Story
Reintroducing Pluto, an 8-month-old Shih Tzu with a calm and gentle nature. Pluto came to our local shelter as an owner surrender and has been in foster care for over two months. In that time, his true personality is just starting to emerge. Pluto isn’t your typical puppy—he has very little energy and doesn’t constantly seek out affection. It’s almost as if the world around him is a bit overwhelming, and he prefers to simply coexist rather than be in the center of attention. He’s the type of dog who will take a while to come out of his shell, and during that time, he may seem indifferent. Though Pluto enjoys the company of other dogs, he’s not one to actively seek playtime or interaction. He’s calm and content, and his ideal companion would respect his space while offering a quiet presence. Because of his more reserved nature, we feel that young children could be too overwhelming for him. What Pluto truly seeks is a peaceful, quiet home—one where he can curl up on a lap when he wants attention but can also have his space. He’s looking for someone who understands his temperament and is patient as he continues to adjust to his new surroundings. While Pluto is undeniably adorable, he requires a very specific type of home, and not all families may be the right fit. If you’re seeking a low-energy, laid-back companion, Pluto might just be the perfect addition to your home.

Story
Meet this handsome young boy, Bogart. Bogart is typical shih-tzu with all that personality! He of course likes to be in charge. He is two years old and 20 pounds. He is looking for a family who understands his breed, no small children, and possibly another doggie to play with. If you think he might be the boy for you, then please continue to read and fill out our online application. RECOMMENDATIONS & PROCEDURES Please note, the following are recommendations for puppies and different breeds of dogs. We will evaluate each application on an individual basis to see what is best for the dog/puppy and the potential adopter. Puppies are very fragile and not toys. We recommend children be at least six years old to be considered to adopt a puppy. Small breed dogs ( such as chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus , etc) we recommend children be at least eight years old. Herding, working breeds we recommend children to be at least 12 years old. Again these are recommendations. Adoption Procedures: We will travel up to two hours ( one way) to do physical home visits and we do not do virtual home visits. Most of our dogs come from bad situations and we want to know where their forever home is going to be. While we do not require fencing on all dogs, certain dogs that need a fenced in yard, will not be adopted unless potential adopter has one. We also adopt some dogs to people who live in apartments ( as long as the landlord approves) but not all dogs. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age. We also do not feel college students are the best fit for most of our dogs. Most of our dogs again, come from bad situations and need lots of attention. Most college students have financial responsibilities and we feel need to be focused on school. Our goal is to match the dog with a family that fits the dog’s needs. We are solely focused on what is best for each dog in our rescue. These dogs have had enough moving around, dumped out like trash, and we want to ensure they find their forever home. We do require you sign a contract and if at any time you cannot continue to provide for the dog, the dog comes back to the rescue. Your first step to adoption is filling our our on line application. You will then get an automated email stating we got your application Next our adoption coordinator will be in touch either by phone or email If your references check out, a home visit will be scheduled. After the home visit is done, a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in and/or any other available dogs we have will be scheduled If the dog and you are a match, contract will be signed and you may take your new family member home.

Story
Teddy is a sweet senior who turned up at a local shelter as a stray.  We think he is about 10yrs old.  Teddy is visually impaired, but doesn't let that stop him from getting around.  He is still adjusting to his foster home and as he settles in he gets comfortable cuddling.  Teddy is good with other dogs and cats.  Due to his age and vision, we don't recommend a home with very young children.  He his working on his housetraining as he continues to acclimate to his new foster home.  Finding himself in the shelter at his age has been tough on Teddy - he will need an adopter who is willing to let him adjust to his new environment.  Your patience will be rewarded with a new best friend.     Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you. The first step to adopting is to fill out an application for adoption. Once approved we will arrange a time for you to meet the animal you are interested in. If it is a match the adoption can then be completed and you can take home your new furry family member. If it is not a match we will file your approved application and you can wait till you find the perfect match. ##2264982##
