Story

Meet Buttons Buttons is currently thriving in a loving foster home while she waits for her forever family — and her foster has shared some wonderful insight into who she truly is. Buttons is a gentle, sensitive girl who is slowly learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. She can be shy at first, but every day she comes out of her shell a little more. One thing she absolutely loves is being outside — especially when she has a fenced yard where she can run, zoom, and stretch her legs. When she’s out there, she loves to run back to her person just to check in, making sure you’re right by her side. Despite her love for outdoor adventures, Buttons is also a quiet snuggler. She enjoys curling up next to you on the couch, but she’s also happy to relax nearby on the floor. She takes treats and food so gently you can barely feel it — a true sweetheart through and through. Buttons has been doing very well with potty training and just needs someone patient and kind to continue helping her build confidence. She does great with other dogs, gets along wonderfully with cats and rabbits, and even does well around chickens — she may get curious, but listens when told “no.” Buttons would do best with older kids, simply because she doesn’t yet understand her own size and energy and may knock young ones down — but her heart is pure. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted pup who wants to be your shadow, your running buddy, and your quiet couch companion all in one — Buttons might just be your girl. Buttons is currently in foster care until she finds her forever home.Interested in Buttons? Call us at 615-446-7387 Ext. 101 to schedule a time to meet this sweet girl. ##2588160##

Lila

American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Bartlett, TN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Lila has been my baby for 6 years. I adopted her through a local rescue. She is the sweetest dog and loves to run and play. Her ball is her favorite! At night she loves to cuddle in bed and likes to get under the covers. The reason for rehoming is due to dog-dog aggression with my others. I have a toddler now and it is not fair to him or the other dogs that she acts this way. While I have never seen any hint of aggression towards humans, including my son, I would think Lila needs to be in a household with no children and no other pets. She will do extremely well in a single dog home. She is fully house trained. Lila knows simple commands like sit, stay, lie down, shake, spin, and go through my legs. She will pay fetch until her heart explodes! She has a lot of energy for walks and chasing balls. I hope to give this sweet baby a second chance at another life. *food/toys/accessories included

Story

Tigger was homeless when we met. He adapted well to living peacefully with my cats. He has played with other dogs and would probably do well with a roommate of his own play level. I have worked with him on some training and found him to be praise- and treat-motivated. He loves to fetch, walk or go anywhere with his person. As a foster, I am seeking his permanent home so I can rescue the next one who needs the help I have given Tigger. Fenced yard required.
