More about the shelter
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.
All adoptions begin with a trial period of at least 2 weeks before the adoption is finalized. Anyone interested in adopting completes an on line application which must be approved by our adoption coordinator. Process includes reference and vet record checks. All animals must be up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered and microchipped before adoption trial. Fee is $250 for dogs, $115 for cats.

Elvis is a wonderful dog and will make a great family pet. His momma is a 32 lb hound mix. We feel that Elvis will be her size or larger. Elvis is a typical puppy who is learning a lot of new skills. We are working on crate training. He is almost potty trained and getting used to his potty schedule.
Elvis has not met a human he does not love. He is very social and loves to meet new people. Elvis has been around our youngest child who is 12 and he was great with him and our other children. Puppies may nibble, bite and mouth so he may not be appropriate for very young children unless they have had experience around dogs/puppies.
Elvis currently lives with 4 other dogs of all different sizes and temperaments and plays well with all of them. We have a cat and at first, he was curious but for the most part, he leaves the cat alone. He has a lot of energy and loves to play with his foster siblings. Elvis is used to having someone home during the day and loves to play in his fenced in yard. So that situation would be ideal in his forever home. He would do great with another dog in the home to play with. If he does not have a playmate or fenced yard, he will need long walks and exercised often. An active family would be ideal for him.
Elvis is an absolute sweetheart. He is super snuggly and playful. He loves sitting in your lap and giving lots of kisses. He'd make a great companion for older kids and a great playmate for another dog. He is smart and learning more every day. He is also eager to please both his humans and dog friends. Elvis is packing up his toys already and is getting ready for his next adventure in life! If you're looking for a loving, loyal, and sweet companion who's always up for fun, Elvis might just be the pup for you!
EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Elvis was born at a shelter after his momma was picked up as a stray. Best Friend Pet Adoption quickly rescued both the momma and her 4 puppies. Elvis is looking for his forever home now.

Applicants should ideally live no more than 60 minutes from Cary NC since they must receive medical care in the Cary area. Best Friend Pet Adoption will cover all medical cost for Elvis until his adoption is finalized once he is neutered when he is around 6 months old. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.
Elvis can start a trial adoption right now though!
