Story
Good friends are a special gift! Dakota is looking to be someone's best friend as soon as possible! She is a young adolescent retriever mix with a bouncy step and wiggles for days. She weighs about 27 lbs now and may have some more room to grow but still will fall on the smaller side. Since arriving at Saving Grace, she has learned so many new things and shows us just how smart she is! She plays great with lots of other dogs and is a laugh a minute kind of girl. Athletic and ready for action, Dakota's looking for an active lifestyle with lots of time to grow into her adult self. Get your adoption request in for Dakota today! **Volunteer Dog Walker feedback: "She found her stride after a few minutes. She did great and seemed to enjoy herself!! She got along great with the other dogs and never had an issue with anyone. I believe she would enjoy a doggo buddy to walk with, as she did on the hike, when she finds her new family" **Volunteer Dog Walker feedback: "Dakota took a while to warm up to the hike, but once she did she walked with ease and had energy to do more.

Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE STARTING WEDNESDAY 11/20 *** Marina is a very sweet dog who gave birth to several sweet puppies. She was completely open to all the visitors that came to the house to meet her and her kin. She loves pets and kisses for her and enjoyed the same for her puppies. She loves bones and toys. I often find her playing with a toy, throwing it around and chasing it. She also loves sun bathing in the back yard. She has met multiple children and adults so she is very good with people. Weekend Host commented: "Marina is an absolute sweetie pie! She's the perfect dog to snuggle up with and to keep you company. " "She loved being around my family." "Marina loves cozying up somewhere comfortable!" "Marina is a quiet dog, not whining or barking much. She is very well behaved, not getting into any mischief. She knows the "sit" command and comes when called." "Marina has some room for improvement with leash walking but doesn't pull! She gets excited and very curious to see other people and dogs on walks but was always very polite." "She has no problem while riding along in the car! " "Marina loves playing with toys. She often picks up a toy and throws it up in the air, jumping up after it." "When she first wakes up, she loves belly rubs." "She was nothing but kind, and has a very gentle soul." Most recent Weekend Host feedback: "Marina was the perfect little lady while she was a guest at our house. She is potty trained and knows the sit command. She was very easy to get into and out of her harness - she would sit patiently by the door waiting for us to buckle her up. She loved our long walks through the woods, she never tired even on our longest walk. She loves to be outside. After a nice long walk she would come in and play with the toys we had for her. Then it was nap time! She likes to cozy up on the sofa with someone nearby. She never once barked. She is very quiet!" "She did well in the car, is potty trained, slept thru the night in her crate, loves long walks and stuffed animals to play with! She is a sweet girl. She is a little bit shy but her personality came through over the weekend!"

Story
Meet Stickers, a sweet and gentle pup with a heart full of love. This affectionate boy adores curling up on his cozy bed or snuggling close to his favorite people, soaking up all the attention he can get. Quiet and calm, Stickers is a peaceful companion who hasn’t quite found his bark. While he’s still very much a puppy at heart, Stickers isn’t demanding and loves keeping busy with chew toys like bones or sturdy rubber options. He’s still learning what’s off-limits, but with a little guidance, he’s eager to please and quick to catch on. Though he’s not a fan of entering his crate, once inside, Stickers settles down comfortably. He thrives in a relaxed environment where he can lounge nearby or enjoy quality cuddle time. On walks, Stickers is still a bit unsure, as he’s still building confidence on a leash, but with patience and encouragement, he’s sure to become a steady walking partner. If you're looking for a loving, easy going companion who’s as sweet as they come and good with both people and other dogs (cats TBD), Stickers is ready to become your loyal and snuggly friend. He may be a little shy at first, but with time, he’ll be the perfect cuddle buddy you've been searching for! **Volunteer Dog Walker Feedback: "It took Stickers a little time to adjust to waking on a leash but once he did he was a great walker, dog and people friendly, I would say he is the perfect balance between a leisurely and excited walker, no pulling on the leash at all. He is a great dog to walk with and I predict he will be easy to train!"

Story
There once was a dog from Nantucket....so begins the story we all know. This story though features Nantucket...who is a fabulous guy who will fit so many lifestyles and become as near and dear as our childhood nursey rhymes. Nantucket is a black lab mix who is a strapping young man at about 65 lbs full grown. This boy is all of the things we love about labs...friendly, outgoing, active, athletic and always up for a game or down for a nap...he has it all covered. Nantucket has settled into farm life easily and has already joined a group of gal pals (doggo that is) showing he's social with dogs as much as he is people. This guy would love an active lab loving home, lots toys, smooches and schnoozes this year and to finally be part of his own adoption story, whether it rhymes or not!

Story
(DOB 06/04/2020) Pepper loves to be by your side and doesn't really think being alone is cool. So much so, bathroom privacy doesn't even mean much to her. She'll be happy to scratch at the closed door notifying you of your accidental error in judgement.  Pepper would be fine as an only dog or to fill out a household with other friendly pups to be her siblings. She would definitely do best in a home and not an apartment, condo or townhome...those shared walls may hear her beautiful bark more often than they may like. She actually spends most of her day relaxing in her foster mom's office, sleeping or chewing on an antler or yak chew. This shiny black onyx of a girl is good with all dogs, kiddos and kitties!! She has that easy-loveable personality. She is already house trained, crate trained, good walking on a leash, loves car rides and the list goes on. No fence; no worries...Pepper is happy to hang with her people and be a bit of a couch potato! What more could you really ask for? Her deep appreciation for her human makes you feel truly cherished. She will only ask for the same devotion and affection for her in return. She does have some seperation anxiety and being with her people really makes her happy. You can expect some initial barking when she is left in her crate, so someone who is home a good amont of the time is best for Pepper. She is happy to sleep on her bed or snuggled up in bed with you, so that's a great option. Pepper has some cute wrinkles that make her extra cute. She is new to our rescue and is being treated for some skin condition. She is doing well and her beautiful black, furry body is filling in nicely. We are currently checking on her spay status and she will be spayed before adoption. She is going to be such an amazing companion - her foster mom just loves her dearly! As part of Pepper’s $300 adoption fee, he is 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 Pepper, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2118344##

Story
(DOB 05/24/2016) I'm day dreaming of a home where I can show you my undying loyalty and love. Will you make my dreams a reality!?!? You won't be disappointed in how sweet, affectionate and loveable I can be! Some people have described me as a  senior, but I still feel young at heart! Although I’ve got some gray hair, my body works fine!! Plus there are tons of other benefits, I'm sweet, mellow and you will definitely see my loyalty shine through. I love cuddles and tummy rubs because they make me feel safe and loved. I promise to be your best friend, your confidant, and your constant companion. I deserve a loving home, and I hope that home is with you! I love long walks where I can sniff around and see what’s happening in the neighborhood and park. My foster mom says I’m “good on the leash”, whatever that means. I try not to pull her, and just be gentle with her. I am happiest when we’re taking a nice walk or laying on the couch with her. When she has to leave me, I just go in my crate and sleep until she comes back. Then, she snuggles with me on the couch and wraps me up in my blankie until I fall asleep. I, also, sleep in my crate at night on a soft bed with my blankie – oh so wonderful because it’s warm, super-soft, and safe. A few zoomies in the back yard is always, fun, too, when I’m feeling frisky. I love love love to lay on the deck and soak up the sunshine when it’s not too hot outside any chance I get. I like watching the neighbors walk by. I’m not “barky” as she calls it, but I do let her know when anyone comes in our yard, it’s the least I can do! For that reason, I'd probably be fine in a condo, apartment or townhome lifestyle as long as is family gets him out for potty breaks every 3-4 hours.  I’m going to meet foster mommy’s cats and some children soon, she just wanted me to get adjusted to her new home first..so more to come about me. I prefer to be the only dog in the home; I just kind of like my own space and time. If you think I sound like the kind of guy for you, let's plan to meet soon!  As part of Halo’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 Halo, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2131279##

Story
(DOB 05/10/2020) Miss Dixie, the belle of the South! She has a smile that is simply contagious. With her adorable head tilt and undeniable charm, she's sure to win your heart. This girl has the sweetest disposition. She is, also, smart and well behaved. She listens very well and will go into her crate when told. Dixie has very nice manners and is considerate of your eating space and doesn’t beg or bother you for any of your food. She isn't pushy or rushed to be let outside and will come inside the house when called. She loves daily walks in the neighborhood and wants a family that enjoys that too.  While Dixie may have a preference for the company of women, she'll soon warm up to any gentleman who knows how to appreciate her strength of character and beauty. Count on her lovely personality unfurling like a magnolia blossom when she's with her favorite people, reveling in their attention and affection. As far as the youngsters go, children under 10 are a bit too much for Dixie and she prefers the calmer, older children.  A true belle, Dixie is the perfect companion for leisurely car rides through the rolling countryside. She'll calmly gaze out the window, taking in the sights and sounds of the world passing by.  When it comes to socializing, our Dixie appears to favor the company of dashing male dogs over the ladies. She's fascinated by their confident demeanor but still maintains her undeniable grace and poise. Her daily play and fun time can consist of chasing tennis balls while smiling and having a good time. She has that infamous hound-y nose and enjoys chasing rabbits and squirrels. If you are expecting (or not expecting) visitors, Dixie is happy to alert you of friends or neighbors stopping by. Once they come in, she is a very willing participant for belly rubs to entertain and charm her guests. So, if you're seeking a furry companion who embodies southern charm, Miss Dixie is the belle for you. Prepare to be bewitched by her irresistible head tilt, captivated by her charm, and enchanted by her company. Welcome this Southern belle into your life and experience the joy only she can provide! As part of Dixie’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.

Story
(10/11/2021) Are you curious about Stevie Wonder's halo and name? Stevie Wonder got his name because, like his namesake, he cannot see. This sweet boy is completely blind but that does not stop him at all. The wonderful organization, Muffin’s Halo, donated a harness halo to help Stevie acclimate to his new surroundings and use whenever he needs it. OR maybe, just maybe, he has a halo simply because he is an angel!?!? He loves the companionship of people and dogs so a fur-ever home with a friendly furry sibling to hang out with and at least one person home most of the time, is the kind of family Stevie is LOOKING for!! He really loves having other dogs and people around. He is a great buddy to have brighten your days.  This boy is a fun and very happy pup and will need a family that is patient and accommodating to watch over him and keep him out of harms way. A fenced yard or leash walks would be best to keep him safe. Stevie's blindness does not limit him, but he will bump into things until he is use to where everything is in the home. Stevie would likely not be the best choice for a family if you have littles toddling around, he could knock them over unknowingly. He has been to a animal eye specialist that has diagnosed him with a birth defect, that is non-painful. His eyes never fully matured, he likely saw shadows as a pup, and he is now  completely blind. He is crate trained and good in his crate, and he will let you know if he needs to go out.  Adopt sweet Stevie, he’s a good boy who needs a loving patient home and he will reward you with loyalty and laughter! As part of Stevie Wonders’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 Stevie Wonder, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2214094##

He pulled a bit on walks at first, but got much better over the weekend. He did great in the car, seemed to be pretty well potty trained. He was truly the most chill dog!"
