Story
Meet Effie – A Brilliant, Playful Sweetheart Ready to Steal Your Heart! Effie is a stunning Border Collie mix with a beautiful black-and-white coat, soulful eyes, and a personality that will win you over in seconds. At her core, Effie is whip-smart — a true testament to her Border Collie heritage. She picks up new tricks with ease, understands routines quickly, and thrives in an environment where her mind is engaged and her heart is loved. That said, Effie isn’t just brains — she’s got a spunky side, too! A playful pup through and through, Effie loves a good game of fetch, zoomies in the yard, and interactive toys that challenge her. She’ll gladly take you on outdoor adventures, then curl up beside you afterward for a well-earned cuddle. She’s the perfect balance of active and affectionate. Like many intelligent dogs, Effie can be a little stubborn at times — but who isn’t, when they know what they want? Her independent streak just adds to her charm. With a patient, confident adopter who understands the needs of a smart, high-energy breed, Effie will thrive and form a strong, loyal bond. Effie is looking for a home that will keep her mentally and physically stimulated. She’d love an adopter who’s active, maybe even into dog sports, hiking, or just lots of fetch in the backyard. She would do best with someone who appreciates her smarts and is ready to guide her with consistency, kindness, and lots of positive reinforcement. Whether you’re looking for a loyal hiking buddy, a future agility star, or simply a clever and loving companion, Effie could be your perfect match. Are you ready to meet your new best friend? Effie’s waiting to meet you — and she’s already dreaming of all the fun you’ll have together.

This adorable dog has a big, goofy smile, expressive ears (one up, one flopped--seriously cute!), and a beautiful coat that's a mix of black, brindle, and white. He's got that happy, tongue--out look of a dog who's just excited to be around people. His shiny coat and those soulful eyes say he's ready for adventure-- or a snuggle session on the couch!

Story
Beetroot’s mama was dropped in our town. We took her in so she could birth safely and her puppies and her would have a chance at a good life they deserve. Beetroot is a very sweet, cuddly puppy. He loves people and playing. He bounds up to greet us no matter how far away he sees us from. His sibling he was bonded with has found a home, so he’s feeling a little lonesome and hoping to find a family with a lot of attention to give him.

Story
Meet Zelly! Zelly really has quite the story. He came to Hound Dog Holler from Memphis Animal Services and needed help quick. He had skull fractures from being beaten with a shovel. Although this was a sad part of Zelly's life, everything is looking up for him now! He's been at the farm since early May and is enjoying life. Trusting people has taken some time, but he's getting better at it. He does well with other dogs too once he gets to know them. Zelly was born for the farm life. He wants to work with you, hop in the truck, and help you with your chores. He does well around livestock too. If you're interested in Zelly, please reach out and give him the next chapter that he deserves.
