Story
Willie is the absolute sweetest boy there ever was! He is about 4 years old and is wonderful with children. He loves to cuddle and loves to play. Not sure how he does with other animals as he’s never been around them and would need a very slow introduction. I’m helping rehome him for a family member that has a new job requiring travel several days a week. Willie needs help finding a forever home with a family to love and be there for him consistently. If that’s you, please reach out!

Story
Diamond and Ricie are Cattle Dog sisters. They were reported to GCHS as strays in the Bean Station area that had a litter of pups under a house trailer.  Upon volunteers arriving, it was determined that both sisters had had litters under the trailer within hours of each other. 19 healthy puppies approximately 48 hours old were recovered.  Jefferson City Humane Society and Blount County Humane Society assisted in fostering/rehoming moms and some of the puppies!    GCHS fostered these 5 cuties, and they are ready for adoption!  Meet Reese, Rain and their 3 brothers Roan, Riker and Ransom.  Approximate birthday 12/01/23.  Pups get along great with each other and love to run and play.  Full of energy, they are outgoing and don't shy away from people or other dogs.  Mothers were very outgoing and had a great disposition and just loved humane attention.  Puppies love it too!Out of respect for our foster’s time and privacy we do NOT arrange meet and greets without an application on file.
