Story

Meet Coney — the happiest, most affectionate playmate you’ll ever have. I adopted Coney in 2025 from Nashville Humane Association. He is truly the friendliest dog I’ve ever met — he absolutely loves people and quickly wins everyone over. Coney is very playful, full of energy, and never gets tired of playing fetch, tug, or running around the yard. He also has a very sweet side and loves laying next to his person and just being close. He bonds deeply with his owner and wants to be wherever you are. I am sadly looking for a new home because my work schedule no longer allows me to give him the time and attention he deserves. Coney would do best with an active owner or a home where he gets lots of interaction and companionship. I am hoping to find someone who will love him as much as he loves his people.

Story

This darling little Jack Russell boy is a young 18 month male that weighs 20 pounds and is a solid little love of a dog. His name is Puppa-Doo and he is an owner surrender that we are seeing far too many of lately. Who doesn't love a bright and happy to be alive Terrier pup that dances when you come home from a long day at the job. Puppa-Doo is great family dog just waiting to fit right in when you invite him to come home with you!!! He is housebroken and will go to door to alert you when he needs to go out. That is a huge plus in most family's check list. He loves to chase the cat for sport and fun and he will of course do a record demolition destuffing of any weak plush toy. Oh, how he loves to do that. And then to keep him responding to sounds, a squeaky toy just makes his soul delight and sore to rapid panting and smiles. He gets super excited when you play throw the squeaky toy. Puppy-Doo also will play fetch and chase if you want and that is perfect for young children who want a playful dog in their life. At the end of the day and lots playtime, he likes to give kisses and lay on your lap. . He's a door greeter-both inside the house and when a car pulls up. He adores love and attention and likes to sit and watch TV when you are there watching it with him. . And if you want a bed buddy then please let him crawl right up there next to you i He is a great protector and will alert you like a doorbell would and barks when he hears a car on the gravel driveway. All great and normal dog responsibilities that you want in your family lover and protector. And when someone shows up to visit at the house he runs circles around the outside of the house which is her own personal canine racetrack. He is active like a JRT should be. He is made that way. Crate trained and housebroken and good with other dogs and kids and adults. What more do you want in a dog and for your lifestyle. A physically fenced yard or invisible fence would be good to have for this boy. Safety for your family pet is so important.

Story

Meet Melvin, your new favorite little shadow. At about 12 years young and 13 pounds of pure sweetness, this dachshund mix has perfected the art of cozy. His hobbies include: burrowing under blankets like a tiny baked potato, following you from room to room just to make sure you’re okay, and supervising life from the comfiest spot in the house. Melvin is the definition of easy. He’s potty trained, crate trained, does stairs independently, and gets along beautifully with everyone, big dogs, small dogs, and cats. He’s happiest snuggled up next to you or tucked beside another dog for warmth. He enjoys long, thoughtful sniffs in the yard and car rides with heated seats. Melvin is a gentleman with refined taste looking for a soft place to land and someone to love him in his golden years. Melvin is fully vetted including senior bloodwork, neuter, dental cleaning, microchip, heartworm/flea/tick prevention and dewormer. He is being fostered in Knoxville, TN and his adoption fee is $150. Melvin does have a grade 5 heart murmur which is being controlled by daily oral medication.
