Story

I adopted Bo from the local shelter in January 2025 as a pup.He was born in November 2024. He's so fun and energetic and has so much love to give. He loves to run and play outside and loves to go hiking and on runs and walks. I have had him inside some and he made decent progress on potty training. He is mainly an outside doggie except for when there’s bad weather, he stayed in the garage. He stays in my fenced backyard mostly and occasionally he comes inside for an hour or so. He will sit on command. Bo would be best with a family or person who could give him more attention and be active with him. He deserves it. I think he would do best with teens/older children who want to run and play outside or an adult who enjoys running outside. Please only respond if you would seriously give Bo lots of love and attention. He hasn't ever shown any aggression towards people but is very protective and will bark and alert you if someone comes on your property he isn't familiar with.

Story

URGENT: Cash Needs a Safe Haven by May 15th Cash is a beautiful 6-year-old, 55-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who has spent his entire life as a deeply loved family companion. Now, through no fault of his own, he is facing a critical deadline to find a new home—or even a foster—by May 15th. Cash has always had a sensitive, gentle nature. While he has thrived in a calm and predictable home, recent changes have been overwhelming for him. The addition of a baby who is now a busy, walking toddler has brought constant movement, noise, and unpredictability into his world. For a dog who depends on peace and routine to feel secure, it has simply become too much. Cash isn’t acting out—he’s anxious and no longer feels that sense of safety in the place he once called home. Despite this, Cash is an incredibly loving dog. He is a true snuggler and a couch companion who finds joy in being close to his people. He loves human connection and does well playing with other dogs, making him an easy and rewarding addition to the right home. What he needs now is a quieter environment, ideally with older children or adults, where he can relax, rebuild his confidence, and feel at peace again. His family loves him deeply, and this decision is heartbreaking, but they know it is what’s best for him. They want Cash to have the chance to truly thrive in a home that fits his needs. Even a foster home would be a lifesaving solution while a permanent home is found. Time is critical. Cash must have a place to go by May 15th. There are no other options. If you can help give Cash the calm, safe space he so desperately needs, please reach out right away at ccrtennessee@gmail.com or text 615-661-5333. Please share—his second chance could be just one person away. â¤ï¸ ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.May 18, 2026, 4:36 pm

Story

Mabel is an approx. 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who weighs approx. 60 lbs. She is a strong, dominant woman who does not take crap from anyone — including her husband Larry or his best bud Teddy. Equal-opportunity accountability. Mabel is also very quick to talk smack to other dogs as they walk by. Loud opinions. Zero hesitation. She is full of herself, and honestly? She’s earned it. She’s a gorgeous girl and she knows exactly what she brings to the table. Larry and Mabel are a bonded pair, no negotiations. They met in boarding after being rescued a few months apart, and somehow it was fate. He’s the Ricky to her Lucy. She’s prim, proper, and runs a tight ship. He’s the “I’ll chew your ear off while we walk through Home Depot because I love you so much” kind of guy. Together, they are perfection. They both adore people and will greet you with enthusiastic teeth kisses. Larry is also exceptionally skilled at turning himself into a bowling ball and knocking down the pins — and yes, the pin is you. You’ve been warned. 🥴 Mabel and Larry cannot go to a home with other animals, but trust us when we say this: the two of them are more than enough. Entertainment, companionship, chaos, and love — all included. Mabel is heartworm positive and currently on the slow-kill method. She will need to continue heartworm protection throughout her life.
