Story
Hey there, my name is Benji. I was surrendered to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me at no fault of my own. My previous owner reported that I am the best boy ever! They say that I do great with kids, love to snuggle, and have lived with dogs in a home before but can be cautious with new dogs. I know many tricks too! All newly adopted pets will need slow, monitored introductions to new people or pets in a home. Visit this page for more information about properly introducing pets.

As a curious pup, I love exploring the world around me and making new friends, both human and canine. I may be a little shy at first, but once I warm up to you, you`ll be showered with kisses and tail wags. So if you`re looking for a loyal and loving companion, I`m your girl. Let`s make some magical memories together!I am full grown at ~40 lbs. How did I get here? Surrendered when my owner was no longer able to care for me. **I have a high grade heart murmer and am currently on medication to help keep me healthy- please speak with an adoption specialist for more details. I am currently living in a foster home - please fill out a survey and select a phone appointment to complete the adoption process. Once that process is complete, your adoption specialist will schedule a time for you to meet me in person!** ~My adoption fee is $120.00.~

Story
(DOB 11/01/2018) Charlie, the bundle of fun and energy that’s ready to bring joy to any home! This playful guy is all about having a good time—whether it’s running through the sprinkler on a hot summer day, tipping over his water bowl just to splash around, or imagining what it would be like to swim (we’re sure he’d love it!). Charlie’s also super smart and knows a lot of commands, making him an eager learner. His cuddles are top-notch, and he’s a master of giving sweet, gentle kisses and deep, loving stares right into your eyes. He’d thrive in a home with a yard, or with an active family who’ll keep him moving if they live in an apartment. He’d make an excellent addition to a family with one or two other dogs, though he’d be just as happy being your one-and-only best buddy. We think he'd do great with kids, too! Charlie is playful, loving, and just plain fun—if you’re looking for a happy, energetic companion, he’s your guy! Charlie has a big personality in a compact size (~40lbs), especially when it comes to his interest in those other furries called cats! If he spots a cat, he’s very interested in giving chase, so be aware when you are out and about. He is also still mastering walking on a leash and still pulls but  working on it. Charlie sleeps in his kennel, and he has a nice cushy bed which he doesn't chew. If you have a fence yard and you let Charlie out to romp, run around, play and goof off, know he loves to dig. Keep him busy otherwise he could get into some mishchief. After a long and lovely romp, he likes to chill out in a big, comfy bed on his cot. Charlie has been good with his foster's female dogs and shows a friendly demeanor toward one of the male dogs. While his previous owner mentioned that he may not get along with all male dogs, it seems he is simply more selective about his canine companions. With the right introductions, Charlie has the potential to form strong bonds with other dogs. He would certainly be happy as an only dog with a family that is fun and full of adventures just like him! As part of Charlie’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 Charlie, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2239684##

Laon

Jindo

Male, 11 mos
Durham, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Laon is a 10-month-old Jindo born in Bukhansan Mountain in South Korea. Both his mother and father are Jindo dogs, and thanks to their genetics, he has grown rapidly and now weighs 18 kilograms. His coat is a charming brown-yellow and his appearance is that of a typical Korean Jindo. He has a lively character, and he loves to play with toys. Since being rescued, he has been raised and socialized with people and is now undergoing obedience training at a training camp. He has strong social skills, and he loves to play with his dog friends of all sizes. He doesn’t have any experience with cats, but given the nature of the Jindo breed, it seems unlikely that he will get along well with cats. Even though he's big, he's still a 10-month-old puppy who likes showing off his active personality. When you get to know him, he's very affectionate and assertive. He couldn’t go on walks very well at first, but now he's training and adjusting very well. He’s not fully potty trained yet but we have been training him to relieve himself on the training camp’s playground without any problems. After adoption, if you take a walk at a fixed time or continue to potty train in an environment with a yard, you should expect good results. Laon is not obsessed with eating, easily shares food with his friends, and does not provoke or bully small dogs. However, it should be noted that he can sometimes seem intense for small dogs because he does not realize how large he is. Like most Jindo dogs, he is loyal to his owner and when he forms a bond with his owner, he is completely devoted and loyal to that person. After adoption, he may need time to adjust to unfamiliar environments and people, but if you give him time to settle in, he will grow into a truly loyal companion. Adopting Laon is highly recommended for anyone who has a deep understanding of Jindo dogs, and we hope that you will help him grow into a wonderful companion through continuous training. Time with Laon will be a special experience.

Soonjin

Jindo Samoyed

Male, 2 yrs
Durham, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Here's what the humans have to say about me: Soonjin is a two-year-old male dog, believed to be a Jindo and Samoyed mix, who was rescued from a shelter just before being euthanized. He has a calm and quiet personality and a beautifully thick and soft coat that adds to his charm. True to the Jindo breed, Soonjin is highly loyal to a single owner. He carries himself with a dignified, gentlemanly demeanor, never engaging in fights or barking excessively. He prefers spending time alone rather than socializing with other dogs. However, he is not overly cautious and once trust is established, he enjoys human touch and allows people to pet him without hesitation. His eating habits are also remarkably composed. Instead of eating hastily, he takes his time savoring his food. His approach to people is equally gentle and careful—rather than rushing up excitedly, he quietly sits nearby, waiting patiently, which perfectly reflects his personality. At the training center, Soonjin follows a routine of going outside three times a day for bathroom breaks, resting quietly on his own, and then returning to his space. He might have some accidents inside at first while he adjusts to a new environment, but with patience and encouragement for outdoor potty training, he will adapt well. In a new home, he may initially feel sensitive to unfamiliar surroundings. It’s important to give him ample time to open up rather than trying to rush the bonding process. During walks, Soonjin displays perfect leash manners, walking calmly without pulling. Soonjin is both loyal and dignified and has an unshakable trust and presence. While he may have the typical sensitivity of a Jindo, once he forms a bond and recognizes his owner, he shows affection and becomes a composed yet loving companion.

Jindo

Durham, NC

Story
Here's what the humans have to say about me: May is a stunning 3-year-old Jindo girl with a perfect balance of beauty, grace, and charm. Rescued just in time from a shelter, she isn’t just pretty—she has a wonderful personality to match! At first, May can be a little cautious and reserved, but once she warms up, she’s full of love and sweet affection. With just a little patience (and maybe a few treats!), she quickly opens up and forms deep bonds. Once she sees you as her person, she will be loyal, loving, and always by your side. May gets along well with other dogs but has a true Jindo spirit—she’s independent and prefers playing with select friends rather than every pup she meets. However, her favorite thing is spending quality time with people. She’s polite on walks, doesn’t pull on the leash, and enjoys peaceful strolls. She is used to a structured routine and will adapt well to a new home with consistency and patience. May is looking for a loving family that understands the devoted and faithful nature of Jindos. If you’re ready to build a trusting bond, she will become the most loyal and affectionate companion you could ever ask for! May is waiting for her forever home, if you think she is the one please contact us NOW
