Story
Hi there! Angel is a sweet 9-year old lab who is very chill, very well-behaved, and has been loved well. Angel's story is a unique one. She belonged to a Rover client of my boyfriend's. After the booking ended, the client asked him if he could keep her. He did out of the goodness of his heart. However, due to new landlord regulations, he is no longer able to keep her. Angel would do great with a family with kids or even a single person who has the time to give her some love and attention. She gets along with everyone and everything, so having other pets in the home is totally fine.

Story
Pom Pom is a very sweet 1 year old puppy with a lot of energy. She loves to cuddle and play but my work schedule does not permit the time she deserves. I have had her since she was about 6 weeks old. She needs and deserves someone who can commit time to play with her, take her on walks and at the end of the day allow her to curl up next to you. 💗 If you have another dog, she is best with dogs who like to play. She has all of her shots and has been spayed. It breaks my heart to let Pom Pom go but it’s what is best for her.

Xena

American Pit Bull Terrier German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Murfreesboro, TN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Xena’s mother was a pit mix and her father was a full-blooded long-haired German Shepherd, making her a unique and beautiful mix. She is very sweet and affectionate with her human and enjoys attention and companionship. Xena needs a new home where she is the only dog. A senior dog in the household picked a fight with her, and although Xena did not back down, she was not the aggressor. Due to this incident, she cannot be trusted around other dogs. She is comfortable with teenage boys in the home, though her behavior around small children is unknown. Xena has been an indoor dog, is fully house trained, and prefers being inside, staying close to her human rather than spending time outdoors. She would thrive in a loving, single-dog home where she can receive all the care, attention, and affection she deserves.

Moby was adopted by our family in December of 2023. Hes approximately 4 years old. He is the snuggliest teddy bear, and we love him dearly. Unfortunately, Moby has started displaying some behavior issues, and we aren't able to provide him with the training he needs. I am happy to discuss this with anyone who is genuinely interested in giving him a forever home. Moby loves to snuggle, and he loves his bed and his toys.
