@pawsatplay.com. Paige is spayed, vaccinated on rabies, DHPP and Bordetella, and current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. She is heartworm negative.  ##2667166##

Story
(DOB 1/31/25) Bridget is wonderfully social in her foster home. She lives peacefully with cats, other dogs, chickens, and children, and she approaches everyone with a calm, respectful demeanor. Watching her discover her new world is full of nice people and fun furry friends is truly heartwarming. She will help you think about all of the simple pleasures, too! Her gentle, shy nature makes her the ultimate cuddle companion. Bridget adores quiet moments curled up on the couch or resting in her cozy bed near her people. When she feels safe, her friendly personality shines through, and her soft eyes say everything; she’s grateful, loving, and completely devoted to her humans. There is something incredibly special about earning the trust of a dog like Bridget. She has shown once she gives you her heart, it’s yours forever. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys gentle strolls. Occasionally, if something surprises her, she may look to return to a familiar, cozy spot; a reminder that she feels safest near the ones she loves. With continued reassurance and encouragement, her confidence will only continue to bloom. Another sweet 4-legged sibling in her forever home dwould be a wonderful companion for sweet Bridget. Bridget finds joy in life’s simple pleasures...a warm bed, a full bowl, kind hands, and a peaceful home. She doesn’t ask for much, just a forever family who will offer patience, love, and a steady routine where she can continue to thrive. Once a little underweight and unsure of the world, Bridget has blossomed beautifully in her foster home. It has been so awesome seeing Bridget grow into a happy, well-loved girl who is learning every day that life is full of kindness, comfort, and care. Adopting Bridget means welcoming a tender-hearted, loyal companion into your life. In the right home, her sweet spirit will flourish, and she will reward her family with quiet devotion, gentle snuggles, and a lifetime of love. As part of Bridget’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Bridget, you can complete an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2622132##

Story
(DOB 05/16/2025) Ruby also lovingly known as Rhubarb or Ruby Scooby Doobie Doo is guaranteed to put a big smile on your face the moment you meet her. This sweet girl has a warm, loving personality that melts hearts instantly and makes everyone feel like they’ve just met a lifelong friend. In her foster home, Ruby has plenty of doggie friends and absolutely loves playtime. She would thrive in a home with at least one playful canine companion and a fenced yard where she can safely romp and burn off her energy. She hasn’t had the chance to meet cats yet, but she has proven to be very friendly and social with both people and other dogs. If you’re searching for a true cuddle bug, Ruby is your girl. She adores snuggling up on the couch or curling up on her dog bed close to her people at night. She’s already house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows her basic commands, making her an easy and enjoyable companion to have around the home. Ruby is also a fantastic adventure buddy. She enjoys car rides and strolls through the park, happily taking in the sights and smells of the world around her. She may give a quick “hello” bark when she first spots someone new, but she warms up almost instantly and is soon ready to make friends with everyone she meets whether they’re kids, adults, or fellow pups. Smart, food-motivated, and eager to please, Ruby is easy to train and always excited when it’s time for her “groceries.” With her affectionate nature, playful spirit, and sweet, talkative charm, Ruby is ready to bring laughter, cuddles, and lots of love to the lucky family who welcomes her home. As part of Rhubarb’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
