Foxon is a purebred, long-haired black German Shepherd Dog.  He is definitely a follower rather than an alpha. He will do best if he has a canine companion who is confident, but not alpha. He is very friendly and loving, but a bit cautious of new people and places. He does adjust well given time and patience. He came to us because his family’s situation changed and the owner felt it was in his best interest to be rehomed.  Foxon has been loved and cared for and he is ready to find a wonderful new family of his very own. 

If you think Foxon 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 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 meet-and-greet to see if Foxon picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, we can finalize the adoption with the signed contract.
