My story

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

Meet Pecan, a delightful and energetic pup who's the canine embodiment of joy! With a playful spirit and inquisitive nature, she’s ready to fill your life with laughter and love!

Pecan is constantly curious about the world around her. Her ideal day involves lots of exploration--she loves going for walks and discovering new places. She’s a bit of a morning pup, often waking up early for a bathroom break and playtime. After some activity, she’ll nap and rest before being ready for more fun.

As a puppy, she’s still learning to focus and can be a little vocal when she hears noises or sees something unfamiliar. But once she meets people or figures out what’s going on, she’s super friendly.

Pecan is a smart girl who already knows Sit, and is working on Wait, Leave It, and Drop It. She rides well in the car and behaves nicely on vet visits. She’s good about going outside for potty breaks on walks, is crate-trained and sleeps there at night, though she prefers to be in the same room with her people. A typical puppy, Pecan is learning not to jump or be too mouthy and is working on her leash manners, as she tends to pull. With consistency and patience, she’s sure to improve quickly!

Pecan would thrive in a home with a secure fenced yard where she could safely run and play. She’d love a family who can give her plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a quiet space to settle in when she needs a break. Though she loves spending time with other dogs, she can be a little dominant. She will do best with a patient canine companion, or as the only pet in a home where she can shine as the main attraction. Pecan is good with older children, but might be a bit much for young kids or for families with small pets.

Apply to adopt Pecan today and let the fun begin!

Adoption Process

  • Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

  • Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

  • You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

  • Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
