Story
To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Be sure to watch his video!  Reggie is a 2yo male Mastiff/German Shepherd mix who was rescued as a stray in Memphis. Friendly and well-socialized. Reggie is selective about his dog friends and would probably enjoy being the only dog.  Not cat tested.  History with children unknown. Medium energy level outside, quiet and well-mannered in the house.  Crate trained and housebroken. Obeys basic commands.  Loves to be with his people.  Good on a leash, rides great in the car.  When he first came to us, Reggie had heartworms, but he was treated without complications and cured and is now ready for adoption. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, neutered, weighs about 85 pounds.  AWESOME young Mastiff/shepherd mix will make a wonderful companion (and jogging partner!)  for an active family who loves the breed. .

Story
Meet Lady Rose— the Queen of Cuddles and Couch Time! 👑 If you’re looking for the world’s sweetest, most smooshable, big-headed lovebug… you’ve found her! Lady is a 3-year-old mastiff mix with the softest soul and the cutest little white “shoes” you’ve ever seen. She’s equal parts gentle couch potato and goofy best friend — basically a perfect mix of chill and charm. Lady LOVES her people and will happily lean right into you for snuggles, belly rubs, or just to remind you that she’s there. She’s the kind of dog who rolls over for pets, politely asks for more, and then melts into your lap (yes, she’s convinced she’s lap-sized). She has perfected the art of leaning her whole body into you just to make sure you know she loves you. She’s not pushy about it either — she’ll politely ask for affection, and when you stop, she gives you the saddest “but why did you stop petting me?” look until your heart melts and you start again. She loves to roll over for belly rubs, and if she could, she’d spend all day like that. Watch Lady Rose in action in her video! https://youtu.be/CrIBB0RQicA?si=iQAFu6ekTYtBx0sT This big girl is a total dream on leash — she walks right beside you like she’s done it a million times before, checking in often with a little look that says, “Am I doing good?” (Spoiler: she’s always doing good.) She’s super easy to handle and loves meeting new people. In fact, she’s never met a stranger — she walks right up to everyone she meets, wiggles, leans in for pets, and wins hearts instantly. Lady is also amazing with kiddos — she knows to be extra gentle, doesn’t jump, and melts when little hands reach for her. She’s the kind of dog that makes people say, “Wow, she’s such a good girl,” about ten times in a row. When it comes to other dogs, Lady has what we call “queen energy.” She’s calm, polite, and a little bit aloof — she doesn’t need to be the center of the dog party, but she’ll happily hang out in the same space as long as everyone’s being respectful. She’s met a few dogs in playgroups and usually prefers to wander around and mind her business (unless someone gets a little too bouncy in her face — then she’ll give them a tiny “hey, personal space please” and go back to her stroll). She’d do best with another laid-back, mellow dog who won’t pester her for playtime — or she’d be perfectly happy being the only royalty in the house! And let’s talk about kitties — Lady met one and was a total lady about it! She was curious but cautious, gave a sniff or two, and then politely backed off when the kitty didn’t seem interested. She’s got great manners and would do just fine sharing her castle with a feline friend who appreciates her calm energy. At home, Lady is pure cozy vibes. She’s low-energy and would rather nap next to you than run around. She’s the ultimate couch potato. She’s all about comfort, love, and being close to her people. Lady would do amazing in a home or apartment with someone who wants a snuggle buddy, walking companion, and best friend all rolled into one big, sweet, smooshy face. She’s affectionate, gentle, and ready to fill your life with calm, goofy joy. So if you’ve been dreaming of a big-headed, soft-hearted, nap-loving, people-adoring, kid-snuggling, dog-tolerating, cat-respecting queen to rule your heart, Lady Rose is your gal!!

Tanner is a handsome boy! He loves to take walks and lean into you for pets. He is a great car rider and really doesn't care where you are headed - he just wants to go along. He gets along with other dogs, but doesn't actually need a canine companion. He is not all that playful. He would love to be doted on and receive all of your attention. He is a pretty low maintenance dog with a good attitude.The Adoption Fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea, Tick and Heartworm Treatment and Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. Tanner's adoption fee (if picked up locally in Crossville, Tennessee) is $225. If transport is needed, his adoption fee is $525 (out of state, East Coast, Great Lakes or New England regions).Thank You for Your Interest in Adopting a Canine Companion from Foccas-tn.org!To Apply Please Copy and Paste to Your Browser:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=hb2428&method=online_form_html&formid=41LOCATED IN CROSSVILLE, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, TN.

Story
PUMPKIN IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!    Pumpkin is a big, beautiful Mastiff mix who is about one year old and weighs around 115 pounds. She’s a loving, playful girl who enjoys treats and spending time outside. Pumpkin can be a little shy at first, so her adopters will need to be patient and give her time to feel comfortable. Once she warms up, she’s incredibly sweet and affectionate. She is crate trained and housebroken, and she walks well on a leash. Pumpkin enjoys walks around the neighborhood and trips to the park. After a day of fun, she’s happiest snuggling on the couch with her people. Despite her big size, Pumpkin is calm, quiet, and gentle — the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal and loving friend. She is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Pumpkin up north to her new family. You can apply to adopt her today!     If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Pumpkin here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

Story
Rufio is a gentle soul. He is a little shy and more on the quiet side. He does good with other dogs, even small ones.I just can’t say enough sweet things about this pup. He is good in a car and is learning the leash. It takes a little while for him to trust new people, but once he does, his goofy and sweet personality shines!Rufio is medium energy and would do great with any family with a little patience. Rufio is not completely potty trained. He still marks in the house but is working on that.Located in Houston, Tx. Transport to most states available for an additional fee of $300.

Story
Welcome Pocket to CCPAL Rescue. Pocket is a 4.5 month old Mastiff/Great Pyrenees. Pocket is extremely affectionate and stunningly beautiful. This whole litter is soft, cuddly and affectionate. Pocket would be great with a family with children. This dog has guardian breed, and would be a great family dog. She would be wonderful for a family with a dad that travels and wants to see his family has a dog that will watch out for them. Yeti went to a family with younger children and he is doing great. This is Pocket’s brother. We prefer children to be 8 or older. She should be 60 pounds full grown. She likes water, decent on a leash and area trained. She will go on a potty pad. She is good with other dogs bigger than herself. Her dad is a Dogo and mom is a Great Pyrenees. She is energetic but can calm down and be extremely cuddly and affectionate. She has a soft coat and not a huge shedding dog. She has shorter hair a little more like the DOGO dad. This breed is a guardian breed family even though she shows no signs of guarding anything at the moment. She is getting his vaccinations and will be ready for her forever home soon. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont and all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. This is a very desirable breed. Please be patient when you put in your application. We are being very careful in vetting people and we are a small group of volunteers. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.
