Thank you for visiting All-American Mutt Rescue!
MEET THELMA AND LOUISE!

These 2 beautiful senior Pekingese ladies are looking for a new forever home together! But first they need some medical attention including spays and much-needed dental work which is going to be expensive - approx $500.
If you would like to help sponsor these girls and help with these expenses you can make a donation via the PayPal link on this page or you can mail a check to AAMR at 5491 Johnson Mtn Rd, Huddleston, VA 24104

In the great words of my favorite Pedigree commercial . . .
"Shelter dogs aren't broken, they've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write, the ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Don't pity a shelter dog.... Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness by your side."
Be sure to click on 'Animals'/'List' on the navigation bar on the left side of this page to see all our adoptable pups!

2009 in Review
2009 was a tough year for so many families who had to give up their family pets for any number of reasons, but through the love and generosity of the many consistent supporters of AAMR, the Rescue had a very positive year. We have been blessed to have a great core group of volunteers ... and we always need more ... to help with events and daily care of our foster pups. The financial support we have received from many of our adopters and friends has been significant and so greatly appreciated. We can't do this without you!
Our mail during the holidays was filled with updated photos of so many pups adopted from AAMR, and it is always heartwarming for us to get those. We also appreciate so much the very generous monetary donations included with many of your holiday greetings. It is very gratifying to know that so many of you appreciate and support what we do for these wonderful pups. I know we still need to contact many of you individually to say 'thank you,' and hope to do that soon!

A Big Thank You to Viriginia Linen Service!
Virginia Linen Service donated 30 washable underpads to AAMR. These pads are very comfortable for pups to lie on and very absorbent. They are wonderful especially when pups need just a little extra comfort in their beds. We sincerely appreciate this very generous donation.

Statistically it is more difficult for rescues to place animals over 2 years old, animals with any special physical or medical needs, animals of certain breeds, and animals that are black - especially if they are also large. Why?
Why 'Less Adoptable' Pets Rule
Here are just a few reasons we love "special" pets:
- Older pets are mellower - you don't have to worry about your lamp getting knocked over!
- Physically challenged pets are often unaffected by their handicap - but you still look like a hero when you rescue them!
- With "bad reputation" breeds, you get the chance to prove people wrong with your great dog!
- Dark-furred pets make it easy to accessorize - black goes with everything!
- Pets with behavioral issues allow you to form a tight bond as you overcome obstacles together!
- Big dogs are easier to find when it's time to go to the vet!
