Tough Mutts Dog Rescue - Special Needs - Meet Bianco!

Bianco is currently in a great foster home and is available for adoption! :) Bianco is blind but can seem to hear. Here are three things we love about Bianco! 1) We love how he is always smiling! 2) We love how he walks right beside you and every few steps gently tilts his head to nudge you and make sure you are both where you should be. 3) We love how he thinks every food bowl is a play toy. He eats and then proceeds to pick up his bowl and bounce it around. He always knows where that bowl lands and grabs it right back up. We know he is blind, so what? ESP? (Yes, he now has a ball to play with) Bianco has wonderful crate manners and loves to be right up next to you. The only real accommodation we have had to make is the use of non-tip and mounted bowls to prevent him from stepping in and spilling his food/water. He loves to be brushed, which is good given his beautiful long white tail. ON 8/17/15, we learned Bianco loves music!! When a family member was playing violin yesterday, Bianco began to dance. He would walk in circles (like he was chasing his tail but not as fast) and would "dance" until the music stopped. Then, Bianco would stop. When the music would start again, Bianco would start dancing again. What a smart dog! Let your musician friends know this may be the dog for them! He has had all of his shots and has been neutered. If you are interested in adopting Bianco, please contact toughmuttsrescue@yahoo.com or visit the website at http://www.toughmuttsrescue.org/

Tough Mutts Dog Rescue - Special Needs - Meet Coconut!

Coconut needs a foster home!! Please consider fostering! It's a very rewarding experience!! She is available for adoption!! Coconut is completely deaf and has very limited vision. Her favorite thing to do is to jump on someone's lap and cuddle! She enjoys following you around and checking out her surroundings. She is wonderfully well-behaved when being given a bath! She just stands there and lets you wash her. She seems to be just happy for the attention. She loves to be brushed! She does bark for a little while when placed in the crate but then settles down and gets comfortable for her naps. She loves everyone and wants to be right up next to you! She also loves to be scratched behind the ears! She has had all of her shots and has been spayed. If you would like to adopt Coconut, please go to the Tough Mutts Rescue page and fill out an adoption application. :) Thank you! For any questions, please email toughmuttsrescue@yahoo.com

ADOPTED! Shaggy

Shaggy is still looking for his forever family. He is a super-sweet & sociable guy who happens to be FIV positive. "FIV is mainly passed from cat to cat through deep bite wounds, the kind that usually occur outdoors during aggressive fights and territorial disputes—the perfect reason to keep your cat inside...FIV does not seem to be commonly spread through sharing food bowls and litter boxes, social grooming, sneezing and other casual modes of contact. Please contact Rachel Hupp on Facebook. " https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv

Millie

Hi! My name is Millie! I am a beautiful spayed young yellow lab/husky mix, born on 8/3/13. I'm an outside dog who is about 50 pounds and I'm up to date on all of my shots. I am solid white/blonde with a medium to short hair coat. I respond well to basic commands and am used to young children and am GREAT around them as well as adults. :) I have a very loving home but since I've grown up I truly need more room to run than where I'm at currently and since I'm on a farm I've grown accustomed to chasing the livestock here. My owners are extremely saddened about needing to re-home me. :( Please contact Heather at armstrhk@jmu.edu or at 540-383-8657.

Peanut
