Story
Dozer is 2 years old with lots of energy. Trained on invisible fence and house trained. We are unable to keep him as he had knocked down my husband's elderly mother who lives with us and we are afraid she will get hurt. He is very affectionate and loves people and other animals.

Story
Captain is incredibly sweet, smart, sensitive, loyal and protective. My living situation has changed and my work schedule has increased, while he’s alone all day. He loves to run in the woods, go on walks (he’s great on a leash!) and snuggle. He is very attached and has some separation anxiety. He deserves someone who can spend more time with him. He can be territorial at the door, but is currently receiving training for that. He will need to be in a home where the training can be reinforced. He knows a lot of commands, and is happy when he has a job to do. He aims to please. It breaks my heart to re-home him, but I know he’d be happier with a family that has more time to be with him. He is free to a good home, including all his treats, bowls, food, toys, kennel, bed and leashes.

Story
Coco is a good dog. He loves playing with bouncing balls in the yard. House trained; can spend many hours inside the house without destroying anything. He gets along with our two daughters (8 yr and 14 month old). He is trained to walk on leash without pulling, but does react when he encounters unknown dogs. He will need a yard where he can run and play with his balls.

Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! These pets are NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue.  Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pets or apply to adopt these pets on the MPR website.  Contact mysweetboysrr@gmail.com for more information or to adopt the pets.RUGER, and his brother, REBEL, were adopted into our family at 8 weeks old from a private breeder.  They were born January 14, 2017. Their dad is German Shepherd, and their mom is Belgian Malinois.They are the best of buddies... Very closely bonded to each other, having never been apart, and, ideally, should remain together when they find their new furever home.They enjoy playing with each other and are extremely loving and affectionate with their human(s) including people that they encounter for the first time.Ruger says, "I am a lover boy. I like to greet you with a kiss on the hand. My favorite game is chasing (and ambushing) my brother while he is playing fetch with Mom. I like to give and receive hugs and enjoy walks on the leash.  Sometimes I get jealous of my brother, so I do best having my own space.  Mom and Dad partitioned our outdoor kennel so we can sleep and eat separately.  I really want to stay with my brother, since we have been best buddies since birth!"Rebel says:  "I am an expressive, playful and lovable boy. Play fetch with me, and you'll be my favorite person on the planet. I can jump really high, inside my kennel, when I get excited to see you. I like to take walks on the leash and sniff all the wonderful aromas around me.  I love to be hugged on and wrestled with. I enjoy running and playing with my brother around the yard and am also really happy when I can come inside the house on cold, damp days.  I am sweet and easy going and want to be your companion."Both boys have had little to no exposure or experience with cats and young children.  Both would do well with reward-based training for basic commands as they are very eager to please.  Both are trained to stay within the yard using the PetSafe Wireless Fence system.If you have a German Shepherd, you know how intelligent they are. But did you know they’re the third-smartest dog breed? Poodle and Border Collies have them beat in the brains department, but you’d never know it.Stanley Coren, author of the book “The Intelligence of Dogs,” states that German Shepherds will learn a new task after only five repetitions and respond to commands correctly 95% of the time. This explains why they’ve become so popular as police dogs.Contact me today at mysweetboysrr@gmail.com to learn more about sweet Rebel and Ruger. All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information. Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

Monica is an enthusiastic about life kinda gal who is super smart and loves her people and learning. She has a goofy fun-loving attitude and enjoys interacting with her person whether it be taking a walk, playing fetch, zooming around the play yard, or getting sweet snuggling - not necessarily in that order. Monica is affectionate, friendly, and outgoing. She is also highly food-motivated so training is a breeze, and she loves to show off her skills - so far she can sit, come, shake and fetch! Please do yourself (and Monica) a favor, come meet this clever, intelligent, affectionate, confident trainable good girl today!

Tyson is a big lug of a pup (weighing in at 73lbs) with a super friendly personality that shows he has never met a stranger. This boy is easy to manage on a leash and would love a family who has an active lifestyle. We could see Tyson leading the way hiking up to Purchase Nob this spring, then stopping off at a brewery before heading home where he could rest up for his next adventure with his family. If Tyson sounds like a good fit, give the Adoption Center a call so you can come meet this handsome fellow!

Walk with me, hike with me, or run with me. Put your hands on me, pet me from the tip of my nose to the end of my tail. Give me treats, give me a safe place to live, spend time with me, love me. In return, I will provide you with endless pleasure, amusement, joy and love. We can hike the hills, hang at our house, or how about a road trip to the Grand Canyon! I can enrich your life while you enrich mine, we could be 2 peas in a pod. You could teach me how to catch a Frisbee, I bet I`d be good at it. I can`t promise I won`t drink out of the toilet, inless it`s ok with you, it is at such a handy height. Please do both of us a favor and come meet me, I am ready to start creating memories with my forever family.
