My story

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

(DOB 7/23/2022) River would like to gently, slow and smoothly trickle into your life like a gentle stream. She has the kindest eyes that will shine in the sun and melt your heart. She does not have a mean bone in her body!!



River loves soft, plush toys to play with and would love a family to spend time each day playing with her! She will share a big smile, a wiggly tail to show you how much fun she is having with you! River would do well in a home that has someone at home a good amount of the day; she'd make a good work from home partner.



River is docile and unassertive and has a shier personality. She loves her furry foster family members and having another sweet and confident pup in her new home would be the ideal home life for sweet River. She loves her people but does take a little time to warm up; are you the kind of person that would give her a little bit of extra patience so you get the reward of being the love of her life! You won't be dissappointed in her loyalty and the amount of love she has to give!



River needs a home with a fence. She doesn't love walking on a leash and will need time, lots of positive praise and yummy rewards when loud noises and cars zip by her.  She says just take your time and/or go on strolls in quieter places like a trail or the woods. So a good ole fenced in yard to hang out with her loveable family and furry siblings is what River is looking for.



Since River is still learning that her new life will be safe, she can be a flight risk so a family that understands doors need to be watched, monitoring if outside in a fenced area and always walking on leash with a martingale collar are needed for this darling girl to remain safe and secure. She just needs time and patience and you will absolutely fall head over heals for this special, wonderful girl! Give this girl a chance and you won't be disappointed!



As part of River’s $300 adoption fee, she is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.  If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt River, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Review the description of the pet you are interested in to make sure that the information we have fits with your particular needs and desires. In most cases, the information on the website is current and gives the information that we have about the particular pet. The picture of the pet does not tell the whole story.

2. Complete the adoption application at https://pawsforlifenc.org. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the pet you have chosen is a good match for your home.

3. Once the application is submitted we will contact you, your references, and your vet.

4. We require a home visit prior to dog adoptions.

5. If more than one person applies, we will go with the BEST fit. If all things are equal, we go in the order the applications were received.

6. Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement.

7. The adoption fee is $325 for dogs under 6 months, $300 for 6 months and older. The adoption fee is $125 for kittens under 1 year ($225 for 2 kittens), $85 for cats 1 year and older. This fee helps us to provide the necessary medical care and other needs for the pets while in foster care.

8. All Paws For Life NC pets are spayed or neutered if old enough, current on shots, micro chipped, and to our knowledge, in good health before they are adopted out. Puppies under 6 months of age will require a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee and a special puppy spay/neuter agreement. Kittens under 6 months will require a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee. We are all volunteers and receive no monetary compensation for our work with the pets. The adoption fee is used to help defray costs in the rescue and care of the pets.

9. Congratulations! You are on your way to having your new companion. We hope that you and your new companion share a life of love and happiness. We welcome any comments you may wish to give us about your pet at any time.
