Amelia has the best ears and such beautiful expressions on her gorgeous face!  Don't you agree?  She is medium size (~48 lbs) and would love a home where she is given a lot of opportunity to play and be a pup. She loves playing and would do great with another playful pup or a day or two at doggie day camp is always fun as well.    She loves going for walks, is curious, eager to please her family, very smart and treat motivated.  She is learning good leash manners but does pull if she sees something that excites her. We use positive reinforcement training with treats, and she is responding well. It is a great part of her wonderful daily routine. Ameila is a sweetheart; she loves snuggles time with her humans.   She is also content being outside and soaking up all the sunshine.  A fenced yard is required for Amelia; she loves to run, play and burn of energy.  Another dog isn't required for Ameilia; however, a fun, furry sibling to play with would be great fit for this young, playful, happy girl! Her new family will need to make sure they have the appropriate amount of time to spend with her burning off her happy excitment. She loves all kinds of toys, so stock up on a variety for her to play with. Probably not a perfect apartment pup as she will bark when she hears noises outside.   Not only is she dog friendly, she was tested at the shelter and was curious about cats. Her foster kitty sibling has not given Amelia the opportunity to interact. She will chase if they run, and she likely wants to play.  So a family with dog-savvy cats should be ok.  Amelia is also good with kids and lives with 2 little ones in her foster family (2 and 4 year olds).  She knows no stranger and loves everyone she meets. Amelia can be super happy when she sees new dogs or people, and we are working on her exuberance level; sometimes she can hardly contain her excitement to meet you. She may jump and bark, and just know it's all because she is super happy and interested in saying HELO, I AM HAPPY TO MEET YOU!   Amelia is really a bit of a couch potato, so someone to sit with her and watch, TV, read and relax would be wonderful. She loves spending time with her humans, too!!  Ameilia is doing both crate and house trained; no worries there :). She sleeps in her crate night.    Amelia isn't quite sure about the lawn mowers and they scare her a bit. She has really become a road trip fan and loves going on car rides, so don't hesitate to take her with you. DOB 09/27/2021. She is a female Bulldog mix. As part of Amelia's $300 adoption fee, she is 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 Amelia, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

(DOB 12/25/22) READ FULL BIO BEFORE submitting application. Due to Ander's young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC). Anders ideal home will be up for the energy of an active puppy who loves lots of affection as often as he can get it!   Anders will need a family who enjoys watching his Houdini rehearsals and encourage appropriate outlets for this skill set. He is very smart and working to figure any and everything out! He might be little, but he is mighty! Anders is a resourceful puppy who loves climbing and showing off his ability to escape the impossible and disappear right before your eyes. He will make a great Houdini! He is sure to keep you on your toes during play time. But no need to worry about "looking" for him because he will "popp up" because all he really wants is to be near you.   Anders loves mealtime and will try to convince you he didn't get enough, but don't let that cuteness fool you. He just likes to try and trick you in to getting seconds. Again, is he working to use his wits against yours - such a little smarty pants! Don't let his super, duper cuteness fool you.    Anders loves all the doggies in the house, but isn't to sure about the house cat. I heard him telling his brother that cat cannot be trusted. He thinks they are sketchy. We will see if the house kitty eventually wins him over. Anders favorite weekend activities include movie time with the little people (children 8+) and the extra one on one snuggle time. He is very people oriented and would love to be with you as often as he can. A home with another pup with similar size & energy level is what we are looking for Anders, so he has another dog to continue to build his puppy socialization skills.    As a young puppy, Anders eats 4 meals a day with potty breaks immediately after. This is the begining of his potty training and his new family will need to continue to build open his routine. He shares a kennel at night with his brother and daytime in a puppy pen. He gets one on one love time after each meal where he can explore, play with toys, or just curl up in your lap for a nap.   As with all young pups, a family committed to positive reinforcement training daily is important for balance and manners. We want all of our pups to grow and mature with good boundaries and a lot of socialization. Anders loves everyone he meets so get him out and about to a variety of places to experience new things and meet lots of people.   A fence is not required for little Anders, so an apartment, condo, or townhome could be a good fit for him. His family would need to be able to take him out 4-5 times a day for walks and potty breaks. If the home had a fence, it MUST be very solid with no small slits, slots, or spaces for little Anders to get out of; he should be monitored outside and not left alone.   Like all puppies, Anders loves all kinds of toys and playtime. It is important to make sure you have a several play sessions a day to work his busy brain and burn his puppy energy. He shares his toys nicely and is a fun little guy. He is the quiet one between him and his brother and certainly not as vocal.   As part of Ander's $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. At the time of adoption, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Ander, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Aspen would be an awesome addition to your family! When you see her you will see she has the most beautiful brown eyes that sparkle in the sun against her gleaming, sleek black coat.  She has a big, bright smile guaranteed to brighten your day with two great ears that are most often found - one going up and one going out. What's not to love??   Aspen is very smart, gentle, and loving. She gets along with other young, playful dogs and would love another fun, furry sibling in her new home.  This girl is also good with kids. She plays with her foster sibling who is 3 year old dog off and on most of the day.  Aspen would like a little time being introduced to new dogs and get to know them.  She isn't a huge fan of doggie daycare or dog parks...she likes a smaller playtime environment.   She loves toys of all kinds and has no problem "stealing" them from another pup!  Make sure to have a variety on hand for her to play with! Aspen does not require another pup in the home as long as her family makes sure to give her lots of love, attention and spends a lot of time with her playing and burning off energy.   Give this girl a yard with a 5ft fall fence so she can run and play.  She loves the out-of-doors and has a fun time chasing any of those little creatures like rabbits, cats, squirrels or birds so if they find their way into the yard off she goes giving chase! She would much rather be in the yard then walking on a leash.  She hasn't tried to jump so a 5ft fence should be fine; she will dart at an open gate so keep those latches/doors secured at all times.    Aspen also loves the car so feel free to pack her up when you are on the go. She will be a great road trip companion. Plus she is good with strangers; just a little shy at first.  With some love and attention, her beautiful Aspen smile will greet everyone! She has the shiniest, black coat with the cutest ears that go this way and that. She has a lady swish, swag, just a little limp that makes her have the cutest little Aspen shuffle.     She isn't quite crate trained at this time; she sleeps in a spare room and does fine.  She is already potty/house trained so no need to worry about that.  She uses a doggie door at ther foster house and let's herself out when she has to go.  She loves doggie day care as well.    She is smart lady and already knows basic commands like SIT and DOWN.  She likes going for walks and is good on a leash.  She will just be an overall AWESOME addition to almost any family!  So what are you waiting for?  Aspen is just a perfect girl so wait no longer to fill out an application and get approved for adoption!    DOB 06/01/2019, Lab mix. As part of Aspen's $250 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Aspen, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org show less

(DOB 12/23/2022). Due to Boo’s young age, she has not yet been spayed. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).   Baby Boo, is the one and only girl in the Monster's Inc litter. Sassy and sticking up for herself in a land full of big brothers, she holds her own quite nicely. Boo will most definitely want another playful and energic doggo in her new home! She is the smallest, but none of that stops our girl Boo! She a feisty, independent, high energy girl who can hold her own with the boys and put them in their place!  Sometimes when she becomes frustrated with one of her brothers, she will just stand defiantly in front of him and “yell” at him. It's really quite funny!   She would love for you to give her all of the butt scratches; she will be wiggly, twitchy, smiley and lovin' it the whole time!! She is so stinking cute when you scratch her adorable little bum. She twists herself into a circle because she enjoys it so much.   When Boo relaxes, she loves to be held and get snuggle time. She gets so excited about it that she wiggles around for a bit and needs a minute to calm down. Once she settles, she really enjoys lap time. Her mom and siblings all have a sweet temperament similar to Boo’s, and they all love to be around people. Boo was around younger children for a while and did well so a home with kids familar with dogs and about 8+ years so age should be fine. Because Boo is a puppy, she sometimes nips to get attention, but she is quickly learning to give kisses instead. She licks her foster mom’s leg a lot!   Boo and her littermates are very smart. They learned right away to sit on command for a treat, and are doing very well with other training. They are learning to stay calm to receive their treat, and to take their treat nicely. They are still puppies, and puppies have sharp teeth and can be a bit nippy. Boo and her siblings have been learning bite inhibition, and are doing well with not biting very much, or very hard, but they do still bite sometimes. Boo is very eager to please, but can get distracted easily, so shorter and more frequent training sessions will probably work best for her. Remember training is very, very important in the 1st year as well as lots of variety in places, people, and things to go and do. It builds confidence and a well rounded personality.   Boo loves to play with toys – any toy! Squeakers, plushies, chew toys – Boo loves them all. She enjoys playing tug with her siblings, but she really wants to play tug with you! Puppies love to chew, so Boo will need a big supply of fun puppy toys. Boo is not yet house trained, but she has done well with learning to use a pee pad. She is very bright, and treat motivated, so she should be easy to house train. She makes a big production of having to poop, so you will definitely know when she needs to go out! She has access to a crate and sometimes sleeps there, but she has not yet been officially crate trained.   She has not yet met other dogs (that will be coming soon!!), or kitties, but she’s young enough that she should adjust easily. The younger you introduce puppies, the better!   Boo is a beautiful female Pittie mix puppy with the most adorable eyebrow mark. It's like a little new make-up fashion trend she is planning on starting. Boo’s mom is about 50 lbs and has the most beautiful Pointer-like markings, so Boo is expected to be about the same.   As part of Boo’s $325 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Boo, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

(DOB 1/18/2023). Due to Bourbon’s young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).   Though most Bourbon's made in the US come from Kentucky, our Bourbon comes straight from NC! Bourbon could easily keep you warm, like the slow burn of the liquor he is named after. He has beautiful markings that are similar in color to a nice glass of Bourbon as it catches the light. He has that black and pink speckle of his cute nose and lips that just make you want to give him a sweet kiss! His big, brown eye brow arches accentuate his gorgeous, "you are under my spell" eyes!   Do you have the time and patience for a playful puppy? Well Bourbon would like to give you some great reasons to adopt him. He is super cute, he is love bug, he is happy fellow, he is a great companion for another playful dog, he promises to give you lots of unconditional love!   Bourbon is a happy little puppy with a friendly disposition. He loves everyone he meets and wants to play and get your love and attention! A home with another playful and energic pup is needed for Bourbon's new home so he has a furry sibling to look up to and help teach him the ropes. Socialization with other dogs is really important during the 1st year, so taking Bourbon out and about and meeting other pups is an awesome way to to teach these important skills.   A family/person that is home a significant amount of time or has a pretty flexible schedule is also important since he is learning house training and will need to be on a routine for his little bladder. His new home should have a fenced yard for him to play and run around in and burn off puppy energy.   We encourage all new puppy parents to look into group, positive reinforcement trianing and classes for their furry pup. These build great skills for both the puppy and the parent. Bourbon is at that "I am a sponge" learning stage and the more fun filled training with treats, toys and/or love the better. This includes leash walking; even with a fenced yard, so when he goes the vet and other places he is well behaved and not pulling his parent around.   Though Bourbon hasn't been cat tested; puppies typically adapt well to dog savvy kitties quickly when introduced at a young age. As for children, a home with older children (not young, toddlers, etc.) say 8+, becuase puppies are learning bit inhibition during this time and teething so they are biting and chewing on everything. We don't want little ones toes or fingers ending up in the mouth with sharp teeth. Young kids should be supervised with puppies to ensure proper interactions.   Bourbon loves toys and lots of variety to use his blossoming brain! Make sure to have a toy chest filled with fun things to engage him and keep him occupied and chewing on appropriate play items.   As part of Bourbon’s $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered. If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Bourbon, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

(DOB 1/18/2023). Due to Brandy's young age, she has not yet been spayed. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).   Sweet as a glass of Brandy; that's how we describe our cute girl! She has a loveable personality and wants to find a person who will spoil her rotten! Like a little sweet craving, you won't get enough of Brandy!! She is excited to meet any new person and is all sass and personlity! She can be the life of the party for sure. Rub her belly she thinks it's the best, rub her ears; they are like little velvety blankets.   Little Ms. Brandy wants a big furry brother or sister in her fur-ever home!!  A furry sibling with similar energy level to play with and help teach her proper socialization is very important for her growth and development. She also wants someone who will take her to new places, see new things, and meet new people. She is a bit of a social butterfly so wants to get about and about! Don't leave her behind. Brandy hasn't meet kitties yet, but likely could be adopted into a home with dog savvy cats; puppies tend to adapt well to cats and learn quickly what the kitties will and will not tolerate.   A big fenced yard to run around and play with her fluffy brother/sister is exactly the kind of thing she is looking for in her new home. Children (8+) would be great especially if they plan to play and snuggle with Brandy every day. Toddlers or young kids are not a perfect fit since Brandy is both teething and learning bite inhibition. This normal growth period is important for pups but not a great match for very young kids.   Brandy is at the puppy age where she eats, plays, pees, poops, sleeps and repeats. She loves all kinds of toys and wants you to play with her. Make sure you carve out several times a day you are ready to play, play, play!! Since she is still young and will be going through house training, someone home a majority of the time/flexible/work from home schedule is really what little Brandy is looking for. She is too young to be crated for long periods of time.    We encourage anyone adopting a puppy to join positive reinforcement training class(es) they are great for the pup and the parent. There is so much to learn about behavior in a group environment that helps with proper play and a great way to build consistency in training basic commands. Brandy wants daily walks outside of her fenced yard, too. Leash walking is important for any dog as they grow older for even basic things like going to the vet regularly; a well behaved dog on leash is important!   As part of Brandy’s $325 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered. If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Brandy, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

7/31/2022).  Damon is heartworm positive. Please don’t let this prevent you from adopting him.  He deserves a loving home like all of the other dogs, and the rescue will cover his heartworm treatment. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC) until after her treatment is complete. Damon is new to our program and we are still getting to know him, but we already know he is a young, happy guy who is people-friendly and dog-friendly. More info coming soon.  (DOB 07/30/2021) As part of Damon's $300 adoption fee, he is 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 Damon, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Red dogs have more fun! Desiree can add the fun in your life that you and your pup have been missing! Desiree is a bit on the shy side, but once she gets comfortable with her people, she is the most fun to have around! Having a brother or sister will help give Desiree the confidence that she needs to move around and explore her new environment and go on walks. Desiree is playful on walks with her foster sisters and it's just adorable to see. Desiree has shown some interest in cats, but is too shy to approach them, so a home with dog-savvy cats would be fine for Desiree.   Cute head tilt and beautiful markings! Desiree is gorgeous and just absolutely stunning in person. She has the most gorgeous coloring and beautiful facial expressions. Her coat is silky soft, and she has velvety ears. She is a head turner!!   She has a little bit of a timid personality, but with lots of patience and high-value treats, she will warm up to her new family in no time. A family that will have patience for Desiree to acclimate to her new environment with another dog would be best for Desiree. Desiree takes time to adjust to changes in the home and likes routine. A solid, sturdy 6ft fence is needed for Desi. She loves being outside and playing in the yard with other dogs and people.   She is currently working on leash manners, so a family wanting to work on positive reinforcement training is important. Desiree does best when she has another well-mannered dog to walk with her. Desiree has learned “sit” “wait” and “leave it.” She is working on recall and “stay.” Training with Desiree takes time and patience due to her very shy nature. Once Desiree warms up to her new family, at least fifteen minutes of training every day will be necessary for her to retain what she has learned and to continue to learn.   She is very sweet and can definitely be a snuggler or lap dog and would like to cuddle with you on the sofa. She will lean in on you to give her some love and attention. Desiree will give sweet little paws at you to let you know that she wants some pets. She is super sweet and loving if you give her the time to get to know you.   She is crate trained and house trained. Desiree does not let her people know that she has to go outside for potty time, so regular potty breaks are needed throughout the day. Desiree is still adjusting to car rides. She does well once in the car, but getting in the car takes extra coaxing. She does best in the car when she has a friend to ride with her.   She is a 2-year-old, 45lb female Hound mix. As part of Desiree's $250 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Desiree, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org show less

He will make a such a great companion. He could like be in an only dog or would love to have some playful doggie friends in his fur-ever home! If you don't have another playful pup for him to romp and roll with, make sure you have time to have several play sessions a day. He likes toys to squeak, chew, a play tug and fetch with (no promises he will bring it right back, though).   He gets very excited when he sees new dogs and people so expect him to be "talking a lot" to get everyone's attention.  We are working on this but it's just hard for him to contian his happiness.   Are you ready to meet Dodger?

(DOB 11/05/2022). Due to Fred's young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).    Fred is definitely a snuggle time pal. He loves to crawl up on his human, lay on them, and give them kisses. He is happy if you hold like a baby or sit with him on your lap! Who wouldn't love an adorable, brindle buddy to love?   When he isn't snuggling, he is playing. He has a lot of puppy energy and needs another playful pup in his forever home. He currently lives with his brother and they romp, run, play and goof off throughout the day. He currently has a fenced yard and will want a yard with a fence (min 4ft) at his new home. If he doesn't burn off energy properly, he is at that age that he can find things to get into...you know be a little mischievous! So make sure to keep him occupied with a variety of toys, doggie puzzles, and things appropriate for Fred to chew on!   Fred is already crate trained and sleeps in his crate through the night cuddled up with his brother. He is also house trained and goes out to potty, just keep him on a regular schedule. He is working on leash walking and it's good to continue this daily even with a fenced yard. It gets him out and about for new experiences and meeting new people and dogs...which he LOVES. He is happy and loves to have new friends to meet.   Fred likes to "talk" to his brother and tell him to pay attention to him. It's really cute and funny. He is also, at that age, where he can be easily distracted and one minute eating his meal, next minute catching an imaginary butterfly. He is full of personality, and there is certain to be no dull moments!   Poor Fred does experience some car ride sickness and that should get better as he gets older and he becomes adjusted to the motion. Fred does not live with cats so hasn't been cat tested. If there are children in the home, they should be older (8+) due to his energy level and puppy antics.    As part of Fred's $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. At the time of adoption, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Fred, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org.   Interested? show less

I love meeting new people and dogs, and I always greet everyone enthusiastically. Sometimes I jump up to give you a hug, but I have been told not everyone wants a big, huge, happy hug from me; silly I know. Happiness is a rope toy! I am a lovable, happy dog who was found wandering a local Raleigh neighborhood. Now, all I want is a family that will take me on long walks daily and explore new places, meet new people, and learn new things.   I am a foodie and very motivated to train with treats! I recently learned that peanut butter is food for the gods! So let's make sure to have some daily one on one training sessions that are both fun and tasty!   Playing catch in the backyard and playing with toys are some of my favorite pastimes. I love playing tug of war and cuddling on the couch. I’m a goner if you scratch behind my ears! I'm known for my smooth fur, kind almond eyes, and wagging tail that never stops. Oh, in full transparancy, I think pillows are the mortal enemy and will destroy them before I let them get to you, ha ha! So just know, you should keep your eye on me since I do have a love hate relationship with those puffy things!   I'm looking for a loving and caring human to share my life with. Someone who enjoys spending time outdoors or allow me to lie at your feet while you work, taking long walks and giving belly rubs. It would be great if you have a fenced backyard or a nearby park for us to run around in. Also, it would be great if I had a fur buddy to hang out with! So, if you're looking for a loyal companion who will always be by your side, look no further! Let's go on an adventure together!   (DOB 02/20/2020) As part of George's $300 adoption fee, he is 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 George, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

(DOB 1/18/2023). Due to Gin's young age, she has not yet been spayed. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).   This little girl, Gin, is a cocktail mix of personality! She is playful, gentle/sweet, social with people, social with other dogs, loves squeaker toys, loves chew toys, loves stuffed toys, is very energetic, is a little shy/timid, add a dash of curiousness & a splash of mischief in her sassy personality! She will melt your heart like an ice cube on a hot day.   Gin can wiggle her tail so fast her whole hind end is swaying side to side in excitement. She has a cute little smile you will see light up her adorable face! She can also pull out those adorable, can't resist puppy dog eyes as well.   Since Gin is a young puppy, we want another dog for in her furever home for socialization, increase confidence, and to play with; she needs the ability to run and play to burn excess energy. A fenced in yard to romp, run and roll is also needed. Even with a playmate and yard, daily walks, on leash, are also very important for young Gin. She will want to learn how to be well behaved meeting other people and dogs, riding in the car, going to new and different places and enjoying the world beyond the fence on a regular basis. Getting good leash manners "mastered" at young age is much easier and it makes for a much more pleasant experience for people and pup down the road as she gets older, bigger and stronger. This also holds true for other basic training so Gin will have good doggie manners. We encourage positive reinforcement group training for puppies as their minds are sponges at this young age, and it's a great bonding experience for both pup and parent!   Gin hasn't had an opportunity, yet, to meet kids or cats. Puppies tend to adapt well to their other furry feline siblings when introduced at a young age. Dog savvy cats quickly teach pups their boundaries. So if done early, Gin should be fine with kitties. For children, we are looking for families with older children. For children we are looking for families with older children (8+ yrs). Young kids and toddlers aren't the best fit as Gin is learing bite inhibition, is teething, potty training and needs older more experienced children. We wouldn't want Gin's sharp baby teeth grabbing little ones fingers, toes, etc. Gin is a happy girl and has a personality that just loves everyone she meets. So, if you are ready to meet her, fill out an application today!   As part of Gin's $325 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Gin, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Get lost in the sweet, brown eyes of Ms. Gypsy Rose! Gypsy sometimes has spurts of energy, but she can also be the perfect couch potato to cuddle and watch movies with you! She is so much fun to be around. She loves being outside, running, and chasing her foster siblings.   She has adorable head turns and will certainly make many heads turn as you walk this beauty down the street! Gypsy would thrive most in a home with another dog to play with and to continue to learn socialization skills. She has grown up with cats but will chase them since she thinks they want to play, so a dog-savvy cat family would be fine.   Like all puppies, it is time for teething and learning her boundaries. Because of this, a family with older children will be okay, but Gypsy’s excitement may knock over a tiny tot. Gypsy has very good leash manners when walking alone or with another well-behaved dog to “show her the ropes.” Gypsy responds very well to learning through her foster siblings. In addition, lots of play time with all kinds of different toys, tug of war, and teething toys will be needed to keep her mind and body active. Gypsy loves to play fetch and tug. She also loves to settle down and chew on a bone.   Gypsy Rose is looking for a family/person who understands puppyhood is work and she needs lots of love and will be patient with her as she grows and learns. She is constantly learning and will require gentle, positive reinforcement training and correction as she grows into a young adult. Gypsy is very smart and learns quickly what is expected of her. She loves to make her people happy, but sometimes needs redirection. Like any young adolescent dog, she sometimes needs reminding of her boundaries. Gypsy is working on simple commands. She knows “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” She is working on recall and “stay.” Continued training, at least fifteen minutes each day is necessary for Gypsy to retain her knowledge and continue to learn.   Gypsy is crate trained. She takes her meals and sleeps in her crate at night. A solid fenced yard to run and play is preferred for this little cutie and it should be 4-5ft tall minimum height without gaps. If no fence is available, her new family will need to ensure 4-5 daily outings for walks, play and running around. Gypsy Rose may not be the perfect apartment dog, as she loves to voice her opinion. She has a beautiful bark and knows it very well!   DOB 04/03/2022  As part of Gypsy Rose Lee's $275 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Harley is happy to play to with other pups but, honestly, he really loves to chill on th couch! Looking for a relaxed pup to just hang with that doesn't require a lot of activity then look no further than sweet, handsome, adorable Harley!   This is a big boy with an equally big smile!  He loves being with his people and spending some good quality time couch chillin'.  He is quite couch potato and happy to just chill out and watch TV, read a book, or take a nice nap with you.  Harley has a very good personality, he loves attention and will enjoy being with you. He makes a great loyal friend!  He is house trained as long as his family takes him out regularly.   He has good leash manners and walks easily without pulling you around.  He also loves car rides and going for a road trip, so pack him up with you and GO!  He does have a bit of separtion anxiety so having a home with people who either work from home, and/or are home more often than not, is the kind of family Harley is looking for. We haven't had an opportunity to have Harley meet really small children, so we are unsure about them at this time.  Harley definitely wants another friendly dog in the home for his confidence.  He loves everyone he meets!!  This handsome with the cutest little nub of a tail and his whole hind end wiggles when he is happy!  He does NOT require a fence because he is happy to hang out inside with you.  He could be a good apartment, condo or townhome pup as long as his family took him out a several times a day for a good walk and potty breaks.  Harley's DOB is 06/01/2013, and he is a 67lb. male, Lab/Hound mix. As part of Harley's $250 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

(DOB 07/21/2020)  This girl is a pure delight who will give lots of kisses!   At just 48 lbs, she’s a perfect size—not too big or too small.  Athletic, super smart, and engaging, she has tons of personality and is so much fun to have around. She loves toys and can quite often make her own fun, but she prefers you join in.    She is a foodie and this makes training easy. She learned to sit on cue in just a few minutes. When it is time to go out for potty, she now knows she has to sit calmly at the door before going out.  She loves to be outdoors and explore all the smells, but she will chase after cats and squirrels in a flash and can easily scale my 5ft wooden fence (with horizontal braces). If her new home has a fence, it will need to be a flat-sided 5ft (or taller) fence or any fencing type fencing that doesn't give footholds for her to use for climbing. No underground fences for her.  If no fence, she will need to be on leash when she is outdoors.   She would do okay as an only dog if her family had a work for home or stay at home parent and she was given lots of opportunities to play with other dogs, but she would do BEST with another playful dog in her new home.  She is house-trained and crate-trained.  Crating when you are away from home is recommended so mischief doesn’t find her while you are gone. With her energy and playfulness, she would do best with kids 10 and older. No cats, please!   As part of Hershey’s $250 adoption fee, she is 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 Hershey, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Kesha will jump right in the car to go with you, so pack her up and take her with you! She is a road trip fanatic and would love to go with you when you head out and about. If you have a passenger in the back, she may even try and snuggle up on your lap some! Plus, once you get to your destination, Kesha will be the hit of anyone you meet. She loves other dogs and people; the word stranger means absolutely nothing to her. She thinks everyone wants to be her bestie upon 1st introduction. Boundaries, what boundaries - she wants to meet you now!!!   She has a lot of happy, young pup energy and wants a good 5ft+ fenced in yard to run around safely. In that yard, Kesha wants at least one playful furry dog friend to run, romp, and roll around with. This will help her burn of her energy. This is a great time to get her out each day for leash walking as well; she needs practice and the early and more consistent you are, the better she will get. Everyone wants a dog that is good on leash so when you go to activities, dinner, the vet, Kesha knows basic commands and how to properly behave. Plus, she is doing well with crate and is already potty trained! WIN!    Make sure you have time each day to spend playing with Kesha and then have some good ole snuggle time! She such a sweetheart and will be happy to share her boundless amount of love with you. Your day will begin and end with smiles, tail wags, and sweetness if you adopt Kesha! Don't you want to meet her??   (DOB 12/06/2021) As part of Kesha $300 adoption fee she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Are you looking for a mature gentleman with a loving and tender heart? This sweet "older" boy, Legend, loves both humans and dogs.  He adapts well to his environment and loves everyone he meets. He gets along with both large and small dogs. He will most definitely need at least one furry sibling in his new home. He still has playful spurts of energy with his foster friends.   At his age he is also happy just chillin' out and getting pets. He is such an amazing, sweet, kind companion!! You will find that he is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. His furry siblings are also his confidence builders. He watches them and follows suit. It is actually very cute.   Very small children may cause Legend to back away at first due to quick movements and loudness, but with patience and practice he should adjust. We recommend children 10+ for Legend.  He is good on a leash on his regular walks and familiar surroundings. If something loud or scary comes by, he will pull away from it. A pocket full of tasty treats can't hurt, so take some with you. He would probably appreciate walking with a furry friend as well. We are looking for a home with a 4ft+ fenced yard, so he can sniff, check out the worlk and play a little but mostely hang out with his furry sibling(s).   Legend does pretty well in the car, but he can use more practice. He is a bit nervous to begin with yet settles in; just a lot of new experiences for this sweet boy to learn about. He would love a patient and kind person to love and work with him each day.   Think of all the benefits you would get from adopting this sweet, gentle soul - house trained, well mannered, loveable, sweet and so much more! He doesn't require being crated as he is well behaved. He will sleep on his doggie bed peacefully. Puppies are cute but if you want a low maintenance dog, you really need to meet LEGEND!   Legend is a male Hound mix and heartworm positive. For this reason and needed treatment, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC). Our rescue will pay for his treatment.   As part of Legend's $300 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

(DOB 10/30/2022). Due to Loki's young age, she has not yet been spayed. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).   Loki, is named after an Asgardian God of mischief (that should tell you a little something about her!). Here is what Loki is lookking for, "I would LOVE to be your dog's playmate & companion. After some playtime, I drop from 60 to 0, so a good spot in the sunshine to take a nap, makes my day. Taking a nap with you is an even bigger bonus, and would be one of my favorite pass times. I would enjoy living with older kids who can take me for long walks." If this sounds like the pup for you, read on...   After sleeping soundly through the night in her crate, Loki likes to start her morning routine with some yummy breakfast, a potty break, and playing outside with big dogs. She loves every dog she has met and will definitely want at least one other furry sibling to play with in her new home. She loves being outside as much as possible to play and run around. Loki will need a home with 4-5ft fenced yard and a little doggie door access would be a cool little benefit. Loki is not good with cats, so she will need a cat free home.    We are already working with her on structured walks as much as weather allows. Getting that leash training in often and early on is the best way to get Loki used to walking nicely on a leash. She is smart girl and catching on well. She already knows basic commands like SIT and DOWN and ready for you to keep teaching her cool, new things.   Like most puppies, TOYS are awesome. You can find Loki playing with any variety of toys available. She loves squeaker toys, chew toys, stuffed toys, and just about anything you will give her to play with; remember to switch it up to keep her interest and continue to burn off her energy daily.   We prefer someone with some puppy experience and that will be home a good part of the day, and/or their work/school schedule is flexible. This way at her young age she isn't crated too long. She is crate and potty trained. Just keep her on a schedule and she is good, good girl.   As part of Loki’s $325 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Loki, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

(DOB 12/03/2022). Due to Luigi’s young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).   Meet the Super Mario Bros gang! The foster family are video game fanatics and aptly named them after their favorite Nintendo characters. "Little" Luigi is just a happy go lucky kid. He does tend to be the snugglest of the boys. He also loves his older (3.5 yrs) furry sibling, and he's Luigi's bestie. His foster mom says he is just the bestest boy!!    He is always excited to play with his litter mates and will need to be adopted into a family with at least one playful and loving furry sibling to play and learn from. Luigi will want a home with a fence so he and his family can run around and play. Children are fine but should be 8+ years so little Luigi won't accidently knock them down and/or use them as one of his chew toys. Speaking of toys, he loves playing with toys, so make sure to have a good variety to mix and match during play time.   His momma is a Plott Hound, and these boys are looking like they will be big dogs so make sure you have a plan for positive reinforcement training you can do each and every day to build basic skills like SIT, DOWN, WAIT, PLACE, LOOK and of course, loose leash walking. Noone wants a big dog with bad manners. Pulling, lunging, jumping or not sitting down nicely when asked is not something his loving and caring family will want Luigi doing when he 70+lbs with other dogs or people. Luigi is a smart and sensative guy and ready to show you how quickly he can catch on when you make learning fun! Taking puppies out and about is great socialization just remember they are young and learning about motion in a car so may get car sick until he gets used to it.   He is very young and not yet crate or potty trained. His new family will need to commit to working on these just like the above training. Someone at home the majority of the time will be needed to be able let him out for regular potty breaks and build consistency and routine.   As part of Luigi's $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. At the time of adoption, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Luigi, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Mack (aka Tux - notice his markings) is a super sweet; gorgeous, stunning, well behaved, ~70+ pounds of love! Half of Mack's Adoption Fee has been SPONSORED by a generous donor, Just $150 to adopt this Handsome Hunk!!   He is good with other dogs, cats and kids!  The trifecta!  He seems to gravitate towards kids and wants to be with them; just make sure the kiddos are older (~10+) becuase of his size.  He wouldn't want to accidently knock down a smaller child with his love and affection.  He was very afraid of his foster family's cats (kind of cute and funny) when he first arrived. He is becoming more interested in them and will chase in play but easily redirected. Mack could be an only dog, but he'd probably be happier with some fun, playful siblings. He does well with other dogs and is submissive even with his larger size. He is going to be an awesome addition to a full house!    Mack would love to be in a home with an active family where he could be outside a lot. He would really, really like a 5ft+ fenced yard to run, zommie, and romp around in!  He likes playing with toys, some good ole tug-o-war (he typically gives up first) and playing with other dogs.  He likes grabbing a stuffie and pulling and tugging on it with his foster furry family members.  Mack likes to use his voice and "chat" with his furry foster siblings...he has cute vocals. He wouldn't be a perfect fit for apartment or condo for these reasons.   Mack is house trained but not really crate trained.  He has selected a favorite chair and a dog bed that he finds much more to his liking. He is well behaved and happy in his home environment.  He would be happy curled up in front of a roaring fire or on the sofa after a good play time. Mack would love someone who works from home/home most of the time, so he could have loads of attention.   Mack loves the car and would be happy with a family that is on the go!  Do you travel and need a companion, do you have a RV and go many places and camp then Mack may be the pup for you!  He loves to go with you and would be a great camping/hiking buddy as he loves to exercise. He does have some seperation anxiety, and will chew things if left alone on ocassion (he is almost never alone) so even more reason to take him with you!  Plus, when you are out and about, he is good on a leash and well behaved.  He is a GEM!    DOB 02/26/2017 male Pit and Border Collie mix. As part of Mack's $300 adoption fee, he is 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 boy, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Mack, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Mia is easy to please and is pretty low maintenance. She’s fairly quiet and doesn’t have to be entertained 24/7. She’s just happy to be next to you. If you are looking for a dog that will be a great companion look into Mia's sweet eyes, and fall head over heels! She sleeps nicely in her kennel and plays in daycare frequently. She loves attention from dogs and people and is a happy, clumsy girl that is always down for a party. Mia has beautiful markings, the cutest freckles on her ears that are velvety soft, and a very soft coat. She is just a gorgeous girl that will definitely turn heads. Mia will do well with furry siblings or an owner that can provide enough attention so could be an only dog. She is also good with children but is be startled by quick/sudden movements. So older, more experienced dog-kiddos are needed for her. She is a little shy at your first (more so with men) meeting but warms up quickly. Other than that, she really loves everyone she meets. Mia has not been cat tested. She is already both house and crate trained and is well behaved in her crate. She enjoys going out for walks and we encourage a couple of nice walks each day. She is good on a leash and continued practice helps make this a great experience for pup and parent. She is learning new things like car rides and is a little nervous at first but settles in nicely on the drive.  If you are looking for a lifetime of unconditional love, Mia wants to meet you! Fill out an application today!   DOB 01/20/2021  As part of Mia's $300 adoption fee she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

(DOB 12/23/2022). Due to Mike Wazowski’s (yes, straight from Monsters Inc.) young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).   If you’re looking for a little goofball of a puppy, Mikey is definitely your man! Mikey, runs funny, trips, rolls around, and is a cute kind of clumsy. He’s the only fluffy puppy from his litter, and he doesn’t look a thing like his mom or littermates, so he’s even odd to them! His fluffy fur is silky soft. You will just "fall" in love with his silly self immediately! Mikey is ALWAYS happy, go-lucky and has a fun, sweet, silly personality. His mom and siblings all have a similar sweet temperament. Mikey is always happy to see people! He will give you the best greetings!   When Mikey gets excited, he has a goofy little pant that sounds like a child’s mischievous laugh. He’s a bit of a low-rider and waddles around with his stubby little legs and pot belly. Mikey will keep you entertained for hours! He’s already learning to be lazy – he will sprawl on the floor in front of the food dish and eat lying down!   If none of this is unique enough, one of poor Mikey’s eyes has been damaged since birth, he has an imperfect eye. Personally, it makes him even more adorable, it makes his sweet face just that much cuter! So Mikey is expected to have only one eye, just like his namesake, Mike Wazowski of Monsters, Inc. He will have whatever medical care the vet recommends;our rescue will pay for his medical care.   Having a full name for him has come in handy – you can address him by his full name when he’s causing trouble! Mikey is a male mixed breed puppy. His mom a Pittie mix, but he certainly doesn’t look anything like a Pittie! He currently has a body shape like a Peekapoo, so he may be mixed with Pekingese or Poodle, but it’s difficult to say. Mikey is a bit of a mystery bag!  You be the judge!   Mikey and his littermates are very smart. They learned right away to sit on command for a treat, and are doing very well with other training. Mikey, in particular, has learned very easily to stay calm to receive his treat, and to take his treat nicely. Mikey and his siblings have been learning bite inhibition, and are doing well with not biting very much, or very hard, but they do still bite sometimes. They are still puppies, and puppies have sharp teeth and can be a bit nippy. For this reason, children that are 8+ years old are better suited as we wouldn't want his sharp little teeth grabbing a little ones fingers and toes. Mikey was around children for a few days and did well with them.   Mikey loves to play with toys – any toy! Squeakers, plushies, chew toys – Mikey loves them all. He enjoys playing tug with his siblings, but he really wants to play tug with you! Puppies love to chew, so Mikey will need a big supply of fun puppy toys. Mikey should also have a least one fun, playful, sweet pup in his new home to to teach him the ropes, help get his puppy energy out and build his confidence.   He has access to a crate and sometimes sleeps there, but he has not yet been officially crate trained. He would love for you to pick him up and hold him, but he does get excited at first, and will wiggle around and nip a bit. He settles quickly and then loves to be pet. He has not yet met other dogs, or kitties, but he’s so happy and excited about everything, so he should adjust easily.   Little Mikey, like all of his siblings, will be fairly easy to house train. They all do the same little "song & dance" when they have to poop, so it will be easy to recognize when they need to go out. Mikey is not yet house trained, but he has done well with learning to use a pee pad. He is very bright, and treat motivated, so he should be easy to house train.   Mikey’s mom is about 50 lbs, so we would normally expect Mikey to be between 50 and 60 lbs. Since Mikey is smaller than his siblings and built very differently, he may end up being much shorter and smaller than a 50 lb dog.   As part of Mike Wazowski’s $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Mike Wazowski, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Are you looking for a super sweet and cuddly dog then Olivia is definitely someone you need to know more about!  She loves everyone she meets including other dogs. Simple said, "She is just a joy to be around!!" We call her Livi for short.   She is house trained, crate trained and very playful. She is a very smart dog and a quick learner. She is not a large dog and would do well with children as long as you watch the younger kids so they are not knocked over due to her energy.    A fenced in yard is not absolutely required for Livi as long as you can commit to several walks each and every day due to her young age and energy level. She does well on the leash, but she is still young and very curious of her surroundings, so she may pull you in a different direction, so being consistent in her leash manners is good to continue.   Livi is heartworm positive, but don't let that stop you. Our rescue will pay for her treatment, and you will just be her healing place. You will never regret the day, she walked into your lives; she is that special! Get your application in today to begin this special journey with Livi.   (06/15/2021) She is 44lb Plott Hound/Bulldog mix. As part of Olivia's $300 adoption fee, she is 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 Olivia, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less
