Story
Meet Lizzie!Lizzie is a lovable, affectionate girl looking for a forever home to call her own. She's as sweet as can be and thrives on human companionship. She’s excellent in her crate, waiting patiently to be let out, and she’s fully housebroken. Lizzie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and currently on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives.   This friendly pup gets along well with other dogs, though slow introductions are always recommended to ensure everyone gets off on the right paw. Lizzie is a strong girl with plenty of enthusiasm, so a home with older children is best—she may accidentally knock over little ones when she gets excited.   Lizzie loves long walks, playtime, and especially cuddling up with her favorite people. With her gentle heart and joyful spirit, she’ll make a wonderful addition to any loving home. If you're looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts fun and snuggly, Lizzie  is your girl!

Story
Meet Ana! Ana is a 2-year-old, 39-pound, sweet, smart girl, who is the perfect mix of playful athlete and snuggly love bug. She’s easy on the leash, has good recall, and absolutely thrives on mental stimulation—she’s obsessed with kongs, loves brain games, and enjoys agility work like weaving poles, jumping hurdles, and even jumping into your arms! She knows sit, stay, down, shake, high five, up, and more. Ana is incredibly friendly with men, women, and kids, and she plays beautifully with dogs of all sizes, male or female. She may be best with kids 8 and up. She has shown no good aggression with humans or dogs. When she’s not being active, Ana is all about comfort: she LOVES the sofa, loves being up high (half cat, half dog), and happily melts into a fluffy bed or piles of pillows. She also adores ice and frozen treats like kongs and pupsicles.  Ana would do best with an active family, a tall fence, and someone who’s home often or can bring her along—she loves being close to her people and gives affection generously. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, athletic, and affectionate companion, Ana might be your perfect match.   Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you.   ##2573889##

Story
Meet Ernie ******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you area not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Ernie, formerly Max, is a neutered, 8 year old male Pittie/Cattle Dog mix, currently weighing around 63lbs. He is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found. Ernie was found by his foster mom running down a busy street in rush hour traffic. She saw him almost get hit and literally took off her heels to run over and get him in the car. It was obvious by the way he jumped right in and his good health, that he was previously owned. Unfortunately, despite being microchipped, the owner didn’t want him back. We have gathered that Ernie is about 8 years old and was initially adopted from a county shelter back 2020. He was clearly loved at one time as he was HW- and never met a stranger. We will never know why his owner never came for him, but Ernie is a true gem of a dog and we can’t wait to see him find his true forever home. This handsome pup is a goofy older gentleman! He is very chill but also gets excited for a walk or play date. He’s done great with every human and animal he’s met, and just wants to be wherever you are. Ernie gets excited when he sees other dogs, wagging his tail and hoping you let him say hi! He’s a gentle play mate, just wanting to be included in the group and will go with the flow. He’s been great with dogs half his size, and lets his foster sibling, a little Aussie, boss him around. The dog sitter has a cat that he hasn’t formally met, but has seen from across the way. He seems interested in the cat, but not in an aggressive way. We think he would be fine with cats that don’t mind him wanting to say hi. Ernie hasn’t been around kids but is extremely gentle. His foster believes he’d enjoy a home with them as long as they are aware he is a bigger boy. Ernie is house broken and does great on a leash. He doesn’t enjoy the crate and will try to escape. Thankfully, he isn’t destructive when left unsupervised. If he knows you’re home while he’s in the crate, he will whine or howl for a few minutes, but calms down with a treat or verbal commands. He is a social guy and really enjoys time with his humans, following you room to room. His favorite spot is right next to you! His foster mom feels Ernie would be a great fit anywhere. He’d do well with kids, with or without other pets in the house, an older couple, or even a first time dog owner. He may be a senior, but Ernie has a lot of love left to give and just wants to be part of his very own pack! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt him?
