Ozzie

Sheepadoodle

Male, Young

Sale Creek, TN

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Ozzie is the snuggliest two year old boy you’ll meet! He loves a good pet. He thinks he’s much smaller than he is, so don’t be surprised when he plops down on your lap. Watch for his big paws! Ozzie loves play time, followed by a nap. His chin stays wet, so hopefully you don’t mind slobbery kisses. Ozzie grew up in a house with other animals and kids, although he does like to chase the cat on occasion. He would be best suited in a home that can give him lots of love and attention—one that is able to make lots of time to burn off his doodle energy!

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Rin wandered into our yard six years ago. She was about 6 months old. We have cared for her for 6 years and she is up to date with shots, etc. and is in excellent condition. She is an extremely happy and playful dog. She loves to play fetch and to go for walks. She has been trained and heels well. She loves company. She gets along well with most other dogs. Many neighborhood dogs stop in our yard and play with her. She used to like cats until one scratched her nose and now she dislikes cats. We have an invisible fence that she has learned to stay inside of and she sleeps in the garage. We have left her for three weeks at a time when we are out of town; the next door neighbor feeds her and checks on her; other neighbors stop by and throw the ball for her; the invisible fence contains her; but we are traveling more now and do not want to leave her home alone for extended periods. For a new home, we would like someone who will be home nights with her.

Story

My son has developed an allergy to Kaya. She is the sweetest most loving dog. Crate trained but has been indoor since we got her at 5 weeks old. Will only chew things put in her crate. We have had her over a year and has never chewed any thing other than toys given to her. Toys do not last unless they are rubber. She absolutely loves playing and is so great with kids. She has never bit anyone and does not even nip. Has only been around a few other dogs consistently but did well all times. We would not want to Rehome her as she is an amazing sweet loving dog however our son is not doing well with her here.

Tupac

Labrador Retriever American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Young

Soddy Daisy, TN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

We rescued Tupac at approximately 5 months old from a rescue near Chattanooga. He is about 1 1/2 years old and his Birthday is November 24, 2022. He is a quick learner, crate trained, house trained and knows some commands. He loves to play catch, run around outside and just wants to be around people. He only barks at people when he doesn't know them, otherwise, he is happy to meet new people. He is a bit timid with loud noises and new sounds. He needs someone to work on that with him. We try when we can. He is food motivated, so training should go fairly well. He likes to snuggle and loves chewing on dog bones. He's never been destructive. He's not a fan of car rides, but I think he would be better once the noise socialization is done. He is a happy, fun, loving dog and is pretty playful, too. He needs a home with someone who can train him, love on him and play with him and he will be their best friend forever.

Scar (aka Bubbers)

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Soddy Daisy, TN

Size

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

Details

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

Story

While this decision has been agonizing, I’ve come to the difficult realization that I need to find a new home for Scar. This gentle giant has been my loyal companion for the past couple of yrs. His original owner got him when he was a tiny puppy, but passed unexpectedly. He’s been by my side since. Weve been through so much together but Ive come to terms with the fact that I can no longer provide him with the time, attention, and active lifestyle he deserves. Between my work schedule/living situation/LIFE, I simply don’t have the capacity to give him the level of care and exercise he needs to thrive. I dont have a fenced in yard for him to run and play. Scar gets very bad allergies (leading to scratchiness and bum gnawing) during the summer months. He is fine with his prescriptions, yard flea treatments, etc. He’s a very special boy who is food motivated (his peanut butter is his fave snack). He’s a good boy just very playful/excited. I can go over his training history, command words.

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Penny is a 19 month old Brittany/Hound mix. She is UTD on vaccines, microchipped, Heartworm negative and on preventative. She minds her foster mom really well and has great recall. Penny knows the command sit and is working on stay. She is not very vocal and does not bark much. She loves running in the yard and is good with other dogs. Penny loves her toys and she also loves treats. Penny is a very healthy girl. Penny's foster mom says she is not destructive and loves to lounge in her dog bed. Because she gets overly excited, Penny jumps on people, but her foster mom is working with her. Because of her jumping, Penny will not be a good fit for a home with small children. Penny is being fostered in Tennessee. Her adoption fee is $325.00 and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad with the adopter taking the last leg, usually less than 100 miles. Applications for Penny can be found on www.nbran.org. For more information, email dltuthill@epbfi.com or ztasuzanne@gmail.com. July 26, 2024, 4:25 pm
