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##

Story
Carti is a beautiful 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, weighing about 75 lbs, with a lively and energetic personality. He has been part of our family since he was a puppy with my son. When my son relocated and couldn't take him along, Carti came to live with me on February 16, 2026. He is neutered, fully up to date on his vaccinations, and in excellent health. Like many Australian Shepherds, Carti is intelligent, active, and deeply loyal. He can also experience some anxiety and is naturally protective of his family, which makes him especially devoted to the people he trusts. With recent changes in our household and a busier schedule, I'm concerned that Carti isn't getting the level of activity, engagement, and consistency he truly needs to thrive. He loves to run, play, and be mentally stimulated, and he would do best in a home that can provide plenty of exercise and attention. Carti is a loving dog, and we are continuing to work on his training as he adjusts to new dynamics in the home

Story
Is he stunning? Yes, he is. Is he smart? Yes he is. Is he a silly, goofy ball of big energy? Yes he is. Can he be yours? Yes, he can! Aragon is a younger adult Aussie mix who has the coat of a lion and the heart of a clown with LOTS of energy! Aragon is an adult who weighs about 50 lbs, maybe a third of which is his hair. Aragon absolutely is an example of his breed with high energy and a strong drive to play, learn and do. He is the kind of guy that would love some adventuring pawrents, lots of walks and hikes and would likely be a fab jogging partner as well! He is not likely a good match for apartment living and would much prefer places to run and roam. He does well with other dogs and has preferred those who play hard like he does. Aragon is ready to be your fuzzy bear and exercise partner all rolled up into one.

Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE STARTING WEDNESDAY 6/10 *** Hello, I’m Remi or Remi Rue, if you prefer. Let me tell you a little about me. I love everyone! Never met a stranger I didn’t charm. I love to be near my person but also play outside and smell ALL the smells and play with all the toys. My favorites right now are hard rubber ones for my growing teeth. I’m crate trained and go right into it with “let’s go to bed” or “go to bed”. I don’t put up much of a fuss at all and settle right in for either work or bed time. I’m usually good at sleeping through the night but if I have water too close to bed time, sometimes I wake my person up once for a potty break. I love playing with my foster brother and would LOVE to have a playmate, but if I’m your one and only that’s okay too. Speaking of pottying, I’m still working on going potty outside but if you tell me “let’s go potty” I will follow you to the backyard. Sometimes I have an accident but that’s because I’m playing so hard and forget to signal when I need to go. I’m super unsure about the leash and harness but with positive reinforcement and encouragement, I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it! I’m a fun loving, uber cuddly, active pup looking for my furever family. If you’d like to meet me, put in your adoption request in today!

Story
Meet Phoenix Wright! Phoenix is a happy, playful, active Australian Shepherd mix puppy. Phoenix is part of a large, accidental litter that was born in a home and socialized early. Though we have been told that the parents are Australian Shepherds, we cannot guarantee a breed or adult size. Phoenix and the rest of his litter are very stereotypical Aussies though! Phoenix is a big boy for his age--bigger than his sister, for sure! He may be on the larger size when fully grown. He is being fostered with one of his sisters, Maya Fey (Fey). They play hard in a fenced yard, then sleep hard on the patio furniture or in their crate. Phoenix loves playing with toys and playmates, snuggling with people or dogs, and discovering the outside world. He currently lives with other dogs and older children and does fine with all of them. So far he has only been vocal when playing, however we cannot guarantee his suitability for an apartment. Phoenix is a typical Aussie mix puppy: smart, social, playful, and energetic! His ideal home would provide patience and consistency in his training so he can be his best self, and would provide activity and stimulation. He could live with another dog or as an only dog who gets to play with dog friends regularly. Phoenix is a happy, sweet boy who would love to play and snuggle with his people!

Story
Fluffy is a 9-year-old male Australian Shepherd mix looking for a loving new home. He’s a sweet, low energy dog who absolutely loves cuddling and will happily climb into your lap for belly rubs. He enjoys being outdoors and relaxing with his people. Fluffy knows a few commands like sit, lay down, and paw, and he’s very food motivated. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard or where he can be kept on a leash, as he sometimes likes to take off and turn it into a game of chase. He’s great with kids but cannot live with cats or other small animals, and he can be a bit territorial around food and treats. This is a very difficult decision due to a divorce and a long-distance move. My goal is simply to find Fluffy a safe, loving home where he can continue to be the cuddly companion he is.
