Story
Max is a medium terrier mix around 5-6 years old and 25 pounds! He will need to be an only pet and no children. He could be a great dog with someone who is willing to work with him and teach him how to trust again. He has some quirks and triggers, but with learning, he could have a great home life March 8, 2026, 12:43 am

Story
Hi there! My name is Lucy. I’m a 40-lb female Small German Shorthaired Pointer mix living in Columbia, Tennessee, and I’ve been told I have a bright spirit and a joyful personality.I was found as a stray back in December, but since then I’ve been safe and well cared for. Now I’m hoping to find my very own forever home where I can get lots of love, companionship, and fun things to do with my people.I’m a friendly girl who loves being part of the action. If you’re gardening, walking around the yard, or just hanging out, I’ll be happy to join you! I would do best with a family that enjoys including their dog in daily life. I’m pretty adaptable too, so I could fit in well with many kinds of homes—even ones with land or other animals.I’m crate-trained and already have a good foundation to build on. I’m not quite leash-trained yet, but I’m eager to learn and would love someone who can help teach me. I have no bite history and no known behavioral issues.I get along well with children, other dogs, and even horses, so I could be a great fit for a family home or a place with a little land.Health-wise, I’m in great shape! I’m spayed, heartworm-negative, and fully up to date on my vaccinations, including DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies, and CIV.What I’m really looking for is an active, loving home where I can get plenty of attention, exercise, and time with my people. I promise to be a loyal, happy companion who’s always excited to see you.If you think we might be the perfect match, please have your humans contact Mary Ruth Rogers.She’s hoping a foster or adopter will spring her from boarding! This girl loves people, loves other dogs, and loves her toys!!! She REALLY loves her food and can be a little aggressive about it so all you need to do is feed her in a separate spot if you have other dogs  She is a pointer mix about 1-2 years old and 35 pounds! Very pretty girl! She would love to be in a home! Apply online or email russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approvedAvailable dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else. We promise our fosters that we will qualify all potential adopters before we ask them to communicate with potential adopters.The application is the first step.

Story
Bacon is a 11 yr old 22 lb Jrt  that came from a hoarding situation. He and his siblings were very scared and unsure of what was in store for them. Bacon is thought to be deaf. Consider giving this handsome guy a loving and understanding place to live out his days and enjoy the rest of his life. He is still learning to trust people so isn't a lap dog or cuddler. It will take time to build a relationship. Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.The application is the first step.

Story
URGENT: Foster or adopter Needed!! My heart is heavy writing this. Johnny and Tommy need a foster home this weekend if at all possible.These sweet boys are 11-year-old full brothers, small at just 15–20 pounds.Since they were puppies (around 6–8 months old), they’ve lived on a farm where they’ve truly been the guardians of the land—an alarm system for anything that drives onto the property. They’ve peacefully lived alongside other dogs, goats, horses, donkeys, and pigs. They’re used to being outdoors most of the time and were brought inside during bad weather. They are not house trained, but they are smart, food-motivated, and eager to please.They love treats and warm up quickly to people who come bearing snacks.Johnny’s past hasn’t been easy. He was kicked by a previous owner wearing boots, so he can be skittish—especially around boots—and has some anxiety with crates and car rides. Despite that, he has so much love to give once he feels safe.They’ve been fed pedigree kibble and have known a simple, consistent life.These boys don’t understand why things are changing. They deserve a soft place to land!If you can foster—or know someone who can, please reach out. Giving Johnny and Tommy a home right now would mean everything to them… and to all of us trying to help them.
