My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tucker’s foster Mom can’t call him a good boy often enough, so she gave him Good-Boy as his middle name. Now everyone can call him that! Tucker’s original adoptive family returned him to JCAPL due to family circumstances. He has no behavior issues and is a very quick learner. He learned to fetch in 5 minutes and several commands on the second or third attempt. He now asks to go out and walks well on a leash. Recently he began to ask to go to bed before 8:00 pm and has done this every night since. As a result, his foster Mom is now going to bed at a more reasonable hour. Tucker likes to make his own bed by arranging his blankets in a certain way. If you cover him completely with one of his blankets including his head, he lays down and stays wrapped like that all night. Tucker also likes to sit with you on the couch. If he wants to get closer, he will sit on your arm or chest, butt-first. If he wants to sleep, he will rest his face against your leg or poke his head behind your back. Tucker is a handsome and fine boy who will bring laughter and silliness into your life. Contact us about meeting him today! Tucker is house trained and crate trained. He is 65lbs and is 3 years old.
Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen? You'll need to start by completing an adoption application, available online at our website: www.jcapl.org. There is no obligation to adopt by completing an application, however, we do recommend submitting an application as soon as you find an animal you are interested in. We review applications in the order they are received. Completed applications can be sent via email to adopt@jcapl.org, faxed to 919-300-5524 or delivered in person by visiting us at one of our adoption events on Saturdays at PetSmart in Garner (White Oak Shopping Center). We will contact you as soon as possible once we receive your application. Thanks for thinking adoption!

We require an Adoption Application to be completed, an interview with a potential adopter, and sometimes home visits are done and vet references checked when possible. If the potential adopter lives in a rental property, we will need verification from the property owner or management that pets are allowed, how many, and any restrictions (breed, size, etc.). An Adoption Agreement and Medical History form are signed. We require a deposit if the animal is pending a spay or neuter appointment, and monitor follow-up to keep the appointment.

Go meet their pets

CATS and KITTENS: Our adoptable cats & kittens are at the Luv-A-Pet Centers at PetSmart, White Oak in Garner and in PetSmart Goldsboro).

Cats can be seen during regular store hours by asking a manager or by appointment with JCAPL. On Saturdays between 10am and 2pm, JCAPL volunteers bring additional cats and kittens to the Luv-A-Pet Center at the Garner location.

We do rotate our cats and kittens regularly so if you see a cat or kitten online, but do not see them at Petsmart, they are most likely taking a break at their foster home. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions about the adoption status of a specific cat or kitten.

DOGS and PUPPIES can be seen at the PetSmart at White Oak Shopping Center from 11:00 am until 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays, or by appointment with individual foster homes.
