Story

Meet Joe – A Little Dog with a Big Heart Joe is a precious 10-year-old Chihuahua whose world was turned upside down when his beloved owner passed away. After losing the only home he knew, Joe was surrendered to a shelter. Thankfully, we were able to step in and give this sweet senior the second chance he deserves. Since coming into our care, Joe has had a full veterinary workup and is doing wonderfully. His bloodwork came back great! He did have a painful infection in his mouth, so he underwent a dental where several teeth were removed, and he also had a fistula repaired. After getting the care he needed, Joe is now feeling fantastic and ready to start the next chapter of his life. Joe is the definition of a velcro dog — he loves being close to his person and would happily spend his days curled up in a warm lap. He also enjoys sunbathing and relaxing in a cozy spot where he can soak up the warmth. Joe is a gentle, loving little guy who simply wants a quiet home where he can feel safe, loved, and part of the family again. Joe is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, and up to date on preventions. All he needs now is a forever home to call his own. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you with his whole heart, Joe may be the perfect match. Give this sweet senior the happy ending he deserves. ##2676560##

Story

Buckley is a handsome young boy, around one year old, who we believe may be a Black and Tan Coonhound/Beagle mix. He is a very sweet and intelligent boy who is incredibly grateful to be safe and cared for. Buckley gets along well with both dogs and cats and enjoys playing with his canine friends. He is crate trained, potty trained, and walks nicely on a leash, making him an easy addition to most homes. Buckley is fully vetted — neutered, heartworm negative, current on vaccines and preventions, and microchipped. He will also come with a special GeoTag for extra safety. Buckley was sadly dumped before finding his way to a kind rescuer who brought him to safety. Now he is ready to find the loving forever home he deserves. If you are looking for a loyal, playful, and loving companion, Buckley may be the perfect match for your family. 423-400-4066 ##2676298##

Story

Meet Beetle — our precious little “Bee.” Little Bee is the sweetest, most gentle soul. She can be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her loving personality really shines. Bee would do best in a home with other pets, or with someone who is around often and can give her the reassurance and attention she loves. Bee is about 10–11 months old and spent most of her early life outside in a backyard with her littermates. But you would never guess it! Her gratitude for being allowed inside a home truly shows. She has wonderful house manners and has quickly learned that couches are for snuggling and beds are for cozy nighttime cuddles. Now, we can’t say for certain what breeds make up this adorable girl… but we do have a strong suspicion she may be part corn dog. Bee is short and a little stubby with the cutest long body — basically built like a snack and 100% adorable. Beetle truly is a gem — the perfect mix of sweet, snuggly, and a little bit silly. She will make someone an incredibly special companion. Bee is spayed, heartworm negative, current on vaccines and preventions, and microchipped, so she is fully ready to find her forever family. If you’re looking for a loving little shadow to share your couch, your bed, and maybe a few laughs, Beetle may be your girl. ##2676579##

Story

Meet Birdie This beautiful little girl weighs about 22 pounds and is around two years old. Birdie has one of the sweetest, softest, gentlest souls you will ever meet. While she can definitely be silly and playful at times, most of her day is happily spent doing what she loves most — loving her people. Birdie would make the perfect trail buddy by day and couch potato companion by night. She’s the kind of dog that is just happy to be wherever you are. A traditional fence isn’t a deal breaker for Birdie, because even though she’s small… this girl can fly! She just might jump a fence straight into your heart. Birdie spent much of her life living outside in a backyard with her babies and several other dogs. Because of that, her appreciation for being welcomed indoors and truly loved really shines through. She has wonderful house manners and is so grateful for every bit of kindness she receives. Birdie is fully vetted and ready for her forever home: • Spayed • Heartworm negative • Current on vaccines and preventions • Microchipped and comes with a GeoTag If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle soul who will fill your home with love, Birdie might just be your girl. ##2676577##
