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##

Story
Meet Tuna! 🐾 She came to us with her brother Bruno. They were both extremely malnourished, but after 3 vet visits and lots of TLC she is doing great! Tuna is a 4-month-old bundle of happiness with the sweetest white tuft of fur on her chest, big floppy ears that can’t decide which way to go, and a long tail that’s always wagging! She’s potentially a Labrador and Border Collie mix, which means she’s smart, confident, and full of life. Tuna has a fun, independent personality. She’s the kind of puppy who loves to explore on her own and figure things out, but she’s never far from her people when it’s time for some attention or a cuddle. She’s curious about everything and approaches the world with a happy, adventurous spirit. She’s doing wonderfully with crate training and quickly learning the ropes of her routine. Her confidence helps her adjust easily to new environments, and she seems to take everything in stride. Tuna enjoys her playtime, whether it’s chasing toys, romping around the yard, or just rolling over for belly rubs when she’s ready for a break. Despite her playful independence, Tuna has a loving side that shines through once she’s had a little time to settle in. She’s affectionate without being clingy — the perfect balance of sweet and self-assured. Tuna would do great in a home that appreciates her smarts and gives her room to explore, play, and keep learning. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a park companion, or a loyal friend to share your couch, Tuna’s ready to be your girl. She’s confident, happy, and full of potential — all she needs now is a family to grow up with and love forever. Apply to adopt Tuna today!

Story
This pup is eligible for our Test the Couch program — a 7-day trial adoption to see if your home (and your couch) is the perfect fit. Learn more  https://pipsrescue.org/test-the-couch/ Sasha the Snuggle-Pup – “Fluffy, Fun, and Full of Personality!” By: CozyDogMom Wow. Just wow. Sasha has the softest, floofiest coat I’ve ever experienced—like hugging a cloud that wants to play fetch. She’s goofy in the best way and is always game for an adventure (or a nap). Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cuddle buddy with a dash of sass!   Trick-Learning Prodigy – “Smart, silly, and training like a champ.” By: FirstTimePupTrainer Sasha picks up on commands FAST. She’s eager to please and super treat-motivated. We’re working on “sit,” “stay,” and “don’t chew the shoe,” and she’s nailing it. She does test boundaries (toddler energy!), but with consistency, she thrives. If you love training sessions, she’s your girl.   Best with Big-Dog Buddies – ½ “Loves confident canine companions—but no cats, please.” By: PackLeaderVibes Sasha truly shines around other confident dogs her size or bigger. She takes cues from them beautifully and gains confidence quickly. But homes with cats or small dogs? Not her vibe. She’s got a big personality and needs friends who can match her energy.   Kid-Friendly-ish – “Great with older kids, not for toddlers.” By: DogDadWithTeens Sasha adores kids—but younger ones might find her a bit too clever for comfort! She does best with older children who can stick to consistent commands and not let her sneak an extra treat (or three). Think “fun-loving puppy meets tiny lawyer.”   All the Essentials Included – “Vaccinated, spayed, and ready to move in.” By: ReadyToAdopt Fully vetted, spayed, and healthy—this pup is as turnkey as they come. No assembly required (unless you count assembling a toy collection for her). Sasha is absolutely adoption-ready!   Final Verdict: A Must-Adopt! – “She’s not just a good dog—she’s a great dog.” By: FutureBestFriend If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, fun-loving pup who thrives on affection and structure, Sasha is the perfect pick. No cats, no tiny dogs—but tons of love and laughter guaranteed. ##2056176##
