Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Debo loves to lounge around in his favorite bed and watch his siblings play. At 10 years old, he still has lots of life left, Consider adding this boy to your pack   *The adoption fee for this dog is $100  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. September 30, 2023, 10:16 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Gizmo and here are some things you need to know about me!  After you read through my bio, if you think I might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete your adoption application online.  If you can't adopt me, but would like to help, please consider making a donation to AAMR in my name to help with my extended needs in foster care.Gizmo is special.  He needs special care, lots of patience and lots of love.  Special pups need special heroes. Mr. Gizmo is a big personality in a little body!  He was surrendered by an owner to a public shelter. They had him for several years after they found him inside a dumpster … so we know his life has been a mix of really good and awful.  He is happy to be out of the shelter and into foster care because he really does want to be near people. A typical Chihuahua, Gizmo has some ‘small dog syndrome’ issues … because he has been allowed to behave badly.  He is a typical chihuahua barker and will not be the best apartment/condo/townhome resident. He wants to be with and near people, but only on his terms.  He protests loudly when you try to pick him up.  He will growl and sound very vicious and, yes, he will bite. He is also on an anti-anxiety medication which has seemed to help a little.  If you talk sternly to him, he will show his teeth and growl.  We see a pup who has been allowed to ‘bully’ his people, and it is going to take to take a strong, determined, consistent new adopter to help break these bad habits.  He is a toy hoarder and will guard his food so he will not be the best companion for another dog that likes to play with toys.  And, it is quite a challenge to get a harness on him to go for a walk, so having a fenced yard is a 'must' for him.  (Small dogs should never be walked with just a collar and leash due to potential damage to the trachea.)  This boy sure needs a wonderful family to love him and help him become a happier boy.  Are you willing to be the hero who gives him a chance? Approximate age/birthdate:  born ~2014 Weight/size: 9 lbs Housebroken:  YES (as long as you can get him outside often) Crate trained:  YES (he is not a fan of being crated, but once he is in, he is fine) Personality: cautious, curious,big personality but wants to be boss, vocal (a great alarm system) Energy level:  medium to low ... he is busy trying to watch everything in every room, but he isn't rowdy Fenced yard required?:   YES definitely.  If he gets outside a fenced area off-leash, he will be a flight risk.  He should never be off-leash outside unless he is inside a securely fenced area.  Getting a harness on him to go for a walk can be tricky (he does like to bite), but small dogs should never be walked with just a collar and leash due to potential trachea damage. Does he/she jump fences?  NO Leash walk with manners:  YES Obedience training:  Knows ‘sit’ Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  YES Social with cats: Cats get his attention and he would love to chase them. Good with children:  NO 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 home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Gizmo 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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Aurora and here are some things you need to know about me:Aurora is a furry bundle of wiggles.  She is lots of fun, and she can be very intense if she believes she needs to be ‘on duty.’  The key to keeping this girl happy is letting her know YOU have everything under control and she just needs to chill.  She has, on occasion, tried to ‘be the boss’ and it has not worked out well.  She lost her last home because she and another pup in the house were repeatedly trying to settle who was going to be ‘top dog.’ She is cute and has enough energy that she will really enjoy being part of an active family who will include her in all the family fun! She is also very smart and learns very quickly. Approximate age/birthdate:  April 8, 2016 Weight/size: ~20 lbs Housebroken:  YES (as long as you do your part and take her out regularly) Crate trained:  YES Personality: happy, active, easy to excite Energy level: medium Fenced yard required?:  YES (no underground/electric fences) … she likes to roam around in a safe area but would be a flight risk in an unfenced area Does he/she jump fences?  NO Leash walk:  YES Obedience training:  No, but she does listen, but will not always come when called (and that is why she requires a fenced yard) Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  When introduced properly she seems to do well with most dogs who behave well, especially male dogs.  She can be dog selective and she can be a bit competitive for her person’s attention.  She would be very happy as an only dog.  Social with cats:  NO cats please. She does have prey drive. Good with children: Will probably be ok with older (10 and over), calm, respectful children. Adoption donation: $175 If you think Aurora might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete your adoption application online. 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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Max (or Maxey if you prefer)! 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. Max is a little puzzle … a chorkie (Chihuahua/yorkie mix) … with some definite opinions about life and how things should go!  He is absolutely precious, and he is fine being around people and other dogs similar to him in size … as long as you are willing to live by his ‘code of conduct.’  He is really smart, and he definitely understands that everything he enjoys (food, treats, toys, etc.) comes from people … but he doesn’t care for said people touching him or picking him up.  And don’t expect it to change.  He lived with one person for almost 7 years, and the attitude did not change.  If he wants something from you, he will come to you and ask for it, but all the ‘no touch’ rules still apply.  He really wants to stay where he can see his person, but ‘seeing’ is good enough for him. If you want him to go with you, drop a slip lead on him and he will go! Life with Max will also be much simpler if his home has a securely fenced yard so he can get outside to go potty.  He learns new routines very quickly, too. So … if you’re looking for a new cuddlebug, Max is NOT your guy.  If you’re looking for a furry friend as a low-maintenance companion, he could be the perfect boy for you.  Adults only, please … no little ones who might forget and break his ‘no touch’ rules! Approximate age/birthdate:  April 4, 2015 Weight/size: 13 lbs Housebroken:  YES (as long as you do your part and get him out regularly) Crate trained:  YES Personality:  a bit stand-offish, alert, wants things his way, serious Energy level:  medium Fenced yard required?:   YES – a fenced yard will make life with Max so much easier Does he/she jump fences?  NO Leash walk with manners:  YES Obedience training:  NO Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  YES although he prefers other pups closer to his size Social with cats: Has not been around cats in foster care Good with children:  No children please.  He is unpredictable and would likely bite if touched. Adoption donation: $75 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.

Mylo is a sweet senior boy who is looking for a new forever home.  Mylo came to AAMR originally when his owner became ill and could not care for him.  He was adopted into a new home where he was loved so much, but fast forward a few years and his new Mom passed away.  Fast forward a few more years and his Dad became seriously ill, and Mylo was returned to AAMR when Dad could no longer care for his beloved pets. So you can see that this sweet, sensitive boy has had his share of heartbreak in his life, and he has known a lot of loved.  He is still active and loving and ready to find a very special family to love him through his golden years.  Could that be you? Here are some very important things you need to know about Mylo Approximate age/birthdate:  June 30, 2012 Weight/size: 16 lbs Housebroken:  YES as long as you do your part and take him out regularly Crate trained:  YES Personality: a little reserved at first but sweet and loving Energy level:  medium  Fenced yard required?:   Definitely preferred.  He should never be outside of a fenced area without being on a leash and harness.
