Story
Nyx came to us as a surrender with hydrocephalus. She was the runt of the litter and was having a hard time eating and surviving with her littermates. We took her in and we were able to get her to eat and our vet evaluated her - diagnosis confirmed of hydrocephalus but no treatment needed. She also has an under developed left eye that we aren't sure if she can see out of - if she can it's most likely just shadows. Nyx is different. I don't know how to put it other than that (in the spirit of full disclosure). Her "wires are crossed". I think the hydrocephalus has affected her in ways that I will explain here: She loves other dogs but doesn't know how to "play" with them. She will jump on them and bite them trying to get them to play with her. But when it's naptime or bedtime she will cuddle up and sleep on them. I think she enjoys their company but doesn't know how to effectively communicate with them. She will let you pick her up on her terms. She doesn't bite or even try to bite you but will run when you are trying to get her to pick her up (she will come to you when she wants to). She is a very sweet, lovely dog who is "special" in her own way and I know she will make someone very happy! Someone who can love something special and accept her just the way she is. If you would like to learn more about Nyx, please fill out an application and I would be happy to speak with you about her. You can find our app at www.goofyfootrescue.org Nyx is in foster in West TN

Story
Laci is probably one of "the sweetest and bestest" girls ever! She is lowkey and loves being a couch potato. When Laci gets a burst of energy, she likes to play with toys and interact with her foster siblings. She does require a daily medication which costs approximately $15 per month. Laci must have a fence in yard since she likes to meander about! If you would like to add Lace to your forever family, please go to goofyfootrescue.org and fill out an application.

Story
  Sometimes we never know what we will see when we start up our car and leave the safety of our homes and our beloved pets that wait for us to return.  Sometimes what we see on the road is disturbing and downright WRONG.     This pair of Chihuahuas were discovered by one of our faithful rescue fosters as she traveled a back country road that was mostly farmland and very few  houses on the road.  First she say the little white chihuahua in the road and he ran from her and wouldn’t let her catch him.  She tried for a while.  Then she went to the nearest house and talked to a man who was out in his yard about this white Chihuahua.  He told her who owned the land where the dog was seen running and so a few days later she went back determined to ride up and down the road until she could see the dog again.  Well there were TWO little chihuahuas now; white and black and tan.  She found the owners of the land and asked them about the Chis and was told they were dropped off by some unknown person and that they had been up in their barn trying to eat the cow feed. They were abandoned and soon our rescue foster trapped them and brought them home to change their life forever.  We are getting them vetted and neutered and spayed 1/26. WE NEED FOSTER HELP!   The white boy is very shy and the black and tan is a female and the “protector” of her male friend.  Help us give them a short term place to stay while we look for a permanent and forever loving home!  Can you help for a few weeks?  Please contact us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  They can be fostered in Nashville, TN or even in the New England area.  We transport weekly and just need someone to show them kindness, love and stability.  They will be ever so grateful!   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
  Our boy Chachi has no special needs with his health since he is a young one year old 10 pound chihuahua.  But he is special needs in the department of giving him time, patience and unconditional love that will allow him to slowly make his way back to being a normal and less fearful dog.   A place is needed for him to go and rest, be loved and be given the time to find his way to being a more calm, confident dog.  You see he and his momma dog were found in the middle of a nowhere in a small community in rural Tennessee.  They had no food or water for some time before our foster mom saw them and picked them up to carry them home with her.  They had been on the run for a while and no one had tried to catch them.   But our determined friend and foster mom Lecia did all the work and set a humane trap and caught them both and took them to the vet and then home with her to foster.   Chachi is so very handsome and SOOOOO very scared.  Most of all he is very scared of men but tolerates them if they live in the foster home.  We are looking for Chachi to go to a home with another confident small dog.   He is not a biter but a fright and flight if he gets away.  He is almost housebroken and knows how to go outside and then come in and hang.  If you are interested please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  We know there is someone special out there for this handsome, scared soul.     ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Please contact Vivienne (viviennejames@comcast.net) for more information about this pet.Little Lucky is an 11 year old 11 lbs little gentleman who had the unfortunate luck of finding himself in a rural Arkansas shelter.  Not only is he an older gentlemen this poor little guy is blind.  Just imagine how scary that must have been.  He was there for a few days before Miss Sabra was made aware of this plight.  A foster was found in Arkansas and now Lucky is saved from the shelter.  Now he is in Tennessee looking for his forever home.  This little guy is a delight.  He is good with other dogs and he LOVES people.  Lucky gets around just fine once he has figured the house out.  He likes nothing better though than to be in the chair or on the sofa with you.  Actually on you.  He loves to cuddle and is a great little companion.  Lucky is comfortable in a crate and does not mind sleeping in one but he would like to be in the same room with you.  He will also ride in the crate while you do errands as long as it is not too hot or cold.  Lucky does his business as soon as his feet hit the grass and will use a pee pad if you are not home.  To help this great little guy please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net or 615-943-7311.  Thank you for considering helping this little guy!!  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.April 18, 2024, 12:25 pm
