He’s a sweet and loving old man. He used to get along with other animals when he was little, but we moved into a smaller house and he got old and grumpy now he doesn’t like other animals, but he loves people.I got him from my great grandfather when he was just a puppy, but I moved into a new house and he’s not getting along with the animals and I have to get rid of him

Story
See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer * Harley needs a fresh start. ❤️ This isn't because Harley isn't a good dog. It's because life changed. Her family no longer has a yard, and the stress of sharing space with a senior dog battling cancer has become too much for everyone. Harley deserves a home where she can simply be Harley. She's a 4-year-old, spayed Pit Bull who absolutely adores people—especially kids. She's the kind of dog who wants to be touching you at all times, whether she's snuggled under a blanket on the couch or giving her goofy little 'love nibbles' while she's covering you in kisses. Harley is potty trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is up to date on vaccines. She does have allergies that are well managed with Cytopoint injections and a lamb-based diet. She loves healthy treats, tennis balls (for as long as they survive ), and she firmly believes rain is optional. Harley needs to be the only pet. She has so much love to give—she just wants a family she doesn't have to share. If you can offer Harley the home she deserves, or would like more information, please send us a message. And as always, sharing this post could be what helps her find her person. Email charice.johnson@gmail.com or call/text 865-315-2989 if you can help Harley start her new life.

Story
Trixie says Hi! Trixie is always happy to meet someone new, greeting everyone with a hearty tail wag. She is an approximately 10-year-old All-American mix. We don't really know, and she's not telling, but we do know she weighs around 27 pounds and is a great dog in the house with impeccable house manners. She is fully housetrained, doesn't bother a thing in the house, and is a very, very easy keeper. Trixie would do best in a low-key home where she can snooze in the sun and maybe go for a short walk. She will be your little shadow, as she will want to be in the same room with you most of the time. Trixie has learned a lot of new things since coming into rescue, such as a doggie door, walking well on a leash, learning to share with her foster siblings. Trixie is an all-around really nice girl who will make someone a great companion. She has a lot of love to give and would love to find her special person. If Trixie sounds like the gal for you, please see the adoption page and fill out an application.
