Story
(05/21/2022) She is happy-go-lucky girl. Not short, but fun-sized...a solid low-rider who always has love in her heart and a smile on her face. And isn't that face, the most loveable, kissable, smoochable??? She is seeking a stable relationship in a household that will provide her endless biscuits, bones and crinkle toys. She is a wild and crazy girl who is energetic at playtime. Her ultimate human would look forward to her daily wet willies and be available to stroke her soft pink belly until she falls into a deep, snoring sleep on their lap.  Her unique markings give her what almost looks like a crooked little heart shaped nose! She is white, grey and pink! Her fur is mostly all white (although she has some scattered spots and freckles) except for a dark grey left ear and two adorable matching grey stripes on her tail. Her short hair means you can see the pink skin underneath, especially on her cute belly! She also has the most fabulous white eyelashes! She walks well on a leash for the most part, but her low center of gravity means she can have a strong pull if she spots a squirrel or lizard. Their quick movement triggers her instinct to chase. She is not aggressive and does not mean any harm, but she doesn't know her own strength, so no weaklings on the other end of the leash. Potential adopters should not have young children as she may knock them over with her joyful excitment, but older children would be great. Her current foster family provides her a mom and dad, plus 5 fur siblings ranging in sizes from chihuahua to small pony, and she gets along with all of them. (She is also ok with cats but will chase them.) Her favorite playmate is another PFL foster named Jess. Sweet Penelope doesn't require another dog in the home, but it would be bonus. A 4ft-5ft fence would be another great find at her new home so she'd have the ability to run and play to burn off any excess energy. A home, apartment, condo or townhome would all be good for sweet, adorable Penelope as long as she has someone who is definitely willing and able to keep her busy with playtime, walks and fun activities. Other noteworthy and great things about Penelope, she is house trained, crate trained, enjoys car rides but may try and share the front seat with you if she isn't securely fastened in her seat. Wherever you take her, she is bound to be the hit of party! She just has the face and the smile that radiates joy and people are naturally attracked to her. She loves everyone she meets and is happy to get a little bit more love and affection! Ms. Penelope is adaptable... she will sleep on top of you, next to you or all alone on a cushion, even the bare floor or in a crate. She is well-mannered, but does need some work on commands. Her adopter(s) will be very lucky to have her as loyal and entertaining member of their family. Just looking at her sweet face makes you smile! Come meet her at an adoption event. Ms. Penelope the Perfect Little Pittie is aboout 50lbs and ready to love you! Don't miss the opportunity to be her fur-ever family! As part of Penelope’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 little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Penelope, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2065455##

Story
(DOB 10/25/2023) Happy - YES! Loveable - YES. Cute - YES! Molly would thrive in a home with another playful dog, a full toy box, and a fenced in yard to run in. She loves playing with her toys and any dogs or people that she can win over. She is young and has a lot of fun-loving, party all time, kind of energy, so she is definitely looking for a person/family that has a spunk and lively lifestyle. Even though Molly would love a furry friend in her home and fenced yard, neither of those things are required. She loves everyone she meets so as long as she has plenty of play time, walks/jogs, attends doggie daycare, etc., she will be a happy girl!! Molly is being fostered in a home with kids. While she currently lives with kids, she'd do best if the kids in her home were ~ 8 years old or older due to her enthusiastic personality, and she may accidently knock a little one over. Molly has not had an opportunity to meet kitties. She goes out to play and potty in the fenced yard multiple times per day and sleeps nicely in her kennel at night. You know what else Molly loves?? She is a super fan of the car, and like everything else, she makes an ordinary event anything but dull!! Young Molly is also well behaved on a leash and would love a family that will continue to take her for daily outings! She loves being out and about and meeting new people or other dogs; she just loves everyone. So if you are social butterfly, yourself, then Molly would be a perfect sidekick! She is all about saying "HELLO" to everyone on the street! Due to her young age, Molly is still a little mouthy and nippy; which is common at her age. With a good amount of daily exercise, a variety of toys and chewy toys, and proper redirection, she can move past this phase of puppyhood successfully. We think Molly would happy in just about any kind of house. She finds the positive around every corner, so a big house, small house, apartment, condo, townhome...yes, yes, yes. She just wants to call it HOME. Molly will be the sunshine in your day and will greet you each and every time you come home with big smiles, wiggle butt, and lots of love to share! Don't pass this sweet, sweet girl by! As part of Molly’s $300 adoption fee, she is 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 little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Molly, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2100273##

Story
(11/30/2023) Miss Mable is young, cute and ready to find her fur-ever family. If sleek, black, shiny coat and sweet, sensative, soulful eyes is what you are looking for, then meet Ms. Mable!  Do you have a dog that would like a nice furry friend to join the family? Mable would love having at least one other friendly pup in her new family and a nice fenced in yard. At her foster home, she has several doggie siblings that she has as her buddies as well as a fenced yard which she can be found playing and relaxing in. If you are lucky, you will catch her laying down after some romping around with "frog legs" in that cute splott position. Are you looking for a snuggle partner at bedtime? Well, Ms. Mable would be happy to to take on that very important job! When her foster mom turns out the lights and heads to bed, Mable is right there with her. She'll keep you company, warm, and you may get the benefit of sweet little snores. Mable is still adjusting to her new, happy life and is a little shy with strangers but is super, duper sweet. She will need a person that is patient and kind. She is already crate trained and goes in willing when she knows her foster mom is leaving. Ms. Mable is also fine having her meals in her crate but it isn't required. She has also all but mastered the trick to going out to potty, if she goes to the back door and notifies her foster mom, she will be let out to potty...smart girl. We haven't had an opportunity for Mable to be introduced to kids or kitties.  Mable is just learning about leashes and going for walks as well as basic commands. She is treat and food motivated and is eager to please, so continued positive training with her new family is what Mable wants. There's lots for this beautiful girl to learn and if you want to be the one sharing lots of new experiences with her and be the center of her world, you won't be disappointed in the love you will receive! As part of Mable’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 little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Mable, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2118333##
