Story
Rambo has an energetic spirit and would do best with a family that can give him plenty of space to run, play, and explore. A fenced yard or an active household where he can stretch his legs and burn off energy would be ideal. He loves playtime, attention, and making new friends.Rambo is a handsome, loving boy looking for a forever home where he can thrive. He has a big heart and absolutely loves being around people. He's wonderful with children and enjoys being part of the family's everyday activities, whether that's relaxing by your side or joining in on outdoor adventures.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Freddie! This pup is all the things: he’s cute + cuddly, frisky + funny, playful + (mostly) polite. And, he has every shade of pumpkin on his face. Speaking of face, he loves a good face rub, and a good neck rub, and he has several tickle spots on his belly. The boy loves to be loved!    This cutie pie enjoys playing with his biological brother, Franklin, and any foster sibling who will play with him. He does a good job respecting the boundaries set by his grumpy, older foster siblings. He enjoys meeting new people, especially if it means extra love + attention. He thinks his foster family is pretty great & enjoys being with them, even if it means being toted around by the three-year-old. If they take a walk in the backyard, he likes to go exploring with them. Occasionally, his genetics get the best of him and he playfully nips at the ankles, but a firm “No, Sir” deters him. Actually, he responds very well to a simple, but firm “uh-uh” when he’s engaging in any less-than-desirable puppy behaviors.    Freddie is intelligent and wants to please his people. He does very well in a crate + is being trained in going to the bathroom outside. He enjoys his kibble, scrambled eggs, pumpkin, and any tasty treats. Toys are great fun for him, too. He sleeps in the funniest positions, and if you talk to him in various pitches, he’s sure to make you laugh at all the ways he will cock his head.    Freddie is a good-natured pup, who will be a blessing to any person or family who chooses him.    Medical Notes:   Neutered Microchipped Microchipped Dewormed Monthly fles/tick/heartworm preventatives  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 12, 2026, 3:33 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Percy is a dog who simply refuses to let the past hold him back. His story started as a stray on the streets of Martin, TN, until he literally chose his own path by following  foster mom’s oldest daughter  home  while she was on a run.  When the local shelter became overcrowded, Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue stepped in with open arms, and his foster mom drove two hours to pull him to safety. During his initial veterinary intake, we discovered Percy had survived some incredible hardships—including an old fracture that luckily healed on its own, and evidence of being shot at. He was also heartworm positive, but Percy is a fighter! He has officially completed his heartworm treatment with flying colors. Due to his past trauma,  he  is deathly afraid of gunshots and fireworks. When he hears these loud noises, he will start to tremble and look for comfort. He will also run if he gets scared, so walking him in a secure harness is a absolute must to keep him safe.   He will also need a fenced in backyard where he can get his zoomies out. Through it all, Percy has been a perfect gentleman. He has blended flawlessly into his foster home's pack of four other dogs. He is fully housetrained, and crate trained (though his foster mom rarely needs to crate him because his house manners are so good!). He is a smart boy who already knows how to sit, shake, lay down,  settle down,  and patiently wait until his food bowl is put down. Percy’s Personality & Home Quirks: •  Favorite Toys  and Snacks :  He absolutely loves playing with frisbees and tennis balls!  He gets a spoonful of peanut butter nightly in his foster home along  the resident house dogs.  He loves cheese cubes , and  grilled chicken. •  The Welcome Committee:  He gets excited when you first come home, but he calms down quickly. •  Quiet Companion:  He is a very quiet boy who only barks if he sees someone outside the window or feels threatened. •  Kid-Approved:  He is excellent with kids of all ages! His foster mom's 4-year-old neighbors come over to play with him frequently, and he is great with new people. •  Bedtime Routine:  Percy does not like to sleep away from his humans—he wants to be close to his pack at night. •  Animal Status:  Great with other dogs. No chickens (he will chase them!). He hasn't been tested with cats yet. Percy will need a patient, gentle family who can offer him the security he deserves.      Medical Notes: Neutered  Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Heartworm treatment completed ProHeart 12 Injection Maintained on monthly preventatives       APPLY HERE Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 12, 2026, 3:33 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Reese! Reese is coming out of his shell more and more every day, and it's been so rewarding to watch his confidence grow.  We're working on his manners, but it shows just how much he bonds with his person. Once Reese trusts you, he'll be a loyal and loving companion. He's definitely not a high-energy dog. In true hound fashion, Reese enjoys long naps and spending his time exploring the yard with his nose to the ground, taking in all the interesting scents. At night, Reese sleeps quietly on a dog bed in the bedroom and does great. He's still working on house training. Reese enjoys treats, although they aren't his biggest motivation. What he values most is feeling safe and building trust with his people. He's a sweet, gentle soul who would do best in a calm home. Because he's still a little cautious, he likely wouldn't enjoy living with young children who might grab at him or overwhelm him. Older, respectful children would be just fine. Reese isn't the type of dog to react aggressively—when he's unsure, he simply gets nervous and needs a little patience and understanding. If you're looking for a quiet, gentle companion who will reward your patience with unwavering loyalty, Reese may be the perfect match.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Fanta! Fanta is an affectionate, smart, and lovable puppy who is ready to find a family of her own! She's been sleeping in a crate at night and does wonderfully, staying clean with no accidents. We're still working on house training during the day, but she's making good progress.  Like any typical puppy, Fanta loves her toys—but she also enjoys a little variety! If you leave a shoe, sock, or anything interesting within reach, she'll happily claim it as her latest treasure, so puppy-proofing is definitely recommended. Fanta is vocal in the sweetest way. She doesn't bark excessively, but she'll let out an adorable, low little bark when she's trying to get your attention or if she's a bit unsure about something. One of the best things about Fanta is how affectionate she is. If you squat down to pet her, she'll practically melt right into you. She loves being close to her people, is eager to please, and is incredibly smart. She comes every time I call her and has been a joy to work with. She gets along beautifully with all of my other dogs and has a very humble, submissive personality. I'd describe her as having a medium energy level—happy to play and explore, but also content to relax with her family. I think she'd make a wonderful addition to a home with children. She also does great with baths, making grooming nice and easy. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate puppy who is eager to learn, loves people, and wants nothing more than to be by your side, Fanta is ready to steal your heart.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Valley Girl Valley Girl is, hands down, one of the sweetest dogs around. Once she loves you, she’s yours. She’ll happily attach at the hip, lean into every cuddle, give little kisses, and always ask for just a little more love. Ten minutes on the couch with her and it’s easy to see why she’s so adored. She does extremely well with other dogs and would probably be happiest in a home that already has one, a friend to play with and lay around with. She’s a little shy at first and takes her time deciding to trust. But the patience pays off, and watching her open up is the best part. Valley Girl came with an unknown past, found caring for her puppies. Where she’s been is a mystery, but she’s shown nothing but heart. She feels safest in a calmer home, ideally one with older kids or adults who can let her warm up at her own pace.
