Story
LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY. Peabody is a 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix (we think). He was pulled into our rescue from an over-crowded, rural, KY shelter because he was not tolerating the environment well and was shut down. He was terrified when first arriving at his fosters home. It took time…but not much. We have video evidence that he is a Velcro mix. He likes dogs about his size, but gets passive-aggressive with bigger dogs. Meaning he runs his mouth. He would have no problem with another, playful dog or being the one-and-only. He likes to watch TV on the couch, beside you, with his eyes closed. He will be the big spoon every night and knows how to fit perfectly into the small of your back. Peabody will likely need the expected 3 days to decompress in a new environment. But once he has stopped fretting, he’ll be melting like butter in your lap. We think Peabody needs to find that doesn’t require transport, so applications must be local to TN. I need to be adopted in Crossville, Tennessee. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Missing one eye, whether from birth or past abuse, hasn’t slowed him down one bit. Carson absolutely lights up when given attention and love, and he’ll happily try to climb right up your leg just to shower you with kisses! He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and even cats. Carson will be having surgery to close his eye and arrive to our rescue May 16th.

Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliott@att.net) for more information about this pet.5 month old female Chihuahua pupyLittle Rio is a five month old female Chihuahua puppy. Her mom was long-haired Chihuahua and Dad was short haired Chihuahua. She is super shy and not a social little girl. She would like a quiet home or she can live on your lap. She’s not looking for a public life. I do take her with me to public places when I go, but she’s not thrilled. She weighs about 3 pounds and I don’t expect she’s gonna get much bigger. We are in Harrison Arkansas, but she could be brought to via the network transport. Inquire at jetta.elliott@att.net.May 18, 2026, 11:52 am

Story
Stewart is ready for retirement! This senior Chihuahua is 10-12 years old and weighs 9 pounds. Stewart is an independent pup. He can be quite fearful and needs time to warm up to new people. If you move too fast or force affection, he may nip or bare his teeth, but it’s a reaction rooted in fear and means he's asking for space. When Stewart first arrived, he spent most of his time curled up in one of the open pens along the walls, quietly observing. But as he grew more comfortable, he began exploring more and sleeping in beds near the other dogs. He is now more confident approaching people and joining in on group activities like outside time and gathering in the kitchen for treats. While he may never be a clingy dog, we know he'll continue making progress and opening up, given the space and time to do so. Medically, Stewart is blind in his right eye and has limited vision in his left. He was recently neutered and had dental surgery. When he arrived, his liver values were elevated; they are now in the normal range. Stewart is up-to-date on his vaccinations and recently had full blood work.

Story
Angel is ready for adoption! This little guy is 10 years old and weighs just under 14 pounds. He came into our care at the beginning of May and is looking for a devoted family to welcome him home. Angel has some anxious tendencies and is definitely a velcro dog. He loves being held and is happiest curled up in a lap or staying close to his favorite person on the couch. We’ve also noticed that he can be possessive of toys and people. If another dog approaches while he’s being held, he may snap to protect his space. Car rides can be stressful for Angel. When confined, he becomes very nervous and has chewed through both a bed and a soft crate. We recommend using a hard crate without bedding until he becomes more comfortable in the car. Angel loves to chase toys and collect them from around the rescue. He's a very spry 10 year old and has no issues jumping on and off the couch. Angel is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and his bloodwork looks great. If you are interested in adopting Angel, please complete an application at https://www.vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

***OPIE IS LOCATED AROUND ATHOL IN A FOSTER HOME AND AVAILABLE FOR A MEET AND GREET WITH AN APPROVED APPLICATION*** Meet your new best friend Opie. You may not know this, but OPIE is actually an acronym. It stands for Outstanding Puppy Is Excited… to find his forever home! At 7 months old and 19 pounds this mixed breed pup is growing into the PERFECT size and personality to easily fit into any home! Opie is wonderful with other dogs, cats and kids. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, he’s more than qualified for the job. His professional resume includes a long list of applicable skills such as expert cuddler, dedicated shadow, treat enthusiast and world class people watcher. He’s loyal, gentle and happy to always be by your side. His foster thinks he’ll be a great companion for a child to grow up beside. He is VERY smart. This intelligent and highly observant pup already shows signs of being a great watchdog. Nothing gets by him. Human sneaking a midnight snack? Busted. (Share, please!) Amazon delivering packages? Consider yourself notified. Squirrel? Not in my yard. But don’t worry, this security system comes equipped with a wagging tail and a friendly little face. He’s currently working on housebreaking and already understands “do you want to go outside?” (Current foster does not have a yard, but with a yard he knows outside well and follows the other dogs) Did we mention he’s never even been issued a single speeding ticket?!? If you’re looking for a loyal companion, cuddle bug, law abiding citizen and slightly nosy but totally lovable best friend, Congratulations! You just found him. Opie is neutered, current on all age-appropriate vaccinations, current on dewormer, microchipped, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention and has received a negative fecal and a clean bill of health from a veterinarian. He came from Texas, so his adoption fee includes the transport from Texas to the North. To apply for Opie, you can do so on our website at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org
