Story
Meet Winnie, an 8-year-old sweetheart (born February 23rd) who loves nothing more than snuggling up with her people. She’s a calm, affectionate companion who enjoys lounging and being close to her humans. Winnie has lived with other dogs and has been around cats as well. She may take a little time to warm up, but she does build friendly relationships with patience. As our family continues to grow and life has gotten busier—with young children in the home and more work travel—we’ve realized Winnie would be happiest in a calmer environment where she can get the time and attention she deserves. She loves snacks, but can be a bit too eager around small children with food, so an adult-only home or one with older kids/teens would be best. Winnie is a loving, loyal dog who will make a wonderful companion in the right home 💛

Story
We got our sweet pup from Gallatin, TN in 2016. Otis will be 10 years old on May 4th. We would love to find a new lovable home for Otis, particularly one that can give him all the attention he deserves. We just brought home our 3rd baby and having Otis on top of littles has just grown to be too much for our family. He’s a very good pup who needs someone who can give him more of their time and attention and we just aren’t able to give him all of that right now. Otis is a sweet, lovable & goofy pup. We’d love and be grateful for someone to give him a new loving home.

Porter is such a sweet pup! He would be perfect for someone who needs some extra company— he loves to lounge around the house and spend time in the sunshine. Unfortunately, our family is growing and we are unable to give him the attention he deserves.

Looking for a home that can give Atlas the time and attention he deserves. He is a year old happy, energetic dog that loves to play and run/walk and fetch.

He is great with young kids, gentle and patient.He is house trained (rings a bell when he needs to go out), crate trained, knows basic commands (sit, go, lay down, get down etc.). Atlas does not shed much, but will require some basic grooming.
