Story
He is getting along with other dogs in his foster home and doing great with potty training! He loves to play but is very manageable! Luka would be a great dog for a family, a couple, or a single person. A husky does require exercise so we recommend regular play dates and brain games or safe chews, like beef cheeks, while at home! We are still waiting for Luka’s neuter date. We are currently accepting applications for Luka. His adoption cannot be finalized until he is neutered but you can foster to adopt.

Story
Diesel is a very energetic puppy. He was born on August 25,2025 at 6:37pm. We are having to give him up for adoption because we had to move and the apartment complex doesn’t allow any animals. They gave us about a week to rehome him. He will pee outside but refuses to poop on a leash. He will however go and potty outside on a tie out. We do not want to let him go but we have no choice but to stay in these apartments for now. Diesels ideal home would have a fenced in yard so he can be let out since he doesn’t like to go on a leash. He is the sweetest puppy we have had and he absolutely loves our little boy, so children wouldn’t be a problem. He does get excited and sometimes gets carried away (scratches) when playing with our son. He has never offered to bite anyone.

She is 14 we inherited the dog we are never home. The dog deserves to have someone to spend time with. We feel horrible to have to get rid of her, but that’s no life for a dog. She is a good dog.

Duke

Mutt American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Kingsport, TN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Duke is a 2½-year-old neutered pit bull mix who is affectionate, energetic, housebroken, and devoted to his person. He LOVES people and other dogs, and car rides are his favorite thing in the world. He's food-motivated, knows sit/lay/paw, sleeps quietly through the night, and is well behaved in the house when I'm home.Duke does have some needs: he is very attached to his person and struggles when left alone, becoming anxious and sometimes howling or rearranging things to look out the windows. He is strong on leash and can pull, so an experienced handler is important. He also jumps enthusiastically on people, so older children or an adult-only home would likely be best. He needs a securely fenced yard and should not live with cats. Thunderstorms and fireworks are very frightening to him.He will go with beds, toys, leash/collar, travel supplies, remaining food/medication, records, etc. I'm looking for a loving, committed home where his great personality and loyalty will be appreciated.

Story
Xena is 6 years old she’s sweet and simple. She was our farm dog and looked after the animals. Occasionally she would chase a chicken. She treed any animal that does not belong at the farm, keeping the chickens, ducks and rabbits safe. We no longer have a farm and she isn’t coping well in our new neighborhood. She needs a job and property to roam.
