ly to adopt this pet on the MPR website. Contact bret.e.polkgmail or (817) 320-0538 for more information or to adopt the pet. What Neo loves: Neo is a classic good boy dog. He is a bit of a dufus (except when trying to get a treat or locate a ball, then he turns into a genius), he loves to run and play, he loves being pet and snuggled. And will bring joy to your home in the right setting. We have had Neo since we adopted him as a puppy at 8 weeks old. And I hope he can find the same love he gives to us everyday. Neo loves to play ball! Nothing makes Neo happier than chasing after the ball and playing fetch. He would play all day in the backyard if he had it his way. Neo loves to give kisses. Neo is very affectionate when he is comfortable with people. Expect a few licks to make you feel better when you are having a long day. Neo loves to snuggle up in bed. In an ideal world Neo loves to be snuggled up by your chest or feet when you are watching a movie. He is the perfect companion to keep you warm in the winter, although he sleeps in his dog bed the majority of the time because he can be a bit of a bed hog! Neo loves to go for walks and hikes. Neo is great on the leash and loves to go on long walks when it is not too hot outside. Neo will stick by your side and not be thrown off by other dogs walking or people passing by. Neo loves treats! You will never meet a more food-motivated dog. He will sit, stay, lay down, shake and do anything for some food! Neo loves other dogs. He is a dogs dog at heart, he loves to play tug-of-war with his friends and can be entertained all day. I think him having an in-home canine companion would be a huge positive for Neo. Neo loves other animals. In our current home we have another dog, a rabbit, chickens and a cat. Neo coexists with all of them after warming up initially and quite quickly! Neo loves his owners. Neo will love, protect and always be there for you. He is a fiercely loyal dog. Neo loves butt scratches! You know you have made a lifelong friend with him when he goes between your legs and lets you scratch the top of his butt. Neo loves to protect your house. Neo has scared off bear and deer, and is a great security system. You will feel safe at night knowing Neo will hear and alert you to any activity outside your home. Neo loves space to run and play! What Neo does not like: Neo likes to not be the center of attention on walks. Strangers coming up to him from a distance cause him to be anxious and it is best to give Neo space. However, Neo loves walks and can walk by people/dogs just fine. He just doesn’t like when someone is getting overly excited and approaching. Neo does not like windy car rides. Neo loves the mountains but he gets a bit anxious in the car for extended periods of time especially when we drive him up into the mountains. His ideal scenario is being on someone's lap for the car ride or in the passenger seat. However, Neo has done many long roadtrips with us. Neo does not like thunderstorms. When he hears thunder he wants to jump up into bed and be by his owners. Neo does not like apartment-like settings. Neo thrives in open space environments. Apartments and small corridors make him anxious and he can bark around apartment doors. Neo does not like the mailman. Neo tends to be barky/reactive at the sound of someone knocking on the door/ringing the doorbell. This is not the best time to introduce him to new people. Neo needs warming up with introductions. In our current set-up we introduce him to new people at the fence gate in the backyard and sometimes give them treats to ease the introduction, partly because he gets overexcited and wants to jump on those who are coming in. The best personalities in this scenario are those who approach Neo with confidence and say “Hi Neo” as they are getting to know him. That being said this part of being Neo’s owner is important. Having people over can be stressful for Neo, and he does better with a few introductions at a time. In a party-like setting, it may be better to put him away in the crate. Neo does not like the unpredictability of young children (toddlers). Neo would be best with a couple with no children, a single individual, or a large property with lots of other dogs. Contact me today at bret.e.polkgmail or (817) 320-0538 to meet Neo! 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 petsmpravl 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.

  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.
