Panties former human had to go into assisted living. She’s very tamed with strangers, and takes a while to acclimate. She can be nippy initially. She was already spayed when she came to the Ark. She had a veterinary examination and vaccinations. She did require some dental extractions, from which she’s recovered. She is pad trained and housebroken. She will require an experience to adopter with a lot of patience. 423-472-2744 for additional information.

Story
If you are looking for a professional true crime watcher and lap sitter look no further! Since you’re reading this, you’re obviously looking for a new best friend and, hey, so am I! My name is Buddy, and I am an adorable, incredibly affectionate Dachshund who is also a very young 7-ish years old. I would describe myself as medium sized however my current foster Mom thinks I’m a little chonky. I DO love snacks and am very food motivated. She has said that I am very handsome, stunning with loving eyes and love kissing her and giving her all the affection and kisses. I DO enjoy baths and love the attention that I receive on spa days! I have a unique personality, and nothing makes me happier than seeing someone reach for a leash and or lead to take me outside for a walk or just to play and roll in the grass. I am still working on my leash manners and I foresee in time, being able to be more patient and allow you to keep up with me. I have enjoyed roaming in the fenced in yard and smelling the roses, literally. I am happy to load up into the vehicle and go for rides. I love looking out the windows and sight seeing!During the day, while my foster folks are at work, I am happy to lay around my open crate in the same room with my foster sister while we wait for them to come home. I am learning to not jump when we get company or someone comes over due to my excitement and will, with patience, learn to be calmer. I slept in the crate at night a couple of times, but my foster mom got lonely, so I got in bed with her and my foster sister (she is 70 pounds! Talk about chonky!).I do seem to get along well with other dogs and recently went for a nail trim and there were several dogs there to meet and greet, and we all seemed to like each other and get along. The groomer and I bonded instantly, and I do make friends quickly. I am interested in the cat here, where I stay, but she doesn’t like me…you know how uppity some cats can be. I think my ideal human(s) would be either a quiet older person or a retired couple who could devote their time to me. I bond strongly with my special person and am looking for someone who can be home with me, and we can solve true crime shows together. I don’t care for sudden movements or loud noises and will be discerning about new people, so I don’t think that I would like to be around small children. I think that small people and their energy may be overwhelming to me, but I hear that’s typical for pups like me. I am a very smart boy who prefers routine and will alert (bark) when I want to go outside to potty or just get out of the house, of course I know that a treat is coming when I’ve been a “good boy”. So, what do you say? Wanna give it a try? I really need a bestie and someone to watch TV with. Please reach out soon!FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
HALLIE: WORK IN PROGRESS — PLEASE DON'T EXPECT PERFECTION ON DAY ONE Hallie is back with us. Her foster mom fell completely in love with her. Hallie, unfortunately, did not feel quite the same way about Foster Dad. "It's not you. It's me." — Hallie, probably. So we're learning more about what this little girl needs, and we think Hallie may be happiest in a female household with someone patient enough to let her decide when she's ready to trust. Hallie is a 2-year-old, small Dachshund mix who came from the Union County hoarding case where 92 dogs were living together in a single-wide trailer. Think about that for a minute. Hallie didn't grow up learning that people were safe, leashes meant fun walks, visitors brought treats and couches were made for snuggling. She learned how to live among 91 other dogs. Now we're asking her to learn an entirely different world. And she's trying. Hallie's current résumé: Once she trusts you, she is an incredibly sweet girl. She keeps her kennel clean. She seems to be more comfortable with women. She's still very cautious around people in general. Leash walking? Let's call that an upcoming course requirement. She's carrying a few extra ounces of prosperity and could stand to lose a little weight. Hallie strongly disagrees with this assessment. Socialization and confidence building are very much IN PROGRESS. What Hallie needs most isn't someone who feels sorry for her. She needs someone who understands her. Someone who won't corner her or force affection. Someone who won't be disappointed if she doesn't climb into their lap the first night. Someone who will celebrate the tiny victories: The first time she approaches on her own. The first tail wag. The first time she chooses to sit beside you. The first time she realizes... "I'm safe here." Hallie isn't a turnkey dog. She's more of a fixer-upper with excellent bones and tremendous potential. But we've seen what happens when these hoarding dogs finally learn to trust. The scared little dog begins to disappear, and underneath you find the sweet, funny companion who was there all along. Hallie is still becoming that dog. She just needs someone willing to help her finish the journey. 92 dogs shared one single-wide trailer. Now we're hoping to find Hallie one patient woman, one quiet home and all the time she needs to finally understand what it means to belong.
