Best Friend Pet Adoption

Best Friend Pet Adoption (BFPA) is a no-kill animal rescue organization based in central North Carolina. BFPA has no building, office, or shelter. We are an all-foster network committed to helping dogs and cats in need of homes. Individual donations are our most important source of income as we receive no public funding.Our purpose is to provide medical assistance, foster homes, and adoption services to previously lost, abandoned, abused, or neglected animals in Wake County, NC and the surrounding counties. Our mission is to educate this disposable society in which we live that every life should be valued and cherished and is directly linked to human responsibility and commitment.Almost all the animals we rescue require immediate medical attention. BFPA never turns away or euthanizes an animal because of the expense involved in returning them to good health. All our rescued animals are evaluated for temperament, examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, microchipped (if possible) and sterilized, if age appropriate. Cats and dogs receive monthly flea/tick preventative and dogs also receive monthly heartworm preventative.The most important ingredients we provide to these animals are loving care and a safe haven -- something most of them have never experienced. These cats and dogs live in volunteer foster homes until we find them a loving permanent home, however long it takes. We match these precious beings to a single, couple or family who understand cats and dogs should be full participating members of the family. Our hope is that these animals never have to experience being unloved again.Since our beginning, BFPA has rescued and placed over 2,500 cats and dogs into their forever homes.BFPA was created in 1998 by two Raleigh-area women who had volunteered with other established rescues in the Triangle. Their dedication to help homeless dogs and cats has led to an organization that has grown to over 225 volunteers strong.BFPA received 501(c)(3) status in 1999.

Meet Astra

 Puppy time!  If you are looking for the perfect new family member, look no further!  The link to the Best Friend Pet Adoption application is : https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC     Astra's name suits her - she's a shooting star! She's intelligent, friendly and has an independent streak.  Astra likes all humans and will greet them with excited kisses and wiggles.  She loves to follow her foster kitty siblings around the house so will do well with a dog savvy cat.  She's wonderful with her foster dog siblings who are much bigger than her.  Astra is one smart cookie! She is already learning some basic commands and will be easy to train since she is  extremely treat/food motivated.    Astra loves obstacles and tunnels!  She passes back and forth through kitty tunnels like a pro, wriggles underneath coffee tables, and bounces over taller objects with ease. Her smarts and talent, combined with proper training, would make her an excellent dog for agility sports! Right now she has a pretty typical puppy schedule - potty, zooming around, potty, eat, potty, sleep, potty, repeat. As long as she's gotten a chance to run and play several times a day she settles nicely in her puppy pen. She sleeps in her pen. She is doing great with housebreaking!  EVERY DOG HAS A STORY:  Astra was part of a litter that was surrendered to a shelter when they were 6 weeks old. Best Friend Pet Adoption wanted to provide good homes for these sweet girls so admitted them into our rescue. We were told their Mom was a German Shepherd but if so, the Dad was probably a lab since the puppies look to be lab mixes.  Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  Applicants must live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized.  Any adopter must be able to come to the Cary area for future medical care until Astra is spayed at around 6 months.  BFPA covers the cost of all medical care until the adoption is finalized.  INTERESTED IN ADOPTING ASTRA? If so, please fill out our dog adoption application by copying and pasting this link in a new browser window: https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC
