Story
Nina is Mexican. She came to our family 5 years ago, when she was 7 weeks old. She's a covid baby, and this, along with her breed characteristics, make her easily frightened of other dogs, but not agressive (when we travel she has stayed with people with other dogs and she only evades them and adapts... with some warnings from time to time) She's an amazing house dog. She loves people! If you pet her, she's yours forever :) She's not noisy, she's obedient, not destructive and loving and needy. She's not very active, because of her fear, she prefers shorter walks but she loves walking in the woods. From time to time she pees inside but other than that, she's a very good dog. She only needs love and belly rubs. She's healthy as well. She has never bit anyone or been aggresive. She tolerates kids but she's not a fan; especially if they're intrusive to her space or peace... if not, she's nice and loving. She's tender and nice. She needs more attention than this family can give her.

Story
Gideon is a sweet senior who found himself in need of rescue when his owner had to go to a nursing home. He is young at heart and loves going on walks 3 or more times every day. He adjusts easily to a schedule and is good about doing his business outside. Some of Gideon`s favorite things are playing with his toy rabbit, sitting on his person`s lap, and sitting outside in the evening greeting everyone who walks by. Gideon recently went to a groomer and charmed everyone there! They took turns holding him and had nothing but good things to say about how well he behaved. Gideon gets along with other dogs.

Story
According to her foster, Millie is a spitfire! Fortunately, she is very small so she isn't bouncing off the furniture or chewing up your house. She loves other little dogs and doesn't bother the cats that she lives with. She is very active and playful and loves to drag around toys. She is crate trained, sleeps through the night, and loves to go outside. She is pee pad trained but seems to prefer to potty outside. She walks on a leash for a time, but then looks at you with her sad eyes (what an act) so that you will pick her up. She does have a hind leg that she sometimes limps on and sometimes uses. She can go up and down stairs but sometimes needs help coming back up. She will go anywhere with you. She will alert you with a few barks when there is a disturbance in her universe. What a fun little dog! She is estimated to be between 5-7 years old and recently had a full dentalFOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
