My story

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

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

OSCAR requires an application to Best Friend Pet Adoption.  Please submit our dog adoption application now if you are interested in meeting him. The application is at:    https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC  

This lovely little cutie was pulled from a rural shelter by BFPA on what was to be his last day. Oscar is a playful and friendly (maybe 1 to 2-year-old) 30 lb corgi mix dog who is dog and cat-friendly. He currently lives in a hectic home with 4 other dogs a cat, pet chickens, and even pet pigs - nothing fazes Oscar! 

If you are looking for a great all-around best friend or family dog who loves to walk, play, socialize, cuddle, and have belly rubs, Oscar could be your pup!  He enjoys attention, is enthusiastic about life, and has fun in short bursts (no pun intended). 

He was possibly kept as an outside dog in his early life and spent a month in the shelter, so he's re-learning house manners and is already doing great! He sleeps quietly in a crate all night! 

He is currently heartworm positive which is a common condition for stray dogs and dogs that are not cared for properly.  Oscar is not contagious. He is being treated with monthly medication.  His condition is not showing any outward symptoms and he is otherwise a healthy dog. BFPA will provide the ongoing monthly medication until he tests negative for heartworms.  So an adopter will not be responsible for any medical costs involved in treating this condition.  

Please submit an application and be approved to meet Oscar soon!   

 Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Applicants should 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 who live within an hours drive of Cary NC.

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.

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.
