✨ Meet Jolene! ✨

Jolene is in search of a loving foster (in the Raleigh area) or a forever home! At just 34 pounds, she’s the perfect-sized companion who adores her stuffed toys and snuggles. Currently staying with our trainer, she’s been learning so much and thriving.

Jolene has plenty of energy and would do great in a busy, active home that can keep her engaged. While she absolutely loves every human she meets, she prefers to be the only pet in the home so she can soak up all the attention. This doesn’t make her any less wonderful—it just means she loves being the star!

We’re hoping to find Jolene a forever family who will give her the love she deserves. If you can help please fill out the application in our bio! 🔗

In 2024 alone, we had 13 litters! That’s a lot of puppies - meaning we went through a LOT of puppy pads and formula. On average, you use one puppy pad per dog, and you change it many times throughout the day. Can you imagine how many we went through?

We were able to to help the mama dogs out there because of your support and donations. Please consider donating to PIPs this holiday season so we can continue rescuing dogs like Mama Demi and Mama Reaves who came to us with their large litters! While they were overlooked for a while due to being a mama pup, they have finally found their perfect families and we could not be more proud. YOUR donations help us save more dogs like Demi and Reaves, from horrible circumstances.

*Friendly reminder, your donation is tax deductible. 🎄*

Mila and Mason are two of the sweetest pups you’ll ever meet. Despite coming from a challenging start, they are full of love, snuggles, and hope for a bright future together. This bonded pair shares an incredible connection and needs to be adopted as a duo.

About Mila and Mason:
Mila has a bit more mobility than Mason and is quite the determined little lady—she pulls herself along like a champion in an adorable army crawl and even makes her way to the p*e pads when she needs to potty. Mason, on the other hand, finds movement a bit tougher, but he gives it his best effort with a little help and wears a belly band for added support.

What Makes Them Special:

Built-In Best Friends: Mila and Mason keep each other entertained and are a source of comfort and joy to one another.

Amazing Snugglers: They love to cuddle up, whether it’s with each other or with their favorite humans.

Easy Daily Care: Their care routine is straightforward. Each morning involves a quick clean-up, putting on Mason’s belly band, some snuggles, and feeding. During the day, a few minutes of stretching for Mason helps keep him comfortable.

No Major Medical Needs: While they have limited mobility, Mila and Mason are not on any expensive medications and don’t require major medical procedures in the foreseeable future.

Daily Life with Mila and Mason:

These two love spending time with their people and enjoy fresh air outside. Their personalities are shining brighter every day as they grow more comfortable and confident. They adore other dogs and find joy in snuggling whenever they can.

While their bodies may not allow them to move like typical pups, Mila and Mason are mentally sharp, curious, and full of life. They deserve a loving home that sees them for who they are—wonderful, resilient, and endlessly lovable. If you’re ready to open your heart to this special pair and give them the long, happy life they deserve, they will reward you with endless love and devotion.

We are only charging one adoption fee for both pups to ensure they go and stay together.

🚨 **Foster Needed ASAP for a Sweet Mastiff Mix** 🚨

This beautiful 5-year-old Mastiff mix urgently needs to get out of the shelter. She has a ruptured mammary gland and needs immediate vet care. Despite her challenges, she’s been such a sweetheart and did wonderfully on her leashed dog test! 💕

We’re looking for a foster to care for her until she’s adopted. **PIPs covers all supplies and medical expenses at our partner vets**, and our incredible team will guide and support you throughout the fostering experience.

📍 We are based in the Raleigh, NC area, so we ask that fosters are local.

If you can help this amazing girl get the love and care she deserves, please fill out our foster form: ** http://pipsrescue.org/foster **

Let’s work together to give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves! 🐾❤

Don’t forget - WE ARE CLOSED from 12/17 through 1/2!

As a rescue, we closed adoptions and events during the holidays to deter people from thinking of their recently adopted dogs as Christmas gifts. You can still apply, but dogs will not be able to go home until 1/3!

If you’ve been thinking about adopting a PIPs pup, now is the time to apply!

*Rescue never stops, but adoptions and events will come to a halt*

We appreciate your endless support, and we hope some of our dogs will find their FUR-ever homes before we close 🐶

Your donations to our help fund situations like Joy’s. Help us to the next dog that has no owner, no clear future. Help us to the dog that no one else wants.

Remember Joy? She was brought in as a stray, with tape holding her mouth shut, burns down her back, and a clear sign that she had been hit on the head with something hard. PIPs stepped in, and nursed her back to health to prove to her that no one would ever hurt her again. Thanks to our generous donors, we were able to raise money to help support Joy’s vet bills. Due to her injuries, she is now in the “one-eye club”, but she doesn’t even notice it’s missing! She has been adopted by her amazing vet Cindy, at . We couldn’t be happier for her!

As we reflect on this incredible year, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the heart and soul of our organization—our amazing fosters, donors, volunteers, and supporters. Thanks to your unwavering dedication and generosity, we’ve been able to save countless dogs, provide them with second chances, and watch them find loving homes. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of this life-changing journey.

This year, we've witnessed some incredible transformations, and none of it would have been possible without YOU. Whether you’ve opened your home to a foster dog, donated to provide medical care, volunteered your time, or simply spread the word about our cause—you’ve made a direct impact on the lives of so many dogs in need. Your commitment continues to inspire us every day.

As a little thank you, we're excited to share our "PIPs Wrapped" (just like Spotify Wrapped!)—a fun look back at all of the milestones, moments, and successes we’ve achieved together this year. Here's to even more saved lives and bright futures in the year ahead! Thank you for being part of our family and for helping us create a better world for dogs in need. 🐾❤️

It's Giving Tuesday, and Teagan Needs Us More Than Ever

Teagan has captured so many hearts, and we are so grateful for everyone rooting for her. After what we thought was a clear path to recovery, she faced some setbacks, and today we had to make the tough decision to put her through surgery.

It’s never easy to see such a fragile little soul endure so much, and it makes us incredibly nervous to put her through this. But after consulting with the amazing vets at NC State, we know it’s her best chance for a healthy future.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your help to support Teagan’s care. We were able to raise about 80% of her last medical bill, but her new surgery has added nearly $9,000 to her total.

Every single dollar makes a difference and gives Teagan the chance to fight through this. Let’s come together to show her the love and support she deserves.

The link to our Giving Tuesday campaign is in the comments below. Thank you for being part of Teagan’s journey and for making a difference today. ❤️

Adopting a mutt is one of the best decisions you can make! Here are five reasons why:

1. Unique Personalities – Mutts often have one-of-a-kind traits that make them truly special and endearing.

2. Healthier Genetics – Mixed-breed dogs generally have fewer genetic health issues and are often hardier.

3. Loyal Companions – Mutts are known for their loyalty, and many come from rescue backgrounds, making them even more grateful for a loving home.

4. Saving a Life – By adopting a mutt, you’re giving a shelter dog a second chance at happiness and love.

5. Great Variety – Whether you're looking for a small lap dog or a playful big buddy, there's a mutt to fit every lifestyle!

Adopting a mutt means choosing a one-of-a-kind friend who will be by your side through thick and thin. 🐾❤️

🚨 PLEASE HELP 🚨Please note, we are looking for a foster or foster to adopt, please read before you apply! PIPs has a heartfelt request. Do you remember the adorable Pastry litter, with their cute baking-themed photos? Sadly, while their mom was pregnant, they were unknowingly exposed to a virus that attacked the muscles around their little hearts. Tragically, we lost 3 out of the 7 puppies. This condition is rare, and there’s limited research, so there’s no guaranteed timeline for when they’ll be completely healthy. But we’re doing everything we can to give these sweet pups a fighting chance. We’re looking for loving fosters to take in each of these pups separately. Our goal is to get them to 6 months of age, at which point we’ll recheck their bloodwork to see if they’re ready for adoption. Fosters will have the option to adopt them or help us find them forever homes. Here are a few important things to know: they are not contagious, they play and run just like any other puppies, there is no medications or extra treatments you have to take them to and they could still go on to live long, healthy lives! PIPs will cover all medical expenses and provide any supplies you need. All you need to do is offer a loving home and start basic puppy training. Our PIPs team will be with you every step of the way. Please consider opening your heart and home to one of these special pups. They deserve every chance at a happy, healthy life! Please email [email protected] with questions or if you can help.#pipsrescue #adoptabledogs #raleigh #durham #chapelhill #fosterpuppies #dogs #puppies #animalrescue
