My story

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

Hello,
My story starts with being dumped with a companion in a large field by a rural church. We lived out in the field well over a month until a kind lady noticed us and gained our trust. Next step was going into the rescue and starting our vet work process. The vet estimated us to be one year to 1.5 years old. I am now neutered , up to date on vaccinations , micro chipped and heartworm negative.
I was described as a small-but-mighty superstar!
Looking for a loyal sidekick who brings the perfect mix of energy and snuggles? That would be me ,I may be small, but I have a big heart and even bigger desire to be your best friend.
My foster mom described me as energetic playmate who loves squeaky toys, treat time and shows loves to show off my zoomie skills. The minute you sit down , I transform into a sweet coach potato. I am happy to cuddle right by your side . I love it when you pet and love me.
I love kids , friendly with other dogs and cat tolerant. Probably a home with no cats would be less of a temptation for me.
I am crate trained and sleep well all night in one. I am doing good on a leash , not perfect but catching on. I am making progress on potty training, but I have not perfected it yet! I think I am the package of playful , snuggly and loyal
My adoption fee covers transportation from Tennessee.

Additional adoption info

Safe Haven Animal Rescue Program (SHARP) is based in rural Polk County Tennessee. We have no shelter or animal control in our county. Currently we are the only 501C3 non-profit in the county. We advertise our animals out of state ,which gives them better odds of a happy long life.
Our dogs and cats are fostered in TN with loving families. You will have the opportunity to speak with the foster of the animal you are interested in. All our Cats and Dogs are completely vetted ,which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations , microchipped (dogs only)and heartworm testing (dogs) . All of them come with complete medical records ,which travel with them. Their adoption fee covers a health certificate from the vet and transport fee.
Our rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in the Michigan area. Due to this it is not possible to meet them prior to their adoption. Our dogs and cats are transported up to their new owner’s biweekly! We have a 14 day no questions asked money back guarantee and the dog/cats can be returned to us if things don't work out. We try hard to get good matches in our homes so that everyone has a happy life together! To date we have placed over a thousand dogs and cats in loving homes!

More about this rescue

2008 a small group of animal lovers met and started a group to be named Safe Haven Animal Rescue Program (SHARP). These animal lovers personally saw the effects of a rural county with no animal shelters. Polk County is in the far South-eastern corner of Tennessee. It is a very rural county with most of its 442 sq. miles belonging to the Cherokee National Forest. Unfortunately, the beauty of the mountains and forest has drawn people to drop family pets off to survive on their own.
SHARP’s dedicated members knew becoming a 501(c)3 would help with fund raising and achieve long term goals. With our new status achieved, SHARP put together a new mission statement and strategic plan to guide the group forward.
Our group consists of hard-working everyday volunteers with the passion to give time and love to every dog or cat taken in. Currently we use a foster based program to house our dogs and cats. Each dog or cat taken in is given all vaccinations, heartworm checked (dogs)and spayed/neutered before being offered for adoption. SHARP dogs and cats are kept with their foster parent and treated like a member of their own family. The foster-based system allows us to give detail to potential families about each dog’s and cat's characteristics and needs. Of course, the tears flow when it is time to hand a dog or cat over to a new family, but the tears are always followed up with a smile knowing one more dog or cat has a forever home.
