Miniature pinschers are known for their strong personalities, and Prince is no exception. They are also one of the most loving and loyal dog breeds and make great companions. Prince will bond to the people he chooses and can be protective of the person he is with.

We do all of our adoptions as foster-to-adopt. That gives everyone time to settle in together and make sure it’s going to be a good fit. Once the trial period is over, if it has worked out, then the adoption would be finalized at that time.
Jake is available and looking for a furever home. Jake is very cuddly and affectionate. He loves to please!
Age: 2 years
Breed: Pit mix
Sex: male
Size: 50 lbs
Housetrained: He goes out regularly to go to the bathroom and sometimes rings the bells on the door to let foster mom know he has to go out. Working on crate training. He does fine in the crate when there are people around.
Cats: unsure
Dogs: slow introduction recommended
Kids: He seems to get along with people, both children and adults.
Activity/Energy Level: He is a quick learner. In just a few weeks he has learned to stay, place, gentle, hug, and sit commands. If commanded properly, he will wait to eat, leave the crate, and exit the door to go outside until given the command okay. He is work in progress with distractions, but he will do well with continued training. He does well on the leash and listens when told with a pfsst sound and tug on the leash to slow down if walking to far ahead or pulling.
Likes: He especially likes his squeaky toys, but they need to be durable. He is good in the car and does like to for rides and long walks.

We are trying to pull a couple of dogs from animal control because they are completely full.
We are looking for foster to adopt homes for these dogs. Foster only is fine, but as long as you know that bigger dogs are harder to find adoptable homes for so they may be in your home longer.
We are trying to help the following dogs (see pictures below):
Lana
Thor
Banks
We can schedule meet and greets for these dogs with you and your dogs at animal control. The dog would go to Blue Ridge Veterinary Service before they come to your house and will be fully vetted.
As always, all supplies are provided during the foster period. If you are interested in any of these dogs, please send in your application and note the dogs name.
Lana- she is a female pitbull and as you can see she has been bred an insane amount of times. She is the sweetest girl. Seems to be fine with dogs, but we do not know about cats. She is around 2-3 years old.
Thor- he is a senior Plott Hound. He is already neutered. Seems fine with dogs, we do not know about cats.

We have two programs
A foster only program. We need foster homes! Fosters provide love, daily care, and a safe place to land while they continue on their journey to a forever home. After the above is completed and you are approved, watch our Facebook page and website for a dog you would be interested in fostering and send us a message. Our rescue supplies everything while a dog is under foster care (supplies, food, all vetting, etc.).
A foster to adopt program. We use a process of fostering leading to adoption. The dog will be in your home during the "foster to adopt period". If it is a good fit you will be able to adopt.
If you are interested in fostering or fostering to adopt, Please complete application.
Process includes:
-Reference & home checks will be completed
-Back ground check will be completed
-Vet records for pets will be verified
