Story
River is a smart, housebroken, crate trained, and food motivated approx one year old mix.. His foster home has been working on leash skills and he already knows several basic commands. He would do fantastic with a single young adult or child-free couple who have some experience with dogs already and can continue to build on the foundation they have been working on. He is young and has a lot to learn. River’s ideal home has: A dog his size that will play with him and help him learn doggy social skills, his foster home only has small old pups and he wants them to play so badly. A fenced in yard for zoomies and games of fetch (Eventually he might even learn to bring the ball back!) He’s never attempted to escape the yard but a 6’ tall fence is recommended so he’s never tempted. He can leap clear over the couch… Maybe agility training is in his future! No small kids - he is fostered with several kids, as young as 4 years old, but is very much a puppy at heart does not seem to realize his own size and strength and can still be a bit unpredictable. Lots of durable toys like Kongs and Benebones available. He LOVES to chew on toys but does a really good job only chewing what he’s allowed too. Stuffed animals with squeakers are a blast for him - albeit very short lived!

Story
This guy. He's been through the MOST. He was dragged out of his yard by another dog in a violent fashion, barely making it out alive. Taken to urgent care, he was handed over to animal control after his treatment. He was fighting for his life. Because of what he looked like, no other rescue wanted this guy, but we couldn't let him die after he just fought so hard to live! Luckily, a very knowledgable foster home said she would take him til he healed and work on his medical needs. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and HW-. He is an amazing soul and good boy. We hope you will consider him if your dog needs a dog - he really wants to play with other dogs! Another dog can also be a mentor to him and show him that the world isn't so scary, that there are good people in it! Older kids are fine in a home for Stanley.

Story
Kleo was rescued from the parking lot at a shelter where she was about to be surrendered. She is about 8-9 months old, spayed, up to date on vaccines, HW-, and microchipped. While she is some sort of Great Dane mix, she is currently 45lbs and we don't think she will get too much bigger (maybe top off at 60lbs). She has the prettiest eyes and markings. She gets along great with other dogs and would be good in a home with older children due to her size and tendency to jump. Please apply at apply.neshamarescue.org

Story
(01/23/2022) Pringles has immense love to give to her human friends. She loves kids!  She was shy at first but is now generous with tail wags, jumping around in a circle and random kisses. Are you a family looking for a furry 4-legged family member? Then please consider sweet Pringles! Though her origin story wasn’t one of compassion or care, she relishes in all of the love and attention now! She is so sweet. She is done good with potty training with her foster family; keep her a schedule and she is good to go. She is quiet (haven't heard her bark yet). Pringles is also super smart. With her love of food, she is treat motivated to learn and please her family. Plus, any kind of praise, love and attention go a long way. She will beam with happiness and pride! She really trains fast; her leash walks have gotten so much easier so quickly! She has shown some a little sass at random times to the foster family's dog (also a female) but could be corrected with time, patience, and training. Pringles would probably be best as an only dog. She is also a great sleeper. Pringle loves being with her people and would rather be inside with you than running around outside. For that reason, she does not require a fenced in yard and would be a good choice for apartment or condo living (as mentioned, she is a quite girl, too). She is amazing; she has soooooo much love and affection to give and will shower you with her caring; she deserves the love she gives.  The question that is often asked; "Why Pringles you ask? Was she really named after the chip??" Yep, just like the chips! She had some Pringles at the shelter and was a favorite of the staff, so her nickname was kept. Not only does Pringles love Pringles, she really loves food in general; she loves to eat! She may get closer to the 50 mark as her final weight. As part of Pringles’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. If you have questions about this sweet little girl, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Pringles, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##1950588##

Story
Name / Breed / Age: Sid / Terrier Mix / 1 year old Personality Traits: Friendly, Shy at First, Energetic, Loves the Outdoors, Quiet, Quick Learner Likes / Dislikes: Likes being outside, trail walks, treats, and spending time with family. No dislikes yet! Health and Behavior History: Sid has recovered fully from surgery and is now healthy. He is working on his manners, walks well on a leash, and sleeps through the night without waking anyone up. He is shy with new people but warms up quickly. He gets along well with other dogs in playgroups and could enjoy having a sibling around his size, though he'd also be happy as the only pet. He is up to date on all shots and is neutered! Hello, I’m Sid! I am a handsome 1-year-old 40lb terrier mix. I found myself at PIPS after recovering from surgery but I am all healed and ready to find my forever family! I love to be outside and take trail walks with my Foster mom and walk on a leash without hardly ever pulling. I am working on my manners and work even harder when treats are involved! I would rather be with my family than in a crate but will settle down in my crate after a few minutes when necessary. I sleep through the night without waking my family up and hardly ever bark. I am still young and sometimes have extra energy, but nothing a good walk can’t remedy. I am a little shy when meeting new people but, as long as they greet me slowly, I am their friend in no time. My foster mom thinks I would do better with older children.  I have gotten along with other dogs in playgroups and might like a brother or sister that is around my size, but would be fine having you all to myself. Do I sound like the perfect friend for you? ##2145308##

Story
Name / Breed  / Age: Thea,  American Staffordshire Terrier, 5 yo Personality Traits: Faithful, Loving, A Queen who knows what she wants Likes / Dislikes:  Loves quality time & pets from her humans. Dislikes overly energetic pet friends. Health and behavior history:  **Thea is Heartworm Positive and PIPs will complete her Heartworm treatment. Thea needs to stay on Heartworm prevention and should be tested at minimum annually, or per your vet's recommendation.**  Up to date on vaccines, microchipped and spayed.     Thea is a distinguished lady who is ready to be your new best friend! She loves to be with her people and is always ready for anything from a walk around the neighborhood to cuddle time on the couch with a toy and a few (or many!) scratches behind the ear. Thea has been through quite a bit, much on which we don’t know, but as she has healed and rested, her personality is beginning to shine. She is curious and loves to chomp on both soft stuffies or dig in on a good bone toy. She is a quick learner, and is showing potential to learn new commands. She is great on a lead, not pulling and keeping her attention on who is she with. Thea is heartworm positive, which is not contagious and she is being treated for. Since is she is a lady of refinement, she would likely do best with a lower energy dog companion and would also be fine as your one and only. She currently lives with her foster sister, a 2 year old great dane, and three cat foster siblings. ##2229187##

Say hello to Chester Drawers. Found as a stray, Chester is about ten years old. He has been through a lot, and is partially deaf but it doesn't slow him down. He loves to walk around his foster parents backyard and sniff and smell, but when its time to come in and get head scratches, he is right there with the best of him. Chester has been neutered, gotten a dental and also had a small tumor removed from his chest. He is HW-, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He would love to be in a home with another unassuming dog or even by himself, as long as there are treats and head scratches to be found. Apply at apply.neshamarescue.org
