My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.



Hello! My name is Joanie! 

These nice people rescued me from a bad situation. I lived in a hole outside with about 80 other dogs. My life was strictly having puppies and trying to survive. I also was missing a lot of hair. If you want to see what I did look like, go to my last picture. 

I'm much happier now. I have all my hair back. My foster mommy says I am uber sweet but need some confidence. I didn't really know a person until I came here so I can be a little shy. I do need a home with a fenced backyard. Since I am shy, I prefer to have my own space when I go potty or walk around. Don't get me wrong though, my favorite place to be is inside in my crate. 

I like being around my foster parents. I will run from my crate to be with them then run back to my kennel. I will do this until I'm tired. Maybe those are those zoomie things I hear people talking about. 

When I'm not with foster mommy or daddy my favorite past time is destroying toys. I love to take all the stuffing out and show my foster parents how proud I am. I think they want me to be the fastest toy destroyer ever! 

Foster mommy said when I went on the leash to the vet, I did better than she ever expected. I still don't love that place though. They have pointy thingy's there. I think they are called needles. 

My ideal home would be with one or two people that could give me all their love and a fenced in backyard just for me and maybe another doggy friend. Could you be my Pawfect Match?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

♥ The first step is to fill out our adoption application on our website at www.pawfectmatch.org under Adoption Information.

♥ Once we receive your application, the second step will be for our volunteers to check your vet reference and talk with your personal references.

♥ The third step, if your application is approved, is for our volunteers to contact you about scheduling a home check. This is not to see what kind of house you live in or how clean or dirty it is. It is simply to see if the yard size, fencing, etc is compatible with your dog of interest. It also allows other animals in your household as well as children to meet your potential new dog to see if everyone will get along and to make sure this is truly a "pawfect" match!

♥ After all three of these steps are completed, the final step is to sign the adoption contract and make the adoption donation fee of $300.00. This may seem high, but it is actually a bargain! Your new pet will be up to date on the necessary vaccinations required by the age of the dog at time of adoption, spayed or neutered, on heartworm preventative and flea and tick meds, micro-chipped, groomed, and well on his or her way with basic obedience and house training. All of our dogs will be adopted out with a collar and leash, and a PMR tag.

♥ NOTE - If you have "spam protection" turned on for your email account, please set a white filter to allow emails from pawfectmatch@gmail.com to pass. We will NOT respond to spam protection response emails.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer rescue organization devoted to saving dogs from shelters, puppy mills, abusive situations and abondonment in North Carolina. Our members foster, transport and help the rescue efforts with their individual skills, experience, knowledge and expertise, and most importantly, their love of dogs.


At Pawfect Match Rescue we believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance regardless of their breed or age.

We take a different approach to rescue. We don’t try to save the masses; we just save ONE at a time and make them the best dog they can be by the time they find their forever homes.

By that we mean that we take them into our homes where they live amongst us and our pets and are treated as one of the family, not as a foster dog. We accomplish this by limiting our fosters to one or two per household.

Besides the basics of crate training and house training, we teach them basic obedience, we groom them, feed them a high quality dog food, and last but not least, we shower them with LOVE and attention that hopefully teaches them to trust again and realize that life really IS good..

We’ll never be able to save them all, no matter how many we try to pull and foster. So we believe that the one at a time approach with the extra TLC allows us to really KNOW the dogs and be able to match them more precisely with their new families.

This ends up being a win- win situation for all involved.



Pawfect Match is all volunteer and relys soley on adoption donation fees and public support. Most times our adoption donations do not cover our medical expenses.
