Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.We rescued this senior boy from Nashville Animal Control in 2-2022.  The lady that offered to foster him for us is the person that found him homeless in Nashville, looking for food.  He came to us intact, heartworm positive and in pretty rough shape.  He has been neutered, brought back to good health and has been treated for heartworms.  He is ready for his new forever home!  He loves people, loves to lie around on the couch or a comfy dog bed, is good with other dogs, good in the car, good on leash.  He is just a total love bug.  You really would not know it, but he is also deaf and blind in one eye, but neither slow him down.  He has a hound's nose!  He is not good with cats or chickens.  He has a couple of other little quirks, nothing big at all. He needs a good retirement home.  If you are interested, please complete our online application at https://goo.gl/dGoP1L Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 29, 2024, 1:44 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This beauty was rescued from Memphis TN animal control when he was scheduled to be euthanized.  He was in pretty rough shape and had burns of some type on the back of both his ears.  He is good with other dogs, loves people, is active.  His coat is thick and very wavy down his back and tail, hence the guessed at breed mix. We would say no cats (actually depends on the cat) and no small animals. Jay is heartworm positive and is in the process of being treated.  Last Chance will pay for all of his medical needs during his treatment. Please consider adopting this beautify dog.  Apply at: https://goo.gl/dGoP1LVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 29, 2024, 1:44 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Crash was pulled August 2023 before his scheduled euthanasia date ( for space), he had already had his date extended because he was a shelter favorite, but his time was up. According to his foster, Crash aka Big Guy fka Polaroid has been an absolute delight. He is a big, goofy guy that likes to pounce and play. He loves toys, gets along with foster's dogs of all sizes, attitudes & ages, he's even befriended foster's blind pup around his same age, they're besties If one of the older dogs gets cranky with him he just kinda seems to shrug and walk away. Sometimes he'll give a 'woof' while he walks away.. just so he can have the last word. He's around 75# really wants to be with his human. He is microchipped, up to date on shots and has been neutered.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 29, 2024, 1:44 pm

Story
I adopted Bella at 8 weeks old from local Humane Society. She is almost 3 years old, spayed, great personality, good with other dogs and kids! Socialized and friendly. Good with boarding. Completely house trained. Bella is an inside dog. A fenced yard to run in or ability to take her on walks is a must…she loves both! She is the sweetest dog and loves to cuddle while you watch TV and she can’t get enough of my 10 year old granddaughter! I will miss her dearly but will be happy if she finds someone that loves her like I do! She has nice beds, toys, grooming tools, dishes that all go with her.
