Story
Meet Coquette, a truly special senior lady with a heart of gold who deserves the best rest of her life. This little sweetheart was recently rescued from a difficult hoarding situation, and while her past hasn't been easy, she's ready to embrace a future filled with love, comfort, and kindness. Coquette is proof that even after a rough start, a good soul shines through! Despite her previous lack of care, socialization, and training, she is inherently a small, sweet, and friendly dog. She is navigating the big, new world with a gentle curiosity and has already shown how adaptable and loving she is. She has done wonderfully with everyone she's met, including dogs, cats, and children. Coquette and the other "old gals" from her situation are truly just looking for one thing: a patient, understanding, and gentle home to call their own. They might need a little extra grace and time to decompress and learn what it means to be a cherished family pet, but their gratitude will be endless. If you have a comfy couch, an open heart, and are ready to give a sweet senior babe the peaceful, loving retirement she's always deserved, Coquette will be forever grateful!

Good with dogs, Needs special attention,
Story
Charlie is a very sweet little guy who came to us after his family was in a fire. After having some initial bloodwork done at intake we discovered that his liver enzymes were very high. After seeing a specialist and getting some additional testing done we are sad to report that Charlie does have Autoimmune Hepatitis which does give him sadly only about 6-12 months left with us. He does have a temp foster but we are looking for an end of life foster or adopter for after the new year. He is a very sweet guy and we are so sad that this is his prognosis.December 23, 2025, 11:22 am

Camden, TN

Story
Neko needs a quiet home where he can sit near you and enjoy your company. He is very sweet, although not great with children. He has been through a lot in his life and is looking forward to a home that is quiet, gentle and allows him to just be. He shares a cabin with a girl named Honey and they have helped each other heal. We hope they can be adopted together and continue their bond. They both enjoy running around a fenced in yard and spending time on their patio then snuggling up next to their human. Neko doesn't like to be fussed over so we do need to have him sedated in order to have him bathed and groomed.
