Story
(DOB 11/29/2019) Journey a gentle soul on a beautiful path toward a life filled with love, safety, and belonging. True to her name, Journey is ready for her next chapter, one where kindness, patience, and loyalty lead the way. If you’re looking for a velcro dog who will follow you from room to room just to be sure everything is okay, Journey is your girl. She showers her people with kisses, adores being close, and forms deep, meaningful bonds. Smart, submissive, and incredibly sweet, she is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart and never gives it back. Journey greets new people with a wagging tail and a warm, friendly presence. She’s house-trained, rides beautifully in the car, and loves the simple joys in life sunbathing, snuggling, and stretching her legs in a secure yard where she can run, zoom, and tap into her playful inner hunter.  A puppy at heart, Journey is still figuring out the whole “toys” thing. She doesn’t quite understand fetch yet, but she shows her happiness through gentle, mouthy play and using her paws to interact. She’s highly treat-motivated and very smart, which makes training a wonderful opportunity to build trust and deepen your bond together. While her feelings about other animals are still being explored, Journey has more than enough love and personality to be the center of your universe. She thrives in a home where someone is around most of the time and is still building confidence with crate training and being home alone (not her favorite thing). With patience, flexibility, and consistency, she will continue to grow more secure and independent at her own pace. She’s currently learning that counters are not for snacks (especially when she thinks no one is watching ). Her counter surfing is limited to front paws only and is easily managed with supervision, redirection, and keeping tempting items out of reach. Journey can also be a bit mouthy when she’s excited, expressing her joy with gentle nips that respond well to consistent training and appropriate outlets. Journey is a lovely work in progress motivated, eager to learn, and full of potential. Her ideal home will offer a fenced yard for exercise, sunbathing, and frequent potty breaks, along with humans who have flexible schedules and enjoy spending time at home and out adventuring together. She feels safest and does her best when she has loving human guidance nearby. If you have a secure fence, a soft bed, and a heart ready to guide a devoted dog toward her best self, Journey is ready to begin her new life with you, and she promises to love you every step of the way. As part of Journey’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 Journey, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2600783##

Story
River is a smart, housebroken, crate trained, and food motivated approx one year old mix.. His foster home has been working on leash skills and he already knows several basic commands. He would do fantastic with a single young adult or child-free couple who have some experience with dogs already and can continue to build on the foundation they have been working on. He is young and has a lot to learn. River’s ideal home has: A dog his size that will play with him and help him learn doggy social skills, his foster home only has small old pups and he wants them to play so badly. A fenced in yard for zoomies and games of fetch (Eventually he might even learn to bring the ball back!) He’s never attempted to escape the yard but a 6’ tall fence is recommended so he’s never tempted. He can leap clear over the couch… Maybe agility training is in his future! No small kids - he is fostered with several kids, as young as 4 years old, but is very much a puppy at heart does not seem to realize his own size and strength and can still be a bit unpredictable. Lots of durable toys like Kongs and Benebones available. He LOVES to chew on toys but does a really good job only chewing what he’s allowed too. Stuffed animals with squeakers are a blast for him - albeit very short lived!

Story
We first met Hank (aka Wrinkle Daddy) 5 years ago at our local shelter. We were told at the time that he was 2 years old, making him 7 now. We instantly fell in love with his sweet face and goofy personality and took him home that day. Hank looks forward to a daily walk but otherwise is the ultimate couch companion! This snuggly and affectionate guy loves to curl up with people and will even ask to get under a blanket with you if you’re inclined to let him. Hank has received professional training and responds to basic commands. He is very food motivated which makes additional treat training easier. We love this dog and think he would make a great solo pet for the right household!
