Story
Rufus is a lovable 6-year-old pug mix with the sweetest soul and the perfect “let’s relax together” vibe. Life hasn’t always been easy for this handsome guy — he was injured in a car accident — but thanks to a wonderful foster home and lots of TLC, he’s healed up, feeling good, and finally ready to find his forever family. Rufus’ favorite hobbies? Soft blankets, quiet nights in, and soaking up as many cuddles as you’re willing to give. He’s calm, affectionate, and happiest just being near his people. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will happily keep you company on the couch and remind you to slow down and enjoy life, Rufus is your guy. This chunky sweetheart has so much love left to give — he just needs someone to give him the safe, cozy home he deserves.

Story
GINGER ☺️ This pretty girl has been over a year in the rescue now , Ginger is so ready for a home to call her own. At 30lbs, she's a small girl who has some pug in her! Ginger is a pretty shy girl who will need time to adjust and adapt to a new home. She's originally from a hoarding case involving 70+ dogs on one property. She's alot more used to dogs friends then human friends. She is a sweet, shy girl who does like to be pet, once she knows and trust you fully. Her confidence is alot better with other dogs around. Ginger can be quite a yappy little girl at times so I would not recommend apartment life for her Gingers new home will need to have a dog companion for her, a fenced in yard and no very young children. Gingers adoption fee is waived to a perfect home. Location Cosby Tennessee 📌 We'd love to have you come meet Ginger

Story
Maudie is the sweetest little peach of a 10 year old English bulldog. She loves everyone and is a very laid back and unbothered little lady. She will require a meet and greet with any other household dogs as, sometimes for whatever reason, they may not like her. She is partially blind, but gets around great! And has some hearing issues, but that hasn’t been causing her any trouble. She had a very rough past and is currently in treatment for her skin/allergies. She’s very low energy, but loves a meander outside. She does need to be leashed or in a fenced in area outside, for safety, as she can’t always hear you try to call her back. She loves to sleep on the bed and on the couches, but usually requires a little help to get up there. She loves snuggling and burying herself in blankets. She requires a bulldog experienced adopter as she may continue to need special food, possible medication for allergies etc, and regular tail pocket and ear cleanings.
