Story
Lucy is an adorable Border Collie mix with a great smile! She loves going on long walks and even sits politely when you leash her to go outside. Lucy enjoys traveling and is a great running partner. She loves snuggles and belly rubs. Lucy does well with sleeping on her own, with free access to her crate. She is a good listener, and overall well-behaved other than her jealousy/aggression issues. She is an anxious dog and we have given her calming medications in the past. Lucy was originally owned by a relative that adopted her from a shelter. Our relative could no longer care for her because of how active Lucy is. Our relative had a chihuahua and three other cats that Lucy did well with. From what we have seen in the past, Lucy does well with kids. We have seen that she must warm up to younger men.

Story
Meet Jolene. She is a collie mix who is full of life and just simply adorable. She has masted the art of head tilting, snuggling and winning over most people she meets. Jolene loves to play with toys, and people but shes not sure of other dogs so would need to be in a home without another furry friend. She has lots of energy, so someone who is going to play and work with her. She loves her crate and will often settle in it by herself for a nap. If Jolene sounds like she could be your new best friend, apply at pipsrescue.org/adopt ##1611630##

Story
If you are looking for a handsome young man who is smart, playful and enjoys walks, then you should meet Sawyer! Sawyer is very playful and very smart. He knows how to sit and has enjoyed learning new tricks such as giving his paw, and stay! We are continuing to work on 'lay down', and potty training. He will play with his toys, but he really enjoys cuddling and getting his belly rubbed. He has been given multiple dog puzzles and enjoyed solving how to get his treats out! Sawyer would be a good fit for anyone who has a backyard, he needs space to run around. He also might benefit from someone being home with him; he really enjoys training and interacting with people. As active as Sawyer enjoys being he also has his calm moments where he is happy to lay underneath your desk or take a midday nap in the kitchen. Since Sawyer is a Border Collie, it is important to note he has displayed natural herding behavior. Potential adopters should be aware of this behavior as this might not work for families with younger children. Sawyer is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and is already neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.If you think you might be the perfect match for Sawyer, email his foster dad at jason.lilley00@gmail.com with the subject line "Sawyer."

Story
(DOB 02/26/2017) Mack is good with other dogs, cats and kids! The trifecta! He seems to gravitate towards kids and wants to be with them; just make sure the kiddos are older (~10+) becuase of his size. He wouldn't want to accidently knock down a smaller child with his love and affection. Half of Mack's Adoption Fee has been SPONSORED by a generous donor; just $150 to adopt this Handsome Hunk!! This is super sweet; gorgeous, stunning, well behaved, ~70+ pounds of love is really kinda "afraid" of his foster family's cats when he first arrived (which was really kind of funny!). He is becoming more interested in them and will chase in play but easily redirected. Mack could be an only dog, but he'd probably be happier with some fun, playful siblings. He does well with other dogs and is submissive even with his larger size. He is going to be an awesome addition to a full house!  Mack would love to be in a home with an active family where he could be outside a lot. He would really, really like a 5ft+ fenced yard to run, zommie, and romp around in!  He likes playing with toys, some good ole tug-o-war (he typically gives up first) and playing with other dogs. He likes grabbing a stuffie and pulling and tugging on it with his foster furry family members.  Mack likes to use his voice and "chat" with his furry foster siblings...he has cute vocals. He wouldn't be a perfect fit for apartment or condo for these reasons. Mack is house trained but not really crate trained.  He has selected a favorite chair and a dog bed that he finds much more to his liking. He is well behaved and happy in his home environment.  He would be happy curled up in front of a roaring fire or on the sofa after a good play time. Mack would love someone who works from home/home most of the time, so he could have loads of attention. Mack loves the car and would be happy with a family that is on the go! He does have some seperation anxiety and just loves being with his people. He is definitely looking for someone who a true daily companion; he really isn't interested in hanging out alone all day. Work from home or can take your pup to work with you; then Mack is the paw-fect selection! Plus, when you are out and about, he is good on a leash and well behaved. He is a GEM! As part of Mack's $300 adoption fee, he is 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 boy, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Mack, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##1558926##

Story
Meet the 2 cutest boys you could possibly meet: 5-month-old pups Jasper (black and white) and Chance (white). These two stole the show (and the participant`s hearts) during a hike around Guilford Mackintosh Park. These two are available for adoption at our adoption center. They came to us as lost, so we don`t know a lot of information about them. But they would love to meet you!He recently spent time in a foster home, during which we were told:`Recommendations: This is a super sweet and cuddly dog that would do best in a foster home, particularly one with a yard. After spending time cuddling in bed and enjoying life in a home, we think it would be very stressful for him to be back at the shelter as opposed to a foster home. He desperately needs continued socialization with strangers and other dogs. As he has grown closer to his caregivers, he has grown more fearful of strangers causing him to bark/growl at them after initially presenting as friendly. This seems to be a territorial issue, occurring in areas closest to the home while getting better in areas further from the home, such as a local park. We recommend having him meet new people in a park during a structured encounter. He is starting to play with other dogs and would do well with further interactions under supervision. He is NOT an aggressive dog and will be very loving to others if given the usual puppy socialization opportunities. He has not bitten anyone and is very sweet with his caregivers.Current Training:- He is incredibly intelligent and very food motivated- He responds to “look” in a high-pitched voice on walks, we reward him with a treat and saying “yes” o This helps him to move on when he is refusing to continue walking o He sometimes responds to “come on” o He is usually very redirectable on walks with treats and saying “look”- He has been working on “sit”, “down”, “stay”, and “place” (to go to his dog bed) which he responds to with repetition and treats- He has been working on “quiet” for barking in the home- Will get in a crate if you say “crate” and either hold a treat over the top of the cage or lightly tap the top of the cage o Enjoying meals and special treats in the crate has helped him to become comfortable inside it to the point where he goes to his crate when he sees us preparing his bowl, he loves having toys with peanut butter in there o We were working on closing the crate

Story
Our family adopted Millie when she was about 2 months old. Millie is a sweet girl, but as our family has grown and our dog allergies have worsened, she would benefit from being in a new home with lots of space to run around and where she can get more one on one attention. Millie is extremely intelligent and follows commands well, however, she is an anxious dog. With our growing family, she has become even more anxious with the commotion of having younger kids in the home. Millie does fair with other dogs but can occasionally get rowdy when on the leash and wants to say hi to another dog but feels restricted. She has a lot of love to give, and she would be the perfect companion for someone who is equally energetic!
