Story
Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! This pet is NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue.  Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pet or apply to adopt this pet on the MPR website.  Contact thallis.santesteban@gmail.com or 210-254-3078 for more information or to adopt the pet.Meet Coco, a loyal and affectionate three-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix from Asheville, NC, whose big heart is matched only by his love for playtime and cuddles! 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. 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. Mountain Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax deductible charity (EIN 82-3039637) located in Asheville, NC. April 2, 2025, 1:57 am

Story
Rocco is a fun loving guy. If you don’t have any other pets and you have older kids (mine are 10 and up) He may be the perfect fit. He’s still young but I’ve gotten him through much of the puppy stuff that is hard to handle. He rings a bell at the door to go out. He’s crate trained. He’s Neutered, microchipped and up to date on vet stuff. He is being rehomed because his family was evicted and I could help out for the short term but I have a small farm and he has a high prey drive. I also have three other dogs already and while he does integrate it was a process. You would either have to be very well versed in training or want him as an only dog and I’d prefer the latter simply because he is dog selective. He LOVES to be active. He lives for someone to hike with him or play fetch in the yard. if your looking for a buddy to do stuff with please ask about him he might just be your new best friend and I’d love to answer any questions. He really is a fun guy with a BIG heart.

Story
Charlie is a well mannered tripod one-eyed boy who does great in a crate, and he’s house trained. While Charlie won’t make a good brewery dog, he does make a perfect nap companion and is content waiting at home for you to return. Charlie can be uncomfortable and intimidated by men and strangers, so it’s best he keeps his distance and wears a muzzle in public. He is absolutely wonderful in the car and loves, loves, LOVES car rides. Charlie gives the best kisses and he’s waiting to share his love with a family who can understand and respect his limits. Ideally, he would be the only critter in the home, with no kids or young children. He is a perfect, well-mannered boy who knows basic commands such as sit, come, and stay. Thanks to Charlie’s Behaviorist, Tiffany, he can now cohabitate with other respectful and size appropriate dogs, but will require slow integration. Charlie is a mellow, laid-back boy who is comfortable waiting at home for his people to return. He is house & crate trained, and would love nothing more than a chill movie day! We are determined to find Charlie his forever family, but we’re also realistic that that will take some time. For now, Charlie would love to enjoy some time with a foster family. He’ll need a family who can meet him where he’s at, respect his limitations, and commit to working with him through his obstacles. Charlie is such a good boy and he deserves the world! Reach out if you're interested in fostering or adopting this very special boy. Charlie is currently being fostered in Columbus, OH.

Story
Ash appeared in our lives about a month ago. He was found running around our neighborhood and was very unsure of getting close to anyone. I began feeding him twice a day and he started staying around my home. I came home one day and he was sitting by my garage door waiting for me, wagging his tail and body all at the same time. He immediately became an active part of our lives. He truly only wants to be loved and give love. He loves to ride in the car and put his head in your lap. He wants to be right by your side doing whatever you’re doing. I believe he’s just about one year old. He’s in very good health with a beautiful black coat of hair. He cries to be with you but quiet down within a few minutes. I believe he’s easily trainable, but hasn’t been trained yet. Please give him a forever home. I can’t keep him because I have two geriatric dogs and he’s too rambunctious for them. I hope to see you soon. Ash says hello!
