Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Mr. Green is a one-of-a-kind terrier mix with a story that’s as unique as his sweet, soulful eyes. At about two-and-a-half legs strong (yes, you read that right!), this resilient little guy doesn’t let anything slow him down. With one back leg partially intact and the other amputated, he’s adapted beautifully and gets around impressively well, especially with the help of his wheelchair when needed. But what really makes Mr. Green special isn’t just his determination—it’s his heart. He is incredibly people-friendly, great with kids, and does well with other dogs. While he hasn’t been around cats yet, his gentle and affectionate nature shines through in every interaction. Once Mr. Green chooses his person, he becomes your loyal shadow—following you from room to room, always wanting to be by your side. He absolutely lives for love, cuddles, and giving kisses, and there is nothing he enjoys more than curling up next to you after a long day. Mr. Green does have some special medical needs that his future family should be prepared for. He thrives on routine and is currently on a schedule to help him go potty outside, but he can still have occasional accidents. He wears a diaper to help manage this, and while he can urinate outside, he may dribble or have accidents when excited. His wheelchair is an important part of his mobility and daily life.

Story

🐾 Meet Ireland 🐾 Ireland is a gentle little soul who simply wants to be close to someone who loves her. At 9 years old and just 8 pounds, this tiny girl’s favorite place is in your arms or curled up right beside you. 💛 Ireland has very limited vision, and her left eye currently has some drainage that we are keeping a close watch on. Because of her eyesight, she relies on her people for guidance and reassurance. She may need a little extra patience as she navigates her surroundings, but once she feels safe, she is incredibly sweet and loving. Potty training is still a work in progress. Ireland does well when she’s carried outside and someone stays nearby with her, but she will need a home that understands she may need extra help and consistency in this area. Ireland is eating well, gaining weight, and enjoying the comfort of being in a safe foster home. She also has a dental scheduled to address a few teeth that need attention so she can feel her best moving forward. What Ireland needs most is a patient, compassionate adopter who understands that senior dogs sometimes come with a few extra needs — but they also come with some of the biggest hearts. If you’re looking for a quiet companion who just wants to love and be loved, Ireland could be the perfect little shadow for you. 🐶 Ireland’s Details: • 9 years old • 8 lbs • Sweet, affectionate, and loves being held • Limited vision • Dental scheduled • Adoption fee: $150 If you have room in your heart for a special senior who just wants comfort, Ireland is ready to meet you. 💕 📍 Apply to adopt: knoxvintagepetproject.com/adopt

EuGe is a 9 year old Maltese Terrier cross. He came from a home where they couldn’t care for the dogs any longer. He gets along great with other dogs.

He’s the perfect little laid back gentleman for a quieter home. He’s leash trained and will use pads. His Vetting is complete: neutered, all vaccinations, flea tick heartworm prevention, dewormed.

Story

Please read the entire bio for this rescue, it will provide all the information that one needs to decide if they would like to apply to adopt from SCMR.Adoption fee: $125.00 Crouton is about 13 years old and weigh 17 pounds, he is a very sweet and loving fella, he is almost totally deaf, but he can hear and respond to very loud noises. Crouton has a lot of health issues, so he will need a home that is willing to see him through any flareups and be okay with the cost. He is partially housetrained, and may need to wear belly bands (male diapers), he tolerates them well, they need to be changed many times a day. A person can choose to not use them if they want, but he will lift his leg and mark. A supply of the belly bands and pads will be provided at the time of adoption, that will be enough to last a week or more. He enjoys to go outside, so his ideal home would be to have a nice and safe fenced yard for him to enjoy. He was diagnosed with an intestinal disease, but he is doing great now, and the flareup seems to have passed. He also has had ear infections, so his doctor recommends a maintenance medicine to help this, a couple of drops every few days. He does not care for that very much, but he will let let the drops be put in both ears. He is also prone to skin infections, so it would be crucial to make sure he is dry if a person chooses to use belly bands. He has cysts on his shoulder and just below his ear, his doctors feel confidant they are benign, and because of his age and health, and that there are so many, we are not having them removed. He recently had a dental, poor guy lost 15 teeth, he is healing nicely from that, we also did have one growth removed, it was an odd skin growth that was hanging about 4 inches down from his chest. We opted to removed that one, because of it's location and that it could possibly get caught on something and possibly hurt him. Crouton does have a bit of separation anxiety, and will get into thing, like trashcans, and will try to chew shoes, cardboard...he is not choosy! Crouton is waiting for his forever home in Gainesville, FL.
