She is the QUEEN... you live in her kingdom... you will do her bidding and abide by her rules!  She will give you all of the love she has and she really enjoys spending time with her people - ONCE SHE GETS TO KNOW YOU!  More often than not, if you are sitting or lying down she will be close by, preferably using you as a pillow.   Laps really do make nice, warm, cozy napping spots. She is the Queen after all... and wants to be treated as such. She is a playful girl.  She still acts like a kitten when it comes to playing and small toys she can swat around seem to be her favorites. When not playing, she enjoys lounging at the top of her cat tree so she can see everything.  She likes to survey her surroundings and see what is going on. So, really, the best of both worlds = playful and chill!   She needs to make sure everything is as it should be in her little kingdom!   Abby needs to be the only cat in the home--she does not get along with dogs or other cats.  She, and she alone, is QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!   She will be a wonderful companion to the person who will commit to loving her and accept her terms. She does well with adults and should be okay with older children who understand to take things on Abby's time.  A little patience goes a long way with her - she may be a bit shy and timid at the first meeting - but once she gets to know you she will be "all in"!  Until she gets to know you and trusts you... she will be standoffish and likely give you the eye.  If you move too fast for her comfort, she will swat at your hand.  Remember... her kingdom, her rules. Abby is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all shots. For more information and to fill out an application, go to www.pawsforlifenc.org. Foster to adopt option is available. show less

Hi, I'm Addie. My foster family loves me, but I am in the market for a furever home.  With great leash walking skills, house manners & going in my crate on command, I'm a real catch. If you give me a chance,  my luv and devotion will be unwavering.  I recently added kitty tolerant & luv for kids to my resume as well. And of course, I LOVE other puppers. Being on the smaller side & past the puppy phase, I would be a great addition to your family.  You can tell she has just the biggest heart and is full of love to give! She has a sweet personality and everyone that meets her thinks she is an absolute doll.  DOB 04/13/2016, Lab mix. As part of Addie's $300 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 Addie, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org show less

I am very much the personality you would expect of a tuxedo cat: I am super sweet, and I’m also very playful. I like to play and hang out near my humans. I am blind in my left eye, so I’m still trying to figure out how to play and navigate this world without depth perception. I sometimes miss my mark when jumping, but that doesn’t phase me! Watching me get my water drinks is pretty silly, too, as I feel around for the bowl, and I can make a little bit of a mess leaving some water droplets behind. Because I am half blind, even though I do love to wrestle with my kitty friends, I am also totally fine entertaining myself. I love to find good snuggle spots around the house, and I also will try to sleep next to you if you’re working from home or taking a snooze, and there’s room for me. I'm also a little talker and like to chirp about random things. I enjoy coming to the window to say hi when I see my humans coming home from work.   I have been tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia, spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.  Put in your application today at pawsforlifenc.org.  show less

Aspen is a happy and good-natured pup with a beautiful smile. She has the cutest ears that often go in two different directions - one up and one out.  She also has the silkiest, black, shiny coat that sparkles in the sunlight and her golden-brown eyes will "pop" with just the right lighting—makes for very striking good looks.    She is affectionate and gentle, enjoying attention from people of all ages, including children.  She loves attention and getting a daily dose of scratches, pets and belly rubs.  When hanging out with humans, she prefers to be near them but not necessarily on them. She loves relaxing on her dog bed next to her people playing with her favorite toys while her people watch TV.    She also enjoys going on long walks and using her nose to explore. Her ideal family would encourage her to engage in daily nose work and take her on daily strolls. She is good on a leash but will pull if she sees something exciting like a bunny, cat or squirrel scurry by.  She is completely content being left alone as long as she has these daily mental and physical outlets.    Aspen is perfectly fine being the only dog in the household but doesn’t need to be.  She can be choosy about her doggie friends though, so good/slow introductions are key for her to adjust to different energy levels and personalities.     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

My name is Bach,  I am smaller than my brothers and sister but can eat twice as much.  I like to think that I am more lean than skinny and I creep around and jump right out on Dwight and Dumpling’s heads.  I run to greet my foster mom at the door every time she comes in and she laughs because she says I look like I am skipping.  I don’t know what skipping is but I do like to rub her ankles and purr.  I also  keep her from getting  lonely while she works by sleeping in her chair behind her; it’s warm and cozy but best of all, she swivels the chair when she is typing so that makes me sleepy.  I do love to cuddle with my brothers and sisters after a good snack and will also try to cuddle with the dogs, but sometimes they don’t like that. That’s cool, there is always mom’s chair. Bach is up to date on his vaccinations and tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia. His adoption fee includes his neuter surgery, rabies vaccination and micrcochip when he is old enough. Put in your application at pawsforlifenc.org.  Please note, we do not adopt our unaltered kittens to homes beyond a 45 minute drive from our Raleigh vet clinics.  show less

My name is Beaux, my fosters love to call me Beau Biscuit, Beau Berry, & Beaujiggler… but I’d be okay if you just called me YOURS!! :) I'd love to jump in the car with you on any day to grab a Bo Berry Biscuit (or anything for that matter), because I love the car and love being with my peeps!  I’m most excited for that very special ride we take to our new home.   I’m currently living with my foster family; they have 3 dogs that are my bestest friends. I would love to have furry, fun, friendly, brothers & sisters in my fur-ever home, too!!  Not only would I love other pups in my new home, a tall 5-6ft fence would be fantastic!  I love being outside playing, hanging out with or sunbathing with my pack.  I think I would be fine without other pups in the home if my family would make sure to "fawn" all over me and make sure to take me out and about often or maybe even some playtime at a doggy day care.   I have a beautiful voice and love to use it when my family leaves for work each day. I sing "the song of my people" to make sure they find their way back to me.  My foster parents do go off to that thing called work and I am good in my crate.  But I'd be super happy if my new home had someone who was home must of the time.  I am much happier when my peeps are around and get a little bit of anxiety or sadness when they leave me. I am just the best boy and love them so much when they are gone!  If nothing else, you will know I missed you when you are gone, becuase I am very happy when you return.   I would make a good jogging partner if that is something you are into.  After a run, I love to take a good hard nap!   Not only am I handsome (if I do say so myself), I have a great smile, a happy personality, and have a joy for my new life! Don't you want to explore it with me? I am ready to fill your home and heart with lots of love and a wiggly-butt.      I admit, I can be a bit of a door dasher so it's something to be aware of in the house and/or the fenced gates.  For sure, I don't want to leave you, I am just not quite use to that whole thing quite yet so definitely something to know and keep me safe.   (DOB 7/31/2019) As part of Beaux’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 boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Beaux, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Betsy is all personality!! She is ethusiastic about people, places, and things! She is super friendly and loves attention. She is active and loves to play. she has a habit of reaching out to get attentin or for more petting if you try to leave her and this could be misunderstood as swatting, so for this reason she probably is not the best pick for young children.Her ideal home would be a large, spacious one with room to run and play, and with lots of attention and playtime (teenagers would be great!).  She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Blue is a big, goofy guy with facial expressions to match his fun and silly personality. He can often be found with a quircky-all-teeth-showing smile, and it's sure to make you smile, too. This big, blued-eyed beauty has the coolest markings that help his amazing eyes just stand out! He also has a very big heart and lots of love to give!   He has a good amount of playful energy so will need a family, home, and yard that gives him lots of opportunities to romp, run and play! He is dog friendly, so if you have a playful pup that can match his size and energy level, Blue could be an awesome addition to your family! He is good with kids but because of his size no small children as he can accidently knock over little ones. He is cat tolerant, so a cat savvy home should be fine.   Blue is also a very good "home security system"; he will let you know when someone arrives. He warms up quickly to strangers; especially those that are kind and friendly.    Blue loves having room to run around in the back yard. You'll need to have time to spend with him daily burning off his energy allotment so he's not bored and doing some hole diggin'. He would also prefer a family that has people home the majority of the time. Mabye Blue is "blue" when his people leave him because he does not seem to love being seperated from his peeps. So if you work from home, schooling from home, or something similar, that would be great. Also, Blue says leave some room on the couch for him; too! It is actually his favorite place to sleep at night. He goes to his crate with a little treat and knows to sit and wait to eat. Sometimes he whines a little while settling into his crate time.   You will fall in love with this big boy and his beautiful blue eyes. He has nothing but love to give. So if you love big dogs, beautiful dogs, playful dogs, happy dogs, energtic dogs, and can't wait to add an awesome and amazing pup to your family, Blue may be the boy for you!    DOB 04/01/2022. As part of Blue’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 boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Blue, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Braxton has a personality as cute as that face of his! He is a very outgoing and engaging young fellow. He loves to play, assist you with your chores, and he is quite the snooperviser. He enjoys a lot of attention. He does get excited and sometimes give love nips to get your attention so we think he would do best with adults or older kids who can keep him busy and active. He would do best as the only cat in the home or with a female cat that can handle his exhuberance. He has not been dog tested. He is neutered, microchipped and current on shots.

He has a beautiful coat and those eyes! Who can resist?  Casper the Friendly Dog, is looking for a forever gig which allows him to show off his smarts, loyalty, goofiness, and stunning good looks!   He’s a smart fellow, too, and learns quickly. He’s fully house and crate-trained and now working on basic obedience and leash manners with which he’s making amazing progress with positive training, consistency, and patience.   Casper lights up every room he enters and has a great, joyous spirit about him. He loves, loves, loves to play – tug-of-war and any kind of ball – fetch and tether ball, too. He has good energy, although not “over-the-top” and some solid play and run time in the back yard with a long walk or chasing a laser light will get him ready to snuggle with you on the couch and watch TV before he retires to his crate. He sleeps in his crate all night very well but loves to sleep with his human, too, if he gets the chance. He goes into “baby mode” at night and just wants to snuggle and be held.   Casper needs some specific things in a forever home to be safe and happy: an active owner with good dog experience who has the time and patience to spend training a young, strong dog; experience in training using positive techniques; a fenced yard where he can get his play on; to be the only dog would be ideal; and, while his foster parent is a mom, he really responds well to men, so it would be ideal to have a man in the home that would spend time with him and treat him well. He is young and had a hard start in life, so needs love and patience to help him evolve into a perfect dog!   It would be best for Casper to avoid homes with: 1) people of elderly age or children less than 10-12 years old due to his strength and energy level; 2) apartment/condo/close house living – due to his energy and he can be vocal if he sees/hears unusual or new things or noises. (He’s a very good watch dog.)  3) home with cats or other small animals, including small dogs, in the home because he will definitely chase and try to catch them. He does resource guard food, toys, and his crate with other dogs, so just keep that in mind.  He has no guarding with humans at all, over anything. He does best with female dogs of his own size who are confident and who have good doggy social skills, but constant supervision is a must when he’s with other dogs, particularly at first.   DOB 01/07/2022, male Hound/Husky mix.  Of importance, too, he has no signs of being deaf, which can be genetically present in white dogs with blue eyes. Casper is adorable and weighing in at around 48 pounds. As part of Casper's $250 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
