Story
Hans and his siblings came from someone with a lot of dogs. They didn't get any socialization as little pups, so they are quite skittish. Hans is the smaller of the 2 males. He has a beautiful white chest with a tail that curs over his back. He tends to hang back when the other dogs approach a human for a treat. He is a sweet dog who needs a lot of love, patience, and a slow introduction to new situations. What a wonderful experience it would be to bring him out of his shell. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. FOCCAS does not DNA test or guarantee breed. Hans' adoption fee is $275.

Story
Meet Rob...he was dumped by his owners, left alone outside for 2 days, and hit by a car. Luckily, he has no injuries. He seems ok around other dogs in passing when he is out for a walk. The volunteers say he whines when he sees other dogs so he may be ok if you have other pets. A meet and greet is always recommended. Please visit the Taylor Animal Shelter to meet him!
