Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Coal and Ziggy found themselves homeless after the passing of their owner in November 2024. They are sweet dogs who have been together since they were puppies and would thrive adopted together. Ziggy is quite active, while Coal is quieter. Coal is on arthritis medication and is mostly blind, and Ziggy has cataracts but can still see well. Both are neutered and up to date on their rabies vaccinations. The adoption fee is $100 for both dogs together.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it. December 22, 2024, 2:56 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Walker! 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. Walker is a cute shih-tzu/terrier mix boy who is full of energy and love!  When Walker and a few of his friends came to AAMR, he was curious and happy from the beginning!  He is sweet and energetic and grew up around a lot of dogs close to his size.  He is not a fan of larger dogs. He loves treats and tries really hard to listen, but with all that energy, sometimes it’s hard!  Walker, like most pups, would benefit from going to obedience classes, so he would meet new friends and learn how to behave properly.  It seems like most of what he knows, he has learned from other dogs. Although the pups had human contact, they do not seem to have had a lot of human ‘interaction’ such as learning their names, listening skills, or basic manners. Now he just needs some human instruction so he can learn how to be the best boy! Anyone who knows shih-tzus and little terriers knows they are super smart, a little wild and willful, and make the most loving little fur-buddies. A fenced yard is high on Walker’s wish list at a new home!  He loves to run around and explore, especially if he has another small pup to run with.  He learns his routine quickly but still does not have good enough recall to be allowed off-leash outside.  He had never seen a leash or harness prior to coming to foster care, so this has been a learning experience and we’re still working on it.  That sweet little face tells you all you need to know … he just needs a great, patient family to love him forever! Approximate age/birthdate:  ~April 2, 2022 Weight/size:  ~18 lbs Housebroken:  Working on it and doing well. Crate trained:  YES Personality: happy, curious, loving, a bit high strung and vocal (probably not the best fit for apartment/condo living) Energy level:  medium with bursts of high … he does need plenty of daily exercise Fenced yard required?:   Definitely preferred … it will make life easier for everyone if he has a safe, fenced area to run off some energy!  He must never be outside a fenced area off-leash. Does he/she jump fences?  NO Leash walk with manners:  Working on it … a leash was something he had never seen before coming to AAMR Obedience training:  None Riding in vehicles:  He is learning but still gets stressed and may drool a little      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  YES – dogs closer to his size.  He is not comfortable with larger dogs but so far has just tried to avoid them. Social with cats:  Has not been around cats in foster care, but we’re all betting he would like to playfully chase them Good with children:  Will probably be best with respectful, calm children ages 10 and up.  His energy level might be overwhelming for younger children. Adoption donation:  $200 All-American Mutt Rescue is 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 answering all the questions on the application completely.  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 Walker 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 feel free to email weluvpups@hotmail.com if you have additional questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 28, 2025, 12:55 pm
