My story

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

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

You MUST submit a Best Friend Pet Adoption application to be considered for Linus. The application and additional information can be found at bfpa.org or https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC

Meet one of the Charlie Brown Puppies. Linus will be 12 weeks old the first week in January 2025. Don't you want a puppy for the New Year? He weighs around 17 lbs and might be 55+ when full grown. He is ready to explore what life will bring him in his forever home!! Could that home be yours??

Linus is a typical fun loving puppy. He lives with 4 other dogs and gets along great with all of them. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night in his crate. Linus is doing great with potty training. He will sit for treats.

Linus lives with a cat that he basically ignores. He loves everyone. He is such a mellow, calm puppy. Any family would be lucky to have this puppy!

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: Linus had a rough beginning to life. He along with his 5 siblings and momma were brought into a rural shelter when he was only 2 weeks old. The momma dog was in such poor health, she had to sadly be euthanized. A rescue group took the puppies and bottle fed them until they could were old enough to move into Best Friend Pet Adoption. Linus is in a loving foster home now and is looking forward to a much better life. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.

ADOPTING A YOUNG PUPPY FROM BFPA: Ideally adopters 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 are within an hours drive IF the adopter is willing to come to the Raleigh/Cary area for all medical care until the puppy is neutered at around 6 months of age. Puppies can be vocal when left alone and shared walls are sometimes an issue. So we prefer to place puppies into single family homes.

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. Current adoption fees can be found on our website.

Go meet their pets

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.
