My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Meet Rizzo — the brindle beauty with a heart full of love!**
This one-year-old Dachshund mix came to Clifford’s Army Rescue Extravaganza as an owner surrender, but he’s ready to start a brand-new chapter with a forever family.

Rizzo is:
- About 23 lbs
- Great with other dogs
- Loves all people
- Housetrained
- A snuggle bug who adores being close to his humans
- Rocking a gorgeous brindle coat

He may have lost his first home, but he hasn’t lost his spirit — and he’s ready to give his heart to someone new.

**Adoption Recommendations & Procedures**
We evaluate each application individually to ensure the best match for every dog.

**Recommendations:**
- Small breeds (like Rizzo): Children should be at least 8 years old
- Puppies: Children should be at least 6
- Herding/working breeds: Children should be at least 12

**Procedures:**
- Must be 21+ to adopt
- No adoptions to college students
- Physical home visits only (within 2 hours of Cleveland County, NC)
- Fenced yards required for certain dogs
- Apartment living approved on a case-by-case basis
- All current pets must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vet care
- Adoption contract required — if you can’t keep the dog, they must return to the rescue

**Adoption Fee:** $325 — includes all vetting, vaccinations, microchip, and neuter

We do require an adoption application, references, veterinarian references, and a home check. Upon completing review of application and homecheck, a meet and greet will be scheduled to determine if the dog you have applied for is a good fit with you. At the time of adoption, a contract is required for you to sign. Adoption fee is $250 unless otherwise stated.

More about this rescue

We are a 501c3 all volunteer non profit animal rescue. We not only save animals from our local kill shelter, but from such free sites as one man's junk, and craigs list. We receive literally hundreds of calls each month asking for help also. We believe all lives matter and try to help each and every animal in need, sick, injured, elderly, abandoned, whatever the need.
We rely solely on contributions for generous people and fundraisers..
