Story
Adoption Area: East Tennessee Riblet needs: -Professional belly rubber -Patient owner who will give me time to warm up to you -Children over 12 -Calm and quiet home -If there is a cat in the home, needs to be a dog-savvy cat as he may chase Hi, I'm Riblet!! I am an adorable 3 yr old, 11 lb male Chihuahua mix and I somehow became homeless. Luckily, Small Breed Rescue was able to bring me in and I'm hanging out in a foster home waiting for my forever place. My foster mom tells me I'm pretty perfect but new owners will need to be patient and give me time to get comfortable. I think 3-6 hours should be enough! Within a week you will see my full, happy, goofy self! I love to play fetch by myself or with you and snuggle on the sofa during down time. Foster mom is teaching me all sorts of things about being a good boy. Things like not marking my spot in the house and sleeping in a crate. We also are working on more fun things like tricks. I'm a smart guy so I'd love someone to teach me more! Oh, did I tell you I love going on car rides?! I do! Foster mom takes me to the hardware store and we even have gone to the mountains. I hang out in my crate and keep quiet when she drives too fast! I also just learned that I think hiking is pretty cool! Foster Mom says she is super impressed with me! If there are other dogs in the home, I am probably not going to play or be their best friend. I am rather indifferent to dogs as I am more focused on my person. Now for those not so perfect things about me.... I can be a little wary of strangers and sudden movements so my new parents will have to work on my confidence. Because of this it would be best if there were no small children in the home. I LOVE to chase cats!!! This might be okay if you have a dog-savvy cat who will bop me on the nose but it's definitely not okay if your cat doesn't like pup-arazzi up in his space! I can embrace my Chihuahua side and bark along with the rest of them if something needs to be barked about! I might not be a good fit if you live in an apartment. The vet says I have a slippy hock on my rear leg. Sometimes you will see me hold my leg up when I walk. There is not a fix for this but it really doesn't bother me — just the way I was born. I’m neutered, microchipped, also up to date on my vaccines, flea and heartworm preventions. My adoption fee is $175. Don’t forget I’m looking for a professional belly rubber. If you think this could be you please contact my friends at SBRET.com and I could become your new best friend.

Story
This little fella needs to find a very special adopter!!  We don't know much about his background, but he came to us because his person had died,, and after the trauma of that event,, he had to deal with strange people and new places and other critters and it was all a bit much for him.... His default position when scared is to growl and snarl! We set him up in a nice quiet spot without anyone threatening on the other side of a partition, and just pretty much let him chill..... One day a week or two into this routine, it was like a light switch had been turned on!  He decided I was an okay person and the growling and snarling was replaced by an enthusiastic little dog spinning and jumping around and wanting to give kisses. He didn't initially want anything to do with the other small dogs, but after a bit he decided they were okay and he likes to go out in the area with them and explore,  he doesn't have much to do with them as far as playing, but there is no aggression.  We've also learned that he has a definite preference for the ladies.... Skipper needs a quiet environment with not a lot of folks coming and going and I would be concerned that kids wouldn't read his signals well enough  not to create a problem..... So we need to find just the right home for him.  He's not snapped or bit anyone here and we want that record to continue..... and it will require time and patience and  consistency to manage that. If you are up for the challenge and feel you have the situation and the commitment to give this little dog that stability he needs to feel safe and loved again.... we'd love to discuss it with you.November 6, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
Hello, my sweet boys name is Ollie, his sister is Stella. Ideally, I’d love to home them together. Both Ollie (7 yo Chihuahua) and Stella (4 yo Manchester Terrier) are rescues. I recently relocated to TN from Nevada and am living in an apartment. They are both used to living in a house with a back yard and love to sunbathe. My husband passed away last year and this has all been a lot of change for these sweet dogs. I recently boarded them for a week while I was out of town on business and they loved being in a home with a yard.

In true chihuahua fashion, she will need a good adjustment period and in the meantime will keep you at full attention wondering what she’s up to, really it’s just an act. She’s the sweetest once she gets to know you. Don’t apply unless you are ready to roll with it for a few days, lol. She’s a smart bossy little sweetheart.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
