"Hey there! My name is Gizmo and I am so excited to find my furever home! I am still working on coming out of my shell, but I love being outside and snuggling with you on the couch 🙂 I didn't come from the best circumstances and my skin is recovering from lots of fleas bites. I am still nervous while walking on a leash so having a fenced-in yard is a must for me. I get along with other cats and dogs, and do prefer them to be more on the calmer side. I prefer children to also be calm and gentle, a low key home will be best for me. A patient adopter will be rewarded with such a sweet and gentle companion. Gizmo is potty and crate trained and rides well in the car. He is about 4 years old and weighs 15lbs. Gizmo is heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment. We are looking for a "foster to adopt", you would be able to get Gizmo into your home now while the rescue continues to cover all of the charges for treatment, once heartworm treatment is complete, we would then finalize the adoption. An adopter will need to near the Garner area as trips to our vet will be required. If you are looking for a gentle best-friend, I'm your guy!" Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen? You'll need to start by completing an adoption application, available online at our website: www.jcapl.org. There is no obligation to adopt by completing an application, however, we do recommend submitting an application as soon as you find an animal you are interested in. We review applications in the order they are received. Completed applications can be sent via email to adopt@jcapl.org, faxed to 919-300-5524 or delivered in person by visiting us at one of our adoption events on Saturdays at PetSmart in Garner (White Oak Shopping Center). We will contact you as soon as possible once we receive your application. Thanks for thinking adoption!

Tinkerbelle is a tiny girl who is about 2-3 years old. She is sweet and loving. She is still adjusting to a nice foster home with love and attention. The world is still a bit scary for her but she is improving each day and is happy to be able to leave her old life behind her. Her favorite thing is cuddling up on your lap. She is doing great with potty training. She lives with other dogs and cats in her foster home and gets along with all. Due to her small size and acclimating to new things, a home with older, calmer children will be best. Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen?

Hey there - my name is Hazel and I am here looking for my new best friend. I am an incredibly smart girl who knows ALL of the commands and I am so proud to show them off. I love following my foster mom around the house and staring at her every chance I get. I am completely obsessed with affection and snuggles and love to put my head in your lap. I am crate trained and potty trained. I don't get into any mischief when you leave me but I may cry a bit, but will fall asleep quickly. I have a goofy side and love to play with toys. I am good in the car and great on a leash and enjoy walks. I am 71lbs and 3 years old. Since I love humans so much, I would be fine being the only dog and getting all of the attention.

Are you just a little bit lonely and know you need a companion that is a little bit sweet, and a little bit hyper and a whole lot of cute? Then Little Bit is the girl for you! She is around a year old and 50lbs, she still has all that puppy energy. She loves to run and play but is dog selective. She needs a human that can handle her energy levels and has time to spend time on a little training and a pinch of patience wouldn't hurt. She is food motivated and knows sit. She needs continued leash work as she likes to pull. She is housebroken and doesn’t mind being crated. Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen?

  • Husky, Mixed
  • Spayed/Neutered
  • Housebroken
  • Vaccinations up to date

Apollo was the Greek mythical god of music and dance so the name fits this boy perfectly. Apollo does spins and dances when he gets excited and especially when he sees the leash come out. He has an absolutely kissable face!! He is looking for a loving family that he can love in return. He will greet you excitedly at the door and follow you around the house! He enjoys playing with other dogs but also enjoy my human time as well. He is 54Ibs. and almost 2 years old. He loves treats and toys and will do all the tricks he knows for them and take them super gently. He likes human food and like most huskies will sit and stare at you to see if he can have some. He enjoys running around so a fenced in yard is a must! He likes to walk and love to run on the harness, hope you can keep up! He will sit, lay and relax in the house the rest of the time, especially the morning, he is not a morning dog right away. But when up he is up….until nap time! He does well in the crate but doesn't enjoy it. He does great in the car and loves to go on trips, loves the wind on his face! He just doesn't want to miss anything and wants to be around his human all the time. He is loving and affectionate and playful. All in all, he just want to be loved and have a great place to call home! He enjoys children and is patient around younger ones. An adopter that understands and has experience with the breed is preferred. Apollo has lots of energy and will need an active family or a doggy fur sibling. Apartment life will not be a good fit.
