Story
I got Adonnis when he was 6 months. He will be 3 in June. I’m looking for a good person or family to treat him as their own and love on him. Adonnis is unique, funny, gentle, and loyal. He’s an amazing dog, listens very well, and loves babies.I will cover the costs for him to be neutered and food!!

Story
We have been fostering Blue for a year. We rescued him when he was abandoned and have trained him, and acclimated him to home-life as he was previously an outside dog. He is a very sweet, five year old, 47 lb baby. He loves his toys, cuddling and playing outside. He is completely trained and will tell you when he needs to go out. He is crate trained, but sleeps in his own bed at night. He trained so well we no longer use the crate. We need to rehome him as he plays too rough with our timid senior dog who has become anxious around him. He is not aggressive with people. Blue would do best as the only dog in the house. He is loyal and loves his people, always wanting to be near us. He is great in the car and on the leash. He is a wonderful dog to hike with.

Story
IDGSR Welcomes NOVA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Nova and I'm a sweet 4-6yr old female Malinois mix gal. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts: Age - 4-6yrs old Kids - will do fine with older kids (10+) Dogs - good with large male dogs Cats - NO cats Training - needs standard obedience training 1. My story is pretty sad. I was chained to a tree with no interaction and used for breeding. I had my last litter of puppies (all have been adopted) and now it's my turn! 2. My foster mom estimates my age to be about 4-6yrs old. We aren't quite sure but because of my hard upbringing, I have a little more gray on my face. 3. I enjoy taking walks, exploring in the backyard, playing with other large breed dogs, and resting with my foster mom. 4. I would love to find a person/family who will take me on walks, tell me I'm the bestest girl in the world, and show me what a loving family really is. 5. I could benefit from obedience training. I'm a cross between two very intelligent breeds so I'll catch on super quick. Also, training will help us bond! 6. If you are looking for a resilient, loving, friendly, sweet, and loyal new companion - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Story
Meet Buster – of Dave and Buster! Two adorable boys were found on the side of the road in a small crate. How can anyone even do that? Because of that beginning, we do not know anything at all about this boy. He looks mostly like a Black Lab to us. He is estimated to be 6 months old and weighs just under 37 lbs now, so he is on track to be a medium to large size adult dog (maybe 50-60 lbs?) He is very sweet and playful and seem to love everyone he meets. He's doing well on a leash and has been quite the gentleman at adoption events. He love love loves water. He's played with lots of different dogs in doggy daycare and lived with three pups smaller than him. He's just an all-around good boy and we want to find a forever family for him to love. If you think you might want to give this sweet pup a home, please email jojosdogrescue@gmail.com and we will send you an application, or visit our website: www.jojosdoghouse.com and download one. Adoption fee is $250, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, parasite treatment, and microchip with lifetime registration. Please visit our Facebook page JoJo's DogHouse (non-profit) to learn more about us and see many of the dogs we have rescued. We hope you'll join JoJo's family of adopters.
