Oh those fuzzy-faced puppies will get you every time!  (And I apologize that the pictures are not nearly as cute as they really are.) Bernie is one of a litter of four little cutie pies who will just love and snuggle you to pieces.  Not sure exactly what all is in the mix here but looks like there could be some shih tzu, some yorkie, some schnauzer … and something with some long ears!  Whatever is in the mix, they sure are cute and sweet.  And Bernie is unique … he looks like a miniature St Bernard and he feels like a cottony puff ball! 

Want to play?  Bernie is ready.  Want to snuggle? Bernie is ready.  Want to just sit and stare at an adorable pup?  Bernie is ready.

If you think Bernie 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 Bernie 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.
