Story
Cosette is an extremely cuddly, affectionate pup who loves nothing more than claiming a lap for nap time. She’s also delightfully goofy and has a habit of running straight into furniture like it personally offended her, which only adds to her charm. From the very beginning, Cosette has been confident and brave, jumping right into playtime with a much larger dog as if she’s his equal. She’s already picking up on potty training impressively, with recent nights and days accident-free. She gets along wonderfully with cats and has even formed a close friendship with the resident cat, complete with enthusiastic wrestling matches. Cosette is sweet, adaptable, and incredibly easygoing, even staying calm and relaxed through baths and nail care. She would thrive in a loving home that enjoys a confident, cuddly pup with a silly streak and a big heart.

Story
🌸 Meet Annabelle – Sweet, Calm, and So Ready for Love 🌸 Annabelle is a fully vetted 3-year-old Heeler/Pitbull mix who currently weighs about 67 lbs — and she’s loved food a little extra since getting spayed, so she’s carrying a bit of happy weight right now. 🍗❤️ She’s a very calm, gentle girl who isn’t overly active, but she’d do great with a family willing to take her on daily walks to help her get back in shape and enjoy some fresh air. 🐾 Annabelle came into rescue in February 2025 in rough shape, with some hair loss from flea allergies and scars around her face. With time, care, and love, she’s looking so much better — and her true beauty is shining through. ✨ She’s sweet and easygoing, playful with other dogs but also perfectly content to just relax. Whether she’s hanging out with a canine buddy or soaking up attention as the only dog, Annabelle is happy as long as she has people who love her. 💕 She gets along wonderfully with children. (We’re not sure about cats just yet.) One of her favorite things is curling up on a soft couch next to her family — she’s not high-energy or high-maintenance, just a snuggly companion who wants to be near her people. 🛋️ The only thing that rattles her a little are thunderstorms. During storms, she may need some calming support like CBD or, even better, the comfort of her human nearby to remind her she’s safe. 📍 Located in Cleveland, TN 🚗 Transport available to other states 💰 Adoption fee: $150 Annabelle has been through a lot, but she’s blossomed into the sweetest soul who’s so ready to start her forever chapter. Could you be the one to give this beautiful girl the cozy, loving home she deserves? 💞

Story
Miss Priss (a.k.a. Prissy Pants, Heartbreaker Extraordinaire) 💋🐾 Miss Priss is about 2 years old and truly something else. Her sister Missy found her forever home a few months ago, and now it’s Prissy’s turn to shine. When she was younger, she had a bit of a bossy streak — but with age came wisdom, sweetness, and a whole lot of irresistible charm. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she decides you’re her person… game over. This girl LOVES hard. She’s incredibly affectionate, walks beautifully on a leash, and gets along great with other dogs — boys, girls, you name it. Now let’s address the elephant in the room… Miss Priss is the biggest flirt in rescue right now. She knows exactly how to get wined and dined by the fellas, and she’s not even subtle about it. Ask her if she’s flirting with a new man and she’ll flash the biggest, proudest smile you’ve ever seen. Current “main man” is Teddy, but she’s also been spotted batting her eyelashes at Bon Jovi and Larry. (Shhh… what happens in rescue stays in rescue. 🤫) Prissy is strictly a dog-and-human kind of gal — no small animals or farm critters for her. But when it comes to people and canine friends, she’s pure love wrapped in a sweet, adorable package. We truly cannot believe she’s still waiting for her forever home. She is gentle, loving, hilarious, and just an all-around joy to be around. 📍 Located in Cleveland, TN 🚗 Transport available to other states 💲 Adoption fee: $150 If you’re looking for a sweet girl with personality, charm, and just a tiny bit of sass — Miss Priss is your girl. 💕
