Story
Looking to rehome bingo to someone who has a little more time on their hands to take care of her. She is pretty much house trained and has only had a few accidents the past year. She is crate trained and able to be in her crate comfortably. She loves playing with her toys and laying down and just chewing. She also loves any kind of chew. She can chill around. She like to lay in the kitchen while we cook and just watch. We have a mini dachshund also and she gets along with him really well. She is on Prozac to help with her anxiety but I believe she’s at a point where she can be weened off. The only thing she doesn’t like is thunder. She is 55 lbs and up to date on all her vaccines. Shes perfect if you want a playful dog. If interested send me a text at 423-285-3886

Story
We believe he is around a year old, very playful and energetic, loves to cuddle. He was found running around the neighborhood and no one knew who he belongs to or took ownership so we couldn't let him be without a home. He is house trained and crate trained, gets along well with others and dogs. We don't have the time or space for him and would love to find him a more supportive home!

Story
Hello this special dog is approximately 7 years old his owner just passed away he's was a one-person dog , does not like kids or other dogs as it makes him afraid and then he gets anxious and tends to growl out of fear , needs lots of love, wags his tail runs and plays but is an inside outside dog , loves to sleep with the owner in the bed, loves to eat while people are eating, his owner was a patient of mine and he passed away a few days ago . unfortunately we are unable to take him for a long period of time as we also have four other dogs this dog is a good old soul just needs someone to physically lean upon and understand that he is a dog that gets attached and can be protective but at the same time loves attention

Story
Cosmo is a border collie/blue heeler mix and is an extremely sweet dog that comes from a hard background. We saved him from an abusive household 5 years ago. We cannot keep him as he does not get along well with our children. Preferably he would go to a home with either a single man or couple with no children. He is laid back and does not require a lot of activity. He is shy around females but will grow to like them with time and positive attention.
