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.

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=41

Story
Picket is a sweet, lovable little guy. He weighs in at 34 lbs and is just the right size for walking. He is not high energy but enjoys long walks and then comes home for a nap or a cuddle on the couch. He loves squeaking stuffies and chewing on nylabones. He also loves to play with his foster fur siblings. He would do better with a companion dog. He is not housetrained yet but is starting to get the idea after only 2 days in his foster home. He is taken outside every 2 hours during the day and once during the night. As long as the routine is consistent, he has not had any accidents. He has been crated for up to 2 hours and has done fine. No accidents in his crate and no chewing of his bed. He is still young, so he needs to be supervised and has only chewed on his toys and treats. He is a little shy but is quick to warm up in a calm environment. He gives the best little kisses. He has not been around kids or cats. If you think Picket would make a great addition to your home, please apply.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
