Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.PLEASE NOTE:  Jett requires an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can meet him. Our application can be found at  https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC. We will be looking for YOUR application!      Meet Jett – Your Loyal Little Sidekick!  Watch the video to see him enjoying the beach/water.   Jett is a sweet, soulful pup with an old soul and a heart full of love. At just a few months old, he’s already crate trained, housebroken, and incredibly in tune with his people. He lets you know when he needs to go out and is making steady progress with leash training. This boy is the perfect blend of playful energy and calm cuddler. He has a friendly, slightly cautious approach to new people but warms up quickly—and once he does, he's all tail wags and snuggles. Jett absolutely adores other dogs and would so best in a home with a canine companion. He's also been respectful around cats and enjoys meeting kids during outings like hikes or trips to dog-friendly restaurants. Jett is vocal when he’s excited to play or needs a potty break, but otherwise he's a quiet roommate. A fenced yard would be a bonus since he loves to run fast, but it’s not a must.  He will make a good running companion when he is old enough to safely run with his human. He hasn’t been left alone for long stretches yet, so he will do best with someone who’s home often or has another dog to keep him company. Jett shines with structure, companionship, and love.  He can be fearful of new places and is working with a trainer to be a more confident dog   Whether it’s hiking, beach days, car rides, or curling up on the couch, Jett is happiest when he's by your side. He lives to make you smile, and he somehow already understands the joy of bringing happiness to his people. If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly, and heart-meltingly sweet pup, Jett might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to be someone’s best friend for life—could that be you?   EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Jett's Mother was killed by another dog when she gave birth.  So sad but a rescue saved them and bottle feed them for weeks. After they were bottle feed, Best Friend Pet Adoption admitted two of the puppies.  Jett and Jax are both looking for their forever homes. Can you provide a wonderful home for them?     Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Applicants must live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian 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 require applicants to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.   INTERESTED IN ADOPTING JETT ?

Story
Meet Montana – The Wiggle Machine with a Heart of Gold Quick Facts: Name: Montana Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Age: 2 years Weight: 59 lbs House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Working on it—very well-behaved in the home Other Pets: Cat-selective; best with proper introductions Good with Kids: Best with older kids due to his size and exuberance Energy Level: High—playful, social, and full of bounce Special Needs: Would benefit from continued training with a confident owner Why You’ll Love Montana: Overflowing with personality—goofy, affectionate, and always happy to see you House-trained and leash trained Social butterfly who loves people (and UPS drivers!) Loves to play and enjoys walks or backyard zoomies Smart and eager to learn—great for active, experienced dog parents Has an adorable “happy-feet” dance when he gets excited Fully vetted and ready to be someone’s best friend About Montana’s Breed Mix: American Staffordshire Terrier American Staffordshire Terrier mixes are affectionate, intelligent, and full of personality. These loyal companions are deeply devoted to their people and thrive when included in daily life. AmStaffs are strong, athletic, and playful, making them ideal for active homes where they can burn off energy and show off their smarts. With consistent training and socialization, they’re often great with other dogs and gentle with children. Confident yet loving, an AmStaff mix is a steady, soulful friend who brings both fun and loyalty into the home. Montana’s Story & Personality: Montana arrived severely neglected—emaciated and covered in wounds—but you’d never know it from his joyful spirit. This resilient boy greets everyone with a smile and a tail wag. He’s housetrained, walks beautifully on leash, and is looking for a home that can match his energy and enthusiasm for life. Montana adores people, especially those who give him attention (bonus points if you’re a delivery driver!). He thrives with structure and would love an adopter who can continue basic training. He’s very intelligent and eager to learn, making him a great student. Because of his exuberance, a home with older kids is ideal—Montana’s happy wiggles and “herding” behavior (yes, he may gently tug your shirt to guide you!) can be a bit much for little ones. He would truly shine in a household that values playful energy, daily walks, and affection on tap. Montana’s Perfect Home: Active adopter or family who can keep up with his energy Fenced yard or regular outdoor time to run and play Older children or teens who can enjoy his goofball nature A confident, experienced dog parent to continue training A family who wants a smart, affectionate, social pup to share adventures Ready to Make Montana Yours? Montana is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to find a forever family that appreciates his bounce, brains, and boundless heart. If you’re ready for an affectionate companion who will make you smile every day, Montana is your guy. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application.

Story
Bonnie is a 2 year old, 49 Lb American Staffordshire Terrier This dog is not part of CrisisDogsNC.  This is a courtesy posting on behalf of Ben with Haven Dog Training.  If you are interested in finding out more, email him directly at email ben@havendogtraining.com  Meet Bonnie. When it comes to homing dogs a sob story sells (and boy does she have one) however, I want someone to adopt her because they want a great dog and not because they want to get a dog on an emotional impulse or to brag about her back story. For anyone I interview as a potential home I will tell you everything I know about her.    Bonnie is energetic, smart, and incredibly sweet. For the right dog person she even has sport dog potential. She was intitially unsure around large men but now will warm up to anyone. She also loves playing with my personal dogs. She’s my ideal pet dog-has a good burst of energy and then will happily sleep the rest of the day away.    Bonnie is crate, house, and leash trained. I want her to go to a home that will incorporate training into their life with her, crate her when leaving her home, and shower her with love. I have taken her on as my personal project and so she is available directly through me. I am in no rush to get rid of her. I am willing to wait for the perfect home. Ideally I want her to go to someone in/around the triangle so I can do a follow up lesson as well as be a resource for life. I also offer boarding to dogs that have been through one of my programs. While she’s been just fine with other dogs as well as an indoor pet rabbit I think she’d thrive as an only dog-she literally cannot get enough love.    If you’re interested in applying to be Bonnie’s new home then email ben@havendogtraining.com with your name, number, and location as well as why you would like to adopt her and I’ll get back to you from there. If you aren’t looking for a new dog but see this-sharing it would be a huge help. The more people that share her,  the more likely she’ll find the perfect home nearby.      November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Hello, my name is Pudge! I am a spunky silly boy that just can’t get enough attention. I love my people and my foster sister! We love to play, run and chew on treats. I can be somewhat timid around people because I’m still not sure about them. Once I get attached to you, I'm your best friend and you are mine. I like being pet but I really love to play and to run! I’d love to be with someone who likes to play a lot and then snuggle up for a nap. Like any puppy, I do get into things I'm not supposed to. I'm learning what I can chew and what I shouldn't chew. I am pretty good with my housetraining, but due to my age still have occasional accidents. I do have one weird quirk. I only like to poop outside at night! I will go when I am running around outside but prefer the cover of the dark sky. Maybe my name should be Batman!  I'm already neutered and up to date on on vaccinations. I do need a home with another dog.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Get ready to be smitten by Norman. He is the sweetest, goofy 3 year old Lab Pittie mix that thrives with love and attention. He loves his people, cuddling, and going on walks. He has a beautiful grey coat, white chest, white “socks”, and the cutest little tortilla chip shaped ears. Norman will flourish with a human that is willing to continue to work regularly with him on obedience training, but we assure you that this commitment will be rewarding because of all the love he has to give.  Norman has been covered by health insurance since he was 2 months old and has no preexisting medical conditions. Adoption of Norman would include a crate with pad and cover, 2 dog beds, toys, and a dog cot.  Norman needs a fenced in backyard, and until further notice needs to wear a muzzle in public.  Good with some dogs. Good with older respectful kids only.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 1, 2025, 11:49 pm
