Here are some very important things you need to know about Spirit

Approximate age/birthdate:  born ~2009

Weight/size: ~4.5 lbs    

Housebroken:  Yes – if you do your part and take him outside on a regular basis.  He was just neutered and will still ‘mark’ if there are other dog scents around.

Crate trained:  YES

Personality:  very sweet, loving, super snuggler

Energy level:  medium

Fenced yard required?:   Definitely preferred so he has a safe place to get outside

Does he/she jump fences?  NO

Leash walk:  YES

Obedience training:  No – but he definitely knows how to get in your lap

Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK     

Spayed/neutered:   YES

Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES

Microchipped:   YES

Social with other dogs:  YES

Social with cats: YES

Good with children:  Due to his very small size and fragile build, he will be better with adults and older, respectful children.  If anyone, including a small child, hurt him (even accidentally),  he would bite in defense only.

Adoption donation:  $175

Spirit and his friends, Romeo and Miss Piggy, came to us from a home where the owner suddenly became very ill and could no longer care for them.  He has been much-loved and cared for and he is ready to find another family who will cherish him and love him forever.

If you think Spirit 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 and home visit to see if Spirit 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 or call 434 841 0411 or 540 297 1590 if you have additional questions.
