Milli

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Portland, TN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Milli. We believe he is about 4/5 years old. He is a couch potato who loves to sleep in your bed or on a heated blanket at all times. He is crate trained, house trained, leash trained, good with kids, and other same size or smaller female dogs. He is fixed. We originally adopted him 2 years ago from a shelter. From what we understand he was a street dog when found. He was very shy at first and took a while to warm up, but eventually he settled in great with our family. We had 1 other small female dog when we got him and added another female pittie about a year later. All 3 got along great. We recently got a German Shepard who is male. Milli has become aggressive with him unprovoked on multiple occasions. We really don’t want to rehome him but it is getting too much for us, especially with small kids around. Looking to rehome him to a family who has more relaxed dogs, probably no male dogs or dogs bigger than him as we think this is his trigger.

Olive

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Portland, TN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Olive is vaccinated and an indoor black Lab Retrieve who sometimes enjoys spending time outside, so she would likely adjust well to being an outdoor dog. She is potty and house trained, and knows basic commands such as sit, shake, and jump. Olive is very playful and eats Dog Chow; she will come with a bag of food and a crate. She is crate trained and comfortable around strangers. Olive is great with children and tends to bark at other dogs, but since she has been raised with another dog her whole life, she could gradually get used to being around them.

Story

Taco is a rescued dog...he is a very nice companion who likes to play, run and car rides If you leave him alone for a while, he won't destroy nothing and won't pee or poop inside (unless is extremely necessary and can't hold it for very extended period of times) I just switched jobs/location and traveling frequently is now part of my duties, that's why a new home for him is urgently needed.

Cesar

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, Young

Franklin, KY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Meet Cesar! Brains? Check. Personality? Double check. Impulse control? …we’re working on it. Cesar is a smart, athletic guy who’s basically the canine version of that kid in class who finished the test early and then started a small fire out of boredom. This boy has smarts AND energy. Cesar believes chew toys are a suggestion, not a rule—why chew one toy when you can chew everything? He’s got a doggy door and uses it like a VIP pass to bring everything outside. And yes, he’s been known to treat the neighborhood like his personal parkour course if the gate isn’t Fort Knox secure. Cesar would thrive with an active, patient human [with a good sense of humor] who can give him structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation!! If you love a dog with spirit and smarts, Poindexter might just be your perfect match!

Gator

Pit Bull Terrier Australian Shepherd

Male, 4 mos

Franklin, KY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Gator came to us from a less than desirable situation. He is a blind pup with so much love to give. He is currently in a foster home with big sis Mia. She is a German Shepherd that has shown this sweet puppy the ropes. We are going to require at least one other dog in the household that he can bond with. He loves others dogs. He does not let his disability get in his way at all. Although he’s not the most fond of being crated right now, that’s probably something you could work towards if wanted. He is fully vetted and is started on flea/tick/HW preventative. Gator is a rambunctious puppy that absolutely loves life and loves love. Are you ready to give him a chance?

Rajah

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs

Franklin, KY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rajah was sadly found dumped at the local park, but despite his rough start, he’s already showing what a sweet boy he is to the shelter staff. Still new to the shelter environment, he’s timid and scared, so we’re taking things slow and letting his personality shine through at his own pace. While it’s too soon to say for sure how he does with other dogs, he has been calm and non-reactive when passing kennels and when other dogs are nearby in the play yard. He’s had only a few overnight accidents suggesting he may already be house-trained. Overnight accidents are very understandable since shelter dogs are unattended in their kennels for long stretches—much longer than they would be in a home with regular potty breaks. With patience, kindness, and a loving home, this boy has so much potential! Rajah’s just looking for the fresh start he deserves!
