Story

Odin is a Boston/Frenchie (Frenchton) Must live within 30 minutes of Maryville, TN to be considered. Multiple trips maybe necessary for Odin to accept new people. His fosters say, "We have a very special boy on our hands named Odin. He will be 3 years old on October 30 and as sweet as can be, once you become his person. We don’t exactly know his past, but he has a small issue of what we’re referring to as “Stranger Danger”. When he meets new people he becomes protective of his “people” and aggressive towards the “stranger”. Once he gets to know you though, he loves you to pieces, becomes your shadow and your personal snuggle buddy and you become his best friend. Whoever would be interested in him would need to be extremely patient with him and probably have to meet with us/him several times, before he would start to become comfortable with you. His ideal home would be someone who wouldn’t have a lot of visitors, due to the “stranger danger” and no small children. He does fine with other dogs, but not sure of cats. He does have a prey drive to small moving things such as moths, bees, flies, lizards and frogs (and sometimes leaves… lol)". Potential adopters would not be able to take him into public areas such as dog parks, social events or retail trips. The Basics Age: approximately 3 yr Weight: approx 20-25 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes Microchipped: Yes Vaccines Up-to-Date: Yes On Heartworm Prevention: Yes House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes Leash Skills: does pretty well with but does pull a bit. Likes/Dislikes Toys: likes hard toys to chew on Other Animals: does well with other dogs, not sure of cats People/Kids: does not trust new people at all and is a little aggressive and will try and bite until he gets to know you, not sure about kids, but probably not a good idea to have them in the home Car Rides: does great in the car Separation: a little, has to be crated during the day when we’re not home Contact/Application Info Questions? Contact his foster, Scott Meredith at turless1@yahoo.com. Current location: Maryville, TN Adoption Fee: $365 Ready to Apply to Adopt? Visit www.bostonterriertn.org! ##2415837##

Story

Meet Ace! This sweet young fellow is looking for a family of his own. Ace is a handsome Jack Russell Terrier mix with an estimated birthday of 12/01/2024, weighing in around 20-25lbs. Ace came to us after his original owners moved and left him behind, and his kindhearted neighbor took him in and gave him some love and care. After making sure Ace was in good shape and graciously providing all his necessary vet care, she reached out to us to help Ace find his ideal forever family. We are still learing the ins and outs of Ace's personality, but so far he has shown to be a sweet young pup. He can be a little wary of strangers at first, but once he decides he trusts you he will give you all the love he has to offer. Ace does wonderfully with other dogs and with cats, but as always a meet and greet is required if you already have any dogs in the home. Ace is fully vetted and will be microchipped upon adoption. If you're interested, give us a call at 615-446-387 or come by and see us on Tennsco Drive ##2608893##
