Luna was adopted from a reputable breeder in Tennessee. Her birthday is September 3rd, 2023. She is two years old. She is an incredibly sweet and loving dog. She does not meet a stranger and is good with kids. My hope is she finds someone who can give her the time and space she deserves to thrive.

Story
Dexter is a cute, lovable and energetic pup! He is just shy of four years old. He loves to jump and play and is extremely cute. He has no issues with chewing furniture and follows simple commands, however he struggles with house training. We would love to continue to care for him, however our schedules will not allow with our children being away at school.

Story
Meet Eugene 💛 Eugene is one of those dogs that makes you stop and say, “okay… you’re really smart.” He watches everything, picks up on routines quickly, and is always trying to figure out what you want from him. He wants direction and does really well when he has it—he’s a quick learner and genuinely enjoys using his brain. He’s house trained and crate trained, and settles into a home routine easily. Eugene is aloof with other dogs—he’s not looking to make best friends, but he’s perfectly fine coexisting and doing his own thing. Cats are interesting to him, but it’s more curiosity than anything, and with the right guidance he’d likely learn to live respectfully with them. Eugene would do best in a home that’s going to include him in daily life and give him both mental and physical outlets. He doesn’t need chaos, but he does need purpose—walks, structure, little training moments, or even just being given something to focus on. That’s where he really shines. When the day winds down, he has a softer side that comes out. He’s affectionate in a calm, quiet way and enjoys being close to his people once he’s comfortable. He also prefers to enjoy his meals and high value treats in his crate. That’s his space, and he’s happiest eating there without any pressure or interruptions. Eugene is a great fit for someone who appreciates a thoughtful, intelligent dog and is looking for a steady, loyal companion rather than a social butterfly. His adoption fee of $300 includes his neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention, and a microchip. Is it our website www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to fill out an application!

Story
Willa is a 10-pound Pomeranian with the cutest little fox face, which is exactly how she earned her nickname, Foxy Lady. This adorable girl is as sweet as she is beautiful and is ready to find a forever home of her own. Willa is house trained, does well in a crate, and has wonderful manners. Her favorite things in life are going for car rides, making a stop for a pup cup, and tagging along with her foster mom wherever she goes. Whether it's a trip to the pub, lunch at the local Mexican restaurant, or just running errands, Willa is happiest by your side. This little social butterfly loves meeting new people, gets along great with other dogs, and would make the perfect companion for someone looking for a tiny best friend to share life's adventures. Willa's adoption fee is $300 and includes her spay, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Apply to adopt Willa at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com.

Story
Prissy is a 3-year-old Chihuahua with a tender little heart who just needs someone willing to give her the time to let it shine. She can be shy and nervous when meeting new people, so she may not immediately climb into your lap and declare you her new best friend. Prissy needs a little patience and a chance to decide that you’re safe. But once she trusts you, that nervous little girl turns into an incredibly sweet, cuddly companion who loves being close to her person. Prissy is crate trained and tends to prefer women over men. She’s looking for a patient, loving home that understands trust isn’t always instant. Sometimes the dogs who make you earn their love are the ones who love you the hardest once you do. If you have the time, patience, and devotion to show Prissy what true love and security are really about, she’s ready for you. Prissy’s adoption fee is $300 and includes her spay, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Apply to adopt at fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com
