Story
Moo Moo will be two years old in November. She loves attention! She wants to sit in your lap or "hug" you when you are standing. She is approximately 74LBS. She has one blue eye and one brown eye. She needs a fenced in yard that is sturdy enough and maybe even high enough to prevent her from getting out. She is a jumper! She will bark at strangers, but she hasn't attempted to attack anyone. She shares a home with 5 other dogs. Two are her puppies that are about to be a year old. She is fixed. I do know she has had a rabies shot and at least the first few shots when she was a puppy. I think she would work best with either no dogs or maybe one. Since she is a large breed, I think she wouldn't need to be around small children. Not because I think she would attack them, but more of her running into them and jumping on them from excitement.

Story
Little Cherry is the smallest of her litter, weighing just a few pounds less than each of her brothers. She is a very shy girl and needs someone that is able to spend time with her to really bring her out of her shell. She's very sweet and enjoys attention when she gets brave enough to come up to you. She does a little shy crawl when approaching people and does pee a little out of fear/submission. She is also recovering from a flea infestation and her hair is coming back in the places she lost it. She is on the 2nd cycle of dewormer and has been healthy otherwise. Please reach out to foster or adopt Cherry. Even some time in a home with people she can learn to trust will set her up for success with a forever family later.

Story
Meet Ruby 🐾 Ruby is estimated to be 2–3 years old, and she’s one of our longest residents. She did get a two-month break from shelter life with a foster who spent a lot of time helping her build confidence around other dogs.Before foster care, Ruby would cower, make herself small, and sometimes snap if another dog got too close. With patience and support, she learned to live happily and confidently alongside several other dogs. She’s dog-friendly with dogs who respect her space, and she respectfully tells other dogs when they’re too close. She isn’t comfortable with dogs who crowd her, get in her face, or jump on her. She’s also cat-friendly and enjoys spending time with people.Ruby knows sit, stay, heel, and come. Her version of “come” when she’s off leash sometimes involves arriving at your feet and immediately rolling over for belly rubs 😂Ruby can be sensitive in new situations, but she shines when she has direction and someone she trusts. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Come meet her and see if you’re the person she’s been waiting for.

💔 TWICE HE'S LOST HIS HOME. AND TWICE, IT WAS THROUGH NO FAULT OF HIS OWN.Meet Arlo. Three years old, incredibly handsome, and still waiting for someone to make him a permanent part of their family.Arlo has found himself back at the shelter for the second time, despite having been given two opportunities to experience life in a home. Unfortunately, circumstances changed for both families, and through no fault of his own, Arlo's place in their lives became uncertain.The first time, a change in his owner's personal circumstances and a move to an apartment that couldn't accommodate him meant Arlo had to return to the shelter. We were hopeful that his next adoption would be the beginning of his happily ever after.He was recently welcomed into another home, and we truly hoped this would be the one. However, an unexpected work relocation to Alabama brought another major life change for his new family. The apartment secured for their move does not allow dogs, and once again, Arlo finds himself waiting for someone to give him a place to call home.Imagine being Arlo. You don't understand relationship changes, job relocations, or apartment restrictions. You just know that you were home, and now you're back at the shelter, waiting for someone to choose you again.And despite all of this, Arlo is still the same wonderful boy waiting for someone to love him.This handsome mahogany-brindle sweetheart is already neutered, does well with people of all ages, and is good with cats. He's an energetic boy who would love an active family, plenty of playtime, adventures, and a securely fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and enjoy life. He's accustomed to spending time outdoors on a chain, so he'll need a little patience and guidance as he adjusts to a new routine and life as a cherished family member.❤️ A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ARLO: Arlo is heartworm positive, but please don't let that discourage you from considering him! He is eligible for treatment, and City of Nashville Animal Control will cover the cost of his heartworm treatment for an approved adopter. All he needs is someone willing to open their home, provide the love and stability he's been missing, and help him through his treatment and recovery. His medical expenses shouldn't stand between him and the chance to finally have a forever home.But here's what we need you to understand: Arlo is running out of time.Through no fault of his own, this boy has experienced two unexpected changes in his living situation, and his future is becoming increasingly uncertain. We don't want his story to end here. We want him to experience what every dog deserves: a safe home, a family to love, and the security of knowing he isn't going anywhere.Arlo doesn't need someone to feel sorry for him. He needs someone who sees his worth, recognizes the commitment that comes with bringing a dog into their life, and is ready to make him a permanent part of their family.He's had two homes. What he's still waiting for is his forever.Could that someone be you?📍 City of Nashville Animal Control📩 Message us if you can give Arlo the permanent home he's been waiting for.Please share. His person may be out there, and we desperately want them to find him before it's too late. ❤️🐾

Story
Orion is a 2–3-year-old Lab mix with an enormous amount of energy and an even bigger personality. He is genuinely happy to see people and always excited for attention. Once he is out of his kennel, running takes priority, followed closely by taking care of his potty business. 😂He occasionally plays with toys, but his favorite game is chase. He will let you get just close enough to think you’re finally going to catch him, then dart away at the last second. Don’t worry, he always comes back once he gets tired of winning.Orion already knows how to sit, especially when a treat is involved. When I point toward his kennel and guide him with my hand, he will jump back inside on his own. He may not do it 100% of the time yet, but he is improving and has shown a wonderful capacity to learn. He has also learned not to jump on me, although he may still enthusiastically greet new people that way until they establish the same boundary with him.He appears to do well with other dogs and has spent time with a couple of dog-friendly dogs without any problems. He is curious about cats but has not shown signs of wanting to harm them. As always, introductions to other animals should be slow and supervised.While very few dogs arrive at the shelter with happy stories, Orion’s is one of the harder ones.💔💔💔💔💔Before coming into our care, Orion spent his days confined beneath a carport in a small, rusted crate. His previous owner would leave for work for approximately 10 hours, and Orion was left without access to food or water. A water bowl sat only a few feet away, close enough for him to see, but completely beyond his reach.The crate was so small that Orion could not stand upright or fully stretch his legs. When he arrived at the shelter, he was severely underweight and dehydrated.But that is only where Orion’s story with us began. It is not where it ends.Since coming into our care, Orion has gained 13 pounds and made incredible progress. He has learned that meals will come every day, that water will always be available, and that people can bring kindness instead of neglect. He still needs to gain a few more pounds and rebuild the muscle his body was never given the opportunity to develop.A securely fenced yard would give him the freedom to run safely, but an active person committed to exercising him on a leash could be just as wonderful. More than anything, he needs someone willing to help him become the strong, healthy dog he was always meant to be.Restoring Orion’s health has been the priority, so he has not yet been neutered. He will receive a veterinary examination soon, and his neuter date will be scheduled according to the veterinarian’s recommendations.Despite everything he endured, Orion still loves people. He is happy, playful, affectionate, and bursting with the energy of a dog who is finally being given the chance to live. His past explains where he came from, but it does not define who he is.Come meet Orion and spend some time with him in the yard. If he cannot convince you to commit to adoption immediately, please consider fostering him for a little while and giving him the opportunity to show you who he really is. ❤️
