Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee Riblet needs: -Professional belly rubber -Patient owner -No children -Calm and quiet adult home -Fenced yard -No cats Hello, my name is Riblet. I am a sweet 3-year-old, 11-lb male Chihuahua mix. I was rescued from the shelter life and prior to being in a shelter my story gets a little confusing. I am a very sweet boy and handsome. I love to have my belly rubbed. I may need a short period to adjust to my new family as I do not do well with strangers and will bark and growl but once I get acclimated I will be your best friend. I do pretty well with my house training and I am comfortable with using a doggy door to go into a fenced area. I do walk on a leash fine but have a lot of energy so a fenced yard will be best for me. My foster mom encourages me to sit on the couch so that she can put a leash on me as I try to get more belly rubs. I eat in a crate because I love to eat any food that I can get my paws on. I also sleep in a crate with very little whining but I would rather sleep in the big bed with my person. I am learning to take naps to calm down and to cuddle with my foster mom. I do well in a car but my foster mom says I have to sit in a booster seat, which I am getting accustomed to. I enjoy playing fetch and I am getting better at bringing back toys. I do ok with the other dogs in the house as long as they are not in my face too much. I would not mind having a home to myself because I love to get all the attention and belly rubs. I do chase the cat at my foster home so I would do better without cats in my forever home. Sometimes when I am running, I may hold up a rear leg. The vet has checked me out and he said I just have a slippy hock that lets my leg sometimes extend more than it should and there is really nothing to do for it. This does not slow me down and it is just the way I am built. Overall, I am a happy little Chihuahua mix. I enjoy following my foster mom around the house and will sleep in the office while she works. If you are in the kitchen though I will be right there with you because I love food. I’m neutered, microchipped, also up to date on my vaccines, flea and heartworm preventions. My adoption fee is $175. Don’t forget I’m looking for a professional belly rubber. If you think this could be you please contact my friends at SBRET.com and I could become your new best friend.

Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee Stanley needs: -Someone home most of the day -Adult home or one with children over 12 years old -Needs to be an only dog as he wants all the attention -No apartments because I may bark when left alone Meet Stanley! Stanley is a handsome male Dachshund mix who weighs 8 pounds and is about 10 years old. This little guy wants to be your best friend. He loves snuggling under blankets, sitting on laps, and especially eating! He may be missing a few teeth, but it doesn’t slow him down. He’d be happiest with someone who is home a lot for maximum cuddle time. He walks well on a leash. He’s a very smart boy…..he taught himself how to use a doggie door by watching his foster siblings in only one day! He has a mild case of collapsing trachea that causes an occasional cough; it doesn’t seem to bother him much. He’s just a happy little guy! Stanley enjoys going for car rides, short walks, and cuddling on the couch watching Netflix — what an awesome little guy! Stanley is doing well with his house training. Remember he may need some patience with transition to a new home and we will send a belly band along with him to use during this transition. If you think a little senior gentleman might fit into your household, please submit an online application and remember to put down Stanley as your new best friend. Stanley is neutered and current on all of his vaccines and preventatives. Stanley’s adoption fee is $100.

Auggie

Havanese

Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee Auggie needs: -Professional grooming as needed -Active adult home or children at least 12 years old -Someone home part of the day to continue housetraining -Another playful furbuddy to hang out with -Fenced yard -No apartment living – I bark at times when I hear people or dogs My name is Auggie. I am a very handsome young pup. I’m a 9½-month-old, 11-pound Male Havanese mix. My fur is a beautiful soft and fluffy cream color. I did not have the best start on life, but now that SBRET took me in I have learned what my life is supposed to be like. I’m a little shy when I meet someone new but with a treat in hand that will change pretty quickly. I’m very food-driven, a very fast eater and always looking for more so I use a puzzle bowl to help slow me down. I eat separately from the other dogs so there isn’t a problem since they like food also. Other than food/treats, chew toys and tug O’ war toys are my favorite. I’m a pretty quick learner if there are treats involved. I probably didn’t have much human contact in my life. When I first came to my foster home I would lie as flat as a pancake if anyone picked me up. Once I know you a little, I’m a loveable little man. Now I follow my foster mom waiting for her to hold me. I love to snuggle on your lap while you’re reading or watching TV. I’m very well mannered and do not jump on people or the furniture and wait to be invited to be with you. I’m learning to walk on my leash/harness but will need a secure fenced yard in my new home. Once I get to know you, I can start working on leash walking again. Make sure I am secured if any doors are open that do not go into a fenced yard since I was not well socialized before coming to rescue. I am a happy boy and I do get the zoomies in the fenced yard and it’s so much fun to explore the yard with you watching me. Before SBRET I had never been taken outside to potty – I have made the potty/grass connection. I need someone home part of the day with time and patience to continue my potty skills. When I roam the house my foster mom puts a male wrap (belly band that will come with me) just in case I don’t get outside in time. I sleep all night quietly in my wire crate until I hear the other dogs wake up. At night my foster mom covers my crate so I feel safe. During the day if my foster mom needs to leave the house for a couple hours I nap quietly in my crate (not covered) until she returns. If she takes me with her I ride quietly crated in the car. I don’t know if I would like cats – I probably don’t even know what they are. I do bark at people and other dogs so an apartment wouldn’t work well for the neighbors. I’m neutered, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines and flea/heartworm preventions. My adoption fee is $175. If you have an active home for a handsome Auggie Doggie like me, contact SBRET.COM and get your application approved so we can meet up real soon.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We are sadly needing to rehome our wonderful Great Pyrenees. He is around 7 years old and is neutered. We took him in as a stray in 2020 and he has been an indoor dog since then. He is a loveable and gentle giant who is great with kids and other dogs/cats. He has no known health issues outside of a patchy coat that was the result of having been a stray prior to us taking him in. We recently moved houses and he no longer has the room to roam inside or outside that he is used to. We are requesting for a new owner to cover his most recent rabies shot (June 2024) and grooming ($50 total). Please text, call, email if you would like to meet him. We are in downtown Lenoir City but can meet elsewhere if needed.
