Story
Maybel — short for Maybelline — is a stunning 10-month-old girl with the most striking blue eyes that look like she’s wearing perfect eyeliner all the time. At around 50 pounds, she’s the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet, affectionate companionship. She’s incredibly smart, eager to learn, and already doing wonderfully with potty training and leash training. Maybel is great with other dogs and has such a loving, gentle personality once she feels safe and comfortable. Like many rescue dogs, she can be a little hesitant around men at first, but with patience and kindness she quickly begins to open up and show her sweet, goofy side. Maybel is looking for a family that will continue helping her build confidence and show her that the world can be a safe, loving place. In return, she’ll give endless loyalty, cuddles, and those unforgettable blue-eyed stares.

Story
Meet Sweet Mama Moosh! For years, Sweet Mama Moosh has known what it means to survive—but not what it feels like to truly belong. This beautiful 4-5 year old girl spent her life on the streets, where neighbors watched her lovingly raise at least two litters of puppies. While she made sure her babies were safe, no one was there to make sure she was. She endured hunger, uncertainty, and even an injured paw, yet somehow never lost her gentle, loving heart. When we trapped her, the plan was simply to spay her and return her to the streets. But after spending time with her, we knew we couldn't do it. Sweet Mama Moosh is far too affectionate, trusting, and deserving of love to spend another day wondering where she'll sleep or if she'll have enough to eat. She has fought to survive long enough. Now it's her turn to be cared for. Today, her paw has completely healed, and she has blossomed into a happy, healthy, beautiful girl who is finally ready for the life she's always deserved. She is currently being fostered in Puerto Rico and is now spayed, vaccinated, up to date on preventatives, potty trained and crate trained! Such an amazing girl!! She adores gentle pets, leisurely walks, and never says no to a tasty snack. 🥹 She has lived alongside other dogs on the streets. While she'll politely correct a dog that gets too pushy, she has otherwise done well around other dogs. Right now, Sweet Mama Moosh needs someone willing to open their heart and home—whether that's through fostering, foster-to-adopt, or giving her the forever family she's never had. If you've ever thought about changing a dog's life, this is your chance. Sweet Mama Moosh has spent years giving everything she had to survive and to care for others. Now she's simply asking for someone to choose her. Please help us give this sweet girl the ending she's waited her whole life for. ❤️

Story
This is Lady! She is a rescue that we adopted about 2 years ago. She loves people and animals, but has a couple of things that slow her down, the first being that she has a bad eye and the second being her back legs have a defect that she has genetically. She had surgery on one leg that ended up not taking so her legs are still about the same. She has a hard time on hardwood/tile but gets around okay other than that! Lady is extremely tolerant of children and still loves to play tug of war and run around despite her difficulties. The main reason we are posting her is that we want her to be able to live a full and happy life and fear with multiple children and a small yard we will not be able to give her that.

Story
It is time for Pongo to find a family to call his own - this boy is simply amazing and don't let him being deaf hold you back - I always say that deaf dogs are some of the smartest dogs and he is indeed a very smart boy. Pongo came to us in September with a fractured leg that required a specialist to repair and now you would never know anything every happened to him - of course Dr. Crouch and his staff did an amazing job - Pongo was not to happy about the strict crate rest for 8 weeks - but we managed and then it was time to neuter him and he did great for that as well. Pongo is 8 months old and weighs 40 pounds - we do not believe he will get much bigger - he is an Aussie Mix with those ice blue eyes and again he is deaf. We would prefer a fenced in yard for him as he loves to run his zoomies outside. Pongo does great with other dogs and is currently not fostered with cats - while he was recovering from his orthopedic surgery he was fostered with cats but because he was not allowed to roam freely due to healing , he never had many interactions with them - he acted curious about them but never showed any signs of aggression - this boy loves to play ball and actually loves all his toys - he is still a puppy and does have a lot of energy. His one quirk - if you want to call it that - is he can't be kenneled in a wire crate - he will chew his way out - an airline crate or impact crate is needed as we do recommend crating him if you work or leave the house for a bit as he is a puppy and will look for something to get into - he whines a little when first crated but quits quickly as he realizes he has toys in there. He is a HUGE people dog and loves every single person he meets. He is a curious boy which is not uncommon for deaf dogs - he does great on a leash and is house trained and crate trained. Pongo is current on his core vaccines, has had a full bloodwork panel done, current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention , dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $250.00 As a reminder all of our dogs are in private foster homes throughout Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina - we do not have a facility and we do not board our dogs - the first step in our adoption process is filling out our adoption application which can be found on our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org - once the application is received and reviewed (if there are other animals in the home we do vet references and require all animals in the home to be spayed/neutered - unless there is a medical reason they can't be - up to date on vaccines and current on monthly heartworm prevention ) and then the foster will get in touch with the potential adopter - if both parties feel like it could be a good fit - we would set up a meet and greet - we never do adoptions on the spot - we do a 7-14 day trial run before finalizing any adoption to make sure it is the right fit for the dog and the family Let's find this amazing boy the perfect forever home - he is so deserving and is going to bring a lot of smiles and happiness to some very lucky family

Story
Our boy Charlie is ready to find his forever home.. And boy is amazing. Born on May 15th 2025 - he is the perfect age - full of life, love and personality. He is your typical young boxer (though I say they never grow up) He is 66 pounds and such a handsome boy Charlie does well with other dogs of all sizes - he was a little intimidated by the bigger dogs at first, but has learned that they can be fun as well. He loves his toys. He has been around cats and wants to chase and play with them , not in an aggressive way at all, just playful moves. He is crate trained and housebroken and is going to make an amazing addition to some very lucky family. Boxers are amazing family dogs and Charlie is no different and is going to be a huge blessing to some very lucky family. As most remember , Charlie came to us with a severe blockage that required major surgery and a week of being hospitalized - he of course has made a full recovery from that and blossomed under his amazing fosters care (thank you Donna and Michael). We do feel Charlie would do better with a fenced in yard as well as sometimes noises can spook him a little He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, has been 4DX Heartworm tested and is current on prevention, microchipped and he comes with a face that you can't help but fall in love with. Charlie's adoption fee is a $250.00 donation to the Anna's Hope Veterinary Clinic Community Fund . If you are interested in adopting Charlie - please go to our website www.annashopevetclinic.com and fill out the adoption application. We do not set up meet and greets until the adoption application has been filled out and reviewed. And all of our dogs are in private foster homes throughout Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.
