Story
This animal is NOT available through Brother Wolf Animal Rescue. This is a courtesy listing only, so you will need to contact the current owner for more information or to adopt. PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER: call or text: (207) 232-2708 Hi there! Thanks for your interest in this sweet girl Daisy. Daisy is just over five years old, a perfect size at just under 40 pounds, and up to date medically. She is (so far) a very loyal pup who loves her person, is medium/high energy, loves cuddles, and will make a great adventure dog. I adopted Daisy from Brother Wolf about five weeks ago and while I adore her, she is not meshing well with my current dog and is also more high energy than is a good fit for me. She and my dog are polar opposites in all kinds of ways, though I do think she would do great in a home with a medium/high energy dog who is confident and will set good boundaries with her because she can be a bit of a rascal. I don't know for sure, but it seems she is some kind of cattle dog mix and she definitely has some of those breed typical traits: a bit of herding, captain of squirrel observation, a very enthusiastic playmate, and loyal as the day is long. She also LOVES to play fetch, go for walks (would enjoy a much faster pace than my hound dog's current sniff and stroll), is great on runs and hikes/trail walks, and really just wants you to be in her sightline most of the time. She also enjoys going to the local coffee shop and sitting in the sun on the patio. She is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate, and currently takes naps in there too. She loves to chew her toys, and loves to sit on my patio and monitor the neighborhood. She does well on a leash, though she does pull sometimes when she spots a squirrel that she would like to more closely inspect. She corrects pretty easily but can become fixated and will need an alert owner. I think she would thrive in a home with a yard where she can run around, monitor the squirrels, chase a ball, maybe play with an active dog-pal, and take walks or runs with an active owner or family. She is super sweet to people, though nervous at first and does need a confident owner who will work with her on some of her insecurity. She is not very interested when we meet other dogs on walks and does best when she can keep her distance and just walk on by. I don't know if she's lived with cats, the original posting from Brother Wolf didn't say, but I would guess that a cat might not be the best fit for her. Also, not sure if she has lived with children. She is really a pretty amazing pup and I'm sad to discover that she's not the right fit for me and my current dog, but I just know there's a great future for her with another wonderful person! Please reach out with any questions, I really want to make sure Daisy goes to the right home where all her sweetness and spiciness can thrive.

Story
Shiloh is a great dog. She would be perfect on a large plot of land with a family. She is high energy and explorative. She is a fast learner, food motivated and has many commands. Her release word from a stay or her asking for something is "Free". Shiloh was found with 5 siblings in a parking lot on a hot day in Raleigh a year and a half ago. Now she loves winter, and playing in water on hot days. She is great candidate for buttons, as she has learned to hold or offer affirmative barks on the word of the thing she wants. Housebroken, loving, emotionally aware, crate trained. I am just looking for a family that can provide her the attention, space and activity she needs to be fulfilled.

River

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 4 yrs 9 mos
Arden, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
River was abandoned in the national forest after we had a major ice/snow storm - myself along with animal control went out to try to get him and he was so terrified - after several hours I was able to gain his trust and he jumped into my car. River is a typical heeler - super super smart, loyal but the typical heeler attitude. This boy knows many commands, sit, stay, lay down, roll over, wait - he will not even eat until you tell him he can. His most favorite thing in the whole world to do is to play ball and he will play for hours and hours. He will need an adopter that has had "heeler" experience as they honestly are a breed of their own. But if you have experience with them - you also know how amazing they are. He would make an excellent hiking partner. Absolutely NO cats - and while he does well with dogs his size that are submissive - he would not mind being the only dog and this dog is going to be loyal to you without a doubt. He is estimated to be 4 years old and weighs 70 pounds. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, current on heartworm prevention, microchipped and is a very well trained dog. If River seems like the perfect dog for you, please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications - that is the first step in our process. We also require references and a home visit. His adoption fee is $250.00

Story
Angel is thought to be a red merle Australian cattle dog mix who is 3-4 years old. She must have been dumped as a young puppy as she is not socialized to humans. She was trapped while running with two larger dogs. The dogs hunted chickens and cats to survive. We are so grateful that Angel got into the trap because the other two dogs were shot and killed by irate neighbors. Angel is 28 lbs and very healthy. She is stout and compact and would be great as a hiking companion or just a good little dog to sleep in your bed. Angel is making slow progress in becoming a pet. We have built a good relationship, and I can touch her all over and pick her up. She is still not use to a leash, but she comes when called and is very obedient. She is very food motivated and that will be the key to continuing her socialization. Angel lives at a pet hotel and is exposed to many dogs each day. She is playful and confident with other dogs. When she first meets another dog, she wants to assert her dominance. She needs mild correction and then she can be off leash and playing in no time. Angel cannot be with cats. Angel is getting more and more accustomed to strangers every day. It takes time to develop a relationship with her. Let’s face it Angel needs some love. She will need a patient, competent leader to continue her progress. **Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

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 mlboyd928@gmail.com for more information or to adopt the pet.Meet Greyson! He is loyal, loving, energetic and eager to learn. Finding a new home for him is really hard for us but necessary for everyone. He needs a different environment more suitable for his needs. Greyson is a rescue dog we adopted in Minnesota after he was found on a reservation in South Dakota with a broken, mangled rear leg. The rescue organization in Minnesota amputated the leg shortly before we adopted him. He adjusted very well quickly and loves to run (very fast). Sometimes you'll see his nub moving because he has an itch that just needs to be scratched!Greyson came to live with us in October 2020. We had 2 other dogs, a cat and 2 kids. He did great and played (still does) hard with our smaller male dog. Never bothered the old female dog. Then he started resource guarding food. He has randomly been attacking the other male dog for several months. It doesn't work for us anymore.He needs to be an only dog and probably a farm dog with a job.  Greyson wants to please people, loves fetch and lots of petting. We underestimated our ability to be the right fit for him. I hope you won't be deterred by the fact that he's been aggressive with our other dog. He's a wonderful companion and needs someone who can commit a lot of one-on-one time with him. And lots and lots of exercise.Contact me today at mlboyd928@gmail.com to meet or learn more about Greyson! 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. May 6, 2024, 4:31 pm
