(DOB 2/2/2023). Meet Chubs, the adorable and charming white male shepsky puppy with a sparkling personality that will win your heart in seconds. His stunning white fur is complemented by a golden brown hue dusting his back, making him truly unique and eye-catching.   Chubs is a ball of energy and loves nothing more than roughhousing with his siblings, showing off his playful side. He's also a little love bug who enjoys nothing more than cuddling up to humans and giving lots of puppy kisses. With Chubs around, there's never a dull moment - get ready for lots of puppy breath and unconditional luv.   Chubs is going to need a family who's ready to be by his side most of the time - he's looking for a family who works from home or has a flexible schedule, so he never has to spend too much time alone. He also needs a furry companion to share his adventures with, so a home with another dog is the home for him   He's a fast learner and already knows how to sit and is crate tolerant. Chubs enjoys learning new things, so the more you teach him, the more fun he'll have. To ensure he remains happy and healthy, he needs lots of playtime and exercise, preferably in a fenced yard. If a fenced yard isn't possible, his new family must be ready to keep him busy with scheduled positive reinforcement training and plenty of leash walks.    Chubs is a fantastic addition to any family searching for a furry friend who is full of life and bound to bring endless joy and laughter into their lives.   As part of Chubs’ $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.   If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Chubs, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Calling all HOUND LOVERS! If you know, love, and adore all the special traits of a hound, Clarence is ready to meet you!  He loves to be cuddled and kissed, so someone that will hold him and give him lots-o-love is the match we are looking for!  He likes to sleep in bed with us, so be sure you can make room for him!   He also has those traditional hound personality traits which means, he's sensitive and kind but has a little bit of a stubborn streak which is endearing. You know if they get something on their minds, or better yet, in their nose - they just might ignore you just a "little bit."    Clarence is doing well on his leash training and enjoys his daily outings. He has pretty much got the hang of run, walk, jog and different speeds and does a good job keeping the right pace.  He could make a great compainion for your exercise routine. This boy has a lot of young pup energy, and he pretty much can play all day.  He would be happy with a fun, furry, playful sibling or could be just as happy as an only dog as long his family spends lots of time burning off his energy.  He is definitely looking for an active family as he isn't quite ready to be the couch potato, yet!  On the flip side, when working during the day he normally just lay's right next to me. He's such a GREAT companion and what a WONDERFUL personality!   He seems to get super excited with our neighbors that has a son that is 2 years old; Clarence will run to the fence when he sees them and loves to get petted through the fence.  Our neighbors have free roaming chickens, and we have a lot of deer around as well. While Clarence gets a bit excited when he sees them, just telling him 'No' Clarence seems to be easily re-directed. He also lives with several cats; so we think he would be ok with dog savvy kitties.   Clarence is doing well with house training.  He goes potty immediately in the morning and before bed.  We let him out several times a day to "do his business." Even though he is in a fenced yard, we stay out with him; he loves our company!  Clarence is working on basic training and confidence.  Right now he is still crated if no one is home or else he can get into a little mischief.  He is smart and has learned how to get out said crate.  We think he just doesn't love being left a lone so a home that has some family members home the majority of the time is probably the best be for cute Clarence. He does need some training and would need someone that would be able to provide this for him.   Clarence isn't shy about dashing to the door, so a secure home where kids are not coming and going all the time and parents know to be watchful and careful before opening doors, etc. is important.  He wants a fenced yard ~4-5ft tall so he can play all day!  He really needs time to run around off leash and just be a young, playful pup.  It makes him so happy, and it will absolutely brighten your day watching him have the time of his life!   To wrap it up, we love him so much, so for us we want him to go to a home where he can have the same love and care that we provide to him!! He is a very special boy!   (DOB 7/25/2021) As part of Clarence’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 Clarence, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Meet Dakoda, the bundle of energy and joy that will have you smiling from ear to ear! This adorable little guy lives up to his name as he dashes and explores every inch of the yard. Dakoda is a social butterfly, getting along famously with other dogs, kids, and even cats! Though he may be curious about those fascinating feline friends, he hasn't chased them, instead opting to keep a watchful eye on them out of sheer curiosity. Shy around strangers at first, Dakoda quickly warms up with a little love and affection, eager to make new friends and create everlasting bonds. This sweetheart aims to please and possesses the most soulful and sweet eyes that can melt anyone's heart. When it's time for bed, he loves nothing more than to snuggle up as close as possible. Whether it's on the couch, in a chair, or even sharing a sleeping space, Dakoda yearns for that closeness and loves being near his devoted humans. You'll rarely find a dog more enthusiastic about car rides than Dakoda! He wants to be right there with his beloved people, sharing in the adventure.   When it comes to playtime, Dakoda is in his element! He adores chew toys and tennis balls, channeling his energy into playful romps and joyful games. Having a fenced yard is highly recommended, as Dakoda thrives on the freedom to run and play. Another playful pup is a must and children to enjoy the yard with would be an absolute dream for him. However, in the absence of a fenced yard, Dakoda's parents would simply need to ensure he gets plenty of outdoor time and exercise for his daily energy burn. Dakoda is house trained, leashed trained and crate trained.  He doesn’t like being crated, so he would do best in a stay-at-home or work-from-home family. So why wait? Adopt Dakoda, the four-legged ball of energy and love that will bring endless joy and adventure to your life. Prepare to fall head over heels for this little charmer who will light up your world like no other! DOB 05/22/2022. Bulldog mix.

Would your laid back dog like a new furry sibling? Damon would love a home with another dog to romp around in the house or fenced yard. A fence isn't required as long as he gets daily play time and walks. He is great on a leash.    Damon loves to learn new tricks; treats definitely help the motivation. So far he has learned "sit" and "house" (crate) and we are working on "wait" and "lay down." We believe Damon is just super smart and the longer it takes the MORE treats he gets! He is likely saying, "I am smarter than you think I am" the entire time!! Damon would love a nice comfy, fluffy bed because he loves to nap as much as he loves to play. He can be quite the couch potato and enjoys chillin' out while you work, watch TV, or read a book. He is quite the velcro dog in a lot of ways; loves to be with his people; getting love, attention and belly rubs! He really isn't a huge fan of being left alone, so a family that has school or work from home, retired, or a pretty flexible home schedule will be the best fit for snuggle boy Damon. Plus, he loves the car so if you are packing up and can take him with you, double bonus!! He can also be a "sous chef" in the kitchen. If you are cooking, he won't hesitate to be as "helpful" as he can possible be; don't turn your back because he is happy to be a "taste tester"! He gets a long nicely with all the doggies he has met and even does ok with the kitties! Stranger isn't a word Damon understands as he has been friendly with everyone he has met. Damon has not had an opportunity to meet young children yet.   He shares his toys well but can also be know for hogging them up.  Maybe he didn't have a lot of toys in his previous life and is just so happy to have so many options, soft, squeaky, tug-o-war, etc. He loves to take the soft toys and tear them apart. It's a fun and playful "how fast can I get this done" kind of a thing. Pretty sure he is smiling the whole time!   (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. Heartworm tested negative.   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

Meet Everest, a happy, bubbly Pomeranian mix that radiates with love.  His spirit shines through with a bounce in his step, a  bright smile and a wagging tail.   He is a tripod doggie (only 3 legs), but that doesn't slow him down one little bit. Stairs, walks, and outdoor adventures are no challenge for him.  He loves spending time outdoors, exploring the world around him. He's fairly good on a leash, but he can be a bit enthusiastic during walks, which only adds to his charm.  Everest is a friendly companion, getting along well with both cats and dogs, but his true joy lies in the company of his humans. He's a devoted snuggler who craves your affection and would happily spend all day being held, if he could.  He is mostly potty trained, though patience and understanding will be needed as he occasionally has accidents.  He isn't a fan of crates.  The ideal adopter for Everest would be someone without young children in the home and who can be with him most of the time.  He's happiest when he's sleeping beside you on the bed and having free reign of the house, as he truly just wants to be by your side at all times. A secure, fenced-in backyard would be a bonus since he enjoys a bit of exploration.  Everest is a sweet, gentle soul who deserves a loving home where he can enjoy the life he so richly deserves. If you're ready to welcome this loving companion into your life, Everest is waiting for you with open paws. Give him the chance to be your loyal, cuddly friend.   As part of Everest’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 Everest, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less

Grayson may not win a frisbee award, but he’ll win first-place in snuggling every time! If going for a long, peaceful walk and then kicking back and relaxing at home is your idea of a great way to spend time, Grayson is your guy. He’s the perfect combination of playfully, and after a good walk ,some mild play in the back yard, he’s ready to lay on the couch and be with his humans. Grayson is a gentle, extremely sweet bulldog mix who is a little on the shy side but warms up quickly. He’s a very gentle dog who listens well and learns quickly, especially if treats are involved. His greatest joy is to just be near his human, leaning into your legs when sitting on the floor next to you or sitting on the couch. Grayson needs his forever human to spoil him!   He is relatively new to his foster home but so far, he has been good with children, dogs, and cats. He can be a little scared and skittish when it’s really noisy or too many people are jumping or running around, so would probably do best in a home with older children who are dog experienced (only because of his size otherwise is just a big love bug!). He has taken some adventures like going to a soccer game and would love to continue his adventures with a loving family!  He loves playing with other dogs and gets along great with all sizes of dogs.    He is also shy in new situations and needs a calm, gentle human to be with him and help guide him through new things as he develops more confidence. He needs someone who is dog experienced to ensure his safety and ongoing development to become confident and well-trained. He walks great on a leash, is learning to sit and come when called, and sleeps quietly in his crate at night. He is house-trained.   Grayson had a bit of a hard start in life and is just learning how it is to be safe and have enough food. He does resource guards his food with other dogs, so we just feed seperately and everything is fine.  He is not with humans.    If your looking for a dog to add to your family, Grayson checks a lot of great boxes; kid friendly, cat & dog friendly, too. Well behaved and still playful but loves to snuggle. He has beautiful brindle markings that sparkle in the sun. He is ready to begin sharing his love with you!!   (DOB 06/17/2022) As part of Grayson'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 Grayson, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. show less
