Story

ISO: Love and plenty of treats! Midge was rescued as a stray by our local shelter, but was chosen to participate in a very special program called H.A.L.T. In this program, she bonded with several teenage trainers who taught her basic obedience. (More about the program below.) During her month of training, Midge was full of affection for all the humans around her. Being HIGHLY treat motivated, she picked up on her training quickly. Being the perfect lady, she walks nicely on a leash and keeps her kennel clean. Midge would be happiest in a calm household with older children. She can be the "fun police", so any additional 4-legged family member would have to be pretty chill. Located in Knoxville, TN, H.A.L.T. (Humans & Animals Learning Together) is a non-profit program that provides therapeutic intervention for at-risk adolescents through a series of dog obedience training classes. With the help of adult volunteers, kids teach the dogs basic obedience commands, providing therapeutic intervention for the student trainers while increasing the adoptability of shelter dogs. The dogs are adopted into suitable homes after the class is complete.

Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee Olenna needs: -Active adult home or one with children over 5 -Fenced yard -To be an only dog Adorable 2-year-old, female, 9-pound possible Corgi mix looking for an adventurous family to call her own. Meet Olenna!! Olenna found herself at an area shelter and she is a beautiful little girl! Olenna will require a couple of weeks to get used to her new home and new people. She is a bit slow to warm up when making new friends. Olenna loves children and will do well with ones 5 years of age or older. Olenna will not always potty when she goes outside, but is pretty good at using pee pads in the house. There may still be some accidents as occasionally she misses her pad. Having access to a fenced yard will help. She is young and smart, and is learning lots of new things! Since coming to rescue Olenna did have two seizures and has been put on an anti-seizure medication administered in a pill pocket twice a day. It has controlled the seizures. She will require follow up bloodwork to make sure she remains on the proper dosage of medication. This diagnosis has not slowed down her activities nor zest for life!! Olenna will need a fenced yard to help her settle in easier. Olenna has a cataract in one of her eyes and does not have vision in that eye but the other eye is healthy and she is able to see just fine. Olenna sleeps on a bed in a the bedroom with her foster family but might enjoy sleeping in bed with her person also! She rides well in a car, but does need to be crated or buckled in so she doesn’t try to wander around. After a few minutes, she settles down and snoozes. She is current on her flea/heartworm preventatives, spayed, and microchipped. If you think you would like to meet this sweet girl, please fill out an application and let’s talk. Her adoption fee is $175.

Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee Nubbins needs: -Adult home - children must be at least 8 years of age -Someone home part of the day to continue my housetraining -Someone to help me lose a little weight so I stay healthy Hi everyone, my name is Nubbins. I’m a sweet 7-year-old Male White/Tan Chihuahua mix. I weigh in at just over 12 pounds - I’m working on getting down to a to a healthy weight and will need your help to continue with that. I had some crusty, red itchy skin and hair loss when I came to SBRET. With medicated baths (which I tolerated ok) and antibiotics my skin has cleared up. I feel so much better and my hair has started to grow back. My housetraining is coming along nicely – I’ve gotten the hang of the routine in my foster home. I do wear a belly band (a male wrap - I’ll bring it with me) when my foster mom is busy and can’t keep a close eye on me. It will take a little time for me to learn the routine in my forever home so please be patient and take me out often and everything should work out for both of us. I sleep quietly in my crate at night and when my foster mom needs to leave the house – other times she leaves the door open so I can nap there if I want to. I had never been on a leash/harness until I came to my foster home but you would never know it because I’m doing so well with that. If you happen to have a secured fenced yard for me to explore I won’t complain at all. I get along well with the other dogs in my foster home but sometimes I guard the toy I’m playing with and my foster mom tosses me another one and I move on. In my previous home there were cats and a lot of other small dogs. When my foster mom takes me for a ride in the car she crates me to keep me safe and I nap/ride quietly. I’m a cuddly sweet little guy usually but I did give the Veterinarian a bit of a hard time – he trimmed my nails, did my heartworm test and then I got ugly when they cleaned my crusty ears. Make sure anyone handling me for checkup/nail trim is aware that I might get ugly so they are prepared. For the most part I’m just your average Chihuahua without the yappy bark - I hang out on the couch when you're busy unless you're in the kitchen then I’m right there where the food is. I’m neutered, microchipped, also up to date on my vaccines, flea and heartworm preventions and had a dental. My adoption fee is $175. If you're looking for a great little companion like me contact my friends at SBRET.COM, get your application approved, and we can start spending a lot of beautiful sunny days together real soon. Hugs, Nubbins

Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee Larkin needs: -Adult home or one with children over 10 -A small, calm dog to cuddle with -Someone home part of the day to continue reinforcing my potty manners -No close neighbors as I bark if I’m left alone Hello, my name is Larkin. I am 10 years young, a male Chihuahua/Dachshund mix and weigh just under 6 lbs. My foster Mom is trying to put a little weight on me. I certainly don't mind the extra food and treats. I eat dry kibble just fine even though I am missing many teeth. I am a sweet boy who is a little bashful and somewhat nosey. And have we talked about my adorable ears — all the better to hear you with!! I am now doing well with my potty training and follow my foster buddies out the door. Remember though when I make a transition to a new home, I may have some accidents until I get your routine down just right. I would enjoy a fenced yard or patio because I do like the sunshine. I came in to foster with a group of 3 dogs surrendered to the shelter because my previous owner went into a senior facility. I’m fine without other dog companions but I would also enjoy another calm, senior dog in my forever home. I love to cuddle up with the dogs in my foster home. There are cats in my foster home and I don’t pay any attention to them. Since I am so small, an adult home or children over 10 would probably be the best and safest for me. I would really love a homebody to hang with. A walk or two, maybe a car ride sometimes. I am happiest with my person. I’m vocal when I’m left alone so I wouldn’t be a good choice if you have close neighbors like in an apartment or townhouse. I prefer to sleep and cuddle in the bed with my foster siblings and foster mom. I am not fond of a crate. I walk well on a leash and I do great with car rides. I am up to date on all vaccines, heartworm/flea prevention, dental cleaning, neutered, microchipped, etc. For more info on Larkin, contact SBRET.com. My adoption fee is $100.

Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee JJ needs: -Active adult home (no children) -Someone home part of the day to continue my potty training -No apartment/condo - can be barky -Fenced yard -No other dogs Hi all! My name is JJ! I am a 6-pound, male Long-Haired Chihuahua. I am 1 year old and I love to snuggle with my foster mom and dad. I am a loving little man and was quick to bond with my foster humans. I love my toys, especially if they squeak! I do bark at people and dogs that I do not know. Because I am reactive to other dogs, it would be best if I was an only dog. It can take me a minute to calm down and say hello to human visitors in the house, but my foster mom says I am a good boy because I quickly calm down and say hello to company. I would not be good walking in crowded places or dog parks. I will need someone to help me feel safe and work on my socialization skills. I will probably never be a social butterfly. I am content being a home boy, and a fenced yard would be my happy play space— of course, I will need you out there with me because I am so tiny. I am learning to walk on a leash and potty outside. My foster mom says I am doing great at both! I sleep in my foster parents' room in my crate next to their bed. I love sleeping in my cozy crate and rarely make a sound. I would be just as happy snuggling up in bed with my human. If you are looking for a loving home dog, I am it. Remember that I am only 1 year old and Chihuahuas frequently live 15 to 18 years so I hopefully have a long life ahead of me! I am neutered, current on vaccines and flea/heartworm prevention. My adoption fee is $175.

Feather

Dachshund Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Female, Adult

Knoxville, TN

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Adoption Area: East Tennessee Feather needs: -An adult home or one with children over the age of 10 -A special diet to manage her stage one kidney disease -Someone home part of the day to reinforce potty training. Feather requires frequent trips outside. Get along little doggie. Yes, you should get me, I’m a long, little doggie! And I’m just a chubby little bundle of joy. Foster mom calls me Feather and I am a 6 to 8 year-old, female, 12-pound Dachshund/Yorkie mix. When I first came to Small Breed Rescue, I was heartworm positive and had to go through the treatment for that, which meant extended weeks of bed rest. That long period of very little excitement or exercise suited me just fine. I just laid around watching my soaps and eating bon-bons (not really, I might have had a few small treats). Anyway, I went from being a scrawny, practically hairless mess to the pleasantly plump beauty I am now. I have a very calm and sweet disposition and I get along well with everyone I meet: humans and canines. I’m not big on the great outdoors, though I do enjoy rolling in a sunny patch of grass on occasion. I’m not a great leash walker, but if that is important to you, we could work on that together. I can sleep quietly in a crate, or I can happily sleep in a great big people bed…I will roll with the flow. My accommodating nature is one of my best qualities. I do have stage one kidney disease which is currently managed by being on a special medicinal chow that costs about $65 for a bag. But since I only eat about a ½ a cup a day, that bag lasts me well over a month. Your vet will want to keep an eye on that! I also need someone to take me outside every few hours as I just can’t hold it very long. I will try to go on a piddle pad if I must, but I have to warn you, my aim is not the best. Foster mom puts two pads side by side and that usually does the trick. I have been spayed, I am up to date on my flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, and other than the kidney disease, I have no other medical conditions that I know of. I’m ready for my forever home, are you ready to get along little doggie?? My adoption fee is $175.
