Story
Crazy little Benjamin belonged to an elderly lady who thought that food=love. Unfortunately she passed away and her family dumped him at the high kill shelter. Luckily for Benji, we were called and we litteraly ran to get him out of there. When we picked him up, we were shocked! He weighed 27 pounds. He could barely walk, he had fat rolls everywhere (pics on request) He was also scared out of his mind and hid under a table for 5 days. Poor baby was traumatized. One day he had a loving home, next day he was in a horrible place. So the process began, we got him some healthy food for overwight dogs and little by little, the pounds began to melt away. Once he became healthy and slim, we had his teeth cleaned and vaccined him. He is now ready for his forever home. As you can see in the video, he loves children. He is creat trained, heart worm negative, microchipped and ready for immedieate transport. Oh and by the way, he now weighs 15 pounds!!

Story
We got a call from a friend of the rescue. She was on her way home from work when she found a litter of puppies that had been dumped on her road. She called us and we immediately headed that way to round them up. By the time we got there it was dark. We managed to round up 6 of them but the next day a neighbor found one more. We searched all day to see if there were any more but we couldn't find anyone left. The day after they all arrived, they began to get sick one by one. We quickly started medication and fluids and within a couple of days they were all healed and happy! As of November 1st, our vet estimated them to be approximately 3 months. We believe the daddy is a Great Pyrenees as there was an intact male living on the same street where they were found. It looks like mama could be a hound dog, just a guess! Either way, they are adorable! They will be getting spayed and neutered shortly and will be available for transport just in time for Christmas!

Either way, they are adorable! This particular puppy, Punkin' Pie needs to have her right rear leg amputated due to a severe injury that the vet deemed as "too old for surgery" We guessed she may have been stepped on as an infant. They will be getting spayed and neutered shortly and will be available for transport just in time for Christmas! WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND TRANSPORT ALL PETS TO YOUR AREA! ADOPTION FEE $650

Story
7 little puppies dumped on a dead end road to fend for themselves. Luckily for them, a kind woman spotted them and started gathering them up one at a time. She brought them to the rescue and we worked our magic. They were covered in fleas, sick and scared to death. Two weeks of nurturing and here they are, as sweet as can be and healthy! We are not sure of the breed mix so we did our best to guess! At 3 months, they weigh around 20 pounds so they won't be small dogs They will be ready for transport just in time for Christmas. Wouldn't you just love to take one of these precious souls home! OUR PHYSICAL LOCATION IS TENNESSEE AND WE TRANSPORT TO YOUR AREA. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THEM PRIOR TO ADOPTION BUT WE GIVE AN UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE AND WE TAKE NO FEES UP FRONT ADOPTION FEE $650

Story
Ebony's story. She was dumped in our neighborhood and we're not sure if she was dumped with her puppies or if she gave birth in the woods. She was spotted several times by the neighbors, sometimes by herself, sometimes with a puppy or two. If anybody tried to approach her, she would run back into the dense woods. We were not aware of her presence until we got a call from animal control saying that a neighbor had spotted her across the street from their yard. We ran down to the neigbors and set a trap in their front yard. First day, we caught a neighborhood cat, next day, a feral cat. Third day was a charm, we got up early that moring and there she was in the trap! We brought her back to the rescue, let her decompress for a couple of hours and then the hunt was on for her puppies. We walked her through the woods playing puppy crying sounds on the phone, nothing. We searched for days, nothing. We finally had to give up, knowing that none of them could possibly be alive at this point. She had a sadness about her for a few days and we all cried with her. Her transformation now has been amazing! She's a happy crazy clown of a dog! She's been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, crate trained and house broken. We believe her to be what we call a Pit-A-Dor, half Lab, half Pit, best combination of dog on the planet! She's ready for her forever family to bring her home! Could that be you? She is ready for immediate transport to your area. ADOPTION FEE $500

Story
You won't find a more handsome, intelligent or silly boy than Sidney. He is about 3.5 years old and weighs 84 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show some barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he shows absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system) He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application
