re are some very important things you need to know about me Approximate age/birthdate: ~December 2008 Weight/size: ~55 lbs Housebroken: partially Crate trained: partially Personality: rowdy, assertive, playful Energy level: medium to high Fenced yard required?: YES - she is a hound and will follow her nose Does he/she jump fences? NO Leash walk: YES – but she still pulls at lot and she is a strong girl Obedience training: no Riding in vehicles: RIDES OK Spayed/neutered: YES Up-to-date on routine vaccinations: YES Microchipped: YES Social with other dogs: YES – if properly introduced. If not, she will try to be alpha and bossy. She would be great as an only dog. Social with cats: NO CATS Good with children: She would probably be fine with older children. Her size and energy would be overwhelming for younger children Adoption fee: $75 Look at this smiling face! Patches is a beautiful hound mix girl who was wandering around and 'found' a caring, compassionate family. Unfortunately they couldn't keep her, but they definitely wanted to make sure she gets into a home with a family who will love her forever, so they called on AAMR for assistance. She is a great girl who is just full of love she wants to share with a new family of her very own. At first Patches was very shy, but she has now decided that being with people is a good thing! She is very playful and wants to stay where she can see her people at all times! She was probably born late 2008 or early 2009 and she is around 55 pounds. She is spayed, microchipped and updated on all her shots. Patches is a great pup and with all her energy and playfulness, she will do best with a very active family who will include her in all their activities! She needs a fenced yard to get plenty of exercise or someone who will take her for LONG walks or runs every day. She's just waiting for the perfect family to find her! If you think Patches might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org, click on Forms/Application and complete your adoption application online. We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits. You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references. Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have 10 or more applications in process. We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible. When your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if Patches picks you too. If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed. Please feel free to email weluvpups@hotmail.com if you have additional questions.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
