My story

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

(DOB 09/27/2022) Clifton, the dog who instantly knew how to make himself at home—and we mean instantly. He’s the kind of dog who walks in and says, “This is my spot now,” and everyone agrees. He’s already become an essential part of the family, and he’s made it his mission to visit the neighbors whenever he can—who can blame him? He’s basically the mayor of the block! He definitely has learned the art of making friends,



 Clifton is one special pup, and if you’re lucky enough to have him around, you’ll quickly learn that he’s got plenty of love and joy to share—with just a touch of sass. Clifton is so sweet and gentle, he’s practically a walking cuddle machine. He’d love to have kids to play with, and he’s got no aggression in him whatsoever—just pure, unfiltered love. Since he’s still got some of that puppy energy, he’d do best with kids over 5, but he’s already a champ with his foster's 5-year-old granddaughter. A fenced yard would be perfect for Clifton to run free and burn off some of that playful energy, but don’t worry—he’s equally content lounging around inside with his family.



He’s also a surprisingly low-shedding pup, so I don’t mind letting him snuggle up on the furniture. Clifton’s not just a smart dog; he’s a lovable one too, and he’s sure to bring joy to any home lucky enough to have him.



Clifton’s a little shy about the throwing motion (we’re talking about you, frisbee) and doesn’t love being pointed at with a stick, but he’s getting better every day. He would rather be out of the crate than in and is good once in the car and settled in. He is actually a nice little companion when you are running a few errands.



At the end of the day, Clifton loves sleeping either on the sofa or right beside me on the bed. He truly is hte sweetest, sweetest dog ever!



As part of Clifton’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 Clifton, 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.
