Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All dogs on the Best Friend Pet Adoption website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered or meet any of our dogs. The link to our application is https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC. FOSTER COMMENTS: Meet Apricot – The Sweetest Little Shadow You’ll Ever Have! Looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep you smiling and your heart full? Apricot, a smart, affectionate, and curious 8 month old pup who’s just waiting for his forever family. He didn't have the easiest start to life, but he is learning all about people and other dogs and making big strides! Apricot is crate trained, housebroken, and walks nicely on a leash—a total gentleman in the home and out on adventures. He has a moderate energy level: happy to join you for walks and playtime but also excellent at settling down for snuggles and naps. In fact, Apricot is a certified cuddle bug—he loves following his humans around and being part of whatever you’re doing. He enjoys meeting new people, can be a little cautious at first, but once he warms up, his loving and goofy personality shines. Apricot is cautious with new dog friends, so he’d do best with calm, patient canine companions—or he’d be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as your one and only. He’s best suited for homes with older kids, and while he doesn’t need a fenced yard, he’ll thrive with daily walks and quality time with his people. Whether you live in an apartment or a house, work from home or go into the office, Apricot will adjust beautifully. He’s smart, eager to please, and still learning about the world—a wonderful mix of playful curiosity and easy companionship. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate pup who will bring warmth and joy to your days, Apricot is ready to be your best friend. Adopt Apricot—your sweet, snuggly shadow is waiting! To help him become the best dog possible, his adopter will be given additional training sessions with our preferred training facility for 4 months (or 12 sessions) of free 1:1 training. This is a great benefit for both Apricot and his new home. Apricot is part of a puppy litter that someone was giving away for free. Best Friend Pet Adoption admitted them to our rescue to make sure they have proper medical care and find loving homes. Could one of those homes be with you? Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants ideally should live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a Best Friend Pet Adoption veterinarian in the Cary area for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We therefore prefer applicants live within an hours drive of Cary NC.
