Hi … my name is Spud and here are some things you need to know about me!  After you read through my bio, if you think I might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete your adoption application online.

Do you love Chihuahuas?  Well, Spud might not be the boy for you.  We don’t think he knows he’s a Chihuahua.  He’s not yappy or snappy and so far he never seems to meet a stranger.  He’s sweet and happy and playful and he’s a really good snuggler!  We’re not sure how he would be around children because his foster home doesn’t have any, but we think if there are older kids who are kind, he would be tolerant.  (We do know he has been mistreated by children and adults previously.) He just wants to be loved.

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 multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Spud picks you too.
