Story
Matilda...😢 Poor girl has a sad story. She was a stray for an unknown time. No one could catch her, so she just was left to her own means. We believe she was on her own for months on end, basically growing up in the wilderness. She was finally caught by animal control. It was quickly apparent that she was an extremely shut down dog, just a baby around 9 months old. We have had her in the rescue for several months now. She has made little improvement. Shes rather damaged to the point of feral. 🙏🏻 We are looking for that MIRACLE for her, we know they exist. We believe she could learn how to be a dog in the right setting. When alone, you can often catch her playing with toys and romping around. She is just so fearful of humans. If you think you could be her saving grace please apply for adoption or even to foster - www.Canineliberationleague.com Canineliberationleague@gmail.com We believe Matilda to be a Rat Terrier, she weighs 20-25lbs, just over a year old. She will need a VERY

Story
This little 10 lb., 9-month-old cutie is a true testament to resilience. Mika and her two sisters were left in a drop box at a New Mexico animal shelter before a kind long-distance trucker transported them cross-country to the safety of New Rattitude. While her first six months left her frightened and wary of people (likely due to lack of socialization), day by day, Mika is letting her bravery shine! Mika's incredible transformation—from a terrified rescue to a happy, confident puppy—is beautifully documented in her photo album here:  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/mika   Mika is actively learning to trust and love! She now eagerly initiates touch and play with all three members of her foster family. While she isn't quite ready to be picked up yet, she happily accepts full-body pets. She is also making fantastic strides with house-training; while she used to rely entirely on potty pads out of fear, she now loves going outside and rarely has a daily accident. The crate is still slightly suspicious to her, but she eats meals in the crate and sometimes voluntarily chooses to spend some time relaxing there. At night, she chooses to sleep in a dog bed in a room by herself but she is overjoyed to see her human and canine friends in the morning! Because Mika is still building her confidence and learning how to be a regular dog, she needs a specific environment to help her thrive: A securely fenced yard: Leash training is still a work in progress, so a secure yard is required for her to safely run, play, and do her business. A confident canine guide: Mika requires a home with at least one other small, confident dog who can model good behavior and be a fun playmate. An adult-focused home: Due to her startle reflex, a home without small children (and their quick, unpredictable movements) is best. Patience and love: An understanding family who views training challenges as bonding opportunities. With every small victory, you'll know exactly what a profound difference you're making in Mika's life. Your heart will burst with pride the first time she looks to you for reassurance and conquers a fear. If you are ready for the deeply rewarding journey of unlocking this sweet girl's full potential, Mika is ready to become your loyal best friend!

NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.August 9, 2026, 8:49 am

Story
LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY. Peabody is a 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix (we think). He was pulled into our rescue from an over-crowded, rural, KY shelter because he was not tolerating the environment well and was shut down. He was terrified when first arriving at his fosters home. It took time…but not much. We have video evidence that he is a Velcro mix. He likes dogs about his size, but gets passive-aggressive with bigger dogs. Meaning he runs his mouth. He would have no problem with another, playful dog or being the one-and-only. He likes to watch TV on the couch, beside you, with his eyes closed. He will be the big spoon every night and knows how to fit perfectly into the small of your back. Peabody will likely need the expected 3 days to decompress in a new environment. But once he has stopped fretting, he’ll be melting like butter in your lap. We think Peabody needs to find that doesn’t require transport, so applications must be local to TN. I need to be adopted in Crossville, Tennessee. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. FOCCAS does not DNA test or guarantee breed. Peabody's adoption fee is $300.If transport is needed, there are additional fees to cover department of agriculture requirements and transport, the additional fee adds $300 to the adoption fee (any location out of Tennessee, 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.
