Story
This is Rune, he is the absolute sweetest boy. He loves to cuddle, and loves people. I rescued him as a puppy from a rough situation. He was only 7 weeks old when he came home with us, he is up to date on all shots and vaccines. He has a few monthly flea and tick pills left. He is crate trained, house broken, and knows a lot of commands. The reason I cannot keep him is that I simply do not have the time, he needs someone who can play with him and run out all of his energy. I do not have a safe yard to let him play whenever he wants, and do not have the time to work him out. He is great with my other two big dogs, not sure about cats. He is great with kids, I have a 3 and 7 year old he is very use to. We are so sad to rehome him, but he deserves more attention. He is scheduled to be fixed and microchipped on 10/29. He is almost a year old, I got him in January 2025 at 7 weeks roughly. The only reason I have a rehoming fee, is because I’ll give you all his stuff with him.

He easily gets scared of neighborhood rabbits. He weighs about 75 pounds.Peace is independent and will chase after rabbits if given the chance. She loves to cuddle, but she doesn't like being touched on the head. She weighs about 62 pounds.As far as training goes, Lucky and Peace are house-trained, but they will have accidents if you don't pay attention. They are trying to obey a command when it comes to them getting a treat afterwards, but they still have a ways to go.As far as adoption, it'd be best if they could be adopted together as they have separation anxiety.Comtact me today at shinryu02@hotmail.com to learn more about Luck and Peace.

With his partially brindled black-and-white coat and soulful eyes, Coco is a true companion dog—one who wants to be by your side, whether chasing after his favorite ball or curling up for a relaxing evening on the couch.Coco is a high-energy pup who thrives on activity. He absolutely loves playing fetch, chewing on a good bone, and soaking up all the affection he can get. He’s a smart boy who knows commands like sit, stay and go to your place, and even responds excitedly to “Do you want your food?”—especially if it involves his favorite treats like cheese or apple slices!Because Coco can be reactive when meeting new dogs, he’s looking for a home where he can get some support in this area. He’s never shown aggression toward people, but due to his size and strong personality, a household without small children would be the best fit. A secure, fenced yard would be ideal for him to burn off energy, but he’ll also need a patient and experienced pet parent who can manage his leash reactivity and give him structured exercise.At home, Coco is a loving, devoted companion who just wants to be near his favorite people! He’ll happily rest his head on your lap, lean in for pets, or simply sit close by, enjoying your presence. He sleeps soundly in his own space, eats well and is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations—ready for his new adventure with his next loving family!Are you looking for a playful, loyal, and affectionate companion who will love you unconditionally? Then reach out today at thallis.santesteban@gmail.com or 210-254-3078 to learn more about Coco!  All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.
