Meet Mason - a Big Dog with an even Bigger Heart!

(DOB 11/13/2022) Mason is a big, lovable goofball with a heart of gold! This affectionate boy loves cuddles, long walks, belly laughs, and especially butt scratches! His favorite toy? A squeaky rubber chicken that provides endless entertainment!

Mason is smart, playful, and knows how to sit, spin, and shake. He enjoys other dogs but prefers smaller playgroups. Because of his size and enthusiasm, he'd do best with older children and a home without cats.

Mason is also a loyal watchdog who takes his job seriously! He'd thrive in a quieter home without lots of visitors, where introductions to new people can happen at his own pace.

Looking for a slightly clumsy, endlessly entertaining, oversized cuddle bug? Mason is your guy!

Mason's $325 adoption fee includes neutering, microchipping, age-appropriate vaccinations, and current flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to see us at Petco Wake Forest and PetSmart Wake Forest! We loved seeing all the familiar faces, meeting new friends, and showing off some of our amazing adoptable pups. ❤️

Pictured are just a few of the cuties who joined us! Each of these sweet faces is still looking for their forever family. 🏡

Did you meet someone who stole your heart? Don't wait! Head over and put in an adoption application. You might just have met your new best friend! 🐶❤️

Meet Jackson — a ridiculously handsome little guy who is living proof that you don't need two eyes to see just how wonderful life can be! We think his missing eye makes him even more special, but it's his incredibly sweet personality that will truly steal your heart.

Jackson came to Paws for Life NC as one of five Maine C**n mix kittens. Unfortunately, an issue with his left eye meant it had to be surgically removed. But here's the amazing thing about Jackson... he hasn't let it slow him down ONE BIT!

Even with his freshly shaved face and stitches, this boy is absolutely ADORABLE! And his personality? Somehow even sweeter than his face!

Jack is a happy, playful, curious kitten who loves exploring, chasing toys, and doing all the things kittens do best. He's great with other cats, has made friends with the dog in his foster home, and has even met children, happily soaking up their snuggles!

And did we mention he's a PURR MACHINE? Approach him from his right side, scoop him up, and that little motor starts running!

Because Jackson can no longer see on his left side, he sometimes gets startled when someone approaches him from that direction. His future family will simply need to be mindful of his blind side and give him a little heads-up before reaching for him. A small adjustment for a whole lot of love!

Jackson is currently recovering from surgery and should be ready for adoption in the coming weeks!

Keep an eye on www.pawsforlifenc.org for updates on when this special boy will be available for adoption!
