Story
Hi! My name is Pinecone (don’t ask me where that came from). 🐾 The world is still pretty new to me, so sometimes I get a little overwhelmed. But once I know I’m safe, I love to explore. I also like to chase my tail. I’m lucky it’s so long because I WILL catch it someday. I know I’m supposed to go potty outside, but sometimes I just can’t hold it yet! I also know my crate is a safe space, but if I can see you, I’d really rather be with you. I don’t even mind baths. The first time, I wasn’t sure what was happening, so I jumped in to get a better look...and then suddenly I was all wet! I learned how to do these things called steps, and sometimes I like to skip the last one on my way down. That's how I roll. My foster mom says I prance around like a baby goat, but I’m not sure I know what a goat is yet. I do know there is no other dog in the oven. I thought there was, but it turns out it was just my reflection. My foster mom could have given me some warning before she opened the oven to prove it, though. I about lost my mind 🤯. I like being held and being near my people while they do their human stuff. Did you know sending an email can make a whoosh sound? I was a little weirded out by that at first, but I get it now. I’m looking for a family who will help me continue getting to know this big world and teach me all the things I need to know to become the very best boy I can be. A calm home would be best, so I don't get overstimulated. Is that you? If so, please apply so we can be together forever. ❤️

Story
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Tammy, the Farm's resident low rider! Don’t let that fool you though – Tammy makes up for her small size with a big personality. Around the Farm, she’s well-known for her unique appearance and goofball antics. Since having her dental she is often found sticking out her tongue at staff members – even while she sleeps! When she’s not being a bit silly, Tammy is such a sweetheart. Curious and smart, she loves cuddling and giving kisses, but also exploring and running around, especially if it means she gets to chase off squirrels (aka Tammy’s nemeses). Tammy also loves going on walks but wants to be very clear that she’s the one walking you, and she will judge you if you try to interrupt her sniffing. In a home, Tammy thinks she rules the roost (which, of course, she does) and will call dibs on any comfy piece of furniture. She’s done well with kids as young as 9, but would do best in a home with no other pets. Tammy would probably be happiest in a home where she’s the only pet, and can be treated like the princess she is! If you’re looking for a sweet girl whose size-to-sass ratio is a little off, make sure to check out Tammy and add a little spice to your life! -ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 30lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 2 years -KNOWN WITH DOGS: Tammy would do best as the only pet -KNOWN WITH CATS: Tammy would do best with no cats in the home. -KNOWN WITH KIDS: She has done well with kids she has met. -KNOWN CUES: Unknown -KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Tammy is crate trained and house broken. -KNOWN LIKES: Love, treats, swimming, walks, cuddles -KNOWN DISLIKES: None If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail any questions to: trailshomefarm@homewardtrails.org PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you!

Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 30 lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 2.5 months as of October KNOWN WITH DOGS: Butterscotch’s first best friend is her sister, Pearl! The two love to romp and wrestle together. She hasn’t met other dogs in her foster home yet. KNOWN WITH CATS: Butterscotch hasn’t been introduced to cats, so we’re still waiting to learn what she thinks of feline friends. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Butterscotch loves spending time with the kids in her foster home, ages 6 and 15! Sometimes her excitement gets her feet bouncing, so she’s practicing keeping all four paws on the floor when her human playmates arrive. KNOWN COMMANDS: “Come” and “sit” are on the puppy class schedule! Butterscotch is eager to please and happily accepts payment in treats. She listens especially well once she’s had a chance to calm down and focus. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Butterscotch is making great strides with potty training! She uses papers or pee pads in her smaller daytime space and is learning to go outside. A consistent potty schedule helps her succeed, and she does a great job going out right after waking up. In larger spaces, playtime can be so exciting that she forgets where to go. She is crate trained and sleeps in her crate overnight, with an occasional nighttime potty outing. KNOWN LIKES: Did someone say PLAYTIME? Butterscotch loves chew toys, backyard zoomies, and playful wrestling matches with Pearl. Her puppy enthusiasm is contagious, and she’s always happy to recruit a human for some fun! KNOWN DISLIKES: Loud or sudden noises can startle this little girl. Stairs are still a big adventure—she’s learning to climb up, but the journey down is saved for another day. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Butterscotch is a happy little whirlwind of energy, kisses, and love! The more energetic half of this sister duo, she brings a spark of fun wherever she goes. Once the zoomies are finished, this busy girl is ready to snuggle right up. With Butterscotch, you get a playful sidekick and a sweet cuddle buddy in one adorable package!

Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 30 lbs -ESTIMATED AGE: 2.5 months as of October KNOWN WITH DOGS: Pearl loves playing with her sister, Butterscotch! She hasn’t met other dogs in her foster home yet, so her experience with canine friends is still growing. KNOWN WITH CATS: Pearl hasn’t met any kitties yet, so her compatibility with cats is unknown. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Pearl gets two paws up from the kids in her foster home, ages 6 and 15! She is sweet and patient with both, including during gentle playtime and careful carrying by her younger human buddy. KNOWN COMMANDS: Pearl is working on “come” and “sit.” Sometimes her sister provides a VERY tempting distraction, but this little student is eager to please—especially when treats are on the lesson plan! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Pearl is making wonderful progress with potty training! She uses papers or pee pads in her smaller daytime area and does well with consistent trips outside. With more room to roam, she sometimes gets so busy playing that she forgets to take a potty break. She is crate trained and sleeps in her crate overnight, occasionally needing a nighttime potty trip. KNOWN LIKES: Cuddles, cuddles, and more cuddles! Pearl will happily crawl into your lap, curl up, and settle in for a snooze. When she’s done recharging, she loves playing with her people and her sister, enjoying chew toys, and zooming around the yard. KNOWN DISLIKES: Loud or startling noises can worry Pearl. Stairs are also a little intimidating! She’s building confidence going up, but heading down is an adventure she hasn’t tried yet. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Pearl, a little sweetheart whose favorite seat is your lap! She’s the calm cuddler of the sister duo, with just enough puppy pep for backyard adventures and silly play sessions. She has been an absolute joy in her foster home, and she’s catching on quickly to potty training with a consistent routine. If your idea of a perfect day includes a little playtime and a lot of snuggles, Pearl might be your girl!

Story
Meet Susye — A Young Girl Ready for a Home of Her Own Sometimes the best dogs have the hardest beginnings. Susye’s second chance began when a Nashville Fire Department EMT realized that the homeless woman caring for her would not be leaving the hospital. He could not bear the thought of this young dog being left with nowhere to go, so he brought Susye home and made sure she was safe. For the past three months, Susye has been living with her firefighter foster dad and his four dogs. She has been a happy, peaceful addition to the family and has settled into home life beautifully. She is crate trained when needed, loves using the dog door, and enjoys spending time in the fenced backyard. Now fully vetted and spayed, Susye is turning 8 months old this month and is ready for a forever home with the stability she deserves. She weighs 43 pounds. We believe Susye may be a Feist, Rat Terrier, or Jack Russell Terrier mix, possibly with some herding breed influence. She is bright, active, affectionate, and eager to be part of whatever is happening. Like many young herding and terrier mixes, she will do best with regular exercise, engagement, and continued training. Although Susye adores her foster dog siblings, they are all older. Her foster dad cannot help but think she would especially love a home with a younger, playful dog companion who can match her energy and enjoy growing up alongside her. Her firefighter foster dad also works 12-hour shifts, and caring for five dogs has become more than he can reasonably maintain long-term. Susye is loved and safe, but this was always meant to be her stepping stone—not her final destination. She would thrive with a family that can give her companionship, consistency, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to use her smart young mind. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, and another playful dog would be a big bonus. Susye has already experienced more uncertainty than any puppy should. Now she is ready for the part of her story where she belongs somewhere for good. ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.October 1, 2026, 8:05 pm
