Story
I 1st got him at 4 months old. He was so scared coming to his new home. It took him about few days to get use to us. He still act a little scared and shy when it comes to eating. He likes to be alone while he eats cause he’s very picky. He’s very active, super fast runner and love to play in the snow. He just turned a yr old a couple months ago. He’s very very smart and mannered. Crate and house trained. He can be a little over protective but he has NEVER bitten anyone. He’s very sweet and loving once he gets used to you. Im looking for him a new home due to new born baby and trying to attend to both is quite a handful. He needs someone who’s willing to show him love and attention as much as we did. Please be in Chattanooga area or close by because I can’t travel far with a 4 mos old baby right now. Thank you so much

Story
Meet Patrick! Patrick is an adorable, playful Jack Russell mix puppy with a heart full of love and a spirit that never quits. He’s the kind of little guy who greets every day like it’s a new adventure—and he hopes one of those adventures leads him to a forever family. Patrick loves other dogs, especially fellow Jack Russells, and his biggest wish is to have a JRT sibling to run, wrestle, and zoom around with. We’re hoping we can make that wish come true just in time for the holidays. He is fully vetted, 5 lbs, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccines and preventions—ready to join his perfect match as soon as they find him. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and energetic companion—and maybe your current Jack Russell is looking for a best friend—Patrick might be the perfect fit. Help us find this sweet boy the home he dreams of! ##2579091##

Story
Introducing River… our long, lean, goofy 15 lb dreamboat! Meet River, approximately 2 years old and 100% certified silly boy. He’s got that stretch-limousine body (you know the kind—long enough to need its own zip code ) and a playful personality to match. River is the kind of dog who thinks everyone is his friend… because, honestly, everyone is his friend. River’s story started on River Road, where he was sadly dumped and spent about a week running loose. For his safety, we had to humanely trap him, and we are so incredibly grateful that we were able to bring him to safety. Now that River is safe, loved, and thriving, he’s officially on the hunt for his forever home River comes fully loaded with perks: Heartworm negative Neutered Microchipped Current on vaccines & preventions AND he comes with a GeoTag — because even his adventures deserve extra protection. If you’re looking for a happy, goofy, loving companion with a long body and an even bigger heart, River might just be your guy. ##2621432##
