Story
Bruno is an adorable big-baby boy! He's active yet a bit shy, very obedient, and incredibly friendly with all animals. He's never harmed anyone! If scolded, he just stares, hoping for a head-pet to make amends. Raised alongside his momma since newborn, we chose to keep him to balance our family's female pets. He adores head massages, treats, plushies (carries them everywhere in his mouth), walks, and playing with other pets. Our 2-acre yard gives him plenty of room to romp, so we don't visit dog parks. He's vaccinated and dewormed. He has been groomed so has experience at the groomers. He's the perfect dog, but heat seasons pose challenges. Despite efforts to separate him from females, a recent mating incident highlights the struggle—unfair to confine him for natural instincts. Neutering is choice of his new family. Bruno occasionally marks territory indoors but otherwise lounges on sofas or his dog bed, calm and content with toys and has access to outside anytime. Message me for more!

Story
Ella is a nine year old chihuahua who doesn’t like children or other pets and I will not approve an adoption with children at all. She just doesn’t like small humans and never has since the day we got her. Other pets are a concern but it’s a maybe. She is happiest on your lap.

Story
Allow me to introduce Daisy. She showed up at my 3rd floor apartment door on February 23rd during a rainstorm. She was cold, scared, and wet. I was able to earn her trust, get her warm and dry and finally in my home, where she immediately made herself at home on my couch. I took her around the next day to see if I could find where she belongs, posted on multiple socials and message boards, and took her get scanned for a microchip. All of that came up empty. She is now fully vaccinated and microchipped. Currently coming off of a bought of kennel cough and an absolute sweetheart. I have two cats that she keeps trying to get close enough to play with them, but they ain't having none of it. Quick Stats: - Roughly 50lbs & 1yr old - Thinks she's 15lbs and loves to cuddle - Gray with white paws and chest - Not spayed (if deal breaker, will make sure that is done before adoption) - Leash trained * - House trained * * mostly, any shortcomings here are on my, I'm not used to doggos.

Story
Pepper was found when she was about 4 months old wandering my old apartment complex on a hot day in june back in 2022. The crick in her tail lead me to believe she was abandoned or lost so i waited and posted about a potential lost dog with no notes for a month so decided to home her myself. She is an incredible dog with personality. Energetic, Loves to be pet 24/7, a snuggler, a kisser, and jumper. She does have anxiety when it comes to storms and will find any nook and cranny to tuck herself away in, and misses people dearly when you leave the house. She needs someone who has more time for her, both to give her the love she needs and the time to play she has too much energy for. She is potty trained and knows some basic commands. Will you give her the home she deserves?

Story
Griffey is extremely playful, fun-loving, and energetic. He knows most commands like sit, stay, lay down, kennel up (goes in his crate), and roll over. He loves to go on walks and run around in the backyard. Adopters should be aware he has food aggression. He severely resource guards his food. As long as he is left alone while eating, he is perfectly happy and well-behaved, but if you go near his food, he growls, barks, and may bite. He should go to a family without small children or other dogs.

Murphy

Bichon Frise Shih Tzu

Male, Puppy
Hermitage, TN

Story
We are looking for a loving home for our 4-year-old Shih-Tzu Bichon mix, Murphy. Murphy has been a cherished part of our family since we got him during COVID quarantine. For the first year and a half, he enjoyed constant companionship, but as life returned to normal and our family grew, Murphy began to experience separation anxiety and jealousy. Ideal Home: Murphy would thrive as the only pet in a home where he can receive lots of attention, cuddles, and love throughout the day. Why Murphy Needs a New Home: Separation Anxiety: Murphy struggles with being left alone after spending so much time with us during the pandemic. Dominance Issues: Introducing a second dog in our home was problematic, as Murphy tried to establish dominance despite being smaller. Jealousy: With the arrival of our baby last year, Murphy's jealousy and desire to dominate became more of an issue.
