Story
Keyoko is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She had been living a good life until her owner died and she - and her buddy Zeus - suddenly found themselves at the shelter with nowhere to go. One of our wonderful fosters has agreed to take both of them in until we can find their new forever homes. In addition, a kind supporter has sponsored part of her adoption fee to help her get settled soon. At 8yrs old, Keyoko is still playful and loves to cuddle with her people. She is looking for a safe and loving home. If you think that could be yours, click on the big black button marked "Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. This dog is being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
Miller is a sweet and playful boy looking for his forever home. His ideal day includes playtime with his favorite stuffies, rolling in dry grass and bushes on a long walk, and a car ride to the nearest drive-thru coffee shop for a pup cup. Miller does great on a leash, but we are still working on some manners when we walk by other dogs and people because he wants to be EVERYONES best friend! Miller loves meeting new people and guests, he treats everyone he meets like he has known them for life. Miller is making good improvements in crate and house training and these skills should continue to improve when he is adopted. He is not very food motivated, but will beg for ice cubes every time you open the freezer door. Miller is truly a versatile dog, whether you want a hiking buddy or a couch potato. Apply to adopt your new best friend today!

Story
CHINA- 5-6 Years Old, House Trained, Skin Issues, Good with Older Kids & Dogs.    China was surrendered due to no fault of her own.  China does have some skin issues and fur loss as you can see, which we are checking out here with our vet. She was able to roam free in the home with no issues. She is said to enjoy balls, frisbees, plush squeaky toys, and tug toys, super playful girl!  She has been known to escape her yard a few times, so we recommend a privacy fence or leash walks for this adventurous girl. She is describes as very smart, friendly, loving affection. She has been friendly and playful with older kids and dogs. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 4, 2025, 10:59 am
