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. ❤️   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Tyke came to Bonaparte's because he had a terrible injury in his hind leg where he was shot and needed an amputation. The leg was fractured but there were also bullet fragments trying to push themselves out. Tyke has since had the amputation and healed beautifully and we have discovered what a love this guy is...truly the perfection definition of a gentle giant. He is great with cats, good with little dogs, good with kids and most people. There is a certain type of male that can trigger his anxiety so we are working on figuring out that that type is. He also does seem to have a bit of separation anxiety which can cause him to sometimes have an accident in the house but we are working on it and paper towels are his fave when his foster is gone so those would need to be out of reach-but really with how just perfect this guy is that is an easy fix in a home! Other than that he is house broken and just truly perfection! He is a strong guy on leash so be prepared for his excitement to pull you along! His fosters are also working on that!March 17, 2026, 10:33 am

Story
Meet Emily Rose Emily Rose is a 4-year-old sweetheart with a goofy personality and the best party trick — she knows how to smile on command!  This girl is equal parts fun and love, and she thrives when she’s with her person. She crates well, walks beautifully on a leash, and does great with dogs her size. Emily Rose loves adventures, exploring the world, and being included in whatever her human is doing. Because she’s a high-energy, playful girl, she would do best in a home with older kids so she doesn’t accidentally knock over little ones. She will need a cat-free home.  Dog meet & greet required — if you have other dogs at home, please bring them along to ensure the best match. If you’re looking for a happy, loyal adventure buddy with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Emily Rose might be your perfect match  ##1103492##
