Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. PLEASE NOTE: If you are on PetFinder or other search site, you do NOT need to introduce yourself.  All dogs on our website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered or meet any of our dogs.  The link to our application is in the dogs bio below.    FOSTER COMMENTS: Jack is a handsome guy with a shiny coat and the cutest curved tail. In April, he turned 2 years old.  He is a Labrador Retriever mix who is fully grown and weighs 35 lbs. He is an affectionate dog that loves his people and stuffed animals.  Jack is initially timid with strangers but warms up quickly and is so friendly.  He loves other dogs and wants to play!  He is high energy so the other dog has to be able to deal with that.  He is very interested in cats and wants to play so he is best in a home without cats.  His energy level is alot for young children so he is best in a home with older children.   Jack is not a vocal dog but is excitable when he wants to go outside or be fed and will then bark loudly.  Jack is totally housebroken and crate trained.  He is in his crate when I am not home to supervise and at night to sleep.  He goes in his crate easily and I give him a treat each time he goes in. Jack loves other dogs but I think he would be fine as the only dog in the house.  He loves his people and all their attention. He will greet you with a doggie wiggle butt!   Jack would love a fenced yard to get out his energy, but he does fine on a leash if his adopter can make the commitment to walk him several times a day. Warm up your arm because Jack loves to retrieve a ball!  He loves his soft stuffed toys and will carry them around but will chew the stuffing out if not supervised, he's very "puppy" like.  Jack would be a great family dog, he's a great size, in excellent health and very affectionate.  He learns easily because he is treat motivated. He is ready for his forever home.  Could Jack be a new member of your family?  Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.    Applicants must live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized.  Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.  We therefore require applicants to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.    INTERESTED IN ADOPTING JACK?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All Best Friend Pet Adoption dogs require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application. The link to our application is    https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC.    It can also be found at bfpa.org.    FOSTER COMMENTS: Kala is such a sweet puppy who was born on 6/1/24.  She is a cuddly, friendly puppy.  Her momma, Tiki, is a 3 year old 30 lb rat terrier mix. We feel that Kala will be larger and probably at least 50 lbs when full grown.  Her Dad may have been a lab?    Kala is crate trained and stays in her crate overnight and when we leave the house without any issues.  She is a typical puppy learning lots of new skills.  We are working on potty training and she seems to be learning quickly. She has patterns of behavior that indicate she needs to go out so we are confident she can be housebroken with relative ease.     We have a fenced backyard so we have not started training her on a leash.  I think Kala would be fine with either multiple walks or just playing in a yard in her forever home.   Kala is very friendly with everyone she meets, young and old.   She also gets along great with other dogs. She loves to play with our three dogs.  We don’t have a cat so not sure how she would do with one in the house.   I think Kala would be ok living in an apartment as she is quiet and does not bark when left alone.  She would also be ok if her family worked out of the house and she was left alone or with another dog.   Kala is very friendly and loves to play with both dogs and humans of all ages. When she is not being her playful active self, she loves to take naps with you and snuggle. She has been a joy and the other dogs have enjoyed having a new playmate.   Kala is packing up her toys already and is getting ready for her next adventure in life!   If you're looking for a loving, loyal, and sweet companion who's always up for fun, Kala might just be the pup for you! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143   EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Kala's  mother (Tiki) was rescued from a shelter and we didn't know she was pregnant. Her foster came home and discovered Tiki had a litter of four sweet girls waiting for her.  What a surprise! Maybe you can open your home for one of these lucky puppies. They love dogs and all people.      Puppies may nibble, bite and mouth so may not be appropriate for very young children unless they have had experience around dogs/puppies.    Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.   Applicants for puppies should ideally live 30 minutes from Cary NC (no further than one hour) since Kala must receive medical care in the Cary area. Best Friend Pet Adoption will cover all medical cost for Kala until she is spayed when she is 6 months old.  Kala can start a trial adoption now and the adoption will be finalized after she is spayed.     INTERESTED IN ADOPTING KALA ?

Story
Nova is a four year old, energic and playful dog. She loves the outdoors and is very intelligent, she knows many tricks! She was originally from North Carolina and shipped north where I adopted her from a shelter in Rhode Island. Although she has been a wonderful addition to my family and very much adored, recent medical issues have made her care difficult. Presently she lives in a home with a cat, but I believe since she wants to play constantly, a home without one may be best. She loves hikes and has a lot of off-leash training on trails, though she may need some refreshing on this since it's been a few months since I was able to go out. I will include two large crates, a bowl, food, toys, usual medications (heartworm/tic prevention), records, etc. with the adoption. My hope is to have a few meetings before finding her new forever home. I have time and want to find her the perfect place.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Indy! She's a beautiful 9 month old lab/husky mix who needs to find a new home. For more information about this beautiful dog, please contact her current owner directly at  919-945-6062 or lgubitosi1@gmail.com.    Indy is around 42 lbs, spayed and up to date on all vaccines and heartworm preventative.  She is in good health and loves life!  She is a very excited and friendly dog. Indy gets along well with both cats and dogs as long as you slowly introduce her.  She has been around kids and is very careful with them. She treats them as if they were her own.   Indy is housebroken and crate trained. She is a lab mix so....she has a lot of energy.  Her current home has a fenced in backyard so I would recommend a home that provides that again. Indy also loves daily walks or runs! She would love to find a home with an active person/family.     She would do well as an only dog or a second household pet.  Her favorite things are peanut butter, big bones and the great outdoors. She doesn't like fireworks but doesn't seem to mind thunderstorms. She loves to cuddle after a long day and enjoys being around people!     Shes too smart for her own good and picks up on routines and tricks quickly. Indy loves to learn and would welcome the challenge to learn more tricks and commands.    If you think you can provide the right home for Indy and want more information about this sweet dog,, please contact her current owner at  919-945-6062 or lgubitosi1@gmail.com.   DISCLAIMER: We hope you'll consider adopting INDY who is a courtesy listed dog.  This means that she is not a part of or associated with Best Friend Pet Adoption (BFPA). The bio information listed for her was provided by her owner and not generated or verified by BFPA. Adoption arrangements will be a private arrangement between you and the owner.  As with any dog adoption, BFPA encourages potential adopters to gain as much information as possible before adopting.

Story
This is Mimi but more commonly known as Mia! She is a 9 year old lab/terrier mix with a heart of gold. Mia’s greatest joy in life is derived from being around people. She embodies the quintessential Velcro-dog stereotype, as she loves following her owner to make sure she never misses a thing. She loves cuddles, belly rubs, and sleeping in the bed. Mia also feeds off of being physically active. She’s just as happy to play fetch until your arm gets tired, or going on a walk until you’re exhausted. It’s never Mia who quits, it’s always the human! But when it’s time to settle down, Mia is just as happy curling up and catching some zzz’s.Mia’s greatest challenge is her separation anxiety. She needs a strong, experienced leader who will be with her constantly and provide guidance. When humans are away, she needs to be around another dog, as her greatest fear is being left alone. Mia would love nothing more than a constant companion to love and adore. Her ideal home would be one with a strong, consistent human presence, another dog to keep her company, and a fenced in yard for exercise and play. If you are interested in learning more we would be happy to answer any and all questions.***Please Note: All the available dogs listed on our website are getting spoiled in private foster homes.

Story
Meet Mayo! This sweet boy, with his cute ears and white-and-light-yellow fur, is ready for a loving home. He thrives on companionship, so it's essential that he has another dog to play and cuddle with. Mayo is laid-back when he is near his people and canine buddy but gets anxious when left alone. He's house-trained and crate-trained, though he prefers to have his foster brother nearby in the crate. Mayo gets excited around older kids, but he's easily managed with a "down. He loves exploring the fenced backyard and is looking for a forever family to share his kisses and joy. If you're ready to welcome this adorable pup into your home, please contact Peak Lab Rescue!

Story
Hi there! I'm Ernie, a sweet lab mix around 8 years young, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home! I'm a calm and cozy pup who loves lounging nearby while you work or relax. I've recently discovered my playful side and enjoy spreading out my toys from the toy bin, admiring my "work like a proud artist! I get along great with kids, other dogs, and new people. When we go for walks, I might pull a bit to explore all the interesting scents, but soon I'll settle into a nice trot. Walks are my favorite activity and I'm never ready for them to end! My foster parents leave me home alone (uncrated) and they always return to the house in perfect condition. My hearing isn't the best, so you can sneak up on me without startling me! I had a bit of a rough start, but I'm getting healthier every day and the vet says I'm doing great! I was found a little too thin, so my foster parents have been helping me gain weight. I am scheduled for my neuter at PLR's partner vet in Apex on November 5th. I am heartworm positive, so I will need to go back to PLR's vet in Apex in a couple of weeks for an overnight stay to complete my heartworm treatment. The cost of the neuter and the heartworm treatment can only be covered by Peak Lab Rescue if done at one of their vets in Apex. I may be an older pup, but I have so much love to give! My calm demeanor combined with my playful spirit makes me the perfect addition to any family. If you're looking for a loyal companion-let's meet! I can't wait to find my forever home where I can thrive and share all my cuddles. Could that be with you?

Story
Milo, but loves to be referred to as Mister, is a 2-year-old Black Lab mix. He's a bundle of energy and affection (he loves his toys, especially kong wubbas) he would be the perfect companion for an active household with a yard where he can run and play to his heart's content. Milo is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and heartworm negative. He came to us from a family member who found themselves unable to keep him due to a new baby and long work hours. We welcomed him into our home with open arms to try to better his situation and keep him out of the shelter. After two months, we realized that our two cats weren't adjusting well to his playful nature. Milo was perfectly friendly with the kitties, but unfortunately they have been too scared to come out from our room and we want the best environment for both our cats and Milo. Milo has never met a stranger! He loves making new friends, especially at the dog park, where he gets along great with other dogs. While he hasn't interacted much with kids, he's shown a gentle and friendly disposition toward adults. Milo is housebroken and a big cuddler who enjoys spending time indoors but would thrive with more outdoor space to explore. Though he hasn't received formal obedience training, he walks reasonably well on a leash and just needs a bit of practice to refine his skills. His only quirk is his excitement; he can jump when he gets overly excited. Milo has never shown any aggression and just wants to share his love and playfulness (and cuddles!) Apply today to meet me! I would love to find my furever home where I can run and cuddle soon!
