More about the shelter
ALL-AMERICAN MUTT RESCUE, INC. is a foster-based animal rescue organization that has grown out of love and compassion for animals. Located in Huddleston, VA, we are truly in the heart of Virginia – 30 minutes from Lynchburg, 30 minutes from Smith Mountain Lake, 30 minutes from Bedford, and 60 minutes from Roanoke.
Our motto is “Rescue … rehome … real love” and we try to live it every day. We rescue animals in need of new homes and loving families. We make sure each of them is spayed or neutered and up-to-date on all routine vaccinations. If other medical care or treatment is needed, we get that for them as well.
We welcome them into our homes and our lives and really get to know their personalities and their needs. Then we make it our mission to re-home them … and to place them in the forever home that will be perfect for them. Some of them really need to have another pup companion while others will do fine being an ‘only pet.’ Some love having children to play with while others prefer being with adult people. Some do well sharing a home with cats or other small pets while others, well … not so much. And the only way you know this is by living with them!
We also work to educate and encourage pet owners to spay or neuter their animals to a) help their pets lead longer, healthier lives and b) help reduce the numbers of homeless and unwanted animals in our Central Virginia communities. It is such an easy thing to do! Not only will it benefit your pet and your family, but it will help reduce the numbers of wonderful, adoptable animals that are euthanized every year. Please be part of the solution
We have an adoption application process, vet references are checked, home visits are required, an adoption contract is required, and the adoption fees vary .
About Chessie
Distance: 289 Miles
Hi … my name is Chessie and here are some things you need to know about me! After you read through my bio, if you think I might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete your adoption application online. I AM A SUPER SENIOR!
I am a big sweet girl who just loves to be loved. I may be a senior, but I still have lots of love to give. All I need now is a family of my very own to share the rest of my life with. I will be sooooo good … and I’ll do everything I can to bring joy to your life. I’d love to have someone who would take time every day to scratch my ears and rub my belly. That makes me very happy. I also love to go on walks with my people. I have nice house manners and I am calm enough to be a good companion. Just tell me what you want to do! Oh ... I would really love to be an only child. I get along fine with all my foster friends that I have known for a while, but sometimes I don't meet new dogs well.
I’m not too pushy demanding attention, but I really want to stay close to where you are. If you tell me where you want me to be, I’ll do my best to try to stay there. Here at my foster home I don’t have to ‘ask’ to go outside to potty because we get to go out in playgroups several times every day, but I know that’s where I’m supposed to go. I will even stay in a crate if you ask me too even though it’s not my favorite place to be.
I don’t mind being leash walked, but I would LOVE to have a fenced yard to play in. It will keep me safe because I do have a bad habit of wandering off. My size sort of scares people sometimes, so my search for friends does not always make other people happy.
My Foster Mom says I’m sorta smart. I do know ‘sit’ and most of the time I will come when she calls me (unless I’m busy doing something else!) I sorta like to ride in the car. I don’t get to do it very often, but I think I could really learn to like it as long as I could be with my people.
So … here are some other important things about me … I weigh about 65 lbs (ok maybe I could lose a few pounds), I am spayed, up-to-date on my shots, and I am microchipped.
I do come with papers … Adoption Papers … the best kind. And my adoption fee is $75.
Note from the AAMR Adoption Committee: 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 and home visit to see if Chessie 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. More questions …. email them to weluvpups@hotmail.com
