This Boy is SWEET!

Handsome guy, Myles, is a 4-year-old male black and tan. A former breeder dog, Myles is still learning how to trust people and other dogs but has come a long way since arriving at his foster home. He follows the other dog in his foster home around all the time and has learned a lot from her. Because of that, Myles must go to a home with another dog who he can continue to learn from. Once he feels comfortable with you, he'll follow you around, too, and will want to be with you. Myles would make a great addition to a family with older children and a dog he can hang out with. He’s a very sweet dog; he just needs a little time to feel comfortable with his new family. But he will get there!

Our must-haves for handsome Mr. Myles include
- A fenced yard
- A home without small children  - A home without male dogs
- A small, young, adult, well-socialized female dog to be his buddy

- Breeder dog experience is a plus   - No apartments, high-rises, or condos

Wonderful, Cuddly, Energetic and Funny 3-Year-Old Beauty

Pebbles came from North Carolina when her owner had to move and could not take her dogs with her.  She has been with us for a month now, and she is wonderful!  She is sweet, cuddly, and absolutely thrives on attention and play.  Everyone she meets loves Pebbles.  She can be a bit shy around men when she first meets them and is not fond of little kids. She doesn’t show aggression, but they make her uncomfortable.

Pebbles has a very high prey drive.  She loves her walks and does nicely until she sees a squirrel, chipmunk, bunny, or bird, then she barks and goes into hunter mode, and she is strong.  She walks 1/2 a mile 3 times a day - morning, afternoon, and evening along with shorter walks.  She doesn’t like to potty in the yard but rather takes care of her business when she’s walking.

She has done lots of local car trips and travels well in the car. When home alone she has a pen area in which she stays. She enjoys going there for a little alone time even when we are home.  She is allowed on the furniture with us and is learning to use her ramps.

Pebbles is very energetic and so much fun!! She especially likes playing with her bunny toy.  She does a happy dance when she sees any of us and then zooms around in circles.  This girl is a special little lady!

Our must-haves for beautiful Pebbles include:
- A fenced yard
- Someone who could be home a lot would be good for her; no more than 4-6 hours for the new owner to be gone
- No apartments, high-rises, or condos (anything with shared walls) for possible barking and bothering the neighbors
- Needs to be the only dog because she likes all the attention

What a unique and tough little pup!

Chico has not had a good life. He came to us from North Carolina, where, we believe, he was kept in a crate when he was a puppy. The crate was too small for him, not letting his legs grow properly, and he was malnourished.

Chico is a sweet boy, who wants to follow you everywhere and be your little shadow. He is fine with other dogs but doesn’t really interact with them much. He’s more interested in being with his humans. He is not comfortable with someone picking him up, especially strangers. He will play with toys some but is more interested in snuggling in a dog bed.

Children must be respectful of his space as he was not treated well at the last home, where he was pestered by the younger child. Chico will come to you in his own correctly sized crate.

Please consider Chico, he deserves the last part of his life to be a happy and peaceful one! See more photos and get details on his pet page, here!

This little one is under a year old and is a Dachshund/Australian Shepherd mix who has no idea she's Special Needs! 

Gretchen came from Alabama when she was turned in by her owner because she could not care for her blindness and deafness. Gretchen does not know she is special needs, all she knows is she is loving life. She is all puppy, so do not apply if you are not prepared and have experience training a puppy. We are going to recommend a book for anyone interested in adopting her called “Through A Dark Silence: Loving and Living with Your Blind and Deaf Dog” by Debbie Bauer.

Gretchen loves attention! She is simply a joy! She is learning not to jump on people for attention or because she’s happy to see you. Some of this could be puppy energy, but it is something that will need to be worked on. She will potty outside if kept on a schedule or use puppy pads.

It’s best if you have a very playful dog or puppy yourself so she has another dog to interact with and play with. She is VERY smart!

She does well on a leash but does not like a crate. She will have no problem finding herself around your house or yard. Nothing stops her!

She has chosen a full-size blanket as her favorite possession. She drags it with her everywhere.  Gretchen is full of energy and is so full of love. She is the sweetest girl, sleeps in the big bed, and loves a piece of ice to chew on. Please don’t let her disability scare you, sometimes I forget she is deaf and blind. BTW, Gretchen’s favorite blanket will be accompanying her to her forever home!  Those two are inseparable.

She is so smart and learns easily! Remember, Gretchen doesn’t need sympathy; all she needs is a family to love her and provide her with structure, so she knows what to expect. Please contact her foster family with any questions.

 Happy 11 year old Bonded Sister and Brother

Harley and Sparkle came from AR when the family could no longer care for them due to declining health of the family.

You could not ask for a more friendly pair of Dachshunds. They don’t know a stranger! They might bark at a stranger but with their tails wagging. They will follow you around or sit with you when you are chillin' on the couch. They would also love the big bed if you’d let them.

They get along with all dogs but Harley can be a little pushy with other males. He’s getting better since he’s been neutered.

These are our must haves for these two:

• You have to be their forever and last home
• You have too havve a fenced in yard
• You need home a lot but they are also fine if you must be out of the house, they will just snooze in a big bed together
• No apartment, high rises, or condos as they do like to bark at strange noises; they are Dachshunds after all
• Continue to work on reducing their weight to a healthy number

Please consider giving these two sweeties their last forever home. You’ll not regret doing that for them. See more photo and additional information about them on their page page, here.

Simply irresistable! Who doesn’t love a frosty face?

Lady was dumped at a shelter in East Tennessee when her owner went into a nursing home and no one in the family would take her.

Lady does take a bit to warm up to strangers. She was scared to death when she came to us but after she had time to decompress, she became a happy, lovely girl. Lady loves sleeping in her fluffy calming bed but would prefer to be with you in your bed, of course.  She also loves to share the recliner for a nap or to catch the latest movie.  This little lady will even play a little if you have another small dog but mostly, she wants to keep your lap warm.  But first, you must give her time to learn that you are ok and she is safe.

Lady doesn’t like the rain or snow so a puppy pad would be best for those days when she cannot go outside.

Our must haves for this sweet girl are:  - A fenced in yard   - Someone home most of the time  
- No apartments or high rises as she will bark at strange noises

If you think you want to give this sweet, beautiful girl her forever home, please fill out our online adoption application.  We will contact you after we call your vet. Read more about her and see additional photos by visiting Lady's pet page, here!
