Story
Pappy is, what we call in rescue, a “very good boy!” He is young; estimated to be between 1-2 years old. He weighs 45-50 pounds and we believe he is a red Border Collie/ Great Pyrenees mix. This is an educated guess, based on his coloring and double back do claws, so Great Pyrenees mix is very likely. Pappy has interacted favorably with many other dogs in rescue. He is most friendly with female dogs and submissive males and super friendly with people! He has a gentle nature and is affectionate. He will be a fun and easy addition to any active family or individual wanting to add a 4-legged companion who will be an eager partner in crime and a constant source of unconditional love. He is pretty good on a leash and crate trained.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Calling all families looking for an energetic, playful goof ball of a dog! This boy is it! Archie is a fun-loving, romp in the yard, get dirty kind of guy. He hasn't met a dog or person that he doesn't love. He is looking for high adventure and maybe even a doggy sibling or two (he can wear them out!). Archie is crate-trained, needs some work on potty-training, and also practice riding in a car (he gets car sick but can overcome this). If you are ready to turn your dull days into epic adventures, then Archie is waiting for you!FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
She was an owner surrender on 3-1-23 & is ready for her furever home. Xena LOVES going on car rides! She has alot of energy when on a leash & wants to explore. We believe she is a border collie/shepard mix. She's 63lbs, utd on shots, & spayed. Also thinking she's about 3yo & HW negative. She does good with people & enjoys playing fetch all day. She wants someone who can let her run & play & let her rest at the end of the day cuddled up with lots of love! She is little shy at first but is very eager to please. SUPER SMART!! Xena prefers to be the ONLY animal so she can soak up all the attention! Would do EXCELLENT in Agility. Has been through basic obedience classes!

Story
This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation FREE if picked up in TN, $100 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. She has been waiting for a new home since August, 2024! Meet Millie, a 37-pound bundle of energy and love! This 13-month-old Heeler / Cur mix has a heart as big as her playful spirit. Whether she’s chasing after a ball, splashing in the water, or going on a hike, Millie’s enthusiasm is topnotch. She’s always up for an adventure, but after a day of fun, she’ll happily snooze the rest of the day away—right by your side, of course! Millie is sweet and gentle with everyone she meets—kids, dogs, cats—you name it! She’s a little shy at first, especially around new people and dogs, but with a bit of patience, she blossoms into a loyal and playful companion. Watching her come out of her shell and show off her happy self is truly heartwarming. Millie’s already learning the ropes with commands like “sit,” “come,” and “drop it.” She’s also housetrained and crate-trained, making her the perfect addition to an active home that loves long walks and playtime. If you’re looking for a small, sweet, and adventurous dog who will be your best friend through thick and thin, Millie is ready to steal your heart!  Interested in adopting?
