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.

About Sally

Distance: 342 Miles

Please consider giving Sally now known as Roxy the home that she deserves. She was adopted from Best Friend Pet Adoption as a young puppy into a home that gave her a wonderful life. Sadly, her owner suddenly passed away on Christmas Day while taking their normal morning walk. Roxy now needs to find a new home. Sally (Roxy) can be timid with new people especially now that she misses her owner. She will need time to settle in but once she does, she will be your loyal friend. Once she bonds with you, she will be at your side...giving you her adorable smile! She gets along fine with other dogs once she gets to know them. She may be intimated by a large dog. She is currently living with a smaller dog and is doing fine. Roxy prefers human companionship, so would be fine as a solo dog. In her previous home. she was a solo dog who loved her people. She is housebroken and crate trained. She likes long walks and does well with a harness. Sally doesn't need a fenced yard since she is used to going on walks for her potty breaks. Her ideal home would be with someone who is home most of the time since she is not used to be alone for long periods of time. She has not been around cats or children and would do best in a calm environment. Please consider giving Roxy a new home where she can be showered with love and affection. Applicants must live no further than one hour from Raleigh/Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian /volunteer for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We therefore require applicants to live within one hour drive of Raleigh/Cary NC.
