Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Dillon! Read my 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. If you are not able to adopt, please consider donating to AAMR in my name to help with my extended care in rescue. Special needs pups are just that ... special ... and they just need special heroes to come to their rescue.  Have you tried on your hero cape lately? We don’t know a lot about Dillon's early life other than a Good Samaritan took him in to keep him safe after he appeared to have been abandoned on a rural road.  His Good Sam said he sat in one spot on the road for several days and appeared to be waiting for his ‘ride’ to come back to get him.  After about 4 days, he gave up and went looking for food and water, which he found in her garage!We do know that Dillon has some social anxiety issues and he can go from happy to distraught and nippy in situations with multiple people moving around in an area.  He has always done fine in his original foster home, but had a few 'incidents' in an adopting home, and he was returned to AAMR.  It is sad because Dillon is a very sweet and loving little guy ... until his anxiety takes over.  'Stranger Danger' is very real to him and in his mind, he needs to protect himself. We are not really sure of Dillon’s breed mix.  He has a dachshund-like body (long and low) with the head of a tiny yellow lab!  Dillon really deserves a family who wants to help him develop some confidence and some manners so he can be the lucky dog he is meant to be.  He is very excitable and vocal when left alone for too long and will not be the best apartment resident.  Dillon's wish list includes 1) a fenced yard, 2) an low-key, settled family willing to spend time with him and accept his limitations and 3) people to cuddle with every day who will teach him how to be the best boy ever.  Could that be you?Dillon does well with most other dogs, so having another confident, friendly dog in the home may be good for him.  Absolutely no children in the home.  If there are children visiting the home, it will be best to give Dillon a safe, out-of-the-way area to rest in his crate while the children are around.  They make him very anxious.Please read the rest of Dillon's bio below so you can learn more about him.Approximate age/birthdate: ~ early 2015 Weight/size:  ~25 lbs Housebroken:  YES ... as long as you do your part and let him outside often  Crate trained:  YES Personality:  happy, playful, guarded in new situations, wary of new people and animals, anxious about too much activity around him Energy level:  medium    Fenced yard required?:   YES – he definitely needs a safe place to run off excess energy.  A physical fence is required so someone could not just wander in and trigger his anxiety. Does he/she jump fences?  NO  Leash walk:  YES  Obedience training:  Yes, a previous owner took him to class and we know he is very smart. Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  Somewhat ... once properly introduced.  He gets excited when meeting new dogs and does not like dogs getting in his face.  He will growl if a new dog gets in his face.  Once he has time to properly meet a new dog, he generally does fine.    Social with cats:  Do not know … has not been around cats. We think he would chase them if they ran, but not sure if he would try to harm them. Good with children:  No Children ... he has nipped at 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 meet-and-greet to see if Dillon 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. Please email AAMR at weluvpups@hotmail.com if you have additional questions.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 16, 2026, 12:15 am

Story
BeBe2 years old11 poundsChiweenieFostered in Lillington, NC Bebe is an adorable little Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) with a tender heart and a big love for her people. This sweet girl has been through a lot — she came to the shelter after her beloved owner passed away. She was found faithfully staying by their side, and while that loss has made her a bit cautious at first, it’s also shown just how deeply she bonds. Bebe can be a little skittish when meeting new people, and she’s still timid in unfamiliar situations. But give her a little reassurance, a soft voice, and some patience, and you’ll see her melt. Once she trusts you, she settles in beautifully and becomes the ultimate companion. She would thrive in a quiet, calm home where she can feel safe and secure. Because she likes to alert-bark at new or unfamiliar noises, an apartment or condo setting wouldn’t be the best fit for her. She’s mostly housetrained and does best with a consistent routine. Bebe would do well in a home with kids over 10 who understand how to be gentle and respectful. She’s fine with visiting younger children, especially when interactions are calm and supervised. She would absolutely love another playful dog to romp around with — or an active family who will happily toss a ball for her (her favorite game!).  And when playtime is over? Bebe is a huge snuggle bug. Her favorite place in the world is curled up in your lap, soaking up all the love. She’ll happily trade zoomies for cuddles in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, lap-loving companion who just needs a little patience to shine, Bebe may be your perfect match. Once you’re in her circle of trust, you’re there for life.  ##2662582##

Story
Elsa3 years10 poundsFostered in WendellTLDR: housetrained, gets along with dogs, could be an only dog, loves to play, good with kids over 8Meet your very own little snow queen — a playful, gentle soul with a touch of magic and a heart full of curiosity This sweet girl is absolutely obsessed with tennis balls and could happily chase them for hours, like she’s chasing snowflakes in her own enchanted kingdom. She thrives outdoors, soaking up the sunshine (and maybe dreaming of snowy adventures), making her a perfect fit for an active family.Just like her namesake, Elsa arrived during a snowstorm as a stray at an NC shelter — a fitting beginning for such a special girl. While her past is a mystery, she’s ready to let it go and start a bright new chapter with her forever family.Elsa enjoys the company of other dogs — big or small — and loves to play with her furry friends. She’d also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only, as long as her humans are ready to join in on the fun. When playtime winds down, she transforms into a cozy little snowflake, often dozing off in the cutest positions — sometimes even sitting upright mid-nap like she’s guarding her ice palace.She can be a bit shy at first and startles easily, but with a little patience and kindness, she quickly blossoms into a loving, playful companion. Once she trusts you, her warm heart shines through, proving that even a snow queen loves a good cuddle. One of her favorite games? Hide and seek — she’ll keep you smiling with her clever antics.Elsa is incredibly snuggly and will happily remind you that she belongs right by your side — especially if that means curling up on the couch like royalty.She walks beautifully on a leash, making adventures together easy and enjoyable. She’s mostly potty trained, though mornings can feel like a race against time. At night, she settles nicely in her crate with a cozy bed and blanket — her own little castle for sweet dreams.If you’re looking for a playful, slightly goofy, deeply affectionate companion with a hint of Frozen-inspired charm — a pup who just needs a little confidence and a lot of love — Elsa might be your perfect match. ##2639174##

Story
Miriam's Christmas wish came just a few days before Christmas when she entered the doors of a shelter. Surrendered by her homeless owner who could not provide the medical care she desperately needed and rescue was called to come to her rescue! This older black and tan gal was full of mammary tumors, in need of a spay (to stop the growth of said mammary tumors) and a significant dental. It has taken us some time to get her medical completed as she had to have a double mastectomy to remove all of the tumors - so that has required 2 major surgeries. Thankfully all tumors came back benign - the beginning of Miriam finding her new "leash" on life! But Miriam, in true dachshund fashion, has handled all of her medical care in stride! Miriam loves to be with her humans and enjoys lots of belly rubs and cuddles. She is good with small dogs, housebroken, good on a leash. She loves going outdoors for a short walk and to bark at birds, leaves and snowflakes. She prefers to sleep in the big bed with her humans and is a gold medal Olympic Champion at burrowing under the covers. Miriam is very food motivated. She is not tested with cats but can be upon request. No apartments or condos because Miriam does tend to like to hear herself "talk". She definitely will let you know if she feels her meal is late or if she deserves more treats. Not tested with children but would probably do fine with them. We are pleased to announce that Miriam’s veterinary coverage is partially by Vintage Fur Senior Dogs Inc! Miriam will receive $600 every year in veterinary coverage for the rest of her life. This money may be used to treat conditions and treatments including prescription medication, bloodwork, imaging and more. To learn more about the sponsorship, please contact Doxie By Proxy Rescue or visit https://www.vintagefur.org ##2661041##
