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 252-665-2512 or elliegcoles@gmail.com for more information or to adopt the pet.Zeus is a 40lb American Pitbull Terrier Mix. He is the most special and the sweetest boy you will ever meet! He loves to 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 skittish, 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!Contact me today at 252-665-2512 or elliegcoles@gmail.com to learn more about sweet Zeus! 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.

Meet Slytherin Slytherin, also being called Sly, is a shy but social boy who will melt into your arms. Although he is only estimated at 8 months old he has a calm and gentle disposition. He enjoys exploring his surroundings, playing fetch, and just being with his people. Sly is affectionate and enjoys crawling into your lap for love. Sly is still a puppy though, so he enjoys looking for things to chew on and is working on concentrating more. Sly is still growing, so expect a pretty large boy when he is done.Commands: Sit, Paw, Lay downPersonality: Shy, Sweet, and SocialEnergy Level: MediumOverly protective: NoCrate Trained: YesHouse Trained: Working on itLeash Trained: Yes, working on doing betterRides in car: Yes ##2106690##

Introducing our playful girl Whitney! She is a 4-5 month old puppy with lots of energy and love to give. Whitney is great with people and enjoys doing all the normal puppy things! She is crate trained and walks well on a leash, and she really loves to play with her sister Brittany. Whitney is great with other dogs (currently fostered with 3 other adults). We aren't sure how she is with cats, but puppies of this age usually adjust quickly! Whitney is about 20lbs and we expect her to mature around 60lbs.************************************Whitney is located in a foster home. We are happy to coordinate a meet & greet for pre-approved adopters. To get started, please submit an adoption application at https://bit.ly/USAHOTNADOPT2024Adoption process:Potential adopters complete our online application. From there, we contact them to continue the screening process including checking references, vet checks, and a personal phone interview. Upon completion, potential adopters are pre-approved.From there, potential adopters are put in touch with the foster parent(s) of the dog they are interested in adopting. If a specific dog is not in mind, admins will make suggestions based on who we feel will be good candidates for their home. We take the foster's opinions into high consideration when determining ideal fit for an adoption.Once the dog is determined to be a good fit for the adoptive home, the adopter is given advisement on decompression, training, safety gear, and future preventative vetting. The adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid to finalize the adoption. ##2160221##
