My story

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

Jovi is an adorable male tan-and-white puppy whose Mom is 3/4 Chihuahua, 1/4 Pekingese, born on 11/27/2025. We have a photo of Dad to share, but no Idea of his breed mix. Mom and Dad did make some cute puppies, who have really loving personalities, and these will be the only ones as we paid to spay/neuter the parents. Jovi is a snuggle bunny who ends up somewhere on Foster Mom’s body in the morning. They are being fostered with love, and a strong bond with humans. If you prefer Jovi to sleep in a dog bed, he can do that as he is a young dog. We expect him to be smallish to medium size when fully grown. Jovim has started on vaccinations, and a rebate is available for neuter when he is old enough. Adoption fee $275 This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to:

More about this rescue

Rutherford County Humane Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that has been serving Rutherford County since 1979, with the mission to significantly improve the lives of unwanted and neglected animals, and to measurably decrease this number through our spay and neuter programs, volunteer foster homes, and outreach and education. We are an independent organization that works in collaboration with other area animal advocacy groups. All of our efforts depend on our passionately compassionate volunteers, and financial support from the community. We have made the decision to use our resources to continue promoting the number one solution to our pet overpopulation problem - and that is spay/neuter.
