Story
I brought Aries as a Christmas gift for my at the time 14yr old son. I purchased him from a breeder who’s a friend of the family in GA. Aries is considered a pocket pit bull; however he’s closer to an actual pit bull’s size. My son had little time due to sports, school and becoming a teenager (despite our conversation prior to purchasing). The surprise in size led his mother to no longer want to house him. I took him in. Due to changes in work; I will no longer be able to care for him. I’m looking for a loving home for this playful, energetic puppy. Aries is 15 months old.

Story
Canelo is a 3-year-old Pitbull who I've had since he was a puppy, and he has been a big part of my life. I got him from a close friend, and he has grown up with my family, including small kids, so he is gentle and friendly. Canelo is 90 pounds of sweetness and thinks he's a small lap dog! He's well-behaved, loves attention, and enjoys cuddling on the couch. While he's a couch potato for most of the day, he also loves walks, playing with other dogs, and just being part of a loving environment. Unfortunately, due to significant life changes, including working and going to school full time, I can't give him the attention and time he truly deserves. He's an amazing dog, and I want to ensure he goes to a caring and loving home where he'll be happy and well-loved. If you are interested or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to talk with you and see if Canelo could be the perfect fit for you.

Story
Eros is all the puppy energy you could ask for in a fully grown medium sized dog. Sweet, smart and easy to train, this boy loves to play with dogs, cats, and people.He's crate trained and house trained.This little pit mix is the definition of super chewer! He loves to gnaw gnaw gnaw his toys, so teeth-safe durable toys are a must! He will happily take on destuffing a plush toy, though he tends to try to ingest anything he shreds, so supervised destuffing is necessary.Eros LOVES couches! He has shown little interest in sleeping on the bed with his foster siblings/parents. His go-to sleep, nap, and sit place is the couch.Eros would love a dog sibling to play with, and while he likes cats, he can be a bit much, so any feline siblings need to be dog savvy and have places to get up and away from his antics.He is learning leash manners, but will need continued education in this area. He's not aggressive, just impatient and overly excited to gogogo.Adoption fee of $150 includes neuter, microchip, vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing, and heartworm/flea/tick preventionApply here: https://2pawsup.org/applications/adoption-application/November 3, 2024, 1:08 am

Story
Django, a 75lb Pitbull, is 9 years old and displays no behavioral issues. He is well-versed in house training and has received training classes at PetSmart since he was a puppy. Known for his calm demeanor, affectionate nature, and excellent compatibility with kids and other dogs, Django readily welcomes children of all ages and enjoys being in the company of people. He is up to date with all his vaccinations, and his complete medical records and history are accessible at Banfield. As I navigate the complexities of an ongoing high-conflict custody and divorce case, along with the mental strain it entails, I find myself unable to continue caring for this animal. My daily struggles have reached a point where I cannot bear the additional burden on my own well-being. Moreover, impending relocation necessitates parting ways with this pet. Each passing day, the stress intensifies, and I urgently need to have this animal relocated to restore peace and facilitate my progress moving forward.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  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. Please consider this sweet girl today! Here is our application:    https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC Frannie is a sweet and beautiful, Blue Brindle Pittie. She's about 2 years old and weighs around 45-50lbs. She is gentle natured with lots of personality. She's super cute and will give you a silly, full body "giggle" wag! She loves being with her people and is a wonderful companion. Frannie has done well with her crate training and house breaking. She needs to be crated when left home alone (6-7 hours), and as of now she is crated overnight. She's food & toy motivated, eager to please and is learning basic manners. She is gentle with food and waits patiently for her meals. At times, she still acts like a puppy but also likes to chill on a dog bed and entertain herself with a bone or toy. Frannie overall has great leash manners. She can be an alert barker and would do best in a home not an apartment. Although, she goes potty well on leash, she would really enjoy a fenced yard to get her "zoomies" out. She has a moderate energy level and after playtime with her foster siblings, she enjoys exploring the yard and sunbathing on porch or lounging on couch/bed. She also likes to play fetch and is learning to bring back. Frannie would do best with good natured, neutered male dog that could help guide her when she's unsure. She would do OK as a solo dog also as she loves getting attention from her humans. She would do best with older kids (8+). She's good with "dog savvy" cats, but if kitty is shy and runs, the chase may be fun. Slow and appropriate intros are always recommended with kitties. Frannie had an unstable start to life and has some insecurities, but she will open up quickly with treats and sweet talk. She would succeed greatly with an experienced owner that can continue to build her confidence. Please consider adopting (or fostering) this sweet little lady! Check out Frannie's videos below!

Maverick is a 2 year old, male, neutered dog. He is up to date on all vaccines and monthly Simparica trio (heartworm, tick, fleas prevention).

Story
Bell is a very sweet 4-year-old girl who loves nothing more than to run back and forth across a nice big fenced-in yard before laying down in a sunbeam. When at home, she’s a bit like a big cat — she loves to lay near or beside you while keeping mostly to herself and eating lots of treats. She may be the most treat-motivated dog in existence, and learns new tricks very quickly as long as treats are involved. She is a nervous pup during car rides and thunderstorms (calming treats help immensely) and does best in a household with no small children. She plays well with other dogs, but ideally 1-2 at a time, and can get overwhelmed with big crowds like at dog parks. She loves long hikes, long naps, and (surprisingly) even loves going to the vet! All in all, she’s a dog that will do great in a quiet house where she has a little space to herself, especially if that space is on the couch beside you.

Delilah is very much a puppy with a lot of energy! She is still learning manners & can be rough when playing with other dogs. Delilah is crate & potty trained, & can be a bit scared in new situations. Delilah is heartworm positive & not a good fit for young kids or small animals. 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.

Story
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the gorgeous Natasha! A beautiful 4 year old boxer mix dog that life has not treated very well; however, and despite how much she has suffered in her short life, her heart has had the ability to forgive and love people again, especially teenagers. And she proves it by giving you her paw when you get home, wagging her hips and tail at a speed that will surprise you!Tasha loves toys! She enjoys chewing on them and her greatest trophy is to find the squeaker and destroy it! She is also very good at playing fetch, making her an excellent playmate. That is why it is very important for her future family to have a fence yard and a male dogs to play with, considering that she gets along better with our dog Copper than with Maggie.When we are sitting at the table, Tasha will sit next to you and start talking, making sounds that will convince you to give her something from your plate, giving her paw as a thank you.We don't know what has happened in her past, but she gets very nervous when she sees someone running, so you must get her attention using a pet corrector and she will obey you immediately. Tasha also reacts to squirrels and bunnies, so it is recommended to be careful when walking.She is potty trained, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm free and ready to fill your life with pure love and tenderness. If you are strongly interested to give this diamond in the rough a second chance, please write to her foster mom at joshei@hotmail.com.Thank you for reading the story of a baby girl of which it is impossible not to fall in love with!
