Annie was a single mom of...eight!!! Her kids have all moved away and now she is looking for a real and lasting relationship. She is a super snuggly character who is one of the most loving dogs we have ever met!! Annie hasn't forgotten her hungry start and still loves to steal food left unattended haha. Attributes: -SWEETEST girl! -loves children -does well with dogs after proper introduction -playful with other dogs -housebroken & crate-trained -used to invisible fence -Ridgeback/Shepherd/possibly terrier -calm personality around the house! Considerations: - probably no toy dogs - may not mesh well with an Alpha female canine

Story
Daisy Jane is… A world class snuggler Smart & food motivated Affectionate & playful Medium energy Approx 2-3 years old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Amstaff and ?? and loves a good game of FETCH! We rescued this cutie from a rural animal control here in middle TN when her time ran out. She does well in her room when her foster dad is at work and will couch cuddle all weekend if you let her! She loves sleeping in bed at night. She would do well with a fenced yard but currently does not have one. She loves to play with other dogs at the dog park but could have a doggie friend or not in the home- in some ways she really likes having her human to herself at home! She has had fun playing with young nephews of her foster. She also is amazing is the car and has traveled to several states on trips with her foster dad!

Story
Hi! I'm Jovie, I'm a 3 year old Greek hare hound. My birthday is April 22. I love cuddling and chewing bones. Belly rubs are my absolute favorite thing in the whole world! I get very attached to my person and would love to spend every second of the day by their side. I'm pretty hesitant around people I don't see every day and would rather have my own safe space when visitors are over. Children make me especially nervous and I would rather not have to interact with them. I have trouble making friends with other dogs, sometimes it works and other times I get overwhelmed and lash out, but I don't mean to. I love every one, I just need more time than others to adjust. I'm super playful and love running forever. I'll accompany you on all your walks as long as it's in a quiet area. I am very talkative and will serenade you in the mornings with the screams of my people. My favorite way to show you what I want is by dragging your arm or throwing my empty bowl. I can't wait to meet you! :D

Needs a kid who plays ball. Fetch is his most fun thing to do! Older guy, good with all other animals, livestock too! Hates thunderstorms and fireworks, so he will need to be inside during this, but likes being outside alot as well. He is housetrained, dont much like crates, but ok to do when mopping the floors if you add a good chew bone in there : ) Is a good porch pup! Barks only when a car drives up.

Story
Severly handicapped! birth defect due to backyard breeder. Front legs are both compromised. He can hobble across the floor to go out to potty, kinda like a kangaroo, and he can play in the grass which he loves, and with some toys as well. He is sweet. Very, but still young and wiggles, and wiggles and wiggles. He has a wheelchair but the flooring has to be just right for it or he will flip forward. We are hoping for prosthetics and have at least at this point made one contact. He has been featured on Nickelodeon. He walks like a kangaroo a bit and ties to jump up and give you attention but has no legs to hold himself onto you. He needs the PERFECT place, is your place that place? We require all families foster the first two weeks to be sure this sweet animal will fit in and be part of your family, otherwise we want him back, we love him. I know the adoption fee sounds high, but we have spent over twice that amount with two surgeries to get him this good, and wheelchair ready.

Story
owner surrender,This baby cried for months for his owner, it was the saddest dog ever....He orig lived indoors, reports say he kills birds. Wont share food sources. Nice dog, likes other little dogs but is food agressive when other animals are around. He came in very thin.....He is leash trained but should be only dog when food is out to be safe although he does best with the smaller dogs here and is only reactive with food available or if another dog comes to fence line. Most he is ok with, two of the other males here he is not friendly with thru the fencing.( He really is a sweet dog )who was loved very much by the young person who had him his first 4 years or so. then he was abducted for several months with someone who starved him and kept him on an apt balcony....We rescued him from the balcony. Please consider this boy! He is also crate trained now, prefers outside but will come in to play and be crated to eat.
