Story
Duck is a lovable whirlwind of a dog. His favorite people get more wiggles than his body can contain and he will literally never stop playing fetch. He also has a calm side: Duck will not complain if you have to skip a walk, and he is happy to lounge around during down time. He is loyal, and well-trained on and off leash. A fantastic walker and a dreamy hiking companion, he also responds quickly to commands like stay and place. Despite our best training efforts and management, Duck is not happy in a home with our two young children (3 and under). He has growled and snapped at them unprovoked, and seems overstimulated. Heartbreakingly, he needs a calmer home life with more attention and dog experience than we can provide. With a person/people that can give him focus and attention, Duck will thrive. Age: 5 yrs (January 2021 estimated birthday) Breed: Pit/Golden Retriever/Australian Shepard mix Color/Coat: Apricot, medium-long hair Weight: 50 lbs

Story
Lada is a sweet, affectionate mixed breed whose age while unknown is guessed by our veterinarian as about 1.5 years. She loves to cuddle and turn over so her belly is rubbed. She plays fetch. She is house-broken and crate-trained. She likes being in her crate in our bedroom at night. She is wicked smart and the sky is the limit on what tricks she can learn. She is very healthy. She is a good eater and is not fussy about food. Lada is up-to-date on all vaccinations and NextGard Plus chews. Lada is spayed and chipped. She is about 35 pounds. We will hand over all vet records. We adopted her in October. We do not know her history before then. The fact of the matter is that we are older and fear we will fall when she pulls us on walks. She pulls hard and barks wildly when she sees another dog. She is a good watch dog. Lada is good with children and visitors to our house, including our grandchildren, who are toddlers.

Story
Meet Seven.Yes, that Seven. The internet can argue about 6 / 7 all it wants. He is very confidently Seven. Seven came to Perfectly Imperfect Pups with vision and hearing challenges, but if you watched him for a few minutes, you might question that entirely. The vet believes he has limited sight and hearing, yet he navigates the house with ease, follows the other dogs confidently, and is surprisingly aware of his surroundings. We suspect he can see and hear a bit, because he responds to movement, tracks the pack, and rarely bumps into anything. What stands out most is not what Seven cannot do, but how much he can do. He is incredibly smart, curious, and wonderfully goofy. He loves exploring, figuring things out, and following the other dogs’ lead, especially when it is time to head outside. He is now about 95% house trained and continues to improve every day. Seven is also a major snuggler. He bonds quickly with his people and loves being close. At night, he sleeps very well in a crate as long as it is near his person, and he settles nicely. During the day he can relax in a crate for a few hours, though he does best in a home where someone is around more often, works from home, or can come home at lunch, since he gets a little anxious if left too long. He absolutely loves other dogs and gains confidence from them. Having a friendly dog buddy in the home would likely help him continue to thrive. He is also starting to walk nicely on a leash and is enjoying learning about the world one step at a time. If you did not know Seven had vision and hearing challenges, you likely would not notice. He simply approaches life in his own thoughtful, adorable way. Seven is going to make an exceptional family member for someone ready to love a dog who may do things a little differently — and wonderfully so. Perfectly Imperfect, just as he is meant to be. pipsrescue.org/adopt ##2640231##

Samuel

Australian Shepherd

Male, 1 yr
Wake Forest, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Samuel is a 44 lb young adult Australian shepherd mix with a heart as big as his energy level. And trust us — he loves people. Every new face is a chance for a new friend, and he greets everyone with that signature Aussie mix sparkle that makes you feel like the most important person in the world. High‑energy doesn’t just describe Samuel — it’s practically his personal brand. He’s happiest when he’s moving, exploring, learning, or playing. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a romp in the yard, or a brisk walk where he can take in all the sights and smells, Samuel throws himself into life with enthusiasm that’s impossible not to smile at. Samuel is not the kind of guy who would be happy with short jaunts and needs very active young people who know about his breed. Included in that, he would also not be happy in an apartment setting and would do best in a home with a fenced in yard. He’s smart, too, and would thrive with someone who enjoys teaching tricks, offering enrichment, or giving him fun “jobs” to do. But beneath all that bounce is a genuinely sweet, affectionate dog who wants to be part of your world. He loves being included, loves being talked to, and loves the simple joy of being near his people. Give him structure, activity, and a family who appreciates his zest for life, and he’ll reward you with loyalty, laughter, and endless tail wags. Samuel could do well in a home with female dogs but would prefer to be the only male dog in the home. If you’re looking for a happy, people‑loving, adventure‑ready companion who brings sunshine wherever he goes, Samuel is ready to brighten your home and your heart.

Chesney

Australian Shepherd

Male, 1 yr 6 mos
Youngsville, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
(10/04/2024) Chesney is a cheerful guy and happy to participate in any fun, family daily activities. He would be very happy to join a family with another playful dog(s), kids that want to play fetch, or even a home with cats!!! Due to his playful exuberance, older kids are recommended to ensure everyone has a great time together. Chesney has "passed" his cat test and would be ok joining a family with kitties in their home. Chesney is a young, energetic dog with a heart full of enthusiasm and a love for the great outdoors. He's incredibly athletic and thrives on playing fetch and chasing after balls; he's always ready for his next adventure! Chesney is super friendly, eager to please his people, and loves being part of the action. He's food-motivated and responds well to praise, making training a fun and rewarding experience. While he's crate trained, Chesney isn't a big fan of the crate. With a little continued practice, he's sure to become even more confident on walks. Chesney would flourish in a home with a young, active family, especially one where someone works from home or can provide daycare to keep him happily busy. If you're looking for a lively, affectionate companion who will keep you on your toes and bring endless joy to your home, Chesney might just be your perfect match! As part of Chesney’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Chesney, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2392608##

Bennington (Bennie)

Australian Shepherd Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 mos
Raleigh, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Bennie is a sweet, cuddly boy who loves to follow you around and snuggle up to you when relaxing. He’s very quick to learn and has done exceptionally well with house training and leash/off-leash walking. We were told that this litter’s parents are Australian Shepherds, though we cannot guarantee their exact breed mix. What we can say is that these puppies seem to share many classic Aussie traits—smart, active, and happiest when they have something to do. Bennie will do best with a family ready to continue his puppy training and provide plenty of both physical activity and mental enrichment as he grows. Bennie is an energetic puppy and loves short outings outdoors where he can run around in an open space. He gets along well with other dogs (currently being fostered in a home with a 2-year-old mini-Aussie). He'd enjoy having a playmate his size and energy level to help keep him active and entertained. Bennie likes having plenty of choices of pillows, beds, and soft areas (blankets, rugs) to lie on. He loves chew toys and plushy squeak or crinkly stuffies. He very much enjoys being doted and loved on by the people around him. If you're ready for an adorable and energetic little buddy, apply to meet Bennie!
