My story

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

Tucker is a five-year-old, 65-pound adult lab/pitbull mix, full of affection and “good boy” energy. His foster mom has nothing but good things to say about him! He's a quick learner who already knows some basic commands; and he's learned some important skills like leash walking. He loves playing rope-tug or ball- and disc-fetch (well, he’s 98% on “chase” and maybe 80% on “bring it”). He’s completely house- and crate-trained; he often rests in his open crate. Tucker has a gentle and loyal nature; and he's smart, independent, and playful.
He loves to be included in the family and sit on the couch with you, but he's also content to make his own bed and snuggle up with his favorite blankets. 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. He loves ear rubs and back scritches! If you're looking for a furry friend who will bring laughter and joy into your life, look no further than Tucker. He's an all-around good boy who's just waiting for his forever home.

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 submitted online, or 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’s 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.
