Story
Meet Bruce — the boy who’s been waiting for someone to see the gentle heart behind those big, hopeful eyes.Bruce is a 3 year old, 50 pound American Staffordshire Terrier with a story that tugs at you in all the right ways. He was found wandering as a stray, and although he tried his best to be brave, the shelter environment was overwhelming for him. The stress took a toll — he lost weight, shut down a bit, and quietly waited for life to get better.And then it did.Thanks to Sammy’s Hope, Bruce was welcomed into a loving foster home where he could finally exhale. In just a short time, he has blossomed into the dog he was always meant to be. He’s relaxed, curious about the world, and so affectionate it’s impossible not to fall for him. His appetite is back, he sleeps soundly through the night in his crate without a peep, and he’s rediscovered the simple joy of playing with his toys.Bruce is friendly, eager to please, and knows his basic commands. He’s also extremely food motivated — treats are his love language — which makes training fun and rewarding. His foster family describes him as a sweetheart who just wants to be near his people and soak up the comfort he missed for so long.Bruce isn’t just looking for a home. He’s looking for his home — the one where he can continue to feel safe, cherished, and part of something real and lasting. If you’re searching for a loyal companion with a tender spirit and a heart ready to bond deeply, Bruce is waiting.If you are interested in meeting Bruce, please complete an Interest Form. An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.March 14, 2026, 8:09 pm

Story
OREO: The Sensitive Soul Who Needs a Quiet Home ​Oreo is a Boxer mix pup who is sweetheart. He is currently overwhelmed and shut down in the shelter. The loud, hectic world around him is his biggest hurdle right now. He craves love and wants to feel safe and connect with people but due to the chaotic shelter environment he is too scared to show his loving side. He has been at the shelter for months being overlooked and will completely shutdown if he is not taken out of that environment soon. Our rescue want to pull sweet Oreo into our care but can't do so until we find a committed foster. ​The Personality: Fearful and shy, Oreo is looking for someone to show him the world isn't so scary. ​The Challenge: He is currently fearful of other dogs and hasn't had the chance to learn leash skills yet. ​The Ideal Home: A quiet, dog-free environment (ideally with a fenced yard) where he can decompress at his own pace. ​Urgency: Oreo is at high risk of behavioral decline without immediate intervention. He needs a patient hero. ​HOW YOU CAN HELP: ​FOSTER: Provide the space, and we provide the professional support and supplies. ​SHARE: Your share is a lifeline. It only takes one person to see this and change a life. ​SUPPORT: Help us fund the specialized care ​"Why rescue an animal if you consider that we cannot save them all? You ought to know the joy of the one who is saved." ​📩 Ready to save a life? Please DM us or email rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com immediately.

Story
Meet Moon Pie Almost 2 years | 80 lbs | Spayed | House-trained | Ready for her person Moon Pie isn’t for everyone—and that’s exactly why she hasn’t landed yet. She’s a **big, athletic, high-drive dog** who bonds hard to her human and expects real engagement. If you want a casual pet, keep scrolling. If you want a **loyal, smart, ride-or-die companion**—keep reading. The Dog Boxer × Hanging Tree mix = brains, speed, and intensity. She loves people. Like, *thinks she’s a lap dog* loves people. She wants connection, structure, and a job—even if that job is hiking beside you every day. She’s house trained, fully vetted, and physically thriving. Her Past (and Why It Matters) Moon Pie survived being trapped under a pallet, leaving a scar on her back. That scar? Cosmetic. What matters is this: **she’s tough, resilient, and she came back stronger.** Moon Pie needs: ✔ Structure, not chaos ✔ Daily physical exercise (not a backyard lap) ✔ Mental work (training, tasks, engagement) ✔ A handler who understands high-drive dogs She has had conflict with a similarly matched female dog. For success, we are placing her as: ✔ Only dog OR ✔ With a calm, opposite-sex dog after proper intro Ideal Home You’re a fit if you: • Like dogs with *presence* • Understand energy and arousal—not just “obedience” • Want a dog that actually **does life with you** • Aren’t intimidated by a strong, smart dog Straight Truth Moon Pie is not “too much.” She’s just been waiting for someone who’s enough. Right now, she’s getting passed over by people who don’t understand her. That’s fine. We’re looking for the one who does. Location Greeneville, TN Transport options available for the right home If you’ve owned working or high-drive dogs and you’re ready for one that will **lock onto you and not look back**, apply now. If you’re unsure—this isn’t your dog.

Story
Meet Mr. Toad - not actually a toad, but an absolutely legendary dog.This boxer is 100% wiggle, 0% chill. That's not true; he naps pretty hard when he's done running around. But he doesn't walk into a room - he ARRIVES, full body wags, eyes sparkling, jowls and tongue getting stuck and knotted up like well-hydrated bread dough, ready to greet you like you just returned from war. He doesn't perceive personal space or boundaries so buckle up.Mr. Toad operates under his own personal 3 Tenets of Boxer Charm:1. Every human is my best friend.2. Every best friend must pet me immediately.3. Butt scratches are not optional.Failure to comply with these rules will result in dramatic emotional damage (to him, obviously) followed by an aggressive campaign of wiggling, nudging, and general goofiness until you correct your mistake.He is highly motivated by toys, food, attention, the wind; it truly depends on the day, time and maybe even the phase of the moon. Mr. Toad is not for the faint of heart. He is for someone who wants a live-in stand up comedian, a professional goofball, and a certified joy machine who will turn your home into a daily celebration of nonsense and love. If you're ready to laugh constantly, play often, and commit to a lifetime of enthusiastic wiggles, Mr. Toad is ready to be your new best friend (whether you agreed to it or not.)If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Brindle Weight: 42 Age: 4yrs 9mths 1wks
