Story
If you adore hunky low riders, Santos is your boy! He is a young adult pittie mix, weighing about 50 lbs, with the best moves and super sweet personality. He's a solid, sturdy boy that is learning to walk on a leash and looks to our volunteers for direction and praise. He enjoys being told how good he is and will reward you with the cutest wiggly butt move you may ever see. He can be a bit cautious upon first introductions to people and other dogs but is happy to meet new friends and warms up quickly. Santos likes other dogs but would also be fine being your one and only. Come meet this snuggly, wiggly boy for yourself and you'll understand why everyone on the farm is talking about him. Get your adoption request in today to meet him. Recent Weekend Host commented: " He loves being around people!" " He did great in the car he pretty much just laid in the back seat ." "He had no accidents in the house" "He loved the shower. " "He loves to walk, he was not car reactive in the neighborhood. He did think every person should stop and adore and him. We did about a mile." " He loved running around the backyard (helped pulling out weeds!)" " He takes food very gently." "He also really enjoys watching TV!"

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
This guy. He's been through the MOST. He was dragged out of his yard by another dog in a violent fashion, barely making it out alive. Taken to urgent care, he was handed over to animal control after his treatment. He was fighting for his life. Because of what he looked like, no other rescue wanted this guy, but we couldn't let him die after he just fought so hard to live! Luckily, a very knowledgable foster home said she would take him til he healed and work on his medical needs. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and HW-. He is an amazing soul and good boy. We hope you will consider him if your dog needs a dog - he really wants to play with other dogs! Another dog can also be a mentor to him and show him that the world isn't so scary, that there are good people in it! Please apply to apply.neshamarescue.org

Story
Pringles  has immense love to give to her human friends. She loves kids!  She was shy at first but is now generous with tail wags, jumping around in a circle and random kisses. Are you a family looking for a furry 4-legged family member? Then please consider sweet Pringles! Though her origin story wasn’t one of compassion or care, she relishes in all of the love and attention now! She is so sweet. She is done good with potty training with her foster family; keep her a schedule and she is good to go. She is quiet (haven't heard her bark yet). Pringles is also super smart. With her love of food, she is treat motivated to learn and please her family. Plus, any kind of praise, love and attention go a long way. She will beam with happiness and pride! She really trains fast; her leash walks have gotten so much easier so quickly! She is a tiny pup at a little over 40 lbs, so a really great size! Not only does Pringles love Pringles, she really loves food in general; she loves to eat! She may get closer to the 50 mark as her final weight. She has shown some a little sass at random times to the foster family's dog (also a female) but could be corrected with time, patience, and training. Pringles would probably be best as an only dog. She is also a great sleeper. Pringle loves being with her people and would rather be inside with you than running around outside. For that reason, she does not require a fenced in yard and would be a good choice for apartment or condo living (as mentioned, she is a quite girl, too). She is amazing; she has soooooo much love and affection to give and will shower you with her caring; she deserves the love she gives.  The question that is often asked; "Why Pringles you ask? Was she really named after the chip??" Yep, just like the chips! She had some Pringles at the shelter and was a favorite of the staff, so her nickname was kept. As part of Pringles’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 Pringles, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##1950588##

Django is a wonderful 3 year old friend. He can be very shy and timid at times, but with some encouragement, his confidence shines through! He is great with cats, dogs, and babies but seems to get uncomfortable around toddlers. He loves cuddles, playing fetch, and to keep you close company all day❤️

Fif is a good dog! I've taken very good care of him. But I'm 62 years old and I didn't know much about his breed, he's too much dog for me at my age and the expenses of keeping him has become a strain on me and my family. He's had puppy training but I couldn't afford to continue to next level training. He's never been aggressive but I can't really socialize him because most people are afraid of him from sight. I love Fif this is hard for me but I want him to be happy and I feel I can't do that he needs a more active home.

Hi! My name is Harley and this wonderful rescue saved me hours from being euthanized. I am an older girl, around 5, and I love just chilling with my people and feeling the breeze in my fur!  I love people and other dogs but no cats please - they are too exciting for me. I am house trained, crate trained, and I have great leash manners! I might be a little older but I still have spunk and love going on walks and being outside. I was used for breeding for such a long time so I am ready to be the pup that gets spoiled!!! I deserve it! Please give me a chance to show you I'm the sweetest pup and just want to be loved. You will not regret it!!! ##1674541##

Story
Say hello to Chester Drawers. Found as a stray, Chester is about ten years old. He has been through a lot, and is partially deaf but it doesn't slow him down. He loves to walk around his foster parents backyard and sniff and smell, but when its time to come in and get head scratches, he is right there with the best of him. Chester has been neutered, gotten a dental and also had a small tumor removed from his chest. He is HW-, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He would love to be in a home with another unassuming dog or even by himself, as long as there are treats and head scratches to be found. Apply at apply.neshamarescue.org
