Story
Me and My family had gotten Buddy when he was 5 weeks old from a private seller he came right up to me and sat on my lap and I knew immediately it was gonna be him coming home with us. Buddy has been with us for the last 3 years as we went through the troubles of being homeless and then family issues who then made us board him and unfortunately he became different during his time there. Buddy is truly an amazing dog but with us just now getting back on our feet as well as a new-apt, it’s unfortunately too much

Story
I’m looking for a very specific home for my dog, Titan—a 4-year-old boxer/bullmastiff mix (about 65 lbs). Titan is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and forms strong bonds with his person. Once he trusts you, he is calm, loving, and wants to stay close. He does best in a structured environment with clear boundaries and consistency. He is not a dog for everyone. Titan is wary of strangers and needs slow, controlled introductions to new people. He is most comfortable in a low-traffic home without frequent visitors. There was a past incident where he bit a family member’s hand during a high-stress situation when multiple people were around him and he was being handled near his face. The injury required medical attention but was not severe, and there has not been a pattern of repeated incidents. With proper structure and awareness of his boundaries, he has been manageable and stable. Titan would do best in:
• An adult-only home (no children)
• A low-traffic environment
• Someone experience

Story
Lou is a two year old. November 15 is his birthday. He is a very energetic happy and loving bulldog. He is very playful and really needs to be played with tossing a ball or bringing him to a dog park to run around w friends . Unfortunately he has more needs than we can require for him at this time with busy schedules . He loves car rides and relaxing on the couch w you. A fenced in backyard is needed for him and some training . He can be very stubborn . If you know bulldogs you already know that. We are looking for a family w older kids who can handle his strength or a single person who needs a companion and loves this breed.

Story
Please contact Suzanne (ztasuzanne@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. Greetings, Humans! I'm Hank Jr! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hank, a dashing 2 year old French Brittany with movie-star looks, a comedian's timing, and ears expertly designed for maximum adorability. At a lean and athletic 30 pounds, I'm the perfect size for adventures, couch cuddles, and showing off my zoomies in a fenced backyard. Everyone tells me I'm handsome, but I try to stay humble. (It's difficult when you're this cute.) Life has been teaching me lots of new things. I didn't have much experience with grass before coming to my foster home.  I'm completely house-trained and have earned my "100% Good Boy" certificate. I can be shy and timid when meeting new people or hearing loud noises. Think of me as a sensitive soul with a big heart. Once I trust you, you'll discover that I'm affectionate, silly, and always ready to make you laugh. My résumé includes: Professional leash walker Excellent passenger on car rides Certified Dog Treat Specialist Milk-Bone Enthusiast Non-destructive house guest Expert snuggle recipient I'd especially love a canine sibling to help me navigate this big exciting world. A fenced yard would be my dream playground, and a patient family willing to cheer me on as I continue building confidence would make me the happiest boy alive. In return, I promise loyalty, laughter, companionship, and approximately one million loving looks per year. So, what do you think? Could your family use a handsome little sidekick with a goofy grin and a heart of gold? My adoption fee is $400 to help offset the expenses associated with getting me (and other fabulous, rescued Brittanys) in excellent condition for a fabulous new home. You do not have to live in Tennessee, NBRAN will transport me up to 1400 miles to my furever home. Please contact Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com or Debbie Tuthill agilitybrits@gmail.com to find out more about me!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. PittieLove Rescue, Inc. a 501c3 orgainization is an all-volunteer, foster home based rescue. Adoption Fee: $500 Our information is current if you are interested in adopting please read our  Adoption Policies before filling out an Adoption Application. https://www.pittieloverescue.org It is the easiest way to start the communication and adoption process.  Meet Darling!  Darling truly lives up to her name. She came to us from our friends @bostonanimalcontrol after being found as a severely emaciated stray. When she first arrived, it was clear she had been through so much—she was broken, frightened, and badly mistreated. She couldn’t make eye contact, walk down the stairs, or even wag her tail. But within just one day, her foster family began to see something beautiful happening: a little light starting to come back . . And now? Darling is SO HAPPY. Her whole body wiggles with excitement, she gives endless kisses, and she’s discovering that the world can actually be a wonderful place.  She’s still learning how to “dog” but she gains confidence every day. She loves to frolic, prance, play, and explore, but she also settles beautifully and is perfectly content curled up in her person’s lap while they work or read. She’s a true cuddle bug who wants to be wherever her people are—and yes, she absolutely needs to sleep in your bed.  Darling is learning about toys and has recently discovered tug, chasing balls, and the joys of chewing on a good pig ear. She walks nicely on leash and she would LOVE a fenced yard where she can zoom and prance to her heart’s content. She’s also been good with cats!  She is still working hard on house training, so her new family will need to continue helping her learn. Most importantly, Darling needs someone who understands her journey and will continue showing her that she is safe, loved, and never needs to be afraid again. And perhaps the best thing about Darling? After everything she’s been through, she chose love. She wakes up every morning ready to wiggle her entire body, shower her person with kisses, and celebrate another day of being safe. Her foster says her morning routine brings endless joy—and we can absolutely see why.  Darling is ready for a family who will give her a safe home, a yard to frolic in, a bed to sleep in, and a whole lot of love. This sweet girl has so much happiness left to discover.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.www.pittieloverescue.org Please consider a donation so that we may continue the important work we do.

Cookie is a sweet, friendly girl with a truly lovable personality, a beautiful tri-colored coat, a compact little body, and a smile for miles. She has a moderate energy level and enjoys going for walks, exploring all the good smells, and riding in the car, but she is just as happy to settle in and relax at home by your side. She walks nicely on leash and loves spending time with her people. Cookie is housebroken, affectionate, and generally easygoing, with a few endearing quirks like her happy grunts, the most endearing piggy snorts, and silly noises when she gets excited. She greets new people with a wagging tail, warmed up quickly to a child she met, and has been friendly with everyone she has encountered. She is also scheduled to have surgery for an elongated soft palate resection so she can breathe more comfortably and live her very best life ever. She would thrive in a home that can give her plenty of attention, regular walks, and lots of love — plus a cozy spot on the furniture where she can show off that amazing smile.
