Welcome to a group joining us at Spring Fling for the first time, Paws4Ever! This group was established in 1962 as the Animal Protection Society of Chapel Hill. Undergoing a couple name changes over the years, they became Paws4Ever in 2008 to best reflect their mission.
"Our current name and its tagline, “Adopt, Care, Train.” brings focus to the core areas of service that continue to make our whole community a progressive leader in the humane treatment of animals."
When asked what excited them about Spring Fling and why they wanted to attend, they said:
"We are excited to join other pet-related groups to share more about our organization with the Raleigh area!"
Most of their adoptable animals come from local county shelters. In addition to adoptions, Paws4Ever also has several programs to aid pets in the community and the people who love them for the lifetime of the pet. One is training! You can find information about group classes as well as individual lessons, workshops, and virtual consultations on their website. They also have a short hiking trail and a dog park available for those who register to use it. For those who need to rehome their pet but don't want them to go into a shelter, they offer help in the form of tips and articles on safe ways to do that as well as a section on their website dedicated to advertising those pets.
"Paws4ever is dedicated to creating and growing lifetime relationships between pets and people through adoption, training, education & care."
Another great and fairly unique program of theirs is Legacy Care. In this, people can register their pet to enter a home-like environment at Paws4Ever in the event that they outlive their person. These pets do not enter a shelter or shelter-like environment! They are housed in a specific Legacy Care building or in a foster home until a new home is found for them. What a great option for those who worry about what will happen to their pet if they are no longer there to care for them!
One of their currently adoptable dogs is Goose, pictured here! He has been with the rescue since October 2023 and has been living in shelters most of his life. Goose is a great size, right around 50lbs. He's a goofy, playful, lively boy who loves squeaky toys, blueberries, hiking and belly rubs! He will roll on his back any time he wants one! He loves to hunt small critters so needs to be in a home without small animals. He also likes plenty of space when playing with toys or eating, so we recommend a home without small children.
You can read more about Goose and see if you might be the right fit for him on his profile page, here.
