Story
Hi there! I'm Marshmallow. I am a Bichon Frise dog that came in with four other pups. We were owned by a backyard breeder that had over 50 dogs. We were all very filthy with matted fur and pretty thin. We are a bit nervous at first but warm up quickly. Due to our background we will likely need a little bit of extra love and patience in our new homes. I am a little bit more reserved than my friends, but come around quickly. I was overwhelmed for my grooming appointment due to fear and would need a little bit more patience. Once I know I can trust you, I will absolutely melt into your hands. I do well with other dogs my size and would likely benefit from having another friendly dog in the home with me!

We are a bit nervous at first but warm up quickly. Due to our background we will likely need a little bit of extra love and patience in our new homes. I am a little bit more independent and energetic than my friends. I am probably the most confident one of the group. I walk pretty nicely on a leash and ride well in a car. I was very well behaved for my grooming appointment too! I do pretty well with other dogs my size, though I can be a little bit pusy with them. At first meeting, I mean seem a tad standoffish, but I am easily won over and become very affectionate!

Story
Hi, my name is Cloud. I am a Bichon Frise dog that came in with four other pups. We were owned by a backyard breeder that had over 50 dogs. We were all very filthy with matted fur and pretty thin. We were a bit nervous at first but warmed up quickly. Due to our background we will likely need a little bit of extra love and patience in our new homes. I am a calm girl who likes order. I am very sweet and I love to be with my person. I am a companion dog to a T. I don't do well with cats, I will bark and chase them. I do listen and will stop if asked, but my drive for cats is pretty strong right now. But I am great with other dogs. I do like order and can get nervous when dogs are having "fun". I was probably the Grand Poobah and needed to keep the order in the pack. I am crate, potty and pad trained. I would be great for an older couple or single adult. If you are looking for a calm, mature companion dog pick me!

Hiya! I am Cottonball! I am a Bichon Frise dog that came in with four other pups. We were owned by a backyard breeder that had over 50 dogs. We were all very filthy with matted fur and pretty thin. We were a bit nervous at first but warmed up quickly. Due to our background we will likely need a little bit of extra love and patience in our new homes. I am the life of the party. I am fun, loving, adventurous and cuddly. I am kennel, potty and pad trained. I don't do well with cats. I bark and chase them. I do listen and will stop if asked, but my drive for cats is pretty strong right now. But I am great with other dogs and love to play! I have a great sniffer, so I love to search out bunnies, chase butterflies and birds in the yard. If its in my yard, I'm going to check it out. I get the zoomies, get goofy to play and will ask to be picked up when I'm unsure. I think I would be great in a house with kids. I would love to go on adventures and put my head out the car window to sniff the world around me! If you are looking for a fun, goofy, adventurous young adult dog, pick me!

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.

Meet Cotton Ball, a 17-year-old Bichon with a heart full of love and a zest for life! This sweet, spunky senior boy may be a little older, but he certainly hasn’t lost his playful spirit. Cotton Ball enjoys having fun, loves a good nap, and is happiest when he’s getting attention and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. He’s proof that age is just a number, and he’s ready to spend his golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and a family who will cherish his sweet personality.

Story
Meet Dacia, a curious and gentle seven pound, five year old soul who is hoping to find her forever family! This precious baby has had a pretty rough start in life. So she can be pretty shy when she meets new people. Also her leash skills are not very good so a fenced yard would be best.This amazing sweetheart is a quiet and independent one. She is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a dog who likes to hang out on the couch to watch TV or maybe go for a nice Sunday drive. She is always happy just curling up in her bed enjoying some quiet time. One of Dacia's best qualities is her easy-going nature she gets along well with other dogs and would be a great addition to a home with an existing furry friend. She is hoping to find a family that will give her the love and care she deserves and, in return, she promises to be a devoted and faithful friend. Could you be the one this darling girl has been waiting for? Adoption fee is $375.00. For more information Please call 352-502-2379.October 11, 2026, 6:50 pm
