Story
Hi my name is Annabell Grace and I'm a two and half year old teeny tiny 45 lb. american pit bull mix. I was trapped in a field with my sister and taken to the scary shelter.  I was a nervous nelly in the shelter and am so glad this nice rescue came and got me.  I am loving my new life outside the shelter in my foster home!  My days are spent lounging on the couch, I am a couch potato and proud of it! I do not like to be confined in small spaces so I also enjoy the free roam of my home when my humans are not home. I like to carry toys and pull around my blankets to my special spot until I am ready to use them, foster mom says it's soooo cute. I’m still learning what fetch and playing are, my idea of playing is carrying my stuffie around and then ripping it up.  I don't eat the insides because that is disgusting, but it's fun to rip them up! I'm not an overly social butterfly and will need slow and appropriate introductions to any doggy pals.  I did not like my foster sibling at fist, but with time and proper introductions we are best friends now! My ideal home is patient with me, I am timid and shy at first, but will warm up.  I am happy to see you when you get home, but also enjoy my space. I like to be around you and know where you are, I have a fear of missing out. I like to sit next to you on the couch and will greet you with kisses in the mornings.  Adoption fee: $150 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines! TO ADOPT PLEASE APPLY ONLINE amtrescue.org                                                                          Please send photos of your home to amtrhomephotos@gmail.com to expedite your application.

Would you just look at these brown eyes! Welcome Aubrey Jean to the AMTR family! She is 3yo, 46 lb beauty!. Aubrey is spayed, utd on vaccinations and preventative, and microchipped. See what her foster Mom has to say about this pretty lady: Aubrey is the sweetest, loyal, cuddly doggo you will ever meet. She absolutely loves to be around her family, smushing her face and body on yours. She knows commands and is very committed to impressing her humans. She is crate and potty trained, does well on leash walks, and is dog friendly (with proper slow introductions). She is a silly and loving girl. She will bring something truly special to her forever home. She will take some time to warm up as this sweetie was found as a stray and comes from PRC where she lost her puppies and was very overwhelmed by the environment. Her ideal home is a family with a yard to get her zoomies out and play fetch.  She would love a younger sibling to play with and a human snuggle buddy! Adoption fee: $150 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines! TO ADOPT PLEASE APPLY ONLINE amtrescue.org                                                                          Please send photos of your home to amtrhomephotos@gmail.com to expedite your application.

Story
MAXX & ME PET RESCUE adoptable dogsDoggy Daycare Pro!Faith - our 'Faithy' :-)   Faith is a beautiful, petite, joyful, blonde and caramel pittie mix. At just around 40lbs, she is the perfect medium size girl. She LOVES and ADORES other dogs and needs her best doggy friends at all times. Her best friends are currently Krissy & Tobie, but Faith is a doggy daycare regular and might be the most popular girl in school. She plays with 50+ dogs at doggy daycare, loves to go in the kiddie pools and splash around, but can also just chill and relax in the shade.   At home, Faith loves everything cozy - blankets, cuddling, sleeping in bed with her humans, giving kisses and a good movie night on the couch. However, as soon as daylight hits, she's ready to run around in the fenced backyard with her friends. She is nervous around most men and takes time to warm up to them, but will come around. She will bark at them at first, but is easily persuaded with treats. She loves women.   In Faith's ideal home, she needs another playful, happy dog (or dogs), someone home often and a secure 6' fenced yard. She has been around all sizes and breeds of dogs and does well with all of them. She can be nervous at times, so a home without young children or young children that visit, is best for her so that they don't let her out.   Faith is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative and on monthly prevention. Her adoption fee is $250.   Adoption applications for Faith can be done at maxxandme.org. Please follow up with one email to maxxandmerescue@gmail.com to confirm receipt of your application.   Maxx & Me is an all volunteer, all foster home rescue and do not have a shelter. Please allow at least 48 hours for applications to be processed (missing information may slow the process, so please take your time and be thoughtful in your answers). All dogs posted are available (so no need to ask). We place dogs based on best home for each dog and not order of applications received.

Meet Macarena, a 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier with a heart as big as her smile! Macarena's journey started in the mountains of Puerto Rico, where she was rescued and given a second chance at life. This sweet girl has a special place in her heart for humans of all ages, and she's especially fond of the new baby in her foster home. One of Macarena's quirks is her love for fashion. She adores wearing sweaters and shirts - you'll often catch her strutting her stuff in style! Macarena is eagerly awaiting the day she can find her forever family. She's content being the only dog and will shower you with love and happiness every day. We picture her riding in style with her mom or dad in the cab of a tractor trailer crossing the country and seeing the sights.

Story
Loretta is a 3-year-old staffy mix looking for her forever home. Her playgroup style at the shelter was described as gentle/dainty, and her foster believes she would do best with submissive dogs. She does love to play and absolutely loves to cuddle with her foster parents She does have skin issues, which is common in bully breeds. She will likely need to be on oral allergy medicine for life. She aims to please and knows tricks like "sit" and "kisses."  Due to Loretta's size, we do not recommend a home with small children. She has not been tested with cats, but her foster family believes she would do best in a home with no cats. She is crate-trained and house-trained, and her foster family is able to leave her in their guest room and she isn't destructive. All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

MAXX & ME PET RESCUE adoptable dogsJasper The lone boy pup of our #Eskimoexplorers gang, Jasper is a real-life emoji. His expressions are unmistakable In real life, Jasper is not only expressive, he’s joyous and entertaining - totally full of life. Jasper is living with several very big dogs. He has one very favorite of them - his foster brother Roman - and he is never far from his side. In his forever home, Jasper will need a new big buddy to bond with for sure! Jasper is doing awesome learning how to DOG by paling around with his foster siblings. He knows to sit and wait politely for treats, he loves to be included in all the things the others do. His favorite activities are chewing bones and s climbing Roman and his favorite spot to nap is a basket of warm laundry, or quite literally on top of Roman. Basically wherever Roman is - that’s Jasper’s place to be also! Being a young puppy, it’s imperative Jasper have someone around often to let him outside for potty time. He definitely wants a fenced yard to enjoy in his forever home - leash waking is not high on his favorites list. If you’re looking for a puppy to enhance your life and bring the youthful energy into your home, Jasper has you covered! It’s also very important your resident pup be willing and able to take on the role of big brother/sister for Jasper - he’s not taking no for an answer on that! Apps for this silly sidekick @ maxxandme.org Jasper’s adoption fee is $400July 26, 2024, 11:37 am
