Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Stewie is a typical chihuahua in that he wants you to do nothing to him for the first two days.  And we mean absolutely nothing, do not even look his way... He has pearly whites and is not afraid to use them. Just let him settle in on his terms and get used to his new environment and new people.  It's a big scary world for a little fella.  BUT then something magical happens after that you can't do anything without him for the rest of your life. He is like velcro. Like the glue of your life. Your one true companion.  Once you are the light of his life, he can't hold his licker....he loves to give kisses and snuggle.  Stewie loves food and he will even dance for it. It is the next best thing next to you. We would prefer he have a home with no kids because again of the little rascally chihuahua thing.  But if you have older kids he will probably be ok with that if they follow his rules. And it never hurts to put him in his own room or crate if company is coming.    Stewie loves other dogs and loves to play, but has no problem telling them who is in charge as needed.  It goes back to that little fella in charge thing. He likes to terrorize the kitties for fun, so probably a no cat zone. Stewie does tend to mark a bit and will wear a wrap but isn't a huge fan. In his current foster home he is slowly but surely showing he is housetrained in order to get out of wearing it.    Can you love Stewie forever?

Story
Oreos previous owner was moving and could not keep him. My spouse and I took him in hopes of finding him a good home. He is a very affectionate and loving dog, smart too. He loves other animals but he’s an attention hog so be prepared for lots of love.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Gizmo and here are some things you need to know about me!  After you read through my bio, if you think I might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete your adoption application online.  If you can't adopt me, but would like to help, please consider making a donation to AAMR in my name to help with my extended needs in foster care.Gizmo is special.  He needs special care, lots of patience and lots of love.  Special pups need special heroes. Mr. Gizmo is a big personality in a little body!  He was surrendered by an owner to a public shelter. They had him for several years after they found him inside a dumpster … so we know his life has been a mix of really good and awful.  He is happy to be out of the shelter and into foster care because he really does want to be near people. A typical Chihuahua, Gizmo has some ‘small dog syndrome’ issues … because he has been allowed to behave badly.  He is a typical chihuahua barker and will not be the best apartment/condo/townhome resident. He wants to be with and near people, but only on his terms.  He protests loudly when you try to pick him up.  He will growl and sound very vicious and, yes, he will bite. He is also on an anti-anxiety medication which has seemed to help a little.  If you talk sternly to him, he will show his teeth and growl.  We see a pup who has been allowed to ‘bully’ his people, and it is going to take to take a strong, determined, consistent new adopter to help break these bad habits.  He is a toy hoarder and will guard his food so he will not be the best companion for another dog that likes to play with toys.  And, it is quite a challenge to get a harness on him to go for a walk, so having a fenced yard is a 'must' for him.  (Small dogs should never be walked with just a collar and leash due to potential damage to the trachea.)  This boy sure needs a wonderful family to love him and help him become a happier boy.  Are you willing to be the hero who gives him a chance? Approximate age/birthdate:  born ~2014 Weight/size: 9 lbs Housebroken:  YES (as long as you can get him outside often) Crate trained:  YES (he is not a fan of being crated, but once he is in, he is fine) Personality: cautious, curious,big personality but wants to be boss, vocal (a great alarm system) Energy level:  medium to low ... he is busy trying to watch everything in every room, but he isn't rowdy Fenced yard required?:   YES definitely.  If he gets outside a fenced area off-leash, he will be a flight risk.  He should never be off-leash outside unless he is inside a securely fenced area.  Getting a harness on him to go for a walk can be tricky (he does like to bite), but small dogs should never be walked with just a collar and leash due to potential trachea damage. Does he/she jump fences?  NO Leash walk with manners:  YES Obedience training:  Knows ‘sit’ Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  YES Social with cats: Cats get his attention and he would love to chase them. Good with children:  NO CHILDREN. Adoption donation:  $175 We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible. When your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Gizmo picks you too. If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Max (or Maxey if you prefer)! Please take a minute to read my entire bio to find out everything you need to know about me.   If you think I might be the perfect pup for you, go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete the adoption application online. Max is a little puzzle … a chorkie (Chihuahua/yorkie mix) … with some definite opinions about life and how things should go!  He is absolutely precious, and he is fine being around people and other dogs similar to him in size … as long as you are willing to live by his ‘code of conduct.’  He is really smart, and he definitely understands that everything he enjoys (food, treats, toys, etc.) comes from people … but he doesn’t care for said people touching him or picking him up.  And don’t expect it to change.  He lived with one person for almost 7 years, and the attitude did not change.  If he wants something from you, he will come to you and ask for it, but all the ‘no touch’ rules still apply.  He really wants to stay where he can see his person, but ‘seeing’ is good enough for him. If you want him to go with you, drop a slip lead on him and he will go! Life with Max will also be much simpler if his home has a securely fenced yard so he can get outside to go potty.  He learns new routines very quickly, too. So … if you’re looking for a new cuddlebug, Max is NOT your guy.  If you’re looking for a furry friend as a low-maintenance companion, he could be the perfect boy for you.  Adults only, please … no little ones who might forget and break his ‘no touch’ rules! Approximate age/birthdate:  April 4, 2015 Weight/size: 13 lbs Housebroken:  YES (as long as you do your part and get him out regularly) Crate trained:  YES Personality:  a bit stand-offish, alert, wants things his way, serious Energy level:  medium Fenced yard required?:   YES – a fenced yard will make life with Max so much easier Does he/she jump fences?  NO Leash walk with manners:  YES Obedience training:  NO Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  YES although he prefers other pups closer to his size Social with cats: Has not been around cats in foster care Good with children:  No children please.  He is unpredictable and would likely bite if touched. Adoption donation: $75 We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

Mylo is a sweet senior boy who is looking for a new forever home.  Mylo came to AAMR originally when his owner became ill and could not care for him.  He was adopted into a new home where he was loved so much, but fast forward a few years and his new Mom passed away.  Fast forward a few more years and his Dad became seriously ill, and Mylo was returned to AAMR when Dad could no longer care for his beloved pets. So you can see that this sweet, sensitive boy has had his share of heartbreak in his life, and he has known a lot of loved.  He is still active and loving and ready to find a very special family to love him through his golden years.  Could that be you? Here are some very important things you need to know about Mylo Approximate age/birthdate:  June 30, 2012 Weight/size: 16 lbs Housebroken:  YES as long as you do your part and take him out regularly Crate trained:  YES Personality: a little reserved at first but sweet and loving Energy level:  medium  Fenced yard required?:   Definitely preferred.  He should never be outside of a fenced area without being on a leash and harness.

He prefers living with smaller dogs. Social with cats:  Has ignored the cats so far with older, respectful children.  No children under 10, please.
