Story
Meet Tank Carter! Tank Carter  is looking for a calm home to help him recover and heal. Tank is a very lovable labrador mix who was unfortunately diagnosed with Heartworms. He is currently undergoing treatments, and will be so until into the late winter or early spring. Since he is undergoing treatments, he is not available for adoption, however he is searching for a dedicated foster to give him a comfy place to undergo treatment. Tank weighs roughly 45lbs. He is great with other dogs. If you already have any other dogs in the home, a meet and greet would be required prior to taking Tank home.  His foster would be responsible for giving Tank his oral medications as directed, and bringing him to the shelter for check-ins and injections. Tank needs a home that is able to give him love, security, and a calm place for him to rest. All medications and treatments are covered by the Humane Society. If you are interested, please call 615-446-7387.  ##2131914##

Story
Meet Harvest! Harvest, who goes by Harvey, is ready to find a permanent place to call home. Harvey is a handsome labrador retriever mix, with an estimated birthday of 10/31/2020. He weighs in at a hefty 60lbs or so, although he is shorter in stature than your average lab. Harvey sports a silky smooth butter-colored coat, and this guy will never hesitate to show you his big happy smile. If you were to ask our staff their favorite things about Harvey, you'd get one of many answers. A popular one is how when he's excited, Harvey turns into a four-legged tap dancer an will stomp his paws in excitement. He can also be a great conversationalist, and will respond to your talks to him when he's in the mood. Harvey also has an endless love of playtime and toys, he loves to run around and exercize in our play yard. Although Harvey does well with other dogs, he much prefers to be the star of the show so he can have all the attention to himself. If you are thinking about adding Harvey to a home with other pups already, a meet and greet is required. Harvey is best suited to a home with no kids under 10 years, due to his rough and tumble playstyle. He is also suited to a cat free home.  Harvey is fully vetted, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $125 Interested? Call 615-446-7387 ##1877455##

Meet Lip! This sweet boy is looking for a home to offer him some comfort. Lip is a handsome 31 flavors mixed breed, with an estimated birthday of 11/01/2020, weighing around 50lbs. Lip is the most gentle and loving soul, and just wants someone to give him the snuggles and affection he desperately craves. Lip loves the company of other dogs, but as always a meet and greet is required if you already have any in the family. He has not yet been tested with cats, but his easy-going and relaxed demeanor makes him a wonderful dog for a family with kids. Lip has a rough and tragic history, when he was a much younger pup he was ruthlessly shot in one of his rear legs, just weeks after he had been hit by a car and injured that same leg. Unfortunately, he was never able to recieve proper vet care for these injuries, and it would now be much riskier to attempt to repair his leg. Although he uses his leg with little to no problems, in the colder weather, or if Lip has been particularly active, you may notice a little stiffness or a slightly odd rythm to Lip's gait. He has been examined by one of our trusted vets, and they agreed that intervention after so long would likely do more harm than good. Aside from him being predisposed to getting arthritis in that leg, they reccomended leaving it be.  To add to his story, poor Lip is positive for Heartworms. He has started his treatment and we can tell he's already feeling better, but he still has a ways to go before he gets a clean bill of health. Currently, Lip is looking for a loving foster home to care for him through his treatment and give him a more secure and comfortable place while he recovers and fights the deadly parasites. For the duration of the foster care, HSDC will provide any and all medications, and will guide the foster through the heartworm treatment process step-by-step. Mostly, his foster's job is to give him lots of love and treats!  If you are interested in fostering Lip and want more information, call 615-446-7387 or visit our shelter at 311 Tennsco Drive in Dickson.  ##2234162##

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. Interested? Call 615-446-7387 ##2305633##

Meet Hank! This hunk of love is ready for a family of his own. Hank is a handsome German Shepherd mix with an estimated birthday of 06/01/2020. He weighs in at a healthy 60-65lbs, and is a fluffball full of love. Hank sports a unique colored coat, he's a stunning brown and tan beauty! He has the manners of a true gentleman, too, and will win your heart on a whim. He has basic obedience down pat, he knows "sit", walks well on a leash, and has begun responding to his name, too. Hank has done well with everyone he's met of all ages here, and would do very well in a home with kids. He has the natural loyalty that is common in shepherd mixes, once you earn his affection he will always stand up for you! Hank also does well with other dogs, but of course we require a meet and greet if you already have any in the home. Hank has not yet been tested with cats.  Hank is fully vetted and microchipped, and neutered. I AM SPONSERED. Interested? Call us at 615-446-7387.  ##2098532##

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##
