Story
Please read the entire bio for this rescue, it will provide all the information that one needs to decide if they would like to apply to adopt from SCMR. Humphrey is no longer available for adoption, because of his declining health, SCMR feels it is in his best interest to keep him in his loving foster home for the time he has left.  A home that is familiar and where he enjoys his foster siblings.  He is 9 years old and is doing well considering his health issues.     If anyone would like to help sponsor his medical bills   (treating his poly-arthritis), please feel free to send a   donation, and be sure to let us know the donation is for   him.  We will place your name on his website as a   sponsor angel, if you would like.     Out-of-state adoptions are possible; however, the approved adoptive home is responsible for making the necessary arrangements to pick up their new little one.  To be considered to adopt me, please fill out an APPLICATION.  NOTE: SCMR does not adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 years or homes with Electric Fences. You can help make a difference one dog at a time. If you would like to sponsor one of our babies, we accept online donations via PayPal or send a check to us at P.O. Box 2005, Chattanooga, TN 37409. We thank you for whatever you can help us with. Any donation is appreciated and is tax deductible, as allowed by law,  as we are a qualified non-profit 501(c)3 organization.    All our males are sent with BELLY BANDS!    for a one time Donation that goes direct to SCMR please go to our paypal link: November 5, 2026, 7:10 pm

Story
Hello, I'm Goose. I am a Bichon Frise dog that came in with several others. We were confiscated from a backyard breeder that had over 50 dogs. We were all very filthy with matted fur and pretty thin. I am an older gentleman, estimated at 15 years old. But I am still quite spry and in good health. I have chronic dry eye that will require daily ointment for the rest of my life, but I tolerate my medication quite well. I'm lucky enough to have landed in a lovely foster home where they have learned that I adore belly rubs, cuddles and naps. I'm not a big fan of being left alone once I am attached to you, I like to follow my person like a shadow. I get along well with other dogs, but not so much cats. Unfortunately, I am not quite housebroken, but I do well wearing a belly band. So, if you have the extra room in your heart and home for a senior lovebug to live out his golden years, please consider giving me a chance!

Story
Hello, I'm Diamond. I am a Bichon Frise dog that came in with several others. We were confiscated from a backyard breeder that had over 50 dogs. We were all very filthy with matted fur and pretty thin. We are what VOCAL calls a "Project Dog", which means, due to our background, we will need extra love and patience as we adjust to our new homes. We are very shy and not used to much human interaction. Nor do we really know how to walk on a leash or potty outside. I am the most scared and flighty of the group, so I will definitely need the extra work and TLC. I think with time in the right environment I will come around. I don't like to be alone so I would definitely need a confident dog friend to go home so that I can take comfort from them and they can help me learn to trust people. So, if you have the extra room in your heart and home for a dog that needs a little more work to learn how to trust and be a normal pup, please consider giving me a chance!

We were all very filthy with matted fur and pretty thin.

We are very shy and not used to much human interaction. Nor do we really know how to walk on a leash or potty outside. I'm a bit of an older gal, estimated around 12 years old. Despite my age, I am in good health and still peppy. Though I am shy and nervous, once I am being held, I am very sweet and gentle. I take confidence and comfort in being around other dogs, so a home with another dog will be very beneficial. So, if you have the extra room in your heart and home for a dog that needs a little more work to learn how to trust and be a normal pup, please consider giving me a chance!

Story
Hello, I'm Swan. I am a Bichon Frise dog that came in with several others. We were confiscated from a backyard breeder that had over 50 dogs. We were all very filthy with matted fur and pretty thin. I am an older lady, estimated around 14 years old, but am in decent health. I have cataracts so I have extremely limited vision, if any. I may also be mostly deaf. Despite that, I still get around pretty well and enjoy being pet. I'm lucky enough to have found a lovely foster home. These changes have been pretty confusing for me since I can't see or hear much, so I tend to cry a lot because I think I am alone and can't find my person. But they've discovered that I really just love to nap all day cuddled up on a lap, so my perfect home would be with someone retired or home all the time and looking for a new cuddle buddy. So, if you have the extra room in your heart and home for a sweet senior girl who is just looking for a warm lap to sleep on for the rest of her days, please consider giving me a chance!
