Def a/k/a Jagger American Staffordshire Terrier & Feist Mix Lenoir, NC

This group of 9 rock 'n rollers were rescued from an outdoor-only situation. They were surrendered after the rescuer saw a sibling hit on the road and strongly encouraged the owner to let her rehome them.

With a guesstimated birthday of Dec. 4, 2020, each pup is sweet but timid. They're in foster homes with families working to socialize them so they'll recognize people are friends.

Def's foster has cats and they have reported he hyper-focuses on them. Cats in his forever family would probably not be appreciative of this attention. A family which include bigger dogs would be best for Def. Although still hesitant of strangers, Def is working on his leash-walking skills. He is hesitant to follow until he gains confidence with his handler.

**********

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC. Available animals can be seen most Saturdays at Tractor Supply in Lenoir from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.petpartnersrescue.org.
