Story
Adoption Area: East Tennessee Tippy needs: -Active adult home only. No children. -A fenced yard -Someone home part of the day to continue working on my house training and social skills, but I am doing well! -A small playful dog friend Tippy is a sweet, cheerful little girl who’s ready to find her forever family! She’s about a year old, weighs 11 pounds, and is a mostly tan Chihuahua mix with adorable white tips on her feet—hence the name Tippy. Tippy came to SBRET from a local shelter with several other dogs from the same house. She has settled beautifully into her foster home. She was shy and skittish at first, and she can still get nervous with loud noises or too much excitement. When she gets startled or overly excited, she may have a small potty accident, but she is making great progress with her house training. She uses the fenced backyard to do her business and is learning what this whole “leash” thing is about—she’s unsure for now, but with patience and gentle practice, she’ll catch on. This little girl LOVES to play! Toys, chew bones, and zoomies are all on her favorite’s list. She enjoys other dogs and would happily play with them, though the older dogs in her foster home aren’t quite up for her puppy energy. She’s also very affectionate and absolutely melts for belly rubs. Tippy would thrive in an active home (no children), as she is friendly and eager to interact. At night, she goes right into her crate and sleeps soundly until morning. When Tippy goes to her new home it’s going to take her just a few days to warm up but if you’re patient with her, she will be your best little buddy ever! Tippy has been spayed and is up-to-date on all her vaccinations and preventatives. Now she’s ready for her forever home—could that be with you? Tippy’s adoption fee is $175.

Story
Adoption Area: East Tennessee Baby needs: -Adult home or one with gentle children over eight years old -A fenced yard or the ability to take baby for walks during the day -No attached housing since I like to monitor things going by from the window -Someone willing to help her lose another pound or two and to continue her medication and monitoring for Cushing’s disease If you are looking for a sweet, loyal and easy dog, Baby who is a Chihuahua mix is your girl! Weighs around 14 pounds and is 12 years old. She has returned to the rescue through no fault of her own, her original adopters passed away. She is a lovely, sweet and a happy dog. She loves to go on walks, being outside or relaxing on the couch right beside you—whatever you want, she’s happy to just be beside her person. Never want to go to the bathroom alone again? Here’s your dog! She will follow you often, wanting to be by your side, but remarkably never gets under foot. She prefers to sleep in the bed with her person, but will sleep in a crate or in her own bed beside your bed. She is not a huge ‘hugger’ or cuddler and won’t be a lap dog, but loves all the pets you can provide, and will tap you with her paw to let you know more petting is needed. She will bond with her person pretty quickly, but as time goes on, she gets even sweeter and sweeter as her trust develops. She has a playful side and will roll around, put her bum Iin the air and roll over for lots of belly rubs. She is a great watch dog! She will notice anything which isn’t usually there (delivery truck, people walking by the house, car pulling the driveway). She is not a problem barker but would probably not be good for attached housing. She is friendly with all dogs and very patient with her foster’s younger rambunctious dogs, thought she doesn’t engage in play very often. She does not appear to be interested one way or another in cats, but this isn’t certain. She has been diagnosed and is being treated for Cushing’s disease. She will need an adopter who will continue her treatment, and get regular blood levels done of her cortisol at her annual vet visits. Cost of medication averages from $80-$110 per month depending on where purchased. She is housetrained and will need access to puppy pads due to increased urination from the Cushing’s. She has had a dental and had 12 teeth removed but can still eat normally on her senior diet. She is a beautiful little girl, who is working on losing some weight, so her person will need to continue to work with her to lose a few more pounds for her optimal health. She absolutely loves walks and gets so excited when her halter and leash are presented. She loves being outside and would so enjoy sitting by your side on the back patio. She minds very well and wants to please her person, wagging her tail from just a glance from you. She does well when alone, with no separation anxiety. She rides well in the car in a crate. She can also be Snoopy and likes to sit on the top of the couch. If you want a sweet loyal dog who is so easy to be with, this loyal little girl is for you! Her adoption fee is $100.

Story
Meet Ladybug & Ginger — the Perfect Mother–Daughter Duo! We usually introduce our adoptables one at a time… but these two beautiful girls have written their own story — and it turns out the happiest ending is one they share together. Ladybug, the mama, is playful, silly, outgoing, and full of love for everyone she meets. She’s the kind of dog who lights up a room just by walking into it. Her daughter Ginger is shy, gentle, and incredibly sweet. She looks to her mom for confidence, comfort, and reassurance — and the bond they share is truly something special. Watching them together, it became clear that keeping them as a pair is in Ginger’s best interest, and honestly… they’re just the perfect combo. Ladybug brings the joy and goofiness, Ginger brings the soft sweetness, and together they make the sweetest team. Both girls are fully vetted, healthy, and ready for their forever home — one where they can stay side-by-side, just like they’ve always been. If you’ve been waiting for a sign that two is better than one… this is it. Ladybug & Ginger are ready to love you — together. ##2488200##

Story
Meet Oscar  Oscar is one of those souls you don’t forget. He’s an amazing senior with a heart as big as his personality. While Oscar can sometimes be a little grouchy, he’s most often a total lover who just wants to be close to his people. Oscar’s past wasn’t kind. He came from a hoarding case where he was kept in a crate 24/7. Because of that neglect, his medical needs went untreated for far too long. Thankfully, now that Oscar is safe, his health issues have finally been addressed, and he’s getting the care he always deserved. Oscar will need to remain on heart medication for the rest of his life, and he also has kyphosis, a curvature of his spine. Despite everything he’s been through, Oscar doesn’t let any of this keep him down. He is resilient, gentle, and truly an absolute gem. His favorite things are snuggling and enjoying his favorite treats (“bites”)—simple joys that mean everything to him now. Oscar is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccines and preventatives, and he’s ready for a loving home where he can finally relax and be cherished. If you have room in your heart for a senior who deserves nothing but love and comfort, Oscar may be your perfect match. ##2621439##
