Meet Brody, a charming 38-pound bundle of love looking for his forever home! This sweet boy, a unique mix of 31.4% Chow Chow and 29.8% American Pit Bull Terrier, has a heart as big as his personality. With his glossy black coat and soulful eyes, Brody is a loyal companion who’s ready to bring joy to the right family. Brody’s journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s made him the resilient, loving dog he is today. After bouncing between homes, he’s found his stride at Home At Last Sanctuary, Inc., where he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate, and house-trained pup. Brody’s a healthy, active boy, fully vaccinated and bursting with energy for fun and snuggles. He adores attention, curling up close for love and affection, but also has an independent streak, happily keeping an eye on the household from his favorite spot. Brody gets along wonderfully with other dogs once properly introduced, having shared space with eight foster pals and learned to shine in their company. His leash manners have improved tremendously, making walks a joy! While he’s great with kids who respect his boundaries (with adult supervision), he’d prefer a home without cats, as they’re not his cup of tea. This special pup has a knack for sensing your emotions, offering comfort when you need it most. His unique blend of Chow Chow independence and Pit Bull empathy makes him a one-of-a-kind companion—ready to be your loyal sidekick and cuddle buddy. Due to breed restrictions, Brody can’t be placed where his breeds are restricted, but for the right home, he’s a treasure waiting to be discovered. Ready to give Brody the loving, forever home he deserves? His adoption fee is $400, and click here for his DNA Breed and Health report is available for review.

Story
Meet Honey! Fostered in east TN, Athens TN! Out of state welcome. Transport available to areas northeast or Great Lakes and is included in the adoption fee as stated here on adopt a pet. We use rescue riders for all our pet transport needs because they are the best. Meet Honey! This sweet little girl is a hot mess right now with her skin. She was so severely infested with fleas. She has scratched herself raw and has some hairloss. Rest assured she is feeling better now after being tested for fleas and getting relief from the itching. Her coat should come back full and pretty. She’s a tad shy at first meet but doesn’t take very long to warm up to new people. She is reserved and a bit independent which is typical of the breed. If you think she is cute that’s great but be sure to read up on the common traits of Chows. They aren’t typically cuddly lap dogs they can sweet natured but they don’t crave to be petted as much as other dogs. They are also not all aggressive as rumor has it. This girl is not aggressive at all. She does great with the other dogs, she would do best in a home with older teenage to young adult children simply because she is weary and shy around lots of activity. She is very confident at the same time she is shy. It’s a strange combination but she shows behaviors that tell us once she is comfortable she is going to be a confident girlie. She is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative and started on flea and tick preventives as well as heartworm preventives. She is only 33 lbs and will not get any bigger. We believe she is about two years old. She is crate trained and potty trained too. Her ideal home would be one with a fenced yard, older teenager or young adult kids no small children, active or non active family that understands her breed needs of being independent. She seems to be fine with other dogs that respect her space and doesn’t seem to need a doggie companion but would do ok with one. Please apply at pet path.org

Story
https://foha.org/pet/ashland2021/ ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Hi, I’m Ashland — a gentle southern soul with endearing ears and a deep loyalty to those I trust. I’m all about peaceful walks, relaxing car rides, and cuddling up with my favorite humans. I walk beautifully on a harness and would love to be your nature-walking buddy. I’m shy at first, but once I feel safe, I become an affectionate companion who loves belly rubs and silly zoomies in the yard. Because I’m sensitive to new environments and fast introductions, I’m looking for a calm, adult-only home with an experienced adopter who understands dogs like me. I’ll thrive in a quiet, single-family home where I can be the only pet. HOW AM I WITH DOGS: I prefer to be the only pup in the home. Other dogs stress me out — I shine best solo! HOW AM I WITH CATS: Not a good match — please, no cats. HOW AM I WITH KIDS: I need a home without children. I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS: Sit and Down — no treats required, just love! MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: I do well in calm environments and adapt to routines. FOHA can provide more specifics. THINGS I LIKE: Long, quiet walks • Snuggling on the couch • Treats • Belly rubs • Riding in the car THINGS I DISLIKE: Crowds • Sudden noise • Fast introductions • City life • Other dogs on leash FOHA ADOPTION POLICIES AND PROCESS: https://foha.org/pet-adoption/adoption-policies/ ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: Spay/neuter, vaccines (rabies, distemper & Bordetella), 1-month access to Petcademy (training & behavior support), slip lead leash, 1 bag of starter food, 1-month flea/tick & heartworm preventatives, diagnostic testing, and additional medical care as needed.
