My story

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

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

Honey requires an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application   The link to our application is in the dogs bio below.    

 

Honey is a beautiful 4-year-old Hound mix girl who weighs 50 pounds.  She is a cuddle-bug who loves to hang with her human!  

Honey is completely housebroken and crate trained! She is very food motivated and has been relatively easy to train.  She willingly goes into her crate with the command "go to kennel".  She sleeps in my bedroom on the bed next to me since she no longer needs to be crated at night. 

Honey's activity level is low to moderate.  A fenced in yard would be a luxury but Honey does very well with leash walking for exercise and potty breaks.  She walks on a loose leash and usually on the right hand side of her human. She does like to weave sometimes, so the human has to pay attention.  If there are distractions around (e.g., other dogs), then Honey needs to walk on a tight leash with treats given to her.  Honey stands politely to get her leash put on with the command "let's get dressed". When we are finished with our walk, to remove the leash her command is "let's get undressed".

Honey lets you know when there are others around.  She will bark when the garbage truck comes by, the mailman delivers the mail and when she hears any other dog barking. We are working on the command "that's enough" to stop her barking and she is learning quickly.

I work from home so Honey is used to having a person around the majority of the time each workday and on weekends. I think Honey would be ok being home alone. I recommend that she be kenneled if left alone at home for many hours in the beginning as she is adjusting/learning to be home alone. 

Honey is friendly but first-time meetings sometimes may require some treats. She would do best in a home with older teenage children who have respect for animals.  She should to be the only dog in the house but would be fine with a cat sibling. 

Honey is a cuddle-bug. She loves attention and will sit with me while I work at home. She is very smart and has learned "sit", "stay" and "come”.  We are working on boundaries and Honey knows that the kitchen is off limits. She also steers clear of the cat food. Honey likes to play with toys and has a wide variety to choose from here. She loves to give her paw to you to show affection. When Honey trusts you, she will lay on her back for belly rubs. We have this routine that we go through every day to show Honey how much she is loved. She loves to hang with her human!  Honey is a truly special pup!  

Applicants must live no further than one hour from Raleigh/Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian /volunteer for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.  We therefore require applicants to live within one hour drive of Raleigh/Cary NC.

EVERY DOG HAS A STORY:

Honey was found as a stray and the shelter was not able to find her family.  BFPA took in Honey and shortly after found out she was pregnant.  She gave birth to 10 puppies but sadly only 7 survived.  Honey took great care of her puppies who have all been adopted.  Now it is Honeys turn to find her forever home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. 

 

Applicants must ideally live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized.  Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.  We therefore prefer applicants to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.  For the right home for Honey, we may consider applicants who live a bit further away.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptions require submission of an application which is processed and and must be approved by our adoption coordinator. Potential adopters then take the animal on a trial (minimum of 2 weeks) before the adoption is finalized. This helps to ensure a good fit between the adopting family and the animal. All animals must be up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and microchipped before the adoption can be finalized. Adoption fee is $225 for dogs, $115 for cats.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Pets can be met during our adoption events (mostly on Saturdays) or by arrangements with the foster family.

More about this rescue

Best Friend Pet Adoption (BFPA) is a no-kill animal rescue organization based in central North Carolina. BFPA has no building, office, or shelter. We are an all-foster network committed to helping dogs and cats in need of homes. Individual donations are our most important source of income as we receive no public funding.

Our purpose is to provide medical assistance, foster homes, and adoption services to previously lost, abandoned, abused, or neglected animals in Wake County, NC and the surrounding counties. Our mission is to educate this disposable society in which we live that every life should be valued and cherished and is directly linked to human responsibility and commitment.

Almost all the animals we rescue require immediate medical attention. BFPA never turns away or euthanizes an animal because of the expense involved in returning them to good health. All our rescued animals are evaluated for temperament, examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, microchipped (if possible) and sterilized, if age appropriate. Cats and dogs receive monthly flea/tick preventative and dogs also receive monthly heartworm preventative.

The most important ingredients we provide to these animals are loving care and a safe haven -- something most of them have never experienced. These cats and dogs live in volunteer foster homes until we find them a loving permanent home, however long it takes. We match these precious beings to a single, couple or family who understand cats and dogs should be full participating members of the family. Our hope is that these animals never have to experience being unloved again.

Since our beginning, BFPA has rescued and placed thousands of cats and dogs into their forever homes.

BFPA was created in 1998 by two Raleigh-area women who had volunteered with other established rescues in the Triangle. Their dedication to help homeless dogs and cats has led to an organization that has grown to over 225 volunteers strong.

BFPA received 501(c)(3) status in 1999.
