Story

Smokey is almost a year and a half. We adopted her in March 2025 and she is the sweetest girl. We have an older, smaller dog, that is not taking to Smokey and her energy. We have tried for the past year to socialize the two, but Smokey’s energy is too much for our older dog. Smokey loves to run in the back yard, play with toys, and cuddle. She is crate trained, does not chew on personal items, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and go to bed. She does get along with other dogs, but cats are unknown. She has been around kids, but for short periods of time. We love Smokey and want to see her in a home that can support her young, energetic spirit! She will transition to her new home with a crate, toys, harness, and leash.

Story

Lady is a sweet, loving, gentle soul! She can be a bit timid at first, but wants nothing more than love and affection! She loves pets and gives kisses and will roll over for belly rubs. Since she has been in her foster home, she has learned that she was born to be a couch potato! She was found as a stray with another dog as they wandered onto a kind lady's property looking for shelter. It didn't take long to earn their trust and now both dogs are living in a foster home and learning that having a home inside is the best thing ever!

Heaven (Leia)

French Bulldog

Female, 3 yrs 8 mos

Heiskell, TN

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Location: Knoxville, TNLeia (Heaven)Frenchie2-3 years oldSpayed, vetted, microchippedGood with dogs: MALE dogs only but no dogs would be betterGood with kids: Yes but must be dog savvy and energetic (over 8 )Housetrained: yesCrate trained: YesMeet Our Spunky Girl, LeiaThis precious girl is full of personality and she’s looking for a home that understands her needs.She is a high-maintenance pup, but she gives back tenfold in affection. She absolutely loves to snuggle and be close to her people. If you’re someone who enjoys bonding deeply with a dog and doesn’t mind a little extra care, she will steal your heart.She has an inverted tail that requires daily attention (gentle cleaning and wiping), so her ideal family is comfortable with hands-on care and keeping her clean.She is crate trained and house trained, and she does great with washable pee pads (disposable ones don’t stand a chance!)This girl loves the outdoors—running fast, zooming around, and stretching her athletic legs brings her so much joy. (Even in the cold weather)She’s very smart and agile, so if she’s motivated, gates are more of a fun challenge than a barrier. Her curiosity always gets the best of her, so a secure space and supervision are important.Once she’s had a chance to run and explore, she happily settles in for long naps and snuggles, making her a wonderful balance of fun and relaxation.She is a serious chewer, so anything tempting should be put away. Bark Box super chewer toys are her favorite.She’s currently on a venison kibble and adores treats like raw carrots, fresh or frozen strawberries, and freeze dried bananas.She is wonderful with kids. Being the only female dog in the home is preferred. She tends to be jealous with other females and may react aggressively. She currently lives with a male dog and enjoys playful sparring—she never lets him win!Car rides are not her favorite, and she will try to jump out if a window is open, so she needs to be safely secured if travel is unavoidable.Best fit:An experienced home that can provide structure, supervision, and lots of love. She would thrive with kids that match her energy level, and a family who appreciates a strong-willed, affectionate dog and is committed to her care needs.**we do not allow electric fences/halo collars, tethers/runners or doggy doors** ##2464585##

Disclaimer:Adoption decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and reflect the rescue’s mission to act in the best interest of each animal. Policies are not intended to be discriminatory and are applied solely to ensure lifelong placement and welfare of the dog. We do not allow electric fences/halo collars, runners/tethers or doggy doors ##2619826##
