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

Kenzey

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Columbia, TN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Kenzey is a 6yo female. We think she is chocolate lab and something else. We adopted her as a puppy from a rescue. She is a beautiful chocolate color, gorgeous eyes, and loves to cuddle. She’s house trained but she stays outside in a fenced yard most of the time. We don’t keep her crated while at work as she has a yard to play in. The only reason we are having to re-home is that she has recently started not getting along with our other dog even though they have been raised together. She hasn’t been around cats or other smaller animals so we aren’t sure of the reaction there. She’s been great with our daughter and never had any aggressiveness towards people. Up to date on all vet checks, heart worm prevention, and healthy. If any questions, we are happy to answer them.
