Story
Markie is a cute little guy with a big attitude and seems to love everyone.  He came in with several other small dogs and seems to have had a rough time recently based on hair condition etc,,, but whatever happened it didn't adversely affect his attitude toward humans or other small dogs.  he's a happy go lucky little fella.  He had the energy of a youngster but our vet thinks he's likely about 10 years old None of  this group is the least bit interested in sitting quietly for photos,,, so you'll have to excuse the poor results of our recent photo shoot.  March 17, 2025, 12:45 pm

Story
,,,, Molly is the typical cream or light blond Peke.  Her coat looked like she's had it rough for awhile, but that has improved with time and good food.  And she loves food.   She's a real sweet girl who came to us blind and after checking with our vet, it was determined that while she had no vision, her eyes weren't bothering her at all, so we just left well enough alone. She adapts well to new surroundings and has been remarkable in her ability to wander around amongst other small dogs and just find her way without any problem.  Blindness is totally different for dogs than we humans think it would be,,,, vision isn't the sense they depend on most... She has developed a heighten sense of smell I guess,,, and can notice a hot dog treat at quite a distance! December 14, 2024, 11:36 am

Story
Sharing my life with a pet is more time consuming than I realized. Oakley is a good dog. He is 3 years old. He was found wandering with his brother and taken to the shelter. He has made great progress from the frightened timid dog he was when he came home with me 10 months ago. He learns quickly and is motivated by praise and affection, not treats. He is 100% house and crate trained. Oakley warms up to other dogs and people with a little time. Good alarm bark but shys away from contact. Not aggressive at all. He likes to by under cover; his crate, a table, or a corner to feel safe. He likes to be left alone when he eats. I believe Oakley will do best with a single adult or couple. I have not seen him around young kids. Oakley enjoys daily play with me, walks in the woods, riding in the car, laying in the sunshine, and playing with doggie friends. He comes with 2XLRG crates, 1 folding travel crate, 1 mesh platform, 1XLRG pillow bed for winter, dishes/leashes/brushes. DNA test on hand.

Story
Ollie is a young, active boy who loves to run around with other dogs. He enjoys attention from people. He gets along great with kids too. He would love an active family where ample exercise and mental stimulation will be provided. He wouldn't mind cleaning the floor under a highchair as his full-time job. He is being trained to walk on leash using a gentle leader. He is the best at it and would love to show you how well he does! He has visited our local assisted living center and just wanted to hug all of the residents and staff he met. He wants to please and is a good listener and a very sweet boy.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
