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
***Tia is in a foster home, so she is not at the kennel. If you are interested in her, please fill out an application at K9stray.com and we will be in touch. Thank you.*** Tia has never met a lap she didn't like! This little cutie is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 9 pounds right now, but she still needs to gain a little weight. Meet silly Tia, she came to K9 so emaciated she looked like a walking skeleton! After a few weeks in a foster home on a careful feeding program, she is now a happy, bouncy girl, just a little skinny! She needs to add a couple more pounds but is ready to look for her forever family. Tia is very friendly and loves humans, but since she is still very puppyish and learning her manners, she would do best in a home with children over 13. She also loves other dogs and gains confidence from having her foster siblings around, so another dog in the home is important for her. Tia is doing well learning about potty training and crate training and loves going for walks. She also loves to cuddle on a lap at the end of a long, active day! She really likes to be with her people, so someone who is home a lot would be just perfect for her. Tia would really like it if you wanted to meet her, she can't wait for a family to love and where she will be cared for like she deserves. If you are interested in Tia and are at least 21 years old, please fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Story
***Adoption Pending*** Well, hello there tiny cutie bear! Bea is estimated to be about 4 years old and weighs 10 pounds. Meet Bea, a darling little girl with the most adorable, melt-your-heart deep, dark eyes, and an even sweeter disposition. Her cuteness is truly indescribable, she looks like a little stuffed animal come to life, with her stubby little legs and fluffy goodness. With a name that means "bringer of happiness," which honestly suits her perfectly, she is sure to bring so much joy to her new family. Bea took her treats so gently for her photo shoot, she was actually hard to take a picture of because she just wants to be by you, the photographer had to be quick! We really can't get past her loving gaze, it just gets you. Bea would probably prefer a quieter, more predictable type home to match her personality. She would just love it if you came to meet her, she really wants a family to love. She will need an adult only home since she is so small. If you are interested in Bea and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying.

We do our best to provide information that will help determine if the animal might be a good fit for you. Please note that behaviors may change in a home environment. We also ask our applicants to assume that any animal they adopt from us will need to be potty-trained and learn house manners, although this is not always the case. In most cases, the listed breeds are also a best guess. Our online animal bios are designed to provide as much information as possible and answer some anticipated questions. We do not have the resources to respond to emails with more specific questions.We are receiving an unusually high number of applications at this time! Applications are reviewed as they are received, but we do not select adopters on a first-come basis. Our job is to ensure each pet is placed into the best fit home for them and that adopters are paired with an animal that is a good fit for their lifestyle. All animals will stay online until they are “pending adoption”. Therefore, if an animal is still listed, we are still accepting applications for him/her! Please do not send inquiries about a specific animal's availability as this can change quickly over the course of the day. The fastest way to get a response is to simply submit an application! We will do our best to notify you by email if the pet(s) you are interested in are no longer available. New animals are posted daily, so please let us know if another furry friend peaks your interest (there is no need to fill out a second application)! Fill out the application completely. Every question must be answered, and it must be signed.-Applicants must be 21+ years old and live within a 100-mile radius of our shelter at 22415 Groesbeck Hwy, Warren 48089.-You must identify at least 1 animal that you are interested in.-Once your application is received, it will be assigned to one of our volunteer Adoption Counselors who will follow-up with the applicant who is the best fit within a few days, or to discuss other options. It could take up to a couple of weeks for you to receive a final disposition on your application so there is no need to check on the status.-Introductions will be scheduled by appointment only, 30 minutes per appointment. The entire household, including current dogs, must be present for the appointment. (Note: Please do not bring your dogs if you are meeting cats!). The introductions will take place outside in our parking lot (or in our cat room if you're meeting cats).-We will perform vet checks for current and prior pets in the household.-Finalizing the adoption will also be scheduled by appointment.Thank you for your understanding.
