FOSTER PARENT COMMENTS: Meet one of the Ice Cream Puppies. Fudge Swirl is around 14 lbs and 8 weeks old. His momma is a mixed breed shepherd who weighs 52 lbs. She is shown in the photos above.
He just had his first vet exam on 12/2 and is now ready to leave him Momma and siblings. Fudge has his bags packed and is ready to explore what life will bring him in his new adoptive home!! Could that home be yours??
Fudge Swirl is very playful and a joy to be around! He loves tug a war, and he loves to chase a ball. He likes to be held and will be a good snuggle bug. Fudge is a typical puppy who enjoys playing with his siblings and gets along well with older dogs and humans. Puppies this young may not be appropriate for very young children since they will play bite and nibble on hands and feet when given the opportunity.
EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Butter Pecan and her Ice Cream Puppies were pulled from a rural shelter. Momma and puppies were found as strays and never reclaimed. The shelter said 2 of the puppies were born before arriving at the shelter and the 3rd puppy was born at the shelter (puppies DOB is 10/6/24). Momma is a shepherd mix that is estimated to be 2 yo and 52lbs. Butter Pecan will also be available for adoption soon.

ADOPTING A YOUNG PUPPY FROM BFPA: Ideally you should live no further than a 30-mile radius from the Triangle area of North Carolina, as you must be close enough for us to meet all the medical procedures we cover before final adoption. We may consider adoptions that within an hours drive IF the the adopter is willing to come to the Raleigh/Cary area for all vet work until the puppy is neutered at around 6 months of age.
We prefer to adopt young puppies to people who have previous experience owning a dog and live in a single family house rather than an apartment, condo or townhome. Puppies can be vocal when left alone and shared walls are sometimes an issue. Any children in the home under 6 years old should have experience living with a dog in their home.
NOTE: Since Fudge Swirl has only had one vaccine, he is still susceptible to diseases. He cannot live in any multifamily dwelling without his own dedicated yard. Any adopter must have their own yard and must keep Fudge only in the home and yard until the second vaccine in early January. He cannot travel over the holiday season.

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.

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.
