Story
Hi friends! My name’s Kal, and I’m a 6-year-old, 67-lb Lab mix with a big ol’ heart and a serious talent for lounging in style! Everyone says I’m the easiest dog ever — and honestly, I think they’re right! I was a total staff favorite at my first shelter, and now the team at the Shelter Pet Adoption Center has fallen head over heels for me too. (What can I say? I’m kinda irresistible!) I’m living the good life in a foster home right now, and I’m doing amazing! I’m crate-trained, house-trained, and I walk like a perfect gentleman on leash. I was found hanging out in a field with another dog, but I already had a microchip, was neutered, heartworm negative, and I even know how to sit and shake! So yeah… it’s pretty clear I used to have someone who loved me — and now I’m ready to find that love again, forever this time. If you think we could be a match made in heaven, email ncteam@austinpetsalive.org or call (704) 266-3647 to meet me! I’ll be waiting (probably on the couch).

Story
Rey is a shy, reserved pup who's been through more than she lets on. She came to us with some unknown wounds-both inside and out-but with time, care, and a lot of love, she's healing beautifully. She arrived along with a neutered, unwounded male, but so far, she prefers to coexist rather than engage in play with another male.Though cautious at first, Rey has a quiet strength that shines through in the little moments: a soft glance, a slow tail wag, the way she leans in just a bit closer each day. She's not one for loud noises or busy places, but in a calm home with a patient heart, she'll flourish.Rey was briefly tested with cats by a volunteer-she's very timid about getting in the car but then rode quietly. Not particularly interested in the cats, she was more focused on exploring the house. It's possible her reduced energy could be a result of her past injuries, so it's best to go slow and supervise her cat interactions in the beginning.In playgroups, Rey is a bit of a timid gal. She's shy and can become shutdown, even in her kennel. However, she perked up around another shy male dog though he wasn't interested in interacting. We tried pairing her with a more playful dog, but it was a bit too much for her, and she became a little squawky. We'll need to find her the "Goldilocks" partner-someone gentle and dainty, who can bring out her quiet confidence without overwhelming her.Rey is looking for someone who understands that healing takes time-and that sometimes, the quietest dogs have the most to say. If you're someone who believes in second chances and finding beauty in the gentle ones, Rey is waiting to meet you.Although she is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $600 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.If you're interested in learning more about Rey, please send an email to front animalcenter@wake.gov with the subject line "Rey 258644" Primary Color: Brown Weight: 56.5 Age: 3yrs 9mths 1wks

Story
Hi. My name is Sam! I'm a mixed-breed labrador who is about 5-1/2 years old, weighs 60.5 pounds, heartworm negative, healthy, and happy as can be. I'm in foster care because my owner got sick and couldn't take care of me anymore, which makes me sad. However I'm full of love for my foster parents and two foster sister dogs, but I don't really like cats because I got scared by one when she hissed at swatted at me. I love playing and being with everyone and enjoy long walks. I'd really love jogging if you're into that. I'm easy-going, a quick learner (I already know 'paw', 'sit' and mostly know 'stay'), and I'm completely house trained.You can trust me if you have to leave home, but I like it better when you're with me. We'll be great friends, I know it. If you're interested in learning more about Sam, please send an email to animalcenter@wake.gov with the subject line "Sam 258322" Primary Color: Tan Weight: 62.5 Age: 6yrs 4mths 0wks

Story
Ozzie is a very smart dog and loves doing tricks for his favorite treats and getting attention, but he also appreciates just chilling near his owners and does well while owners are away on long work shifts. He is Canine Good Citizen Certified and has passed a pre agility class. He loves sniffing on walks, being brushed, and playing tug of war. He is a good listener and has amazing recall. We have Ozzie on a dry food, no chicken diet from Costco. He gets boarded at the kennel when we travel. Ozzie has started guarding his primary owner and food from guests in our home but is fine in public areas. Our home is small and guests visit quite infrequently so it is quite difficult for us to train Ozzie out of the guarding. It took him a little time to develop the guarding in our home so he will be fine initially and with regular visitors. Ozzie is also best as an only pet because he does not like to share toys with other pets, but is fine with other pets otherwise.

Story
Frazier is meant to be a leader! He was the first one to figure out the doggy door ... he's the head of his puppy pack when out scouting out adventures in his foster yard - and was the first of the litter to climb in a lap for pets. He's VERY sweet and happy. Frazier is sleeping through the night and keeps a clean pen at night. He is VERY treat motivated .... and JUST found his bark (which is very cute.)

Story
Meet Stockings—a perfectly wrapped bundle of curiosity, playfulness, and puppy charm. Stockings is bursting with curiosity, playfulness, and puppy joy. She’s always ready to explore her surroundings, pounce on toys, and investigate anything new—classic happy puppy energy with a sweet twist. This little girl is still learning her puppy manners and will need a family committed to continuing her training as she grows to be the best girl she can be. Stockings is currently living with her brother, Clark Griswold, an 8-year-old female black lab, and a 5-year-old human sister—and she does wonderfully with all of them. She’s respectful with the older dog, patient and gentle with the child, and shows a great foundation for being a well-rounded family pup. Don't forget to follow Stockings' foster mom's Instagram page for lots of puppy pictures and videos! @the_wellington_woofs
