Story

Meet Oscar. 60lbs, almost 1 years old, fixed, chipped, super smart, and great with other dogs. Nashville area, TN.He is a very sweet boy but needs a new home preferably alone, with another larger dog or a younger family. He loves carrots, his chew-chews, and looking out the window.He is a mixed breed pup with some blue healer, great Pyrenees, and hound as best our vet could figure out.We got Oscar from a shelter. He was found wandering a road and brought to the nearby shelter.We were looking for an up to 30lb dog bit unfortunately the information from the shelter about Oscars age was not correct. So we ended up with a much larger dog than we can handle.We have a very small older rescue dog and cat. My wife and I are older and his energy is more than we or our two other pets can handle. Even though its all loving play, our two other pets are older and its causing stress to them both.We did not feel comfortable returning Oscar to the shelter. Thank you.

Story

Ruger is an adorably energetic dog who enjoys being loved on by adults and kids. He is 5 years old and was rescued when he was 10 weeks old. He gets along with other dogs and loves to cuddle big dogs. We have a toddler at home who has begun having severe allergies, and after many test, the doctor came to the conclusion that his hair is the root issue. We tried adding many air filters, having our vents cleaned, and allergy medicine, but nothing is working and our baby’s health needs to come first. Ruger would do great with a family who can give him love and take him on walks or let him run around in the yard. He enjoys playing fetch with a tennis ball

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

We acquired little Ruby from Petland in Knoxville in June 2026. Though she was born 3/6/2026, and is now 7 months old as of October 2026. We have made the tough decision to rehome her as we have recently moved for work and are preparing to welcome our first baby to the family. As a result we are not confident in our ability to provide Ruby with the training, attention, and dedication she still needs as a young and energetic pup. She is a very sweet, loving, playful, and increasingly intelligent dog that would be a great addition to any family looking for a new buddy for life. We would prefer she go to a family with kids or other dogs for her to play with. She has a lot of energy so she would be best suited for a home with a fenced in yard or a good amount of land to roam. Before we moved, she lived on half an acre with two other doggies and a cat and absolutely loved adventuring around and playing with the other animals. She is a certified pedigree & we have her papers

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

Story

Looking for a quiet, cozy home for Cooper 🐾 After 10 wonderful years, we're heartbroken to be rehoming our sweet boy Cooper. He's a 30 lb terrier/lab mix, fully potty-trained, and a total couch potato who just wants to relax next to his people. We're wanting to start a family, and Cooper is no longer comfortable around kids, so we want to find him a home that suits him better and will not bring him stress. We are located in Columbia, TN in the arts district. Cooper needs: ✔️ No children and no other pets or animals ✔️ A calm, cozy, adults or 13+ household Please know: He's fearful of and aggressive toward other dogs and animals He's not neutered and not fully up to date on vaccines He has dental problems that will need attention We are requesting a rehoming fee of $50 because we want Cooper to go to someone who is serious about taking care of him, especially since he is an older dog. If you are interested in being Cooper's person, please text (xxx) xxx-xxxx .

Brad Pitt

American Pit Bull Terrier

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Brad Pitt was dumped in our neighborhood Christmas Eve 2023. The vet told us he was roughly a year old. We posted him on Facebook pages. We notified vet offices in our area. When we didn’t get any responses, we decided to get him ready for adoption. He’s been fixed and he’s up-to-date on shots. We got him microchipped. Unfortunately our two dogs will not allow him to integrate into our home setting. Currently, Brad stays in a downstairs bedroom and we take him to puppy daycare three times a week. We want to find him a home where he can integrate and not be separated. He is a sweet, handsome boy looking for his forever home.
