Say hello to Fedora, a dashing cream-colored Labrador Retriever with a spirit as gentle as his build is strong. Weighing in at 49 pounds, Fedora is on a mission to fill out his frame a bit more, with plenty of treats and meals shared by your side. His curious nature keeps him excited about the world around him, and he is always ready to explore new sights, sounds, and scents.

Will you be the one to tip the scales in his favor and give Fedora the forever home he deserves? *Weekend Host feedback: "Fedora is such a gentle soul and interacted beautifully with other dogs, showing nothing but love and respect. He always slept with at least a paw on me, which melted my heart. He was hard to let go! Fedora will make a wonderful addition to any family. He has so much love to give and will bring endless joy, comfort, and companionship to whoever is lucky enough to welcome him into their home. His sweet nature and affectionate personality will make him a cherished member of any family".

Story
Ranger is ready to ride the range, well probably just stroll the range, with his furever people heading into the sunset! This retriever/lab come hound mix weighs about 35 lbs full grown. He is a handsome sucker with his chonky medium sized body, highlighted white nose and cute black back patches, he is the total package. Ranger has been settling well into the farm as he was nervous at first but has been doing great and has already made a ton of friends, people and dogs alike. He would love to join a home that will show him all things domestic and promises to be your wingman for anything and everything from cleaning the house to lounging in the backyard to taking walks. He is up for it all. Ranger and ready to show you the range of happy that you can feel everyday when he's around! **Volunteer Dog Walker feedback: "He did a great job on the hike. He did pull a little bit during the hike, but he actually did a great job following the dog that was in front of him and kept a good pace without pulling a lot of the time which I was very impressed with". Weekend Host commented: " He loves to cuddle, sleep upside down and eat. He's good with cats" "Ranger had no accidents." "He's also good at independent play." "I didn't use his crate, but rather slept next to him on the sofa." "He's great in the car." Recent Weekend Host added: "Ranger is a wonderful dog! Fit right in with our lab who quickly showed him how things are done." "He seems to be fully house trained. He had no accidents indoors, and slept peacefully all night in our bedroom on his own dog bed - no crate needed." "An easy boy to walk on trails, he doesn't pull and was happy to jog along on an Umstead trail. It seems like he feels safer and more confident in the woods than in the open streets." " He has a friendly disposition who just wants to cuddle with people, play with toys and dogs!"

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE STARTING WEDNESDAY 11/20 *** Marina is a very sweet dog who gave birth to several sweet puppies. She was completely open to all the visitors that came to the house to meet her and her kin. She loves pets and kisses for her and enjoyed the same for her puppies. She loves bones and toys. I often find her playing with a toy, throwing it around and chasing it. She also loves sun bathing in the back yard. She has met multiple children and adults so she is very good with people. Weekend Host commented: "Marina is an absolute sweetie pie! She's the perfect dog to snuggle up with and to keep you company. " "She loved being around my family." "Marina loves cozying up somewhere comfortable!" "Marina is a quiet dog, not whining or barking much. She is very well behaved, not getting into any mischief. She knows the "sit" command and comes when called." "Marina has some room for improvement with leash walking but doesn't pull! She gets excited and very curious to see other people and dogs on walks but was always very polite." "She has no problem while riding along in the car! " "Marina loves playing with toys. She often picks up a toy and throws it up in the air, jumping up after it." "When she first wakes up, she loves belly rubs." "She was nothing but kind, and has a very gentle soul."

Story
(DOB 06/04/2020) Pepper loves to be by your side and doesn't really think being alone is cool. So much so, bathroom privacy doesn't even mean much to her. She'll be happy to scratch at the closed door notifying you of your accidental error in judgement.  Pepper would be fine as an only dog or to fill out a household with other friendly pups to be her siblings. She would definitely do best in a home and not an apartment, condo or townhome...those shared walls may hear her beautiful bark more often than they may like. She actually spends most of her day relaxing in her foster mom's office, sleeping or chewing on an antler or yak chew. This shiny black onyx of a girl is good with all dogs, kiddos and kitties!! She has that easy-loveable personality. She is already house trained, crate trained, good walking on a leash, loves car rides and the list goes on. No fence; no worries...Pepper is happy to hang with her people and be a bit of a couch potato! What more could you really ask for? Her deep appreciation for her human makes you feel truly cherished. She will only ask for the same devotion and affection for her in return. She does have some seperation anxiety and being with her people really makes her happy. You can expect some initial barking when she is left in her crate, so someone who is home a good amont of the time is best for Pepper. She is happy to sleep on her bed or snuggled up in bed with you, so that's a great option. Pepper has some cute wrinkles that make her extra cute. She is new to our rescue and is being treated for some skin condition. She is doing well and her beautiful black, furry body is filling in nicely. We are currently checking on her spay status and she will be spayed before adoption. She is going to be such an amazing companion - her foster mom just loves her dearly! As part of Pepper’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 little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Pepper, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2118344##

Story
(DOB 05/24/2016) I'm day dreaming of a home where I can show you my undying loyalty and love. Will you make my dreams a reality!?!? You won't be disappointed in how sweet, affectionate and loveable I can be! Some people have described me as a  senior, but I still feel young at heart! Although I’ve got some gray hair, my body works fine!! Plus there are tons of other benefits, I'm sweet, mellow and you will definitely see my loyalty shine through. I love cuddles and tummy rubs because they make me feel safe and loved. I promise to be your best friend, your confidant, and your constant companion. I deserve a loving home, and I hope that home is with you! I love long walks where I can sniff around and see what’s happening in the neighborhood and park. My foster mom says I’m “good on the leash”, whatever that means. I try not to pull her, and just be gentle with her. I am happiest when we’re taking a nice walk or laying on the couch with her. When she has to leave me, I just go in my crate and sleep until she comes back. Then, she snuggles with me on the couch and wraps me up in my blankie until I fall asleep. I, also, sleep in my crate at night on a soft bed with my blankie – oh so wonderful because it’s warm, super-soft, and safe. A few zoomies in the back yard is always, fun, too, when I’m feeling frisky. I love love love to lay on the deck and soak up the sunshine when it’s not too hot outside any chance I get. I like watching the neighbors walk by. I’m not “barky” as she calls it, but I do let her know when anyone comes in our yard, it’s the least I can do! For that reason, I'd probably be fine in a condo, apartment or townhome lifestyle as long as is family gets him out for potty breaks every 3-4 hours.  I’m going to meet foster mommy’s cats and some children soon, she just wanted me to get adjusted to her new home first..so more to come about me. I prefer to be the only dog in the home; I just kind of like my own space and time. If you think I sound like the kind of guy for you, let's plan to meet soon!  As part of Halo’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 Halo, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2131279##

Story
(DOB 05/10/2020) Miss Dixie, the belle of the South! She has a smile that is simply contagious. With her adorable head tilt and undeniable charm, she's sure to win your heart. This girl has the sweetest disposition. She is, also, smart and well behaved. She listens very well and will go into her crate when told. Dixie has very nice manners and is considerate of your eating space and doesn’t beg or bother you for any of your food. She isn't pushy or rushed to be let outside and will come inside the house when called. She loves daily walks in the neighborhood and wants a family that enjoys that too.  While Dixie may have a preference for the company of women, she'll soon warm up to any gentleman who knows how to appreciate her strength of character and beauty. Count on her lovely personality unfurling like a magnolia blossom when she's with her favorite people, reveling in their attention and affection. As far as the youngsters go, children under 10 are a bit too much for Dixie and she prefers the calmer, older children.  A true belle, Dixie is the perfect companion for leisurely car rides through the rolling countryside. She'll calmly gaze out the window, taking in the sights and sounds of the world passing by.  When it comes to socializing, our Dixie appears to favor the company of dashing male dogs over the ladies. She's fascinated by their confident demeanor but still maintains her undeniable grace and poise. Her daily play and fun time can consist of chasing tennis balls while smiling and having a good time. She has that infamous hound-y nose and enjoys chasing rabbits and squirrels. If you are expecting (or not expecting) visitors, Dixie is happy to alert you of friends or neighbors stopping by. Once they come in, she is a very willing participant for belly rubs to entertain and charm her guests. So, if you're seeking a furry companion who embodies southern charm, Miss Dixie is the belle for you. Prepare to be bewitched by her irresistible head tilt, captivated by her charm, and enchanted by her company. Welcome this Southern belle into your life and experience the joy only she can provide! As part of Dixie’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.

Story
(DOB 09/08/2022) I'm a cool, calm guy like my namesake. How did I get my name, you ask? As a matter of fact, I was named after the famous painter due to how I found my way into the shelter...covered in paint. But as the original Bob Ross said..."there are no mistakes, just happy accidents" :).  I’m the perfect mix of chill and adventurous. I don’t need a fenced yard—I’m happy to go for walks and explore the world with you! When it’s family time, I’d love to hang out right next to you (but not on top of you, promise). I’m super adaptable, so whether I’m your one and only furkid or sharing the love with other fun-loving 4-legged siblings, I’m happy either way. I like to think of myself as pretty easy-going, flexible, and ready to roll with whatever life throws my way. I’m basically a walking party in dog form! I LOVE people and am good with kids, too (you can call me the official greeter of the universe) and guess what? I also really LOVE other dogs. Seriously, I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like!  I’m on the lookout for my forever family, and if you’re into playful pups who are equal parts cute, smart, and ready to shower you with love, I think we should meet!! Let’s go on some adventures together! I’m still young, so I’ve got a bit of a curious streak, but I promise, if you say "no," I’ll do my best to listen (I’m a quick learner, I swear!). I might occasionally get a little creative with the kitchen counters if you’re not looking (perhaps, I am an aspiring chef?). Also, I am still perfecting my “no teeth” manners, so be aware I might give you a little love nibble here and there. Think of it as his way of showing affection. But don't worry, with a bit of training and a watchful eye, I'll be a total pro in no time! Oh, and by the way, I’ve got a serious thing for toys—especially stuffies… the fluffier, the better!  I’m potty trained, keep my kennel nice and tidy (I’m basically a cleanliness enthusiast). I’m still working on walking nicely on a leash, but I’m a quick learner, so we’ll be strolling like pros in no time! And when it’s time for a car ride, I’m all in and will just hop in, and I’m ready for our next adventure! So, if you’re looking for a fun-loving, go-with-the-flow companion, I think we’d make a great match!

Rehoming Our Beloved Ivy It is with heavy hearts that we are seeking a new, loving home for our dog, Ivy. She is truly a joy—full of life, energy, and an abundance of love for her people. Ivy thrives on interaction, loves being outdoors, and is incredibly smart. She enjoys playing fetch, running around, and simply being a part of the action. When she’s not chasing after a ball or exploring, Ivy adores sitting close by and chewing on her favorite bones. She’s protective of her family and a darling companion in every way. We want Ivy to go to a family that can give her the time, space, and energy she deserves. Ideally, her new home would have: An active lifestyle with plenty of playtime and exercise. A large, fenced yard for her to explore and run. Children or a family dynamic where she can be included and loved. We deeply love Ivy, but we’ve come to realize that we cannot give her the time and care she truly needs to thrive. Our hope is to find a kind, devoted family for her.
