Story
Gene is a handsome, AKC-registered purebred Border Collie originally purchased with breeding rights. He has a charming personality and loves water, food, and outdoor activities.Gene is energetic, intelligent, and sometimes vocal. He is not vicious or excessively aggressive, but he may occasionally challenge other dogs, which can lead to conflicts. He is also protective of his food.Gene is ok with a traditional metal wire kennel. He appears more comfortable in a travel kennel or when safely secured with a tether that allows some freedom of movement. He enjoys having room to move and explore.He has been diagnosed with hip problems that may require surgery in the future. His prospective owner should be prepared to provide appropriate veterinary care and accommodate any physical limitations related to his condition.Gene would do best in a loving, stable home where he can be the only pet and receive individualized attention.

Story
Meet Sirius! Sirius has been waiting a long time for his forever home. He is one of the original S litter puppies who came to Noah’s Arc shortly after being born in January 2025. Their mom is a Border Collie, and while we don’t know who dad was, we do know these puppies inherited plenty of intelligence, personality, and heart. What started as a litter of eight is now down to just three, with Sirius being one of them. Sirius is incredibly smart, affectionate, and loving. He truly thrives on human connection and has so much to offer the person willing to give him a little time to settle in and build confidence. He can be timid when faced with something new, but he has shown us again and again that with patience and encouragement, he can overcome those little fears. Sirius spent several months in a foster home, originally as a temporary placement during bad weather, but he did so well that he stayed for an extended period. He lived with two cats and a female German Shepherd who definitely ruled the roost! Sirius was comfortable sharing his home with both the cats and a confident, dominant dog. He also made wonderful progress with house training. He learned to use the fenced backyard reliably and settled into a home routine beautifully. When Sirius first went into foster, even stairs could be intimidating. But with time and encouragement, he learned that they weren't so scary after all. His foster stay gave us a glimpse of the dog we know is in there — a sweet, loving boy who simply needs someone willing to let him build confidence at his own pace. Sirius has been back at Noah’s Arc this summer, and we know he may need a little time to ramp back up. But we will continue working with him, and we will never give up on finding the right match for him. Sirius comes with four sponsored training classes at Sublime K9, paid for by Noah’s Arc, so his new family can continue building his confidence and setting him up for success. Sirius has waited long enough. We know his person is out there, and we're going to keep looking until we find them. Could Sirius be the one you've been waiting for? Noah’s Arc Animal Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue serving East Tennessee since 1991. We are committed to rescuing homeless dogs and cats, providing the medical care they need, and helping them find loving, lifelong homes. Our pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick prevention, dewormed, and examined by a veterinarian. Dogs are heartworm tested and cats are FIV/FeLV tested when age appropriate.

Story
Hazel is a 7 year old Blue Heeler. Was runt of litter. Hazel is loving & loyal and I think she'd do best with a couple or single person (with no other pets) who can put a lot of attention into her training and behavioral needs. Hazel can be very anxious/excited at times. I'm not sure how she'd do with other dogs since I've not given her a chance to be around them. No cats. Shes good a dog boarding. She is microchipped but its not activated. I'd be willing to reimburse new owner up to $200 towards her first vet visit. Vaccinations are due for updating. She does not due well at vet due to anxiety and fear. Hazel loves playing with toys, playing fetch, being walked (pulls on leash), treats, belly rubs, and snuggling up with you. Inquire for more info.
