Story
Are you looking for : Handsom, tall, loving, snuggly, cuddly, loyal, playful and super sweet? If so look no further, Thor is your dream boy! He is located in East TN but Out of state is welcome! In fact if you’re seeing this on adopt a pet the cost of transport to your area is included in his adoption fee! Meet Thor! He’s one very sweet loving and handsome fella! He is weary at first meeting new people but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to you. He is sweet and very playful. He likes to play fetch and is active. He would do best in a home with older kids and without young children. They are so excitable and have so much energy that they tend to make him nervous. He does well with other dogs that are confident but not dominant. Scary or fearful shy or overly excitable dogs make him nervous and fear reactive. He lacks confidence and needs a home that will teach him that he’s a good boy and that he’s safe. He has been fine with small dogs but we have been told NO cats. He is crate trained and is doing well with potty training and not going in the house or his crate. He is current in vaccines, neutered and on flea and tick and heartworm prevention. He is protective of his people and his home. He is craving to be loved and love you back ten fold. We use Rescue Riders for all our pet transport needs because they are so good with our dogs! They are the best. They are also a non profit so it’s a win win for all! Please inquire about him at petpathorg@yahoo.com Application is found at petpath.org

Story
Jenny is the recent Mom of the 5 "J" theme beautiful pups (available for adoption - Jack, Jasper, Jocilyn, Jordan and Julia)!  She has done an amazing job with them and is now ready for a home of her own! She is approximately 2-3 years old and between 50-55lbs. Jenny is house trained and will alert you when she needs to go out!  While going 'in' her crate is not her favorite thing, she is quiet once in and settles quickly.  Jenny loves to play with other dogs and does play hard, so any other companion in the home should be similar in size as it may be too much for a smaller dog. She exhibits typical 'Shepherd' tendencies with following her foster Mom everywhere, is gentle when taking treats but does get 'happy feet' with new adults when excited and the foster family is working on correcting.  We recommend obedience training for all pups and dogs! Jenny's adoption donation is $300.      **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance.
