Story
And our sweetest girl Penelope is ready to find a family to call her own. I included her picture from the day we pulled her as this shows just how far this girl has come with proper medical care and lots of love and now her journey is ready to begin with a family to call her own Penelope is estimated to be 1.5 years old she is 55 pounds and honestly thinks she is a lap dog Here is what her amazing foster Mom, Sharon, had to say about this special girl: You sent If you are looking for an amazing companion, Penelope is your girl. Penelope loves loves loves people. She will be very bonded and completely loyal to you. She loves toys and especially her ball. She will play fetch non stop with you. A fenced yard would be great as she loves to run around and chase anything that moves. She wants to be by your side all the time and will crawl into your lap or lay next to you and go to sleep. She does pull on a leash and we are working on that. She is housebroken and crate trained. Penelope is very selective which dogs she will bond with due to being attacked in a former foster home. A young non dominant dog would be a good match for her. We have no idea how she is with cats. She is very special and you will immediately fall in love with her. Penelope does well with kids. She has not been cat tested as her foster home does not have cats. If you are interested in adopting this special dog , a true underdog, please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications. Penelope is spayed, current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention, microchipped, current on vaccines, has had the surgery to repair her eyes, dewormed and has had a full bloodwork panel done. Her adoption fee is $250.00 We do not set up meet and greets until the application has been received and reviewed. We do require vet references and a home visit as well. All of our dogs are in private foster homes throughout Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina - we do not have a facility Let's share this girl and find her the very best forever home - she so deserves it

She is an absolute sweetheart--so loving, cuddly and friendly. Just over 30 pounds, she insists she is a lap dog. Her kisses, snuggles and gentle play nibbles are...well...dreamy! She shrieks with excitement whenever she sees a new dog or person--because that means there's a new friend to win over. She is generally a rock star at the dog park, but occasionally gets hyper-fixated on certain dogs and her play can be too intense for them. Dream is a very active dog who needs lots of regular exercise to stay happy. She does well on leash. If you’re looking for a housemate who will greet you enthusiastically at the door, keep you accountable for logging those training miles and curl up next to you on the couch when it’s time to chill, sweet Dream is your girl. Dream is about 18 months old, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and up to date on shots. She is not recommended for a home with cats or small dogs.Fostered through We Are Zeus. Please contact debkirby75@gmail.com with questions/interest.

This sweet pittie mix was so hopelessly shut down in his shelter kennel that he was scheduled to be euthanized. He was rescued in the nick of time by We Are Zeus and has blossomed in foster care. He's now ready for his forever home. Desi is one of the most loving and affectionate dogs you will ever meet! He is so connected to his foster people and always on the lookout for new friends. He loves to play, but equally loves curling up next to (or on) you; if you happen to be standing, he'll settle for sitting on your foot. And if you’re really not available, he’s happy to gnaw on a chew toy—he’s connected but not clingy.Desi is house-trained. He is still learning other household manners but making great strides. He doesn't prefer his crate, but is fine being led into it when necessary. He is an active and energetic guy who will need regular exercise. He'd be a great running, walking or hiking buddy. He is perfect on leash.Desi is neutered, heartworm negative and up to date on shots. Please contact debkirby75@gmail.com with questions/interest.

He is the most special and the sweetest boy you will ever meet! He loves cuddle!! SO much in fact that the first night we adopted him he snuggled into bed with us! He loves getting dressed up in outfits and getting tucked into a soft blanket - he is just an absolute cuddle bug. BUT that’s not to say he doesn’t have lots of energy. Zeus LOVES to play!! Zeus LOVES toys and playing around. His favorite game is tug of war! He absolutely loves being outside and running around. He loves to take walks and explore. He REALLY loves to run around an open field and chase birds! Zeus loves his people and loves so hard! Zeus has a very big personality and is truly a very special dog that will connect with you on a deep level. Zeus is so loyal and clingy and all he wants to do is love and be loved. Although Zeus is full of love he can also be a scaredy cat at times! When we adopted Zeus we were told he came from an abusive household. This can make him skidish, reactive, and anxious at times. Since we have gotten Zeus, he has grown so much. However, he does still struggle with feeling anxious and that can lead to him being reactive. For example: loud noises, yelling, high-fiving or anything that mimics anything aggressive will concern him! For this reason, it is very important that Zeus goes to a home filled with lots of love, understanding, and patience. He longs to feel safe and that is the life we hope and dream someone can provide for him. Due to Zeus’ occasional reactive behavior and anxiety it is best he goes to a home that has experience with dogs and not first time owners. We also do not know how he is around children as he has never been introduced to any. He doesn’t get along with cats. As far as behavior with others dogs, he seems to get along with most dogs. Zeus currently lives in a 1 animal household.Zeus really is an amazing dog and has SO MUCH LOVE to give! Even though he has had a troubled past, he is such a good boy and deserves every good thing in life. Our wish for Zeus is to find him a loving forever home with lots of space for him to run around and explore! If you have patience and are looking for a cuddle companion so full of love with a big personality - Zeus would be the perfect fit!Full disclosure: We are not giving up Zeus because of any of any fault of his own but because of a family emergency we have to move to a country where pitbulls are illegal to have :(. We are heartbroken as Zeus is our baby and deserves every good thing in the world!! We are really hoping someone can give him the happiest life possible! We will travel anywhere!  All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.

She’s super-sweet and loves people, but seems to be easily overwhelmed by dogs.  We are unsure how she is with cats. She’s been spayed young, and I made sure to get her medical care. She pulls a bit on the leash at first but calms down and even sits on command. Despite her age, she acts like a huge puppy and is up for anything as long as she has a human with her!Contact me today at slanimallover2@gmail.com to meet or learn more about sweet Molly!
