Story
Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! This pet is NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue.  Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pet or apply to adopt this pet on the MPR website.  Contact 252-665-2512 or elliegcoles@gmail.com for more information or to adopt the pet.Zeus is a 40lb American Pitbull Terrier Mix. He is the most special and the sweetest boy you will ever meet! He loves to cuddle!! So much in fact that the first night we adopted him he snuggled into bed with us! He loves getting dressed up in outfits and getting tucked into a soft blanket - he is just an absolute cuddle bug. BUT that’s not to say he doesn’t have lots of energy. Zeus LOVES to play!! Zeus LOVES toys and playing around. His favorite game is tug of war! He absolutely loves being outside and running around. He loves to take walks and explore. He REALLY loves to run around an open field and chase birds! Zeus loves his people and loves so hard! Zeus has a very big personality and is truly a very special dog that will connect with you on a deep level. Zeus is so loyal and clingy, and all he wants to do is love and be loved. Although Zeus is full of love, he can also be a scaredy cat at times! When we adopted Zeus we were told he came from an abusive household. This can make him skittish, reactive and anxious at times. Since we have gotten Zeus, he has grown so much. However, he does still struggle with feeling anxious and that can lead to him being reactive. For example: loud noises, yelling, high-fiving or anything that mimics anything aggressive will concern him! For this reason, it is very important that Zeus goes to a home filled with lots of love, understanding and patience. He longs to feel safe, and that is the life we hope and dream someone can provide for him. Due to Zeus’ occasional reactive behavior and anxiety, it is best he goes to a home that has experience with dogs and not first time owners. We also do not know how he is around children as he has never been introduced to any. He doesn’t get along with cats. As far as behavior with others dogs, he seems to get along with most dogs. Zeus currently lives in a 1 animal household.Zeus really is an amazing dog and has SO MUCH LOVE to give! Even though he has had a troubled past, he is such a good boy and deserves every good thing in life. Our wish for Zeus is to find him a loving forever home with lots of space for him to run around and explore! If you have patience and are looking for a cuddle companion so full of love with a big personality - Zeus would be the perfect fit!Full disclosure: We are not giving up Zeus because of any of any fault of his own but, because of a family emergency, we have to move to a country where pitbulls are illegal to have :(. We are heartbroken as Zeus is our baby and deserves every good thing in the world!! We are really hoping someone can give him the happiest life possible! We will travel anywhere!Contact me today at 252-665-2512 or elliegcoles@gmail.com to learn more about sweet Zeus! All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information. Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

Story
Charlie is a well mannered tripod one-eyed boy who does great in a crate, and he’s house trained. While Charlie won’t make a good brewery dog, he does make a perfect nap companion and is content waiting at home for you to return. Charlie can be uncomfortable and intimidated by men and strangers, so it’s best he keeps his distance and wears a muzzle in public. He is absolutely wonderful in the car and loves, loves, LOVES car rides. Charlie gives the best kisses and he’s waiting to share his love with a family who can understand and respect his limits. Ideally, he would be the only critter in the home, with no kids or young children. He is a perfect, well-mannered boy who knows basic commands such as sit, come, and stay. Thanks to Charlie’s Behaviorist, Tiffany, he can now cohabitate with other respectful and size appropriate dogs, but will require slow integration. Charlie is a mellow, laid-back boy who is comfortable waiting at home for his people to return. He is house & crate trained, and would love nothing more than a chill movie day! We are determined to find Charlie his forever family, but we’re also realistic that that will take some time. For now, Charlie would love to enjoy some time with a foster family. He’ll need a family who can meet him where he’s at, respect his limitations, and commit to working with him through his obstacles. Charlie is such a good boy and he deserves the world! Reach out if you're interested in fostering or adopting this very special boy. Charlie is currently being fostered in Columbus, OH.

Story
Meet Beau! This playful young guy is looking for a forever family. At this time, he should be kept separated from other dogs in the home, and only older or no kids. Beau was previously very dog friendly, but in his last home experienced some issues with the other dog in the home and needs some time to decompress and feel safe. Beau has some classic teenager antics, and will benefit greatly from some positive training - we have some great local and virtual recommendations! If you're interested in fostering or adopting this goofy guy, reach out today! We would love to get him out of the Clubhouse and into a home. Beau is up to date on vaccines and neutered.
