Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi … my name is Dillon! Read my 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. If you are not able to adopt, please consider donating to AAMR in my name to help with my extended care in rescue. Special needs pups are just that ... special ... and they just need special heroes to come to their rescue.  Have you tried on your hero cape lately? We don’t know a lot about Dillon's early life other than a Good Samaritan took him in to keep him safe after he appeared to have been abandoned on a rural road.  His Good Sam said he sat in one spot on the road for several days and appeared to be waiting for his ‘ride’ to come back to get him.  After about 4 days, he gave up and went looking for food and water, which he found in her garage!We do know that Dillon has some social anxiety issues and he can go from happy to distraught and nippy in situations with multiple people moving around in an area.  He has always done fine in his original foster home, but had a few 'incidents' in an adopting home, and he was returned to AAMR.  It is sad because Dillon is a very sweet and loving little guy ... until his anxiety takes over.  'Stranger Danger' is very real to him and in his mind, he needs to protect himself. We are not really sure of Dillon’s breed mix.  He has a dachshund-like body (long and low) with the head of a tiny yellow lab!  Dillon really deserves a family who wants to help him develop some confidence and some manners so he can be the lucky dog he is meant to be.  He is very excitable and vocal when left alone for too long and will not be the best apartment resident.  Dillon's wish list includes 1) a fenced yard, 2) an low-key, settled family willing to spend time with him and accept his limitations and 3) people to cuddle with every day who will teach him how to be the best boy ever.  Could that be you?Dillon does well with most other dogs, so having another confident, friendly dog in the home may be good for him.  Absolutely no children in the home.  If there are children visiting the home, it will be best to give Dillon a safe, out-of-the-way area to rest in his crate while the children are around.  They make him very anxious.Please read the rest of Dillon's bio below so you can learn more about him.Approximate age/birthdate: ~ early 2015 Weight/size:  ~25 lbs Housebroken:  YES ... as long as you do your part and let him outside often  Crate trained:  YES Personality:  happy, playful, guarded in new situations, wary of new people and animals, anxious about too much activity around him Energy level:  medium    Fenced yard required?:   YES – he definitely needs a safe place to run off excess energy.  A physical fence is required so someone could not just wander in and trigger his anxiety. Does he/she jump fences?  NO  Leash walk:  YES  Obedience training:  Yes, a previous owner took him to class and we know he is very smart. Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK      Spayed/neutered:   YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES Microchipped:   YES Social with other dogs:  Somewhat ... once properly introduced.  He gets excited when meeting new dogs and does not like dogs getting in his face.  He will growl if a new dog gets in his face.  Once he has time to properly meet a new dog, he generally does fine.    Social with cats:  Do not know … has not been around cats. We think he would chase them if they ran, but not sure if he would try to harm them. Good with children:  No Children ... he has nipped at 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 meet-and-greet to see if Dillon 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 email AAMR at weluvpups@hotmail.com if you have additional questions.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 1:59 pm

Story
Harley (female) 7 years 13 lbs Located in Raleigh area AKA: Harley Quinn, Lil Miss Priss (or Piss ), Missus, Sis/Sister, Miss Chevious Short list: Must be an only dog, working on housetraining, leash trained, crate trained, no cats, no kids under 10, eats prescription food for past GI issues Harley is a 13-pound diva with a big personality and even bigger feelings. She follows commands beautifully… but always makes sure to add her own commentary at the end. Yes, in true dachshund style, she's professional barker so no apartments or condos for this gal. Harley is a little anxious at times but endlessly gentle and loving. A gentle soul with a flair for the dramatic, Harley absolutely lives for affection (her fur is impossibly soft and she knows it). She’s a certified Velcro dog and an undisputed lovebug —if you sit down, expect company. If you lie down, expect to lose half the bed. Minimum. Harley is deeply devoted to her person and can be protective of her people from other dogs. We are looking for a home where she is the only dog. That said, she is not dog-reactive and does just fine seeing other dogs on walks or at the vet—she simply prefers to be the sole recipient of your attention. She is also not a fan of cats, so she needs a cat free home. She is also working on house training and will dramatically flop onto her belly if she thinks she’s in trouble (a consummate actress). Her new family should expect accidents and be prepared to continue working on housetraining. Harley eats well and has a history of GI issues, which are well managed with prescription food that keeps her feeling her best. Harley also had bladder stones in her past and had surgery so her new family will need to keep an eye out for urinary issues in the future. She is spayed, UTD on shots, heartworm negative, had bloodwork, had a dental, and microchipped. Harley is fostered in the Raleigh area and her new family must drive to her foster home to adopt - no transports. We prefer to adopt to families in VA, SC, NC, DC area, eastern TN, northern GA and WV. To apply to adopt, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/application She’ll steal your spot, your blanket, and your whole heart—then bark once more, just to be sure you noticed. ##2623086##

Story
Meet Cook Out — your adventure-loving sidekick! Cook Out is a 3-year-old Dachshund/Beagle mix with a big personality packed into a perfect 20-pound frame. He was found hanging out in a Quality Inn parking lot (clearly waiting for his forever family) and is now ready to trade motel life for a cozy home of his own. This little guy loves to play and would thrive in a dog-savvy home with another higher-energy dog who’s ready to be his built-in best friend. Cook Out is smart, enthusiastic, and always up for fun—whether that’s a game of chase, a car ride, or heading out on a new adventure. He’d make an awesome hiking partner and will happily hop in the car to go wherever the day takes you. Cook Out does have a few quirks that make him extra special. He has some resource guarding tendencies (he likes the guard the lap of the individual he is snuggling at the time), so he’s looking for a home experienced with mild behavior challenges. The good news? He comes with free training in the Greensboro area to help set everyone up for success—Cook Out included! In the home, Cook Out is a rockstar: Crate trained Leash trained Great with cats Super friendly and polite when out and about If you’re looking for a wicked smart, playful, and loyal companion—and you enjoy working with a dog who will keep you on your toes—Cook Out might just be your perfect match. Ready to bring home a pup with personality, brains, and a love for adventure? Cook Out is waiting to meet you!  ##2547111##

FritzDouble Dapple DachshundFostered in Sanford3 years old17 pounds Short list: Friendly, velcro dog, Good with kids over 8, limited sight, limited hearing, could be only dog, working on housetraining, cannot do stairs, no apartments, on slow kill treatment for heartworms Fritz is one of the happiest, most affectionate little guys we’ve ever met. Found wandering in eastern NC, this special double dapple boy hasn’t let his rough start—or his disabilities—dim his joy for life. Because he’s a double dapple, Fritz has limited vision and hearing, which just means he experiences the world a little differently… and bonds very deeply with his people. He doesn’t just follow you — he super-glues himself to you. If he can’t find you, he’ll bark to let you know (which is why apartments and condos won’t work). Once reunited, he’ll immediately melt into your lap and fall asleep. Cold nights? Loneliness? Not in 2026.Fritz sleeps through the night, loves the big bed, and is an A+ snuggle partner who never steals the covers. Despite his vision challenges, Fritz enjoys walks, plays with other dogs, and has even discovered toys. However, Fritz can resource guard, especially over his person. He will need to be an only dog or with a family who can manage the resource guarding. He’ll need a stair-free home (or one where stairs can be blocked off and he can be carried), and a laid-back dog pack that’s welcoming and gentle. H Potty training is a work in progress — he does well on a schedule and uses both outside time and pee pads. Pro tip: if Fritz barks “out of nowhere,” he’s probably politely asking to go potty. Fritz is neutered and has had a dental cleaning. He’s UTD, microchipped, and had bloodwork. Because he is heartworm positive, we have started him on the slowkill treatment for heartworms and the rescue will pay for it until he tests negative. Fritz is looking for a homebody or work-from-home family who wants a loyal companion, understands his special needs, and is ready to start the New Year with a dog who will love them with his whole heart. Make 2026 the year you find your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your best friend. Fritz is ready for his new life!  ##2603793##

Story
Tanner Chiweenie9 years (ish)12 pounds Fostered in Raleigh area  Tanner is a 9-year-old male Chiweenie with a heart of gold and a serious love for laps. Found as a stray, he’s clearly decided that the best place to be is right next to his people—preferably touching at all times. Everyone who meets this little dude instantly falls in love with his sweet personality. He is happy all the time, but the absolute happiest when with his people.  This affectionate boy loves being petted and will happily soak up all the attention you can offer. He enjoys daily walks, is great on a leash, and makes an excellent companion for both gentle adventures and cozy couch days. Tanner would be fine with a working family and is content relaxing while his people are away, as long as he gets his cuddle time when they’re home. Tanner would do best in a quiet home and is not a good fit for families with children under 8, as he prefers calm surroundings . He is not suited for apartment living due to his security guard tendancies, especially Amazon drivers. He would be perfectly happy as an only dog, but can also live with the right calm, lower-energy canine companion. We have not tested him with cats, but am happy to cat test. Tanner is crate trained and housetrained - he will even ask to go outside. And if there is an open lap in the house, this boy plops himself right into it.  Dog-wise, Tanner does well with other small and medium dogs who are calm or lower energy. He prefers a relaxed crowd and isn’t a fan of high-energy dogs who don’t respect his chill vibe. Tanner is neutered, UTD, heartworm negative and microchipped. Tanner has had an extensive dental and has no teeth left, but don’t let that fool you—it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He eats well and continues to enjoy life to the fullest. He also has a grade 3 heart murmur and has had an echocardiogram, which showed that he does not currently need medication—just routine monitoring. And yes, his ears are unique - he had vasculitis in the past on his ears, but it is not active and just needs to be monitored.  Tanner is fostered in Raleigh, NC and his new family will need to drive to adopt him, no transports. We prefer families in NC, VA, SC, eastern TN, northern GA, WV and DC area. To get the process started of adopting this fabulous dog, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/application.  If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, low-key companion who will stick by your side, Tanner might just be your perfect match. ##2634089##
