Story
Meet Manny — the brave little heart with the sweetest soul. When Manny first arrived on October 16, 2025, the world felt like a very big and scary place. People were unfamiliar, and everything around him was new. But with time, patience, and lots of love, Manny has started to blossom into a wonderful boy. Manny may take a moment to warm up, but once he trusts you, his gentle and loving personality shines through. Watching him gain confidence has been such a joy. Every small victory — a tail wag, a curious sniff, a happy trot — has shown just how far he has come. Manny finds comfort in his best friend Rudy, and together they make the perfect team. Manny is looking for a patient, loving home that will continue to cheer him on as he grows braver every day. With kindness and understanding, Manny will reward his people with the sweetest loyalty and love.

Story
Meet Katie — a 6-month-old possible Border Collie mix with puppy energy, a sweet soul, and a playful personality that keeps life fun. At around 30 pounds, she’s the perfect size for adventures, couch cuddles, and supervising the household full-time. Katie was found tied to a tree in a busy area, but despite her rough start, she’s remained incredibly loving and gentle. She can be a little timid when meeting new people, but once she knows she’s safe, she turns into a total affection addict who wants nonstop pets and attention. She loves chew toys, gets along great with other dogs and cats, and has fully embraced her self-appointed role of “cat herding specialist.” Katie is also doing wonderfully with crate training and is already showing how smart and eager to learn she is. Katie is looking for a patient, loving family who will continue helping her build confidence and give her the happy ending she deserves. In return, she’ll provide endless laughs, loyal companionship, and plenty of puppy entertainment.

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.
