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. Honey is completely housebroken and crate trained!   When she needs to be crated, she willingly goes into her crate.  She sleeps in her fosters bedroom since she no longer needs to be crated at night. 

Honey's activity level is low to moderate.  Honey will do best with a fenced yard.   She enjoys her walks but needs to be walked when there are not many dogs to encounter along the way.  She can be dog reactive and needs an experienced dog owner.  Honey would not be a good fit for a first time dog owner.  

Honey lets you know when there are others around.  She will bark to alert her human, so she would not be a good fit in an apartment or other multifamily homes where there would be noise from adjacent homes.  

Honey is used to having a person around the majority of the time. So if her new humans were home most of the time, she will be happy.  She is a cuddle-bug who loves to hang with her human!  

Honey is friendly but first-time meetings sometimes may require some treats. If there are children in the home, they should be 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 loves attention from her people.  When Honey trusts you, she will lay on her back for belly rubs.   She is very smart and has learned many basic commands.  We are working with a trainer to further her training.

Honey likes to play with toys.  She loves to give her paw to you to show affection.  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 taken to a NC shelter. She was microchipped but multiple attempts to contact the owner were ignored and the dog was never reclaimed.  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.
