Story
Tucker is grey toy poodle. He is approximately 5 years old and he weighs 11 pounds. He is very sweet and people oriented, but he can be pretty nervous and sensitive. He requires a gentle and patient owner. He is house broken and good for the groomer. He is good with cats but nervous around other dogs. I think he likely would be nervous around small children too. I have had Tucker for about a year, I took him in to get him out of a bad situation but I am not able to be a long term home for him or give him the attention he deserves. He would love to be somebody’s lap dog. I will be screening to make sure he goes to a good home.

Story
Daisy is a 22 month old female Great Pyrenees. She is EXTREMELY SWEET. She it’s very gentle both with children and other animals. She does not have a mean bone in her whole body. she is attentive, intelligent and very social. She looks you straight into you with her kind eyes. My wife and I have just become empty-nesters. She is re-entering the workforce and we just are unable to give Daisy the time and attention she needs and deserves.

Story
Gidget is about a year old (per vet), and little bitty. She is fully vetted and chipped. She was abandoned/surrendered. She is a very sweet girl and is learning new stuff everyday. Does well with most dogs - a little afraid of real big dogs as she was 5.5 lbs at the vet. She's a little too rambunctious for the older dogs as she has plenty of play in her, but loves snuggles and her squeaky toys. She can be an angel or an alligator. She would be perfect for someone who has time for her, and maybe another companion dog. Chihuahuas this small are not recommended for families with small children, as they are fragile and easily accidently injured. Vet and personal references required. There will be an interview and home visit/meet and greet. Prefer within a 100 mile range, but will consider for the right situation. Are you her future family?

Story
Hank was rescued with his sister in August 2024, having been dumped (twice) in the back roads of our county in West TN. Hank and his sister, Lady, were completely vetted in September 2024 and are on HW preventive. DNA puts them at 45% Hound and almost 30% Lab and a smaller mix of misc others. He is friendly, exuberant, and has a big hound voice. He was great meeting kids at the vet's office, and non-reactive to the cats in large cages, just curious. Nickname is Hank the Tank! He needs a home that loves big goofy pups (not quite a year and a half old). He has some manners, but needs someone with more time to devote to him, take him for rides, walks, play, and big snuggles watching tv. He is a COMPANION DOG, not a hunter. Very smart, likes to play in water, and deserves his own home. No fee to the right family. Must be allowed indoors, and needs a tall fenced yard. Does well in a big crate, but fluffy beds have been known to explode! Over 1000 views?? ARE YOU HIS NEW FAMILY?

Story
Manny is an estimated 8-10 year old Frenchton that weighs about 25lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention. Manny is great dog! If you are looking for a shadow, he is your guy! He loves to snuggle on the couch and relax – he is not a dog bed kind of dog.  His age does not slow him down! He still has a manageable amount of energy and gets around great! Takes little effort for him to jump on the couch or beds! He LOVES to go on walks and be outside. He would best in a house with a yard so he can chase squirrels and birds, although he is probably not quick enough to catch any He does pull slightly on a leash, especially when he sees other dogs or a critter, so paying attention while on walks is a must. We recommend a using a regular leash for him, not a retractable. He loves his harness, and that has helped while on walks to settle him down (he gets so excited seeing other dogs). He's a great eater and loves scrambled eggs on the weekend. He knows basic commands like "sit' and "stay". He is very smart and loves a treat! Due to some previous trauma, he does NOT like being crated or being picked up. But that does not stop him from cuddling with you. He has done well around other dogs for the most part, but it is case by case so recommending a home with no other dogs or young children. Since being in foster care, Manny has done well with house training and can go about 6 hours or so without having an accident. At night, he sleeps under the bed, or on top of the covers on the bed. Occasionally, the boston in him comes out and he wants under the covers :)  Manny loves being with his people, and will sometimes bark or cry for a bit when left alone. He would do best in a home where he can go with you everywhere or you are home often. He loves car rides, but definitely either restrain him or have the windows on child lock. He loves to move and look out the window! Manny would make a great companion for someone who works from home and/or is home often or can take him to work. He loves to curl up at your feet while you work. He is so great and loving and has lots of love to give! If you would like to give Manny his forever home, please submit an application at southerncrossbtr.com. The adoption fee is $250. He is being fostered in Princeton, KY. Approved adopters must be willing to travel to where the dog is being fostered in order to adopt them.  For a complete listing of all of our available Bostons, or to learn more about SCBTR, please visit our website at www.southerncrossbtr.com.

Diesel

English Bulldog

Male, 5 yrs 10 mos

Story
Diesel is a 5 year old English Bulldog that weighs about 68lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention. Diesel the weasel is an appropriate nickname since he weasels his way right into your heart. He has a Recto-urethral fistula, which is a birth defect that causes him to leak urine into his rectum from his urethra. Right now, the vet says his condition is stable and doesn't require any intervention, though it may lead to some UTIs down the road. He wouldn't be a bulldog if he didn't require some extra maintenance, right? Due to his issue, we use wipes on his booty every time he goes to potty to make sure he is kept clean. He also has another common ailment in bulldogs...a cherry eye, but it doesn't bother him at all. Diesel is looking for his forever home and the love of a patient ,yet firm family. Diesel is still learning to be a good boy. He needs someone who will continue to work on his boundaries and behavior. This is also very common behavior in bulldogs. When excited, he can be like a little bull in a china shop, so Diesel would be best in a home without young children. Diesel does not like to be crated and would be best in a home that respects that. He has proven to not be destructive when left alone. He does have separation anxiety when his humans leave, but he settles down quickly and then mostly sleeps. He does great in doggy daycare and enjoys being able to hang out with his friends. This has really helped him with his anxiety. He is a big fan of toys and w•a•l•k•s and going anywhere you go! His leash manners are still in the works as well, but he is doing great. An ideal home for Diesel would be someone who is home most of the day or only gone for short periods of time. For someone with a regular work schedule away from home, a doggy daycare option would be best for him. This rambunctious guy does have a cuddle bug side and enjoys taking naps with his people and belly scratches. Though he doesn't require daily medications for his anxiety, he may need something to help calm him during storms. He isn't a huge fan of the thunder or any loud noises outside, really. Diesel can be a door darter, so a home with a fenced in yard would be safest for him.  If you would like to give Diesel his forever home, please submit an application at southerncrossbtr.com. The adoption fee is $350. He is being fostered in New Albany, IN. Approved adopters must be willing to travel to where the dog is being fostered in order to adopt them.
