Story

This gorgeous girl is so lucky to be alive! We were driving down a busy four lane highway when we spotted her run across the highway barely missing getting run down by a large box truck. She ran into the parking lot of a Dollar General so we immediately pulled into the parking lot and luckily she ran up to our van and jumped right in! We tried and tried to find her owner but to no avail. It's hard to see in the pics but she has one blue eye and one golden eye. We suspect she had a little Husky in her but we did a DNA anyway, lots and lots of breeds in her DNA, including 5% Chihuahua! She's a super mutt! Clarice is spayed, fully vaccinated, crate trained and microchipped. She is available for immediate transport PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $600

Story

She is a super sweet ten year old girl in great health. She weighs 50lbs and is super fast and loves hanging out outside. She also really loves snuggling on the couch/in bed and would prefer a family where she isn’t alone too much. She’s lived with cats her whole life but has not lived with dogs. We are willing to waive the rehoming fee but would love a reference or two. We will also include all her stuff- crate, collars, leashes, toys, bed, etc.

Story

This handsome boy's name is JJ! JJ is a seven-month-old American Shelter Dog who has enough energy for the whole family! He loves playing with his canine companions and has the potential to live with a dog-savvy cat who can tolerate his enthusiasm for life. He can be a bit timid due to his history and would do better with children over ten that will give him time to settle in.Please visit the following link on our website to learn about Second Chance's adoption process. http://www.2ndchanceanimalcenter.org/adoption.html April 17, 2024, 2:39 pm

Hi! My name is Chicka. I am a really good girl and I am just looking for my furever home! I am about 2 years old, weigh about 62 pounds, and I love dogs, cats and kids. I am doing so well with all of them in my foster home in South Carolina! I am spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for my age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. I am all ready to be adopted :) My adoption fee is $50, and covers all of my vetting, and includes transport within the next two weeks, if my new family lives in the northeast USA. ***PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ADOPT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS**** Please visit https://www.apply.daybeforetherainbow.com/ to fill out an adoption application form or email my rescue at taryn@daybeforetherainbow.com! Thanks for checking me out! Meet Chicka, your soon-to-be energetic companion! This playful pup, with a name as vibrant as her personality, exudes excitement without jumping on you. Chicka's enthusiasm for life is evident in her love for toys, particularly tennis balls, which she adores above all others. While treats might not pique her interest, she craves interaction and fun playtimes. Housetrained and full of confidence, Chicka always maintains good manners despite her boundless energy. Though she might pull a bit on the leash, her love language is unmistakable: fun toys and endless playtime. With Chicka by your side, every day promises laughter, joy, and endless games of fetch
