Sweet, and oh so pretty!

Petra came in with two other dogs from a breeder who decided to retire her. She is a sweet girl and oh so pretty! She is timid so shewill need patience to help her understand that she is now living the good life! Petra does like to bark; therefore, no shared walls for her new home. Breeder dog experience is beneficial, as she will need time and to adjust to being a pet. If you do not have a doggie door, then a schedule for going out would be needed.

Petra is a 5 years old, 12 pound, black and cream long hair. She is crate trained. She would do well with male and female dogs, but no cats. She would be OK with children over 10. When Petra had her dental check up, she lost 5 teeth, but luckily, no canines.

Our must-haves for this pretty little Petra include:

- A fenced yard
- Breeder experienced adopter with patience
- Another small, young, well-socialized dog for her to pal around with and learn from
- Someone who could be home more often than not   - No apartments, high-rises, or condos

We have been getting to know her! If you are interested in Petra, please email aadrpresident@gmail.com, and we can send you more info on her.

Chewy, she's a beauty!

2 year old Chewy came from OH when her owner had to give her up because she was fighting with her female fur sibling and the owner was fearful of the outcome.  Chewy was scared when she first came to us but once she knew us, she opened and is very friendly.  She loves the male foster dog in the foster home and even plays with him.  She really enjoys the fenced in yard and due to her young age and her love of the outdoors, we want her to have that fenced yard so she and her foster brother can play and run.

Chewy loves lap time and will beg to get in your lap if you are sitting at your computer or watching TV or just having quiet time.

Because she is a couple pounds overweight, we want someone who will commit to keeping her at her ideal weight which we believe should be around 12 pounds, no more than that.

Our must haves for Chewy are:
- A fenced in yard   - Another small young dog, male or submissive female

- We also think she could be an only dog as long as you work from home or are a newly active retired person(s).
- Someone who can be home more than not
- No apartments, high rises or condos as she likes to bark when someone comes in the door

If you meet our requirements and wish to adopt Chewy, please fill out our online adoption application. We do help with transports. Out of state adoptions east of the Mississippi River are welcome.

Please see more information and photos of Chewy by visiting her pet page, here!

Gentle and shy, Pip is looking for her people to love her and be loved back

Pip came from Georgia when a Good Samaritan took her from a neglectful situation, but could not keep her. She is very sweet but shy and will need time to warm up. So, if you do not have the patience to give her that time, then she is not the dog for you. Dogs come into rescue imperfect, and we adopt them because we want to make them whole...but some pups take longer than others to settle in. Could you be the one to love her enough to help Pip adjust and become the dog she was meant to be?

She really needs time to know she is safe and to relax, and she will give you love, but she wants it back, too. Do not disappoint her; give her what she needs for the rest of her life! 

Pip is a gentle and timid, Red long coat, who is 4 years old and almost 14 pounds. Other dogs and children 10 and over are ok. She is currently fostered in NC, but can travel to other locations we serve.

Our must-haves for precious Pip include: 

• A fenced yard
• Another young, small, and well-socialized dog in the home
• Someone who can be home most of the time or works from home
• Please no apartments, condos, or high-rises

Please reach out if you are interested. We will let you know all about this sweet, gentle girl looking for love. In the meantime, get more information and see additional photos on Pip's Pet Page, here.

6 year old Little Happy Girl with the Wobble Walk looking for IVDD experienced home!

11/4/2025 Update:Luna started playing some with her 2-year-old foster brother! She also cuddles with her foster sisters. She goes up and down ramps like a pro now. Luna does great with spine walking. This girl so deserves a forever home, please consider her!

9/13/2025 Update: Luna is doing very, very well.  She is almost finished with her physical therapy and willsoon be going to her permanent foster home where she will remain until she finds her forever home.  Luna is a happy little girl.  She will always “wobble walk” (check out her video) but she is doing very, very well with spine walking!

Original Bio: Luna came from a breeder in North Carolina when she went down in the back. We took her immediately to our specialty vet clinic, and they determined that she was not a candidate for surgery. So, we had to put her through physical therapy to teach her to spine walk. Spinal walking (SW) occurs when a paralyzed dog with no pain sensation or feeling in their legs learns to walk and stand through reflex. Luna is doing very well and is also getting laser therapy and Acupuncture. She will never walk normally, but she has learned to walk instead of dragging her back legs. She would only need a diaper on at night and take out 3-4 times during the day. Luna is a very determined little lady, and she deserves a home where they appreciate her willingness to keep working to strengthen her legs.

Our must-haves for precious Luna include:

• A fenced yard to get out and continue to strengthen her back legs. She is FAST.
• Someone who is home more often than not
• Someone with IVDD experience
• Another small young dog for her to hang with
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos 

Before applying for her, you can email her foster mom at aadrpresident@gmail.com, and she’ll be happy to answer any questions you have!
