Story
We got our sweet pup from Gallatin, TN in 2016. Otis will be 9 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.

I got Blaze from my son who is going through hard times 20 months ago he is six years. Blaze is a good dog he is potty trained. He is an inside dog. He goes out and play for the day when weather permits. Blaze need an active owner. He loves kids. He is obedient. Sat and wait to command to eat. Sat and lay down on command. With my health issues I can no longer take care of Blaze.

Story
Lily was given to my husband at 5 weeks old, at a gas station by a stranger. She is a sweet, but mighty little lady, who deserves much more time spent with her than our family can give. We did not want to see her go to the animal shelter as a baby, so we took her and have cared and loved her since. With sports schedules, and now travel ball continuing to put Lily at a doggy daycare is not an ideal life for her. I want her to be able to play, and enjoy her life. Let’s get her what she deserves.

Story
We believe Finn is around 10 months. A family member found him but was going to take him to the pound so we took him in to try to help. We live in the country so he has room to run, but we travel for work and are unable to keep him. He is housebroken, does not chew or tear anything up. Boundaries must be set for him because he wants to be the alpha. So no getting on the couch or bed. He is full of energy so he does need room to run. He LOVES being outside!! He would be perfect for someone that lives on a farm or has some acreage.

Story
This is Atlas. He's the first of a full litter and has spent the last year with his littermates and parents here with us and as they and our new daughter are growing it's time for us to find them their forever homes and we hope to meet anyone that's willing to help that happen. He loves our daughter and our cat as well as his siblings and growing up he's been incredibly sweet and as they grow and get more energy they need more space than we're able to offer now and want to see him and some of his siblings go to good loving homes
