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
Meet Charlie -- an almost 2 year old chiweenie that is full of personality! Charlie first came into our rescue as a 6 month old puppy that had been obtained answering a Craigslist ad when he was just 6 weeks old. Because poor Charlie was pulled from his litter too soon and perhaps because he was never properly socialized -- we have worked hard with Charlie in the last year on socalization and training as he has been fostered by a professional dog trainer (who happens to also be one of his biggest fans). Charlie is a total lovebug 99% of the time (and actually in the right home, 100% of the time) and just needs a good home prepared to offer him the structure he needs! Charlie loves his person and other dogs -- and even does well with cats. Charlie takes some time to warm up to new people and just needs someone that will give him space when it is needed. Charlie does have a previous bite history -- bites that are understandable when you understand how sensitive Charlie is in moments of stress and anxiety. Charlie LOVES to do zoomies and loves to play with other small dogs. He is quite the comedian! He has thrived with his trainer -- who will help with his transition into a new home and will be available to assist Charlie's new adopters. Charlie is housetrained, crate trained and leash trained -- and has learned so much during his training with his foster home. Because of Charlie's previous history, we think that it is best if he not go to a home with children under 10 years of age.  Ironically Charlie can be quite the life of the party -- and can make you laugh so hard! He makes silly sounds, entertains himself with toys and loves to snuggle up in your lap for snuggles. Some of his quirks might be lifelong (but let's be honest -- we all have our quirks). We are so hoping that Charlie's forever home is out there with a Charlie size hole in their heart. We know how much love this boy has to give and we are looking forward to finding that home that is seeking a "diamond in the ruff" that they can watch continue to bloom! Charlie is current on vetting, neutered and microchipped -- waiting on his forever home to pop up any day now! ##1789418##

Story
Lily arrived to us a few months ago as a hot mess express.  Lily was underweight, dehydrated, a gaping wound on her hip, a gash on her neck, a hernia, a mammary mass & terrible teeth.  Her first few weeks were resting up, gaining weight and preparing for needed surgeries.  Lily did just that!  Lily is hardly recognizable from the day she arrived to us.  We think Lily is 9ish years old.   Lily first underwent a hernia repair & mammary mass removal in December.  Both surgeries were successful!  After a biopsy, we learned that the mammary tumor is a Grade I, low, carcinoma.  While an unfortunate diagnosis, Lily's prognosis is great.  She only has a 3.4% recurrent or metastasis rate.  The surgeon got clear margins on the mass removal.  Additionally, there are few to no reported deaths from this low Grade I (with 38 months of monitoring).  What does this mean?  Lily will hopefully cross the rainbow bridge years down the road from regular senior dogs stuff & enjoy a lovely life!  There are not guarantees of course, but Lily is a happy & social girl very deserving of a fabulous home.  Lily has had bloodwork & a chest x-ray, neither of which show or support any indication of spreading.  We are happy to discuss her diagnosis and the prognosis further.   In January, Lily had an extensive dental where she lost 19 teeth.  This was likely the greatest improvement to her overall health & she has recovered well.  In a perfect world, Lily may not need another dental, particularly if some dental care is provided at home.   Outside her health improvements, Lily suffered from some separation anxiety in her early days.  We also learned Lily does not love the crate.  That has improved tremendously, in part to the hard work by her foster mom!  We discovered Lily needs another fur companion as we believe her foster brother helped her overcome some of that anxiety.  Lily also needs a family that is at least in & out during the day.  Her foster mom does have a flexible schedule so they have built up to a few hours of alone time (with her foster brother).  We think these two combinations are best for Lily. Lily also loves to walk!  Her foster mom has kept her active, even during her recovery periods by taking Lily in a stroller.  As Lily has recovered from each surgery, she is back to walking!  Her foster mom reports she walks about a mile with ease, so we are hopeful she lands in a home that will continue to get her out for walks. Lily is a gentle soul but we have not exposed her to kids.  We are happy to discuss a home with kids but it is unlikely Lily is suitable for a home with small children.   Lily is spayed, UTD on vaccines and microchipped.  Lily is fostered in Raleigh.  Lily's adoption fee is $300. ##2283055##

Story
Bonded Pair – ONLY ADOPTED TOGEHER   Taylor (female) 9 years old, 14 poundsTravis (male) 11 years old, 10 poundsFostered in LaGrange, NC Short version: Friendly with everyone, sweet as pie, good with dogs, housetrained, leash trained, loves to ride in the car When you first lay eyes on this adorable “Red” dynamic duo, we promise that you will start singing “You Belong with Me”. These dogs are just that special and just that amazing. Don’t be fooled their age – they both get the zoomies multiple times a day and LOVE to play.  We are pretty sure that they think that they are “22” in dog years. And you will get to have a front row seat to their very own “Love Story”, which is super adorable and heartwarming.  These pups are some of the most bonded we’ve run across with absolutely no “Bad Blood” between them. Taylor and Travis are absolutely in love with each other and constantly in their own “Lavender Haze.” They sleep together, kiss each other and pretty much move as one dog with no “Blank Space” between them. These pups are pretty much perfect, beyond your “Wildest Dreams.” They are sweet with people and some of the friendliest fosters we’ve run across. And when you come home, Taylor actually sings out of happiness – no, we are not making that up. But both give you at least 87 kisses to celebrate your arrival – you are always Super Bowl Champs in their eyes. They just “Shake it Off” and jump back into showing you, their adoration. If you are looking for a pair to bring with you on adventures, these pups are the perfect fit, and you will be forever showered with good “Karma.”  They love going in the car. They do great on the leash. They love EVERYONE. And are “Fearless” of new people. Their foster mom takes them visiting to a local nursing home multiple times a week and if she doesn’t bring them the residents ask where they are! They love to snuggle with anyone and everyone. Over the holiday, they met many kids and would do great in a home with kids over 5 and would be great with visiting little ones, such as grandkids. Taylor and Travis had a rough life up till now, “Long Story, Short” – but you would never know it. Their former owner let them run loose through rural NC for years until they landed in our arms. And we were so thankful they did – both dogs were tremendous pain when we got them – Travis from one of the worst ear infections we’ve seen and Taylor peeing blood from a raging UTI. Both were in pain from rotten teeth and Travis had an untreated heart issue (more on that later). But we’ve gotten them both nursed back to health, and they are ready to start their new leash on life. Taylor is spayed, had a dental, UTD on shots, HW negative and no known health issues. Travis is neutered, had a dental, UTD on shots and heartworm negative. He has a grade 4 out of 6 heart murmur and had a full cardio workup. He takes two medications daily, which coast approximately $70 total when ordered online. Travis and Taylor are fostered in LaGrange, NC and their new family will need to travel to adopt – no transports. We prefer families in NC, VA, SC, eastern TN, northern GA, WV, southern MD and WV.
