Story
Sweet Dixie was a adopted a couple of years ago to a very sweet lady in New Jersey. Sadly she unexpectedly passed away a couple of months ago and as she had no family, Dixie came back to us. She has adjusted very nicely but she needs to have a family of her own. Dixie was a street dog back in the day. She came to us with a litter of pups who were born under a trailer. She was a great mama and she was very thankful to have a stable home. She is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, crate trained and ready for immediate transport. Wouldn't you love to give her a forever home! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $350

Story
This sweet pooch needs a home. Her name is Dottie. She’s great with children, house broken and spayed. A few months ago my father-in-law found her roaming his property in the country. He figured she would find her way home, but every day he returned she was there waiting for him🥹. After a few weeks of this, we realized maybe her previous owner had dropped her off. Before the first freeze, we decided to take her in and foster her until we could find her a permanent home. She loves belly rubs, she’s very affectionate and she loves to snuggle.

Story
Meet Bastian, who is primarily white with one brown spot in the middle of his back and some small spots on his pronounced ears. He has short, squat legs, but loves to run in the yard and investigate his surroundings. He enjoys initiating play with the fosters' big dogs, and takes their correction well. He is potty trained ,doggy door trained, and fixed. He takes his meals in a crate, waits patiently to be released, and will snooze there from time to time.  He does bark, as expected for a Jack Russell, but primarily when startled or someone new comes in, and settles quickly. During the day, he occupies himself with the other dogs and toys, and has not destroyed anything more than a paper towel or doggy pad, though has been seen carrying socks or slippers around. He would do best in a less active home with no toddlers, or children under 10. Bastian is slow to warm up, so patience will be paramount in his continued training and development.   Bastian is ready to go to a fur-ever home and his adoption fee will be $350, with an additional $20 one time microchip registration fee ($370 total).  ##1395737##

Story
Scrappy here, and I'm ready to play! I'm a spunky Jack Russell and I could play all day! I'm looking for a home where I can go for runs and get my energy out. I can be a bit shy at first, so I would ask that all kiddos in the home be 6 or older. I like to scream and make a lot of noise as well, so I require a single family home. I'd also like to meet any doggie playmates before going home so we can ensure that we'll be friends! If you're looking for a jogging buddy who can wear you out, look no further than me, Scrappy! If you're interested in taking me home, ask a Kennel Technician
