Story
shelter notes: 8/2-Ziggy was frightened to walk thu the kennels to the little yard so I carried him.  Once in the yard he immediate pooped & peed, definitely house broken.  He spent much of his time searching for a way to escape but consistently took a break and came to me for some affection.  He was not interested in the dog in the next yard.  He was brave enough to walk all the way back into recovery.  He has a healthy appetite and occasionally would sit for a treat.  He is a sweet dog.

Story
Meet Vaughan! 🐾 Vaughan is an 8-year-old 8LB Maltese mix, or at least that’s our best guess, and this sweet boy is ready to find a loving home to call his own. Vaughan is an affectionate little guy who loves attention and gives the best kisses! He enjoys playing with his favorite sloth toy, loves his treats, and is always happy when it’s time to eat. He sleeps quietly in his bed downstairs and does well using a wee wee pad. Vaughan is okay with other dogs, but does well by himself also. He can also be hand-shy, so he would do best in an adult-only home or a home with children over 15 who will give him the patience and gentle approach he needs. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will happily soak up your attention and shower you with kisses, Vaughan may be your perfect match!

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>  He has now totally healed from a sore back leg. (Hih had X-rays when he was neutered.  Everything now looks good.) 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 leg never slowed 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.  Baxter can entertain himself but must have a doggie companion in his forever home.  There is lots of energy to burn by playing.   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!  August 16, 2026, 10:58 pm
