Story
Hello, my Name is Percy, it's short for Perseverance. I am a 7 year old Chihuahua, I am spayed and current on all shots. Sadly I tested positive for heartworms, so I was started on treatment. Treatment almost killed me so I am taking a safer route. I am in rescue because I was found by a sweet woman who was house sitting. She said I was quite the survivalist. Nobody had ever seen me before. I was gathering everything I needed out of someone's garage and taking it back to a flat bed trailer that I claimed, I even had some yummy cat food I have NEVER known humans to be nice and gentle so when the man came to trap me I was soooo scared. The man turned out to be safe he even brought me to rescue. I have been here a long time being worked with. everyone has shown me that humans are good and loving. I will need a patient and understanding adopter who will allow me some time to adjust. Once I trust you I am the sweetest silliest girl. I am a goofball who enjoys company and soft beds. ##1736828##

Story
Meet Stewart! An amazing adopter and friend of ours reported that this precious boy was running around at a known dumping site near Stewart Road. We knew by his behavior he was experiencing "lost dog syndrome", he needed help and time was running out. Babies this size are likely to get run over or eaten by birds or other prey. We packed up our gear and headed over to Stewart Road. We were able to set a trap and get him to safety. It took no time at all to convince him to rejoin society. This little boy is so very sweet and loving. Stewart immediately took to everyone at the rescue. He is a friendly guy with a great big heart. Cats, dogs, people you name it, he's good with it. Stewart is a cuddle bug, we believe he is around 2 years old. He is neutered and current on vaccines. He tested negative for heartworms. Stewart is Microchiped and will come with a special geo tag. He will be available after 3/27/24. If you are interested in adopting Stewart, please fill out an application on our website www.TiggerTown.com call for more info 423-400-4066 ##2005528##

Story
Luella was nearly full term in her pregnancy when she was abandoned at a local animal shelter. The shelter contacted us and we quickly sent one of our volunteers to pick her up. Luella spent several weeks in a foster home where she gave birth to two tiny puppies. Her puppies have long since been adopted, however Luella has yet to find her forever home.  Now almost 3 1/2 years old, this small shy Chihuahua mix prefers the company of women and is fearful of men. Luella would do best in a quiet home with someone that is home most of the day. An independent pup, she just needs to know you are near, not fond of being picked up or cuddled. Give her a good meal and a warm bed and she is perfectly content. Most of her day is spent just following you around the house or taking naps. The perfect roommate, she will listen to your troubles for hours and never complain. Luella is housebroken and enjoys having a fenced-in backyard she can explore. She had access to a doggy door in her foster home and enjoyed the freedom of being able to come and go as she pleased. Luella can be snippy with other dogs, but does do well with cats. If you’re looking for a small quiet companion that is easy to care for, Luella would be a good choice. Don't pass up this sweet, loyal pup.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved. Due to the high volume of applications received, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet.
