Dogs for Adoption in Burlington, NC: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

Meet the Peaceful Pack — Rosa’s Litter of Love (with a Few Special Additions!)Sweet Rosa, a beautiful husky mix, gave birth to 8 adorable puppies—and then opened her heart even wider to welcome two bonus babies: Susan and Bone, a lovable pair of beagle mixes. Now this blended bunch is known as the Peaceful Pack—a crew full of charm, wiggles, and puppy love.Rosa’s original 8 are believed to be husky/lab mixes, and every single one of them is full of personality. They’re playful, affectionate, and the perfect mix of joyful chaos and irresistible cuteness.While a puppy may not bring peace in the traditional sense, they will bring laughter, cuddles, and a whole lot of heart.They’ll be joining us at the Compass Rose Event on May 10th, but we highly recommend applying before then—this pack won’t be available for long! Puppies can go home to approved adopters starting May 18th (at 8 weeks old).

Hi! I'm new here and a friendly Foster saved me from the shelter. I am so happy to be in a loving home and learning all the puppy things. My foster mom will update here as she learns more about me but I am accepting applications for my future forever family!

I-Hop is an adorable pup full joy and love - and he is waiting to spend forever with you! He absolutely adores being held and snuggled up close. He is the best of both worlds - sleeping on your shoulder (his favorite spot), but also always up for a playful game. He’s a big fan of stuffed animals and enjoys a good tug-of-war.Despite his small size, this guy is incredibly brave and doesn’t let his “chicken wing” leg hold him back! He’s even learned how to climb stairs that are bigger than he is!He still has that adorably wonderful puppy breath. Like any puppy, he is still learning that puppy teeth are for toys only, but he’s easily redirected.

Hi there, I'm Bandit! I’m a 1-year-old Cattle Dog mix on a mission to find my ultimate partner-in-crime. If your ideal day involves throwing a tennis ball, playing with a flirt pole, and giving out endless belly rubs, we are going to get along great!I am a high-energy guy who loves to stay busy. I’m already a pro at walking on a leash, I’ve mastered the "sit" command, and I’m currently working on expanding my trick vocabulary. I would do best with a family who understands I am a super smart guy who needs physical and mental stimulation. I'm fully house-trained and completely comfortable in my crate, so I promise to be a very good boy in the house.

Biscuit is a resilient, affectionate small-breed rescue dog who is fully vetted and ready to transition into a forever home that can accommodate his specific care, space, and family needs.

Austin and her siblings have come such a long way! Bottle-fed since they were just a couple of weeks old, these sweet puppies are now thriving and eating hard puppy food like champs! ❤️ Austin may have started out as the runt of the litter, but she has caught up with her siblings and is doing amazing! This sweet little girl has blossomed into a playful, affectionate puppy who loves attention and being held. Austin has the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddly sweetness! She loves exploring new toys, playing with her siblings, and then curling up in a soft, cozy bed for a well-deserved nap. She's also doing great with crate training for her young age!

Athens and her siblings have come such a long way! Bottlefed since they were just a couple of weeks old, these sweet puppies are now thriving and eating hard puppy food like champs!
❤️ Athens is a sweet, playful, and outgoing little girl with some unique features! She's the only puppy in her litter with slightly longer, fluffier fur than her siblings. Most of the litter also has double rear dewclaws (extra toes on her back paws). These typically just require a little extra attention during nail trims and not other medical needs!
While we can't guarantee her breed mix, double rear dewclaws are seen in breeds like Great Pyrenees and anatolian shepherds, and her fluffy coat gives her an extra adorable look! She may have some working or herding breeds in her background, so her future family should be ready for an active, intelligent pup who will enjoy plenty of exercise and playtime.
Athens has been incredibly friendly with everyone she meets and absolutely loves to play! She has a wonderful personality.
Athens is looking for a forever family who will love her playful spirit, fluffy fur, and friendly demeanor!
Could Athens be the perfect addition to your family?

Auburn and her siblings have come such a long way! Bottle-fed since they were just a couple of weeks old, these sweet puppies are now thriving and eating hard puppy food like champs!
❤️ Auburn is a laid-back, mellow, and quiet little girl with the sweetest personality! While some of her siblings are busy being rambunctious puppies, Auburn is happy to take things at her own pace. She's an easygoing little sweetheart who is as cute as can be!
Like most of her siblings, Auburn has double rear dewclaws (extra toes on her back paws). These are seen in certain breeds, including Great Pyrenees and anatolian shepherds, and typically just require a little extra attention during nail trims.

Oxford and his siblings have come such a long way! Bottle-fed since they were just a couple of weeks old, these sweet puppies are now thriving and eating hard puppy food like champs! ❤️ Oxford has the cutest little face and a personality that will steal your heart! He absolutely loves people and follows his foster family everywhere, hoping to be picked up, held, and snuggled. He's a little cuddle bug who also loves belly rubs and curling up with his favorite stuffed animals! But don't let his snuggly side fool you—Oxford is also the leader of the pack! He's usually the first puppy to discover a fun new toy, and before long, all his siblings are following his lead.

Boston and his siblings have come such a long way! Bottle-fed since they were just a couple of weeks old, these sweet puppies are now thriving and eating hard puppy food like champs! ❤️ Boston is a confident, smart, and lovable little guy!

Boston is very friendly and likes to be held (but also enjoys his alone time when he's tired!), absolutely loves belly rubs, and has already been making great progress with crate training for his age! With his fun personality, sweet nature, and growing independence, Boston is ready to find a forever family to call his own! and look at those eyes and beautiful markings!!!

Hi there! I’m Stefan, a 2-year-old Airedale Terrier, and yes, I’m a tripod. But if you think that’s going to stop me from living my best life, you clearly haven’t met me yet!

I may be missing a leg, but I’m not missing a single bit of that big terrier personality. I’m ready for adventures, fun, and all the love my forever family has to offer. After all, being a tripod is just one little detail about me. It doesn’t define who I am!

My story began in a place no dog should ever have to call home.

I was one of more than 20 dogs rescued from a puppy mill in South Carolina, and when I arrived, I was in heartbreaking shape.

Charlie is a sweet little Dachshund mix who came from a breeder surrender, and he’s ready to discover just how wonderful life can be outside that world.

His idea of a perfect day? You, a cozy lap, and a good movie or book. He’s perfectly happy snuggling for hours, as long as he can be close to his favorite human. Honestly, personal space is not really his thing!

Her Ideal Home

My story began in a place no dog should ever have to call home. I was one of more than 20 dogs rescued from a puppy mill in South Carolina, and when I arrived, I was in heartbreaking shape. The world is still a scary place for me. I’m learning that people can be kind, that gentle hands can bring comfort, and that life can be so much more than simply surviving. I may be shut down right now, but deep inside, there is a little dog who deserves to feel safe, loved, and cherished. Thanks to Pawfect Match, I finally have a chance to discover what it means to be a dog. My healing will take time, patience, and understanding, but dogs are remarkably resilient, and I’m proof that even the most wounded hearts can begin to heal. I just need someone willing to give me a chance, meet me where I am, and help me discover the beautiful life I’ve always deserved.

Hi Im Skippert! I nice foster saved me from the shelter and I've been having a great time learning how to be loved. I am with dogs of all sizes and exposed to farm animals at my foster home along with kids.

I am working on all my basic manners and would love to meet you!

Hi! My name is Raine, I am approx 7 wk old hound/pitt mix with a heart full of love and a spirit full of adventure!

My mom was found under a porch and they came back and found me too! My foster mom says I was probably the runt of the litter for sure but that doesn't hold me back! I am a spunky little puppy who is mischievous, fun and loving.

Here is how my day goes………….I wake up eat, play, I investigate all I can, sleep and then do it all over again until its bedtime with my mom at night. Right now I am learning all I can from my mom so I will be ready for my new forever family once I am over 8 weeks old!

Meet Autumn

Autumn is about 4 years old, and despite everything she’s been through, she is just the friendliest, most loving dog. She already knows some basic commands and we’re working on her crate and leash training together. Right now, her full-time job is being the best mom to her puppy, Raine, and together we are working on getting some extra snacks and good meals to get her back to a healthy weight. She’ll be ready for her forever family soon—once her baby is independent and she’s finished with all her vet care.

Meet Amelia, One of Our Georgia Girls!Amelia is approximately 6 months old, weighs around 20 pounds, and is an American Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix. She is one of our very special Georgia girls, and she's looking for a forever home alongside her sister and best friend, Bessie!If there's one thing you should know about Amelia, it's that this girl is DETERMINED! Amelia was born with significant physical abnormalities that affect her mobility, but she doesn't let that stop her from trying to get where she wants to go. She moves by pushing with her back legs and scooting her front half along the floor.

Meet Bessie, One of Our Georgia Girls!Bessie is approximately 6 months old, weighs around 20 pounds, and is an American Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix. She's one half of our adorable Georgia girls duo, and she's looking for a forever family who will welcome both her and her sister, Amelia.Bessie is our sweet, snuggly girl who knows exactly how to let you know when she needs something!

Meet Hazel! Hazel is a sweet, affectionate girl who is settling beautifully into life in a loving home - but can't wait to spend forever with you. Hazel has a serious talent for cuddling and loves nothing more than curling up in a lap for a long, cozy nap (snoring included!) but she will also happily go to her crate on her own for a nap. She’s a little shadow who loves following her people around the house and being part of whatever they’re doing.When she’s not snuggling, Hazel enjoys running around the yard, going for neighborhood walks, riding in the car, and spending time with kids and other dogs.

Winnie has no idea that she’s special — but she is. To her, she’s just a happy, playful dog living her best life. Winnie was born with a cerebellum that didn’t fully develop in utero, a condition believed to be cerebellar hypoplasia. This affects her balance and gives her a uniquely wobbly, slightly unsteady way of walking. It doesn’t cause her pain, and it certainly doesn’t dim her spirit. Winnie is, without question, the happiest dog her foster family has ever met.

Ernest is an approximately 3‑year‑old sweetheart with a calm, affectionate nature and a touch of playful confidence. He has an absolutely adorable little underbite that makes him look like he’s smiling all the time, and it suits his gentle, goofy charm perfectly. He can be a bit bossy with dogs who don’t like to listen, but in a home with well‑mannered canine companions, he settles in beautifully.

Hi! My mom and siblings were rescued by pawfect when we were just born in the shelter. We have been living in a warm cozy foster home and growing, growing, growing! Our mom Brynn (Brinley) is what they think to be a Coonhound mix and we are not sure what our dad was mixed with but likely something big.
We currently live in a foster home with cats, dogs & kids but please remember we are babies and proper introductions and consistent boundaries and training are a must to help me thrive as I grow.
We are accepting applications to be taken home as your new BFF and can't wait to find our forever!
