Story
Merle is a fun, smart almost 1 year-old pup who’s always ready for his next big adventure. With a mix of Aussie, Collie, Am Staff, and Beagle, he’s got the brains and the energy to match. He loves being outside and would be a great partner for someone who enjoys hiking, running, or exploring new places. Personality & Training: Merle learns fast and already knows his basic manners. He’s currently in a training program, and his adoption even comes with free sessions with his trainer plus 30 days of online support. He’s happiest when he gets both mental and physical exercise, so a family who can keep him active and stick to a routine would be perfect for him. Home Needs: Merle is being fostered on a farm where he’s around dogs, kids, and farm animals every day, and he handles everything with curiosity and confidence. Because he has herding instincts, he’ll do best in a home with older teens instead of young kids. He’d love an active family who’s ready for a fun, outdoorsy buddy. Health & Adoption Info: Merle is neutered, healthy, and up to date on all his vaccines. He’s located near Raleigh, NC, and we’d like to keep him close so he can continue working with his trainer. If you want a loyal, adventurous, and super smart dog who’s always excited to explore the world with you, Merle might be the perfect match.

Story
(10/04/2024) 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 and is working on his leash manners — 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. 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. 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##

Story
(DOB 10/04/2024)  Meet Chaz – the ultimate bundle of energy and happiness! This friendly, athletic boy is always ready for action and loves to keep busy. His favorite pastime? Pushing his big ball around the yard and playing fetch for hours on end – he's a true sports star in the making! Super smart and eager to learn, Chaz would thrive in an active home where he can go for daily walks or run free in a spacious, fenced yard. Confident and engaging, Chaz gets along best with a submissive playmate or as the only dog, and he’s crate trained and house trained with a steady routine. He’s still working on his leash skills but is eager to improve! While he’s great with older kids who can match his energetic nature, no cats for this lively guy. If you’re looking for a joyful, energetic companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your days with fun, Chaz is ready to be your new best friend! As part of Chaz’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 Chaz, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2397186##
