Story
Meet Tigger! Tigger is a lovable, energetic pup with a heart as big as his bouncy personality! This sweet boy is fantastic with kids, making him a wonderful companion for a family looking for a fun-loving, affectionate friend. One of Tigger’s favorite things in the world is car rides—open the door and he’s ready to go! He’s also a treat enthusiast, especially when peanut butter is involved. Offer him a PB snack and you’ll have a best friend for life. At home, Tigger prefers the comfort of a cozy bed over a crate, and he’d love nothing more than to snuggle up after a day of play. Speaking of play… this guy has lots of energy! A fenced yard and even a canine playmate would be ideal to help him burn off his zoomies and enjoy the active lifestyle he adores. If you’re looking for a joyful, kid-friendly companion who brings excitement, cuddles, and pure happiness to every day, Tigger might just be your perfect match!    Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you.

Story
Nod is neutered Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix born about February 2024. He was found as a stray (Nod is a biblical name that means “wanderer”) and is being fostered by a very nice family who have become fond of him. Unfortunately their dog doesn’t like sharing the home, so they can’t keep him but will foster until Nod gets a good home. He loves to snuggle and not at all a “wild” terrier. He is house trained, leash trained, good with dogs, seems to ignore cats, and is very happy. Adoption fee is $95.    This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina.     Optional transport is weekly.  After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.December 15, 2025, 4:32 pm

Meet Uno! *Please read full bio before inquiring.* Cross-posted. Breed: JRT/chihuahua mix. Age: approx 2 years (8/25/23). Weight: est 24ish lbs. Training: crate trained, it's his safe place. House trained when on a schedule. He isn't leash trained. Good with other dogs/cats? Yes to dogs, no to cats. Good with adults/kids? Adults/kids he knows, yes. Only kids 10+. Personality: loves his people. He loves sunbathing and being a couch potato, and overall snuggling. He is scared of thunderstorms. Reason for rescue: Uno has been much loved, but unfortunately it is best for him to find a home with kids 10 years +. Uno loves his people with his whole heart. He is very loyal to his people. He doesn't do well with strangers coming into his home/yard. He would do best with a fenced yard. He has been trained on an invisible fence and it works well for him. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. If interested in adding Uno to your family, please message for an adoption application! Adoption fee: $75.September 16, 2025, 9:50 pm
