Story

I adopted Bo from the local shelter in January 2025. He was born in November 2024. He has so much love to give. He loves to run and play outside. I have had him inside some and he made decent progress on potty training but I just couldn’t keep it up with my schedule. He has recently completed doggie lessons. He will sit on command. Also can do other things for treats. Bo would be best with a family or person who could give him more attention. He deserves it. I think he would do best with teens/older children who want to run and play outside or an adult who enjoys running outside. He is still a puppy and does chew. He turned 1 November 2025. Please only respond if you would seriously give Bo lots of love and attention.

Story

This is Crash, rott/pit mix, he was adopted march 3,2023 when he was about 6-8wks, he was rescued from the side of the road and put in a shelter. He does not like new people, children, getting his nails clipped. We are needing to rehome as he has recently started to show teeth and growl at our 18month old and I’m so scared something could happen. We are having to keep him separated at all times now. He has to be put up when we have people over bc we are so nervous he will actually bite someone. Please do not consider him if you have absolutely no experience with an aggressive dog. He needs a good person who is willing to put in the time to get to know him and work with him. A lot of patience as well. A meet and greet would be best before I considered who can have him. Or if anyone knows a special dog worker who could give him the life he needs that would be helpful as well. Again. He is aggressive with new people, needs someone who will work with him and give him time and patience

Mac

Great Pyrenees Mutt

Male, Adult

Murfreesboro, TN

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mac is a 4 year old (approximately) GP mix. Mac is the most loving and loyal dog and is protective of his people. He lives with a couple of semi-feral cats and considers them friends. His best friend is a female dog he hangs out with at doggy daycare. He LOVES doggy daycare, but there are a few pups there that he does not like. Mac can hold a grudge. He is pretty selective when it comes to other dogs. Mac loves toys and treats and getting brushed. He loves his veterinarian and his former trainer (he knows the basics, but like any GP he can be stubborn).Mac hates vegetables, school buses and getting his ears cleaned. He is definitely not a working dog. He is a snuggly couch potato. But, Mac is bored. His protective nature and leash reactivity make it a challenge for his people to walk him enough. He is currently the king of a very small castle (townhouse) and would be most happy with a fenced yard to patrol. He does take affordable meds daily for a well-controlled chronic gum issue.
