Story
Diesel Lee is estimated to be around 4 to 5 years old. We found him on February 5, 2022. He was abandoned and left chained to the porch of an unoccupied house. He was starving, cold, and very sick. He has a gentle heart and is well-tempered; however, he often is unaware of his own strength and doesn't really respect personal space. LOL. I prefer that an individual who has experience with this breed, or at least large dogs, becomes Diesel's adopter. He is high maintenance, meaning only that he is always full of energy and very curious. Also, he has separtion anxiety issues and must be confined to a kennel, or other appropriate area, when left unattended. He loves chew toys, ropes, and peanut butter. He has 2 tennis ball launchers and this is the highlight of his day. Diesel will need a blanket at bedtime because he sleeps best when covered up completely, head included. He also loves to sing to Imagine Dragons songs! Diesel truly is a good boy and deserves a Great forever home.

Story
Stella Luna was born in our rescue on 2-10. Her mom had been living on her own for a while so we had to trap her and we got her just in time. She had to have an emergency c-section and her milk never came in so all 11 babies had to be bottle fed. Stella is a typical bottle fed puppy in that she didn’t have her mom to teach her proper manners. She is very mouthy so we think she will be best with older, seasoned dog owners and she definitely needs another dog to play with because she loves them. This girl is a sweet, loving, playful girl.

Story
Say hello to the Righteous Gemstones. Mom is Lindy. She and her 6 pups were living on their own in the country and a nice lady was trying so hard to find help for this family. Sadly one pup did not survive but we were notified just in time to save mom and 6 pups. Lindy is only 42 pounds and looks to be a Kelpie. That’s a herding breed…and a perfect medium size. Mom is very laid back and she and her pups are enjoying the lifestyle they have come into. They have comfy beds, blankets, a couch, ac and all the food, water, vetting and love they needed to help them survive. We estimate the puppies were born in late March so that means if all goes as planned they will be fully vetted and ready for their forever homes the last weekend in May. What a perfect time to bring a pup home.

Story
Bailey has the face of a Beagle and the legs of a gazelle. He is trained to use a pet door and has been accident-free since arriving here. He's a sweet little boy that needs a family who will help boost his confidence. We think he's around 2 years old and he is healthy and ready to travel now. He seems to be afraid of men so a home with females or smaller quiet males would be best for him and another friendly dog would also help him feel more comfortable. If you're interested in welcoming Bailey or any of our Funny Farm friends into your home, please visit funnyfarmpets.org to learn more about our Tennessee-based rescue, the adoption process, the comprehensive vetting procedures these pets undergo before they come to your home, and to submit an adoption application. The adoption fee for this pet is $325, and an additional $200 is required for transport. Currently located in a foster home in Tennessee, this pet will be transported to a northern location after the adoption process is finalized.

Story
Manny is an estimated 8-10 year old Frenchton that weighs about 25lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention. Manny is great dog! If you are looking for a shadow, he is your guy! He loves to snuggle on the couch and relax – he is not a dog bed kind of dog.  His age does not slow him down! He still has a manageable amount of energy and gets around great! Takes little effort for him to jump on the couch or beds! He LOVES to go on walks and be outside. He would best in a house with a yard so he can chase squirrels and birds, although he is probably not quick enough to catch any He does pull slightly on a leash, especially when he sees other dogs or a critter, so paying attention while on walks is a must. We recommend a using a regular leash for him, not a retractable. He loves his harness, and that has helped while on walks to settle him down (he gets so excited seeing other dogs). He's a great eater and loves scrambled eggs on the weekend. He knows basic commands like "sit' and "stay". He is very smart and loves a treat! Due to some previous trauma, he does NOT like being crated or being picked up. But that does not stop him from cuddling with you. He has done well around other dogs for the most part, but it is case by case so recommending a home with no other dogs or young children. Since being in foster care, Manny has done well with house training and can go about 6 hours or so without having an accident. At night, he sleeps under the bed, or on top of the covers on the bed. Occasionally, the boston in him comes out and he wants under the covers :)  Manny loves being with his people, and will sometimes bark or cry for a bit when left alone. He would do best in a home where he can go with you everywhere or you are home often. He loves car rides, but definitely either restrain him or have the windows on child lock. He loves to move and look out the window! Manny would make a great companion for someone who works from home and/or is home often or can take him to work. He loves to curl up at your feet while you work. He is so great and loving and has lots of love to give! If you would like to give Manny his forever home, please submit an application at southerncrossbtr.com. The adoption fee is $250. He is being fostered in Princeton, KY. Approved adopters must be willing to travel to where the dog is being fostered in order to adopt them.  For a complete listing of all of our available Bostons, or to learn more about SCBTR, please visit our website at www.southerncrossbtr.com. Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/southerncrossbtr or Instagram @scbtr. Thank you for choosing rescue and for considering Southern Cross for your next furbaby.  ** IF THIS AD IS STILL ACTIVE, THEN THIS PET IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ** ##1954437##

Story
Lulu is an 8 year old splash Boston Terrier that weighs about 14lbs. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention. Here's what Lulu's foster has to say about her!  Meet Lulu. Lulu has been with me for a few months now and since then, she has come into her own. She is probably one of the sweetest gentle little dogs I have ever met.  She loves to cuddle on the couch and loves to sleep in the big bed at night. She likes to sleep by my desk during the day. She gets along with other dogs, but is really more interested in her human. She loves walking the yard and rolling in the grass and enjoying the sunshine. She doesn’t seem to require much exercise. She does well with potty training, but you have to be diligent and go out with her and make sure she does her business. She does well in the crate and does not bark. I don’t really think I’ve heard her bark once since she’s been here. She walks well on a leash, but would prefer a fenced in yard to lounge in.  She loves her mother Hubbard cookies and doesn’t like to miss a meal. So far, she has showed no interest in toys. She seems to do well on car rides.  I think Lulu would do best in a home on the quieter side. To be honest, I don’t think she’d have a problem with being the only dog as she loves to have 100% attention all to herself. If there was another dog in the home, probably one that is laid-back as well would be a good fit. She is a joy to have around. She’s like a ray of sunshine. If you would like to give Lulu her forever home, please submit an application at southerncrossbtr.com. The adoption fee is $250. She is being fostered in Memphis, TN. Approved adopters must be willing to travel to where the dog is being fostered in order to adopt them.  For a complete listing of all of our available Bostons, or to learn more about SCBTR, please visit our website at www.southerncrossbtr.com.
