Story
🐾 Meet Chloe! 🐾 Hi, I’m Chloe! 💕 I’m a 4-month-old Rat Terrier with a sleek black coat, a tiny frame, and a BIG personality! 🐶✨ I’m a playful, spirited little girl who is just beginning my training journey and can’t wait to learn all the things with a family of my very own. I’m not yet spayed, so my future family will need to work with their veterinarian to schedule this important procedure when I’m old enough. ❤️ If you’re ready for puppy fun, lots of learning, and plenty of love, come meet me and see why this little terrier is so special! 🏡🐾

Story
Meet Homer! 🐾 At 4 years old and 26 pounds, Homer's a quiet, medium-energy boy who may still be discovering just how great life in a home can be. He can be a little shy at first, but he’s been good with every person and dog he’s met. He rides nicely in the car, walks well on a leash with a harness, and seems to be mostly potty trained. He’s getting used to his crate and working on basic commands, too. Toys and treats are still a bit of a mystery, but he’s quickly discovered that cheese and chicken are definitely worth getting excited about! 🧀🍗 He lights up when he sees children too! With a little patience and love, this good little boy is ready to settle in and discover all the creature comforts he may have been missing. ❤️

Story
Hi, I'm Levi and I just landed with my new foster. Unfortunately, I was given as a gift to someone who was not able to take care of me. I'm a friendly, fun little puppy with lots of energy - I like people and other dogs, and I'm young enough to learn and be a good citizen! I would do best in a home with a yard, and with folks who are willing to take time to exercise and socialize me! Puppies need a lot of attention - so if you are able to keep up with me, apply today! Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee covers; please consider making a tax-deductible donation by visiting us at https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor. Donations help us offset vetting, boarding costs, and additional medical treatments for dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at: hattonanimalrescue.org.

Story
Best friend Buddy is the total package. He loves people and greets everyone, always eager for attention.   At 12, Buddy ended up in a rural Tennessee shelter. We do not know his backstory or why such a sweet boy would land in a shelter. We may never know.     At Critter Cavalry, we adore seniors and believe they deserve every chance to find a loving home. You won’t regret considering Buddy—he loves everyone, whether human or animal. Buddy is everyone’s best friend.     Buddy is healthy for a senior. He has limited sight and hearing, but is otherwise in good shape. He navigates his foster home easily and enjoys exploring the fenced yard. He comes when called—just use a louder voice.   Buddy is ready to retire with a couple eager to add him to their family. He’d love a fenced yard to explore—size isn’t important—and an active retirement with short walks and car rides. He will be a wonderful addition to a family that matches his lifestyle.   If you want a new best friend, Buddy is perfect for you. To learn more about adopting him, contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or 615-943-7311. Approved application and adoption fee required.    August 31, 2026, 9:49 pm
