Story
Say hello to Buzz — a 22-lb beagle/hound pup around 6 months old, with plenty of growing still ahead. He's affectionate, playful, and loves nothing more than time outside and a good chew toy to work on. Buzz gets along well with other dogs and is doing great with housebreaking and crate training. He's a happy, easygoing guy ready to find a family of his own. Buzz enjoys playing with other dogs, but tends not to be the initator. He will happily watch and figure out the best time to join in. Buzz also loves to give lots of kisses to the adult dogs in the house. He doesn't mind being held and will give kisses to his humans too. Buzz is neutered, microchipped, and-up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines. His adoption fee is $300. Ready to make Buzz part of your family? Apply today at rescue330.org.

Story
Meet Jasper! Jasper is a one-year-old terrier mix who weighs about 40 pounds. He's dog- and kid-friendly, and reportedly good with cats, too! This guy has a sweet personality to match his high energy. Jasper loves toys and loves company, whether that's his humans or a doggie friend. Jasper is crate trained and working on housebreaking. He's already mastered "sit" and is eager to please, though he's still polishing his manners (jumping on people and investigating the counters are current works in progress). Basic obedience training would be a great next step for him. Jasper would also thrive with a patient doggie friend who can set boundaries and help him learn to better read dog language. He doesn't always realize that not every dog is up for playtime. Jasper's first reaction to meeting new dogs is to jump on them and initiate play. Jasper is neutered, microchipped, and-up-to-date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $300. Interested in meeting Jasper? Apply today at rescue330.org. ##2808462##

Story
❤️ Meet Inola - Looking for her forever home!My husband and I found Inola when she was just six weeks old and we knew we wanted to give her the love and care she deserved. Now, at four years old, she is a sweet, loyal girl who deserves a home where she can truly thrive.Inola has natural guardian instincts. She will benefit from an experienced owner who understands guardian breeds and is willing to continue on her training.She knows sit, stay, shake, wait, and lay down, and we have been working on her leash manners using the command “stay back”. She has a moderate energy level, does well with other dogs, and can be shy at first around children, but she is very sweet with them.As our lifestyle has changed, we have realized we can no longer provide the environment and time Inola needs. This has been a difficult decision but we want what is best for her.Inola needs a loving and permanent home where she can thrive and run free!We are giving her to a shelter by the end of the week.

Story
Jake is an australian cattle dog mix and he’s 10 years old. I rescued Jake back in 2017 from Mutt Nation when I lived in Nashville. He has done great with my two kids for the past 5 years and has previously lived with two small yorkies (has not been socialized around big dogs much & has a high prey drive so would not do well with cats). He is house trained. Would do well with someone who has experience with this breed or similar — he is high energy and is an anxious dog (he is not destructive when anxious, just whines/paces/barks). Would do well in an environment where he gets lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Unfortunately for my mental health in this season of life, I would love to find him an environment he can thrive in, as hard as it is for me. He is loyal and loves affection from his people. Loves to play fetch and loves bully sticks. Knows sit, down, shake, high five, bed (place), & wait/okay to be released.
