Story
(DOB 01/10/2023) Archie has not yet been neutered and is HW positive. Our rescue will provide the vetting for both and until that time will need to be adopted within a 1 hour radius of Wake Forest, NC. Meet Archie, the cutest Maltese mix with a heart full of love and excitement! Archie is a true velcro dog, sticking to his human(s) like glue because he just can't get enough snuggles and attention. Whether it’s lounging on the couch or going for a walk (and he's a good little walking partner), Archie’s all in! Archie is happy hanging out with you wherever you are and is in no need of a fenced yard.  Archie would be the perfect companion for a single person, couple, or family with older children. He doesn't love being left alone so a home where someone is typically home the majority of the time or will take little Archie with them when the go is what he is looking for; he loves a car ride so why not pack this pint-size guy up and take with you! He’s still working on his "stranger danger" phase and needs some time to warm up to new faces. He's housetrained and keeps his crate tidy (but prefers to be with you); his favorite place to sleep is right by your side in the bed—because who wouldn't want a cozy cuddle buddy? So far cute little Archie has been a gem and likes other dogs he has meet, even good with the resident cat, and good with older children; llittle kids are a bit too unpredictable/loud/busy for Archie so he will pass on a home with young tikes. Archie would be ok in a home with or without other friendly pups. Archie can't wait to meet his forever human(s) and start the next chapter of his life full of walks, cuddles, and endless love! As part of Archie’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 Archie, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2282671##

Story
Noah is from a hoarding case in a rural NC county. We got him and three others from that situation and they all took some time to come out of their shells. Noah was the first one of the grouping to be social because his foster family gave him space, time and love. It also helped that the fosters had another dog just like him! So Noah should go to a home with at least one other dog to help him feel comfortable. He is still working on potty training as he is completely afraid to go outside- they are teaching him that it is safe and normal to go outside, but til then he is using potty pads. If you are interested in giving Noah a loving home and plenty of time to adjust, we'd love for you to apply at apply.neshamarescue.org

Story
Beya is a 2 year old, 15 lb. Maltese/Poodle mix. Beya had a very rough start in life and is now learning to trust people and how to be a dog. This sweet girl just needs a lot of time and patience to come out of her shell and trust again. But she is well worth the wait! Once comfortable, Beya will cuddle up next to you and is so snuggly - it's precious to watch! Because of her past, she is still learning a lot of new things like potty-training, how to use a crate, and that leashes aren't so scary. For now, she would do best in a home with a fenced in yard where she can be safe off-leash. Beya will need a calm home where she can be the queen of the castle! She isn't a fan of other animals and can be fearful of new situations. She deserves to have her human family all to herself as she adjusts to life as a beloved member of the family! Beya does have a lot of energy when she gets comfortable and loves to run around and play in her yard. She is still learning about toys - but we think she may love them once she figures them out! Beya can't wait to find her happily ever after and grow up with a family who will cherish her and bring out the best in her! Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We provide transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!January 27, 2025, 10:15 am
