Story

"She ran calling "WILD.....FIRE"!! That is a haunting song.... I promise, though..I am not a HAUNTER!! But I may love to run around and around and AROUND :) I am a puppy! I am so sweet and cuddly, when i finish running around ;) I have plenty of energy so you HAVE to be ready to burn it off with mental and physical exercise. I am SMART too! Teach me who you want me to be and I will learn! I was found with 4 siblings living (dumped) at the Home Depot...but it was a LUCKY BREAK, cause we were seen by the husband of a rescuer and we got SAVED! Now I am in my foster home and learning the "ropes" ;) Potty training is getting better every day, I mean our foster mom takes us out hourly for potty control and I am really working hard to wait for the next jaunt outside! I also am crate training too! I don't like to pee or poop where I sleep- as long as I don't eat right before bed and go outside as soon as I wake up I am doing great!! I seriously am ready for my family, I LOVE to play and am great with all dogs big, small, old or babies. ADOPT ME SOON!!

She stays right by your side at any pace and enjoys exploring the world calmly and confidently. She tolerates other dogs and does well with children, but her happiest life will be with a calm fur sibling in a quiet adult home.

Story

Age: Estimated DOB 6/29/25 Weight: 57 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, but prefers to live as an only dog Cat friendly: Unknown/not tested Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes **FENCED YARD REQUIRED** Hi there, I'm Gwynn – Your Future Best Friend! 🐾 I’m a 9-month-old pup with a heart full of love and a whole lot of happy energy. I’m ready to find my forever home—whether that’s with a person or a family—where I can share all my positive vibes and become your loyal companion. I’m a smart girl who already knows sit and down, and I’m working hard on stay. Like most young pups, I’ve got some playful energy, and when I meet new people I get excited and might bounce a little—but I’m polite and don’t jump on my new friends. One of my favorite people in the world is a 7-year-old neighbor who comes to play with me every day. I love to play with doggie friends. I live with three German Shepherds right now and at times have been reactive with them sharing our indoor space. As I have gotten more comfortable with the resident dogs, the reactivity has lessened. I’m still figuring out the world and what it means to feel completely safe, so sometimes I can get a little protective of my people. When that happens, I just need a moment to reset—and I’m already learning how to handle those feelings better every day. I would do best as the only dog in the household or with an experienced adopter that will be patient working with me. I’ve even had a fun adventure at a farm! I learned that horses are just really big dogs (once I got used to them), cows are kind of boring, and…well…chickens are still a little scary! But I’m curious and learning new things all the time. I’m not much of a barker—I prefer to show my love through actions, not noise. When it comes to food, I’m a slow eater. I’m making great progress with sharing and trust—I’m comfortable with people around my food—but I’d do best eating in my own space for now while I continue building confidence. I’m otherwise very easygoing, even sharing water bowls with other pups. At night, I’m super flexible—I’m happy to snuggle up in bed with you or sleep peacefully on a dog bed or in my crate (open or closed). My crate is my safe, cozy space. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and loyal companion who’s still growing and learning, I could be the perfect match for you. I promise to bring joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags into your life. Could you be my forever home? 💛 Adoption Fee: $395

Story

Petey is a 30-lb Border Collie mix—or a small dog with a big personality! At 2-years-old, he's a sassy younger sibling to his foster brother Max, always riling Max up in a hilarious way. Petey loves to taunt his brother with his hilariously cute "tough guy" growl when they play, making sure Max knows it's out of love, so they can end up in a classic cuddle puddle. Petey is house-trained and always eager to please. He lets you know when it’s time to go outside and is full of energy and fun. He is crate-trained, but does not enjoy being in the kennel alone. While he’s still learning some manners, he’s as sweet and good-natured as they come.Petey gets along wonderfully with other dogs and absolutely loves having a canine buddy to play and wrestle with—his foster brother has been a huge help in bringing out his confidence and playful side. He gets excited when seeing other dogs on walks, always ready to make a new friend. He’s also good with kids, but since he can be a jumper when he’s excited, a proper introduction is recommended first. Petey cannot live with cats.Petey’s favorite things in life are walks, playing fetch, and wrestling with his dog friends. Squeaky toys and plushies get destroyed with him! He’s happiest when he’s active, so Petey will thrive in a home with a fenced yard or a family committed to giving him plenty of daily exercise in other ways.

Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions.
