My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Our sweet Tex! This boy will tug at your heart strings! For TWO weeks a Good Samaritan worked on trying to get him out of the woods. He was so terrified and so starved! She finally got him to get close enough to leash him by stretching out on her belly in the road with raw meat in her hand. He has been failed by humans in the worst way. He has been with us almost 3 years. He is making VERY SLOW progress, but he is progressing. He plays with Sally and they are so cute together. When he is outside in the play yard he runs and plays ball just like any happy dog. Even being so frightened, he has NEVER shown the slightest aggression toward anyone. He is heartworm negative. This guy must have a secure fenced yard and a patient understanding and calm home. He is really such a very special guy. Please give him a chance.

More about this rescue

HAA is a group of volunteers moving dogs from the Hardeman County animal control kill facility. We place them in a shelter that is located in the county landfill, but operated by the HAA volunteers. The dogs are then evaluated, cared for by a veterinarian if necessary, and placed on our list of available, adoptable dogs. All dogs taken in are strays, owner surrenders or breeder throwaways. HAA protects the dogs from euthanasia, adopt them out to appropriate homes or deliver them to rescue groups who can place them. Very seldom do we know the history of the dogs.

The county has agreed to let volunteers run the shelter within limits. They will let us care for the dogs and try to get them adopted out. Our job is to keep the shelter from getting full. Once it is full then dogs will be put down. We are always in need of people to help care for the dogs. We also need supplies and money for medical attention.

We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and contributions are tax deductible. We have an account set up at the local vet for anyone wishing to help with medical funds: Old Hatchie Veterinary Clinic, 1017 N. Main St, Bolivar, TN 38008 will accept funds in our account, "Hardeman Adoptable Animal." For vet clinic credit card donations, please call 731-658-3555. We thank you for any and all help.

For information, please call one of the volunteers. Charla Cooper - 731-234-4421, Elizabeth Hensley - 731-609-2059, Jennifer Smallwood - 731-609-0408
