Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS STARTING FRIDAY 11/22 *** Bettina is shy at first but once she's settled and feels your love she warms up fairly quickly. Bettina has a wonderful heart (as far as her personality is concerned) but her heart must have already done a lot of loving as medically she now has a murmur. She hopes her new family can help her keep track of that. Bettina needs adequate time outside to run around off leash. She's as fast as a rabbit, extremely playful, and loves soaking up the sun. Bettina is a social butterfly who thrives on human interaction and has a gentle, affectionate demeanor with everyone she meets. She's especially fond of snuggling up to her human companions after a long day of play. Bettina is friendly and gets along well with other dogs, making her a great companion for dogs of all sizes. While she enjoys her playtime with her canine friends, she's also comfortable being the only pet, happy to get all of the attention and love. Bettina is currently learning basic commands like "lay down" " house" (this is her crate) and is doing decent with her leash walking skills. She really enjoys being out and hates the fun to end. She is also working on her potty training. Currently, she has a play pen where everything is in once place food, water, her bed, crate and 1 pee pad (we started off with 3). Bettina would do well in a home with older kids (6 and up) who can match her energy level and are comfortable with a playful pup. She also enjoys being around other animals and would likely do well with a calm, cat-friendly feline, though she may need a bit of guidance to refine her manners if she gets too curious. Overall, Bettina is a loving, happy-go-lucky girl with a lot of personality and a lot of love to give. She's ready for a family who enjoys spending time outdoors, playing games, and relaxing with a loyal and affectionate companion. If you're looking for a joyful pup to brighten up your life, Bettina is ready to meet you!

Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS *** Meet Jim, the ultimate snuggle buddy and your soon-to-be best friend! This small Chihuahua mix is as loving as they come, happiest when he's curled up in your lap. Jim is incredibly low-maintenance; all he needs is your love and affection to thrive. He seems to be fully potty trained and crate trained, making him an easy addition to any home. He gets along well with other dogs, calmly strolling by their side, and is such a quiet little guy that you might never hear him bark. His foster mom says that he may be the hardest foster to give up because he's just so darn sweet. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, Jim is the one!

Story
Edith came to our rescue from a rural shelter where she had suffered from pyometria, an infection of the uterus that is 100% preventable if her previous owner had spayed her before. She has since been spayed, microchipped, is up to date on vaccines and HW-. She is a quiet house guest in her foster home, and enjoys laying on the orthopedic bed. She went to her first adoption event yesterday and enjoyed sitting in a volunteers lap the whole time! She is sweet and would be fine as an only dog, or with another nice chill dog. Please apply for this sweet little lady and give her some love in her senior years. apply.neshamarescue.org

Story
(DOB 07/15/2021) Fawn absolutely adores cats and would love some kitty siblings to cozy up to plus, she is looking for a home with a confident dog who can help guide her and help her build her confidence. So if you have a house full, Fawn could be a great addition. She is a little shy with strangers at first, but once she warms up to you, her sweet and loving side shines through! One of Fawn’s favorite things is being outside, whether she's going for walks or just soaking up the sunshine. Fawn enjoys spending time playing and sniffing in the backyard, but she will test the fence so she should not be left unsupervised. If her home has a fence it should be solid or very slender slats. She can be an escape artist so her safety is #1 priority. Fawn is a smart girl and will happily show off her skills by shaking, sitting, and staying on command! She’s ready to learn new tricks if her family is ready to teach them to her! A favorite toy could be one of her rewards because she’s also a fan of soft, squeaky toys! Fawn loves kids too! A quiet home that is also active would be ideal for her. She is up for a hike but is also down to snuggle and watch Netflix with you! She isn't destructive and doesn't require crating, but she's comfortable being crated if needed. Fawn also absolutely loves to sleep in bed with her family, where she can snuggle up and feel safe. Fawn is sensitive and needs some extra reassurance and snuggles during thunderstorms. Maybe in addition to Chi-Cattle Dog we think she may also have some Whippet mixed in.  She weighs about 27 pounds. Whatever she is, she is cute and adorable and ready to make a family very happy with her addition! Aren't you ready to meet her? As part of Fawn’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Fawn, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2163148##

Story
Kirby is a sweet affectionate little man. He seems to bond closely with "his person, but he isn't a fan of a busy household with lots of visitors. Kirby would make a great companion for adults who spend a lot of time at home and would like a lap dog and napping buddy to keep them company. He might be fine in a home with older/teenage children, but young kids are a bit much for him. He has been fine with both the cat and the dog in his foster home. He is working on being a "house dog and will need owners who will be patient with him and work on teaching him some doggy basics while he gets used to his new home. He's a sweet little guy who will love you forever if you give him the chance.

Story
Zea is a senior lady who enjoys cuddling up to her people on the couch, or better yet, right in your lap! She loves her feeding times and will get close any time someone is eating. She does well with the active foster sibling dog in her house. She's done well in her foster home with very active children around. She's already potty trained and loves slow, casual walks so she can smell everything along the way. Zea enjoys spending her days lying in the sunlight or looking out the windows. She's a sweet girl who will love her family with all her heart!

Story
Meet Miss Peggy! This senior chi-weenie gal is full of love and sass. When she's not zooming around playing with toys or dogs, you can find her somewhere sleeping under a blanket. Peggy loves her people and doesn't like to be without them. Ideally, Peggy is looking for someone who works from home since she loves being with her people so much. She's not a fan of being crated and will let you know that. While she's small, Peggy is not a good fit for apartments/shared walls since she can sing the song of her people when she is left alone. She loves to wrestle, chase, and snuggle with other dogs. We strongly prefer that she goes to a home where she can have a canine companion to be besties with. She also loves laying outside in the sunshine, but a fence is not required. She does well on a leash and loves to go on walks. Peggy is house-trained and very good at letting you know when she needs to go out. Younger kids make her a little nervous, so she should go to a home with older kids or no kids. Even though Peggy is a senior, she's quite fit. Her only "issue upon coming to us was her mouth. Years of improper dental care took a toll on her and Peggy had to have 12 teeth removed when she came to Freedom Ride. She will be good as new once she's healed from these extractions. If you and your dog are looking for a new friend, apply to meet Peggy today!

Story
Lily is a sweetheart of a puppy! This little 7-month-old has spurts of puppy energy but is just as sweet as can be. She's happy to sit on your lap, waits patiently for her leash before going out, and is fully potty trained. While she doesn't just run in the crate, she will go with some encouragement and does perfectly well there. She loves playing fetch and squeaking her rubber ducky. Her favorite playing position is sprawled on her back. More than anything, though, this little girl loves to give kisses. And did we mention she has the most adorable little underbite??
