Story
Hi everyone! My name is Peanut, and my vet thinks I’m around 3 years old. My story started when I was found wandering in a very rural neighborhood. Thankfully, a kind lady took me in and cared for me until the rescue could take over. Everyone was sure that someone must be looking for me, but after three weeks, no one came forward. So now I’m hoping to find the forever family I deserve. ❤️ It took me about a week to feel safe, but once I did, my true personality came shining through! I LOVE attention and would be perfectly happy being your one and only dog. The more people who pet me, cuddle me, and let me sit in their lap, the happier I am! 🥰 I don’t really play or interact with other dogs. I mostly tolerate them, but I do prefer my own space—especially when it comes to my crate and food. 🐾 A few things about me: • I walk nicely on a leash. • I really don’t like wearing a collar all day. • I’m crate trained, although I’d much rather sleep in bed with you! 😉 • I LOVE sitting in laps and being close to my people. • I learn quickly and pick up on daily routines very well. • I love riding in the car! 🚗 • I learned how to use a doggie door in just a few days. • My favorite snacks are baby carrots and cooked sweet potatoes. 🥕🍠 Honestly, I’m just an all-around great little pup looking for someone who wants a constant companion. If you want a girl who will happily be by your side 24/7, I might just be your perfect match. ❤️ I am: ✅ Up to date on vaccinations ✅ Heartworm negative ✅ Microchipped ✅ Spayed My adoption fee includes transport from Tennessee. Could you be the forever family Peanut has been waiting for? 🥜🐾❤️

Story
Journey has been at the rescue for close to 3 years! Despite his lengthy stay he has continued to be incredibly sweet and affectionate. He is not only friendly towards humans, but also plays well with other dogs, making him an ideal companion for a multi-dog household. He is playful - loves toys. Journey also enjoys meeting new people, always hoping that one of the new humans will take him home. It is hard to believe that this friendly guy has been in rescue for most of his life. Is it because he isn't as pretty as some other dogs? It certainly isn't because of his behavior. Journey is waiting to have a home of his own with people who will provide him with the love and attention he deserves.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
Rocky was saved from a neglect situation but he holds no grudge! Friendly with people and dogs. Very approachable. Housetrained. Crate trained. Very active and wants to play and run, would fit great in an active family with children that have a wide stance (that can stand a little jumpy lovin) Learning about car rides but definitely not loving them yet. Likes toys, likes to chase a toy but won't bring it back. Loves treats. Plays great with other dogs. Very happy dog. Will make you laugh with his facial expressions. Just a goofball.

Rebel is a polite young man who enjoys taking walks, is house-broken, and loves attention. He patiently waits for his turn to be walked and fussed over.
