My story

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

(05/07/2021)  



Meet Esco: Your Future Best Friend with a Playful Spirit and a Heart Full of Love!



Introducing Esco, a 3-year-old Schnauzer mix with a sweet, playful personality and a love for all things fun! Esco is a perfect blend of puppy energy and laid-back naps, making him a fantastic companion for active days and quiet evenings alike.



 



What Makes Esco Special:
Esco has a lively spirit and is always up for an adventure, whether it’s running around in the backyard or playing fetch with his favorite Shark stuffy (which he insists on bringing to bed every night). He loves his walks and exploring the neighborhood, though he’s still mastering his leash manners. With some patience and training, he’ll be a fantastic walking buddy!



 



Home Sweet Home:
Esco is happiest in a home with a securely fenced-in yard where he can run and play freely. He’d thrive in a family where people are home most of the time since he loves being close to his humans throughout the day. At night, he wants to sleep in bed with his people, where he feels safe and loved. Crates aren’t his thing, but that’s okay—he’s house-trained and sleeps soundly through the night.



 



Furry Friends & Family:
Esco currently lives with cats and enjoys having playful interactions with them. While he doesn’t live with other dogs full-time, he has spent time with other dogs when his foster family was away on vacation. He had a great time playing with them but seems to prefer dogs his size, as he can be reactive towards larger dogs.



 



Unique Quirks & Charms:
Esco has some adorable quirks: he can be a bit loud at times, especially when he’s excited, and he doesn’t always appreciate the big, noisy vacuum cleaner (though he’s surprisingly okay with robot vacuums). He can also get reactive to critters like squirrels, birds, and bunnies, so a watchful eye is necessary when he’s outside. Esco’s coat needs brushing a couple of times a week to keep it in top shape, even if he’s not always a fan of the grooming process.



 



Why Esco Will Steal Your Heart:
Esco adores snuggles, playing with his toys, and being wherever his people are. His loving and loyal nature, paired with his fun-loving energy, makes him a joy to have around. If you’re looking for a dog who will shower you with affection, make you laugh with his antics, and be your constant companion, Esco is ready to be your loyal sidekick.



 



The Perfect Match for Esco:
Esco would be happiest in a home where he’s not left alone for long periods, has a fenced-in yard to play in, and has other friendly animals (playful cats or dogs his size or smaller) to keep him company. His future family should be ready for plenty of love, playtime, and lots of snuggles!



Think you might be the perfect match for Esco? He can’t wait to meet you and show you how much love and joy he can bring into your life! 



As part of Esco’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Esco, you can fill in an
online application for him 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.
