Story
Pax came to us from a multiple-dog family, so he is good with other dogs. He's also great with the children in his foster home. He's looking for a forever home . . . how about yours? He is food motivated and an enthusiastic student when training. He rides comfortably in a car, is house trained, crate trained and leash trained. He has been surrounded by a loving foster family but his public exposure has been limited. Obedience classes would be great once he's comfortable in a new environment. They would reinforce the training he's had, and would widen his world, showing him unknown humans are a source of positive attention and rewards. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. FOCCAS does not DNA test or guarantee breed. My adoption fee (if picked up locally in Crossville, Tennessee) is $225. If transport is needed, my adoption fee is $525 (out of state, East Coast, Great Lakes or New England regions). Thank You for Your Interest in Adopting a Canine Companion from Foccas-tn.org!

Story
Kimchi came to us when his owner went to prison. He was a very confused boy at first, but is now excited and fun! Kimchi loves toys! Stuffies, things with squeekers, chew bones, he loves them all! Kimchi would love an intimate household, with one or two people he could shower with love. He does well in his kennel, and loves yard time. Kimchi is pretty potty trained. Kimchi is available as a foster-to-adopt placement, and his adoption fee is also sponsored! Apply through our website: rebeldogsdetroit.com/applytoadopt

Story
Meet Oliver Oliver’s story is one of both heartbreak and hope. He came to us as a tiny puppy, chained up in a backyard, waiting for someone to see his worth. And when that day finally came, he was adopted into a family who loved him deeply. For a year, Oliver had what every dog dreams of — a home, a person to call his own, a place where he was safe. But sometimes, love alone isn’t enough. Oliver struggled to get along with the male dog in the home, and through no fault of his own, he was returned. Now at two and a half years old, this big, handsome American Bulldog mix is back with us, still carrying the same open heart he’s always had, still ready to give his love to someone who will be his forever. Oliver is a total cuddlebug. He wants nothing more than to be near his people, whether that means curling up at your feet, following you from room to room, or leaning into you for comfort and connection. He is silly, sweet, and so full of love — the kind of dog who just wants to be your shadow and your best friend. What Oliver needs is simple: a person or family who believes in him, who will give him the structure and affection he craves. He would thrive as the only dog in the home, but could also do well with a gentle, non-dominant female dog. Above all, he needs someone who will see him for what he is — a loyal, loving soul who’s just waiting for the chance to bloom in the right home. Oliver has already lost so much, but he hasn’t lost his ability to trust, or his hope that the right person is out there. If you give him that chance, he’ll give you his whole heart in return. Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.

Story
Meet Pretzel – Twisted by Hardship, But Still Sweet at the Center Not long ago, Pretzel was surviving the only way he knew how—emaciated, scared, and scavenging for scraps in a world that had forgotten him. He was found eating a dead bird just to stay alive. But even in that moment, there was a flicker of hope in his eyes—and that’s when everything changed. Since then, Pretzel has been recovering in a loving foster home, slowly untangling from the fear and hunger that once defined his days. Now he’s looking for a new place to continue his journey—his current foster, though heartbroken, can no longer keep him due to severe allergies. Pretzel is the kind of dog who wraps himself around your heart and doesn’t let go. He’s a soft, gentle, affectionate soul who just wants to be near his people—his “Velcro dog” tendencies are part of his charm. He’s crate trained, quiet, smart, and incredibly treat-motivated. He’s working hard on his potty training (belly bands help for now) and getting better every day on leash and with his anxiety. He’s great with kids, dog-social with slow, proper introductions, and absolutely adores snuggling. He sleeps soundly through the night—he finds comfort in a salt lamp, soft music, and the feeling of being safe at last. Pretzel’s perfect match? A patient home with a fenced yard, a friendly dog to learn from, and people who believe in the magic of second chances. He’s not just looking for a place to stay—he’s searching for a family who will show him that love is here to stay. Soft, sweet, and just a little bit salty—Pretzel is ready to finally feel whole. Will you be the one to help him continue his story? Adoption is $275, which includes spay/neuter at our vet, vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and clean bill of health. Although we work to potty train all of our dogs, we cannot guarantee full house training before adoption. Regression is a normal part of transitioning to a new home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Cyrus had parvo at a shelter and was scheduled to be euthanized as there was no room to isolate him. A foster was able to take him home and provide the medical care he needed. Now he has recovered completely and is ready to find his forever home. He is a burst of energy and constantly wants to play. He gets along well with the foster's dogs. He would not do well with cats. He needs an owner that is just as energetic and has time to take him places to burn off all that extra energy. He is still cautious with strangers but warms up  quickly. He does dig under the fence so he needs a highly  enforced yard or someone who can take him out on a leash. He loves to play with toys and will run around the yard with them. He loves attention and knows how to sit, lay down, and crawl. The foster is currently working on stay. If given the chance he will be your best friend! Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to    Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information.    Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in any of our animals for adoption, or to foster an animal, please fill out the respective application here to get the process started. Visit our FAQ webpage for commonly asked questions about our adoption/foster process. &#226&#128&#139Meet Meatball! Meatball is a 73-lb land hippo with a heart of gold and absolutely no concept of personal space. He is incredibly affectionate and happiest when he’s as close to his people as possible — ideally curled up in your lap, despite his very solid size. If you’re looking for a dog who truly wants to be part of everything you do, Meatball is your guy. He’s a big fan of routine and does great with a regular potty schedule. When he needs to go out, he’ll let you know by barking and then proudly escorting you to the door. Meatball loves walks, walks well on leash, and enjoys getting out to explore the neighborhood with his person. He already knows “sit” and is currently working on polishing up his “stay” and “touch.” He also takes his enrichment seriously — cardboard boxes beware, because shredding them is one of his favorite pastimes. Meatball adores people and greets everyone like an old friend. He is deeply bonded to his humans and can be sensitive when left alone, so he’s currently working through some separation anxiety with crate training and continued confidence-building. He’s making progress, but hallway noises can be tough for him, especially in an apartment setting, and he may bark when he hears unfamiliar sounds. A calmer or quieter home would help him thrive. A few things to know: Meatball is an enthusiastic food beggar, has a habit of eating his toys if given the chance, and yes — he is very gassy. Consider this part of his charm (and maybe invest in air freshener). Meatball is the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room, lean into you for affection, and make you feel truly loved. If you’re ready for a big, cuddly, devoted companion who just wants to be near his people and keep learning, Meatball is ready to meet you! &#226&#128&#139 Click here to watch a video of Meatball.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by. January 20, 2026, 11:18 am
