Story

Edith came to our rescue from a rural shelter where she had suffered from pyometria, an infection of the uterus that is 100% preventable if her previous owner had spayed her before. She has since been spayed, microchipped, is up to date on vaccines and HW-. She is a quiet house guest in her foster home, and enjoys laying on the orthopedic bed. She went to her first adoption event yesterday and enjoyed sitting in a volunteers lap the whole time! She is sweet and would be fine as an only dog, or with another nice chill dog. Please apply for this sweet little lady and give her some love in her senior years. apply.neshamarescue.org

Meet Igor! Don't let his name fool you. This dog is seriously sweet and SERIOUSLY cuddly. He loves to curl up in a bucket dog bed on his human's bed and snooze. When he entered our care he had a gnarly skin and mouth infection. We have treated his skin with medicines and his hair is starting to slowly grow back. We got him a dental as well, and he is feeling better already! He gets along well with other cats an dogs, and would be a great senior buddy to curl up on the couch with.

Story

(DOB 07/15/2021) Fawn is a delightful 27-pound Chihuahua-Whippet mix with a personality as unique as her breed combo! This sweet girl may start off a bit shy, but don’t let that fool you—once she’s comfortable, she’ll melt your heart with her affectionate nature and gentle spirit. Fawn is the ideal companion for someone looking for a sensitive, loving dog who thrives on attention and affection. Her breed mix brings out the best of both worlds: the playful, energetic side of a Chihuahua combined with the sleek elegance and calm demeanor of a Whippet. Fawn loves to be around people, especially kids. In fact, she has a special fondness for little boys and will shower them with hugs, kisses, and all the cuddles they can handle. She also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and absolutely adores cats—making her a great fit for a multi-pet household. When she’s not snuggling up to her favorite humans, Fawn enjoys spending time outdoors, whether it's going for a leisurely walk, chasing after squeaky toys, or just soaking up the sunshine. She’s a fantastic car companion, always up for a road trip or a quick Starbucks run with you. Fawn is also a smart cookie! She knows all the basics—sit, stay, shake—and is a model pup in the house. Not only is she crate-trained, but her impeccable manners mean she’s just as happy being left uncrated as long as she’s with her family. No chewing or destruction here; just a sweet, well-behaved girl who loves to be a part of your everyday life. If you’re looking for a snuggly, intelligent companion who will quickly become the center of your world, Fawn is ready to bring joy and affection into your home! As part of Fawn’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 Fawn, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2163148##

Champ

Chihuahua Jack Russell Terrier

Male, 1 mo

Youngsville, NC

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

(DOB 11/26/2024) Due to Champ’s young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC). In addition, he will be unable to do any meet and greets until he gets his next puppy shot on 1/28/25 - no exceptions. Champ (aka Scrappy Doo), the tiny, turbo-charged 1-pound ball of energy and joy is going to make you smile! This little guy is an absolute dynamo who lives for playtime and snuggles! With his soft, short coat and chihuahua-like looks, Champ is a pint-sized powerhouse of personality who will steal your heart in an instant. He LOVES to play! Whether it's chasing after toys, tugging on bones, or engaging in epic play sessions with his bigger foster sisters (yes, he fearlessly plays with dogs up to 50 pounds!), Champ is always ready to go! Watching him zoom around with his hilarious Scrappy Doo energy will have you laughing all day long. Though he’s not quite ready to conquer the stairs just yet, this little guy’s adventurous spirit shines through, and once he’s big enough, there’s no stopping him! Champ’s fearlessness and zest for life make him an absolute hoot to watch. At his very young age and size he still has a lot to work on; things like potty training, crate trianing, walking on a leash and basic commands so a person/family that is going to be patient and playful with Champ is needed. He’s so small that his foster mom sometimes has to carry him in a carrier to make sure he doesn’t get stepped on—he’s basically a pocket-sized bundle of joy! So a home that will be aware of his tiny size and keep him safe inside and out is of utmost importance. Are you that active home with lots of love to give? This adorable, playful pup will want another playful dog to match his energy and someone who works from home and can give him the attention and socialization he needs to grow into the best little companion. If you’re looking for a pint-sized, hilarious bundle of joy, Champ is your guy! As part of Champ’s $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered. If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Champ, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2276818##

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Kirby is a sweet affectionate little man. He seems to bond closely with "his person, but he isn't a fan of a busy household with lots of visitors. Kirby would make a great companion for adults who spend a lot of time at home and would like a lap dog and napping buddy to keep them company. He might be fine in a home with older/teenage children, but young kids are a bit much for him. He has been fine with both the cat and the dog in his foster home. He is working on being a "house dog and will need owners who will be patient with him and work on teaching him some doggy basics while he gets used to his new home. He's a sweet little guy who will love you forever if you give him the chance.
