Story

Meet Tigger! This handsome boy is looking for a loving home to care for him for the rest of his days. Tigger is a lovable 31 flavors mixed breed who we met originally way back in early 2019 when he was just 6 months old. Tigger spent some time with us here before he was adopted into a home who loved him very much. He spent the next five years in the care of his dad, who doted on Tigger and showed him all the love he knew how, but in early 2025 Tigger's dad sadly passed away, leaving a heartbroken Tigger behind. His owner's family did their best to care for him for a couple of months, but Tigger began to develop some intense medical issues that they were unequipped to care for, and they reached back out to us. They told us of the sad situation Tigger had been left in, and that they were struggling to care for him initially even without his condition, and asked us if we would take him in and find him a loving home. With the help of our local Animal Control officer for transport, Tigger entered our care again nearly five years after we had seen him last. Upon seeing Tigger again, we could see written all over him the suffering he had been through. Not only was Tigger's heartbreak over his owner showing on his face, but he had lost nearly all of his fur due to demodex mange, a non-contagious mange attacking his skin and immune system. Tigger was rightfully terrified, his whole world had been turned upside down in such a short period of time. It took Tiggy several days to come around to the idea of us taking him for walks or even petting him without him reacting in fear. Then, like a lightswitch, one day after his medicated bath he decided he was ready for love. Tigger went from crying and cowering to crawling into our laps and covering us with kisses in less than 24 hours, and we were so happy with this change it nearly broke our hearts all over again. The more comfortable he got, the more Tiggy Boy showed us his little personality quirks and the things that made him himself. We have learned that Tigger absolutely adores toys, specifically stuffies and tennis balls, and he will play fetch with you all day long. Not only is fetch a favorite past-time of his, but if his companion is too busy to toss his toys he's just as happy to carry his toy to his crate and chew on it alone. Tigger also crates well, keeping his kennel clean and not hesitating to retire to his safe space when he wants a nap or a break. Tigger gets along well with most other dogs, but as always we require a meet and greet if you already have any in the home. He does best with kids over 10, and is suited to a home with no cats. Tigger is fully vetted and microchipped. Interested? Give us a call at 615-446-7387 ##378625##

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 Lip! This sweet boy is looking for a home. 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. If you are interested in Lip and want more information, call 615-446-7387 or visit our shelter at 311 Tennsco Drive in Dickson. ##2234162##

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.

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##
