Story
Meet Sammy and Dean! Sammy (red) and Dean (green) are two knockout brothers looking for their forever home together. They are hound mixes with an estimated birthay of 04/03/2021, each in the 60-65lbs range. They adopted out from us as a pair as they were too cute to split! They lived together in their home until about April of 2025, when they were returned to us at no fault of their own. These handsome boys have grown into playful and happy dogs, always on the hunt for new friends to meet. Although at first glance you may not be able to tell one from the other, you'll notice that Sammy is much shorter than Dean! Sammy and Dean are totally inseparable, but enjoy the company of others too! They were raised with other dogs and with children. They were raised around cats, but never directly interacted. They are both fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped. Interested? Call 615-446-7387 ##1113842##

Story
Meet Holbrook! If crazy good snuggling and a constantly wagging tail sounds good to you, look no further than Holbrook. Holbrook is a 60lbs mixed breed, with an estimated birthday of 06/01/2021. We're not sure if we've ever met a dog as happy as this guy! Seriously, Holbrook is all sunshine and rainbows, and we can't get enough! He is a huge social butterfly, anyone he meets better be ready to make a new friend! He enjoys the company of other dogs, too, but as always we require a meet and greet if you already have any in your home. He is suited to a cat free home. Holbrook is a champion at playtime, this guy loves nothing more than chewing toys and running in our playyards! If you need a little extra light in your life, Holbrook is surely the pup for you. He is fully vetted and microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $175. Interested? Call us at 615-446-7387.  ##2072031##

Pasha is a very shy girl but gets a little braver with another dog in the home so her having another dog in the home is a must along with a fence. ##2298059##

Story
Introducing Katherine!  This lovely lady arrived at our facility in early January after spending several years alone and repeatedly having litters at a sawmill in Whit Bluff. When she came to us, she was very pregnant, shy, and nervous. Just two days after her arrival, she gave birth to 14 adorable puppies. Now that she has weaned all her pups, she is thrilled that this was her last litter. She enjoys her new life as an empty nester. Katherine gets along well with other dogs, cats, and absolutely adores children. While she may be a bit shy around newcomers, a simple treat will quickly make you her best friend. At 3 years old, she is ready to find her forever family teaching her what being part of a family is all about. ##2287102##

Story
Meet Leilani! This beautiful flower is hoping for a place to bloom. Leilani is a stunnig 31 flavors mixed breed with an estimated birthday of 02/01/2023, weighing in around 45lbs. Miss Leilei was rescued from dire circumstances, her and two other young pups were living in a tiny pen with hardly room to stand, and access to food and water was far and few between.Thankfully, Leilani and her family were rescued by our local Animal Control Officer and we quickly started her on the road to recovery. Although Leilei was in rough shape when we met, she bounced back quicker than we ever expected and has shown us what a beautiful and sweet girl she is inside. Leilani is a social butterfly who loves to make all kinds of friends day and night, and will always be ready to crawl into your lap for snuggles and kisses. Although she doesn't mind the company of other dogs, she is just as happy being the star of her own show and having all the love for herself. Leilei is already learning great manners. She walks well on a leash, knows "sit", and even crates like a pro! Leilani is fully vetted and microchipped. If you already have any other dogs, bring them with you for the required meet and greet.

Story
Meet Aura! Aura is an absolutely stunning and affectionate pooch, a delightful mix of Mountain Cur and Pit Bull. She was born around April 1, 2024, and has already captivated the hearts of many. Aura joined us in January, and upon her arrival, she faced some challenges; she was extremely fearful of men. However, with the dedicated time and effort from our loving staff, Aura has made tremendous strides in overcoming her fears and is now ready to embark on a new chapter of her life as she searches for her forever home.  This beautiful girl adores soaking up the sun, often found lounging in warm patches of light where she feels serene and content. Aura thrives on cuddles and loves to be close to her human companions, seeking out affection and warmth. Besides her love for snuggles, she has a playful side too—she enjoys her toys, whether it's a squeaky one or a tug-of-war rope, and she can often be seen happily engaging with them. Moreover, she has a particular fondness for going on walks and exploring her surroundings. These outings not only give her a chance to stretch her legs and exercise but also offer her the opportunity to gather her courage in new environments. While Aura has made significant progress, it's important to note that she can still be a bit nervous around men. She may require several meetings to build trust and feel comfortable before she is ready to transition into a new home. Patience and understanding will be key in helping her adjust.   Aura would thrive best in a home as the only pet, as she truly enjoys having all the attention directed toward her. She is particularly good with children aged 10 and older, as she appreciates kids who understand the importance of granting her personal space when needed.  If you find yourself intrigued by Aura and believe you can provide the loving, supportive environment she needs to flourish, we encourage you to reach out. Please call us at 615-446-7387 for more information, or better yet, come by and meet this wonderful girl in person! Your new best friend might just be waiting for you to take her home! ##2285526##
