Story
Check out this patriotic little guy!   Meet Baxter! If you're searching for a loving new family member, your search ends here. Baxter is a 12-pound, 2-3-year-old Malti Tzu (a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix), and he embodies all the best, sweetest traits of both breeds.  Ater a few days in his foster home, Baxter found his voice.  Yes he has that Maltese trait.  For this reason, Baxter is not suited to apartment life.   Baxter was found as a stray in Nashville after someone suspected he’d been hit by a car and brought him to the emergency vet. Thankfully, there were no broken bones, but he is currently healing from a sore back leg. (He’ll have X-rays taken when he’s neutered on 7/7.) We wish Baxter could tell us what happened and how he ended up on his own—it’s hard to imagine any family not wanting such a sweet boy.   Baxter is both a people-lover and a dog’s dog! He loves to play and would thrive with a young, active canine companion in his forever home. He adores people and always wants to be by your side—be prepared to never be alone again! His sore leg doesn’t slow him down; he still jumps on the furniture to be with his foster mom whenever steps are available.   This young gentleman walks well on a leash and is fully housebroken. He loves going on adventures and rides like a champ in the car—he even prefers the back seat, though he’s happy on a passenger’s lap, too! Baxter is the perfect companion for trips to the park or visits to dog-friendly restaurants and shops.     To learn more about bringing Baxter into your family or to request an adoption application, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. Don’t wait—this sweet boy won’t be available for long!  July 17, 2026, 4:38 pm

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.

Story
Meet Vinnie-a 15 pound mixed breed with silky soft hair who was living on the streets of Houston. He was in deplorable condition when first picked up, cleaned up and given proper vetting (be sure to see pic of Vinnie when first rescued). This poor guy has been thru quite a lot on his journey to the good life. Understandably, Vinnie needs a slow introduction period to new people before he trusts them, it isn't too long and high value treats win him over quickly. I am sure he was not treated kindly on the streets. Vinnie loves laps and cuddles, walks, playtime with toys, and is doing well in his foster home. Completely housebroken and crate trained, he may be happiest being the only dog. Some dogs, especially large or rambunctious dogs scare him. Lives with a family with a teenager, please no young kids.Vinnie was diagnosed with heartworms, he does not have symptoms, undergoing treatment and is expected to live a full life. He is getting his last treatment on July 14th, and then will need a period of quiet time (happy to discuss in full detail with an interested applicant.) Looking for a foster who might be interested in adopting Vinnie, he will be ready to adopt about August 1st.PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet.

Story
Jameson Maltese Mix Male White ​1 year old 25 lbs Meet Jameson: A handsome, calm, gentle personality with excellent manners. Jameson is fully house-trained and will politely bark once to let you know he needs to go outside. He is also crate-trained, sleeping comfortably in his crate at night and resting quietly for short periods during the day when he is home alone. Jameson is an easy companion to have around. He rarely barks, rides calmly in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys meeting both people and other dogs during neighborhood strolls. He is surprisingly patient at mealtimes and has shown wonderful house manners, never chewing on anything inappropriate. While he loves chew toys, he prefers durable ones that can withstand his enthusiasm. He also enjoys playing fetch and happily understands "drop it." He is well-adjusted, affectionate, and eager to be part of a family. He is neutered, does not shed, and is truly an all-around great dog. Jameson would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely play, along with an active family that enjoys daily walks and includes their dog in everyday life. If you're looking for a loyal, easygoing companion with a sweet soul and wonderful manners, Jameson may be the perfect match. ​​ ​ Please Note: **No children under 10!** ​ If you are interested in adopting JAMESON, please visit our website at www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to learn about our adoption process and download the adoption application ​ JAMESON's adoption donation is $950
