Story
If you do not already know all of your neighbors, this social butterfly will make sure you do very quickly as her proud paw rent. Meet Layla. Layla is a two year old, medium energy Great Pyrenees mix who weighs about 50 pounds fully grown. She has the softest coat you can imagine, the kind you cannot stop petting, which works out perfectly because Layla is a certified belly rub addict who soaks up every bit of affection. She adores meeting new people, especially kids, and greets everyone like a long lost friend. While she can happily coexist with another calm, easygoing dog, Layla would also love being your one and only. Small animals and cats are more exciting to chase than to cuddle, so she will need a home without them. Layla was found as a stray in the rural foothills of North Carolina, and she is still learning some manners like keeping all four paws on the floor and resisting the temptation of counter surfing. The good news is she is fully potty trained, walks beautifully on leash, and already knows her basic commands including sit, down, and come. With her affectionate nature, joyful spirit, and sweet personality, Layla is ready to bring so much love into a lucky family. Could it be yours? ##2603915##

Story
Poseidon is a 4.5-year-old Great Pyrenees/Husky mix with the perfect blend of gentle loyalty and goofy charm. At about 82 pounds, he’s a big, lovable companion who is equal parts soft fluff and steady calm. Poseidon is an affectionate boy who loves his people and enjoys nothing more than going on walks and being part of the daily routine. Indoors, he’s a low-energy, relaxed guy who is happy to lounge near you and soak up attention. He happily chills on his bed and on the floor; he does not like getting on furniture unless you ask him to. Outdoors, his Great Pyrenees side shines — he loves patrolling the yard and taking in all the sights and smells. A fenced yard isn’t required, but it would absolutely make him feel like he’s living his best life. Poseidon can be briefly vocal when someone comes to the door — he takes his job as “house guardian” seriously — but after a quick alert bark, he’s back to being his chill, friendly self. True to his livestock guardian heritage, he needs slower introductions to strangers. He sheds quite a bit (Pyrenees will be Pyrenees!), but his sweet personality more than makes up for the extra vacuuming. And if you really want to win him over, his favorite treat in the world is a peanut-butter bacon stick. A few things to know: Poseidon is not a fan of nail trims or vet visits. He’ll need an adopter who can help keep him calm beforehand, and he does best with medication or sedation for nail care. With patience and a gentle approach, he does very well. Poseidon would thrive with someone who appreciates a loyal, steady companion — a person or family who understands large-breed dogs and wants a buddy who is affectionate, protective in a healthy way, and easygoing around the house. He would do best in a home with teens or older, as he is big and can be pawsy and mouthy. If you’re looking for a big, loving dog who wants nothing more than to stroll by your side, nap at your feet, and be your loyal companion, Poseidon is ready to be your new best friend.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ronan is a gentle, goofy puppy still figuring out how to manage his long legs and big paws. He’s a sweetheart at his core, but he can be cautious with new people after spending his early puppyhood outdoors with very little human interaction. With patience and kindness, he blossoms — just as he has with his foster family. Ronan will need another confident dog in the home to help show him the ropes and reassure him that his people are safe. He adores his foster humans and canine siblings and will absolutely love his forever family once he’s had time to settle in. Because his mom is a Great Pyrenees, Ronan will need a securely fenced yard attached to the home so he can explore safely. Ronan is up&#226&#128&#145to&#226&#128&#145date on vaccines, will be microchipped before adoption, and will be neutered when age&#226&#128&#145appropriate. If you’re ready to help a tender&#226&#128&#145hearted pup grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be, Ronan may be the perfect match.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 7, 2026, 9:44 pm

Story
Meet Arlo – Your Loyal, Loving Guardian! This majestic Great Pyrenees is the definition of calm, sweet, and gentle. Currently being fostered in a loving home, he’s shown us just how affectionate and well-mannered he can be. He loves cuddling on the couch, lounging around the house, and playing with our two resident dogs – he’s a big fan of furry friends! True to his breed, he has strong guardian instincts and takes his role of protector seriously. You’ll often find him laying by the front door or at the entrances to rooms, always keeping a quiet, watchful eye over the home. Because of this, he does best with slow introductions to new people and situations. He would thrive in a home with a couple or a single woman looking for companionship and a loyal protector. He prefers to be indoors during the hot summer months, but come winter? He’s in his element! Nothing makes him happier than stretching out in the snow and taking it all in – he’s built for the cold and loves it, but he is an Indoor companion. He can get a bit anxious on walks and may need some extra training, patience, and reassurance to help build his confidence in new environments. With the right support, he’ll continue to grow into the secure and well-rounded dog he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal dog who will be both a cuddle buddy and a steadfast guardian, this gentle giant could be the perfect match for you. Breed: Great Pyrenees Age: 2-3 years old Neutered: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Temperament: Calm, affectionate, protective Special Notes: May need additional training to build confidence on walks Ideal Home: Quiet environment with a couple or single adult, preferably with a fenced yard because outside time is awesome.

Story
(DOB 3/26/2024) General is heartworm positive and our rescue will treat him. For this reason, he is adoptable within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC.  Introducing General, a charming pup with a heart of gold! Though he may be a bit shy when first meeting new faces, once he warms up and trusts you, he transforms into a giant teddy bear filled with love and joy. With his exuberant personality and happy-go-lucky demeanor, General is bound to bring endless smiles to your home. This delightful canine enjoys nothing more than belly rubs and gentle pets. He walks well on a leash and is eager to learn even more with the help of his treat-motivated spirit! A quick learner, he thrives on positive reinforcement, making every training session a fun adventure. General keeps his kennel clean and is well-mannered, but he doesn’t like being left alone. He would thrive in a stay-at-home or work-from-home family where he can soak up all the love and attention he craves. He is especially great with kids, though his playful exuberance means he may not realize how big he is, so watch out for those unexpected knocks! One of General's greatest joys is playing with other dogs—he absolutely shines in their company! Therefore, he’ll only be considered for homes with at least one other dog-friendly canine buddy to share his playful spirit and companionship with. While he’s incredibly social, he does have a propensity to roam if given the chance, so a securely fenced yard is necessary for his safety and happiness. General is also a great sharer when it comes to tug toys, but food is his treasure, and he prefers to enjoy his meals solo.  If you’re looking for a sweet and loyal companion who will fill your days with laughter and love, General is the perfect match! Come meet him and see how this gentle giant can steal your heart!  As part of General’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 General, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2297736##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Hi, I'm Lane. I am a four year old girl who has enough energy to power the entire state of NC. I've been at my foster mom's since I was 11 weeks old. I'm really good in my crate during the day while foster mom is at work. I sleep in my crate at night as well. I also express my opinion when I'm crated and something else is happening in the house. I have strong FOMO! I may not look it, but my foster mom.had my DNA tested and I am Great Pyrenees, along with some staffie and some pittie and cattle dog. These long legs like to run lots of zoomies around the yard. They also help me jump like a kangaroo. A high fence may be necessary to contain my excitement. I would do best in an active household, with no small kids and no small animals. I do have a strong herding instinct. My foster mom had a cat that I really like to put in my mouth. I don't think the cat appreciated it very much. But I find it a lot of fun. I don't have to be the only dog in the household, but the other dog should probably be my size or a little larger and most likely a male dog. I seem to get along best with them. No girl drama! I can also be very protective of my stuff - food and toys especially. I don't like sharing them with other dogs. I am also the BEST guard dog - maybe a little too good. I want to alert you that you just let a stranger in the house and I have to go into protector mode. I am still learning that not everyone is trying to sell us solar panels and I don't need to be so mean sounding to foster mom's guests. If you are a dog savvy family that is willing to work with training and help me become the best dog ever, please put in an application. I would love to find my forever home.You can apply to adopt me here: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 30, 2025, 9:23 pm

Story
From what I am told he is Anatolian Shepard mixed with Saint Bernard He is a sweetheart. The adoption place in Colorado said they thought he might have lupus because of a patch of missing hair on his nose. Turns out he scratches his face when he is nervous. After moving to a place without carpet it stopped happening He was originally found abandoned in an office building so he definitely develops separation anxiety. Despite being 140 lbs he thinks he is a lap dog. He is a giant baby. Really good with children and other dogs. Seems to be afraid of cats. But has only had very little exposure. My life fell apart so we are currently living in my car that doesn't work 😂 I'm almost out of money and food He needs space and love.
