Story
Iris (Wrinkles, Wiggles & Zero Filter) 💕🐾 Gorgeous Iris is 2 years old and a full-blown lovebug. Yes, her adorable wrinkly face will stop you in your tracks — but somehow her personality is even better. She absolutely loves people and meeting new ones. Strangers? Never heard of them. Friends she just hasn’t kissed yet? Absolutely. Speaking of kisses… Iris will smother you with them whether you asked for it or not, so you should probably just be prepared to enjoy it. She is fully convinced she’s a lap dog and expects to be treated as such. Iris also wants to be your number one and only, which means she’s happiest in a home without other animals. According to Iris, sharing attention is unnecessary and frankly offensive — and we respect her honesty. This girl LOVES to talk. She has the cutest little raspy voice and will happily voice her opinions on just about everything. Late letting her outside? You’ll hear about it. Late with breakfast? Definitely hearing about it. Giving another dog attention (even on TV)? Oh yes… she has thoughts. Iris is high-energy, affectionate, hilarious, and full of life. We know her perfect family is out there and that when they find her, it’s going to be a perfect match. Important note: Iris is heartworm positive and currently on the slow-kill method, as she is not a fan of being confined to strict bed rest. She’s doing great and living her best energetic life. 📍 Located in Cleveland, TN 🚗 Transport available to other states 💲 Adoption fee: $150 If you’re looking for a dog who will love you fiercely, talk to you constantly, and keep life entertaining — Iris is ready to be your one and only. 💖🐶

Story
Meet Pugsley! Pugsley is a 2-year-old bulldog/terrier mix bursting with charm, goofy energy, and an endless capacity for love. He’s the perfect match for an active family looking for a fun-loving, kid-friendly companion who thrives on adventure and connection. Pugsley is the ideal blend of playful enthusiasm and affectionate sweetness. He loves to run, play, and explore—whether he’s romping in the yard, joining you for long walks, or splashing in the water, one of his all-time favorite activities. He walks beautifully on a leash and brings enthusiasm to every outing, making him a wonderful walking or hiking buddy. At home, Pugsley is a delightful goofball. He’ll do an “alligator chomp” in the air to get your attention, spook himself with a trash bag blowing across the yard, or curl up next to you in the funniest positions. He is good with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having canine companions to play and relax with. Pugsley is incredibly loving and people-oriented. He’s fantastic with kids of all ages and quickly becomes a family favorite. He crates easily when no one is home and does best in a household with a yard and, ideally, another dog buddy. He would love to have a family that is home alot if he is the only dog. He is also cat friendly but may try to play with them. Pugsley is currently being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX. He gets anxious with car rides so he is available in Texas only. He loves sleeping in a bed with his family and sleeps soundly through the night. His quirks—like sleeping with his tongue sticking out and snoring softly—only make him more endearing. If you're seeking a joyful, affectionate, water-loving dog with tons of personality, Pugsley is ready to win your heart. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Story
Meet Matilda – A Gentle, Devoted Companion Who Thrives on Love Matilda is a calm, affectionate rescue dog with a heart full of devotion and an incredible love for her people. She is fully potty trained and wonderfully well-mannered in the home. Matilda uses a doggy door with ease and remains very calm indoors, making her a peaceful and comforting presence in daily life. At bedtime, Matilda settles in beautifully. She willingly goes to sleep in a kennel and sleeps through the night without a single whine, showing how adaptable and trusting she is. In a home environment, she is not destructive and does well when left alone, patiently waiting for her people to return. Matilda rides well tethered in the car with no car sickness and enjoys being included in outings. She loves people of all ages and forms deep bonds quickly. True to her loyal nature, she follows her favorite humans from room to room and will quietly sit outside a closed door just to remain close. She gets along well with other dogs and does not initiate play, but coexists peacefully. Matilda would be perfectly happy as an only dog—not because she isn’t social, but because she truly loves attention. Extremely affectionate, she adores snuggling and sleeps contentedly on a bed beside her family. She also loves toys and enjoys having something to play with or cuddle. Another favorite of Matilda’s is water—she delights in splashing, wading, and spending time near it whenever she can. Matilda has a gentle curiosity about the world around her. If something interesting is on the other side of a fence, she may dig to investigate. At her foster family’s home, she loved to quietly mingle with the deer nearby. She never chased or tried to harm them and would patiently sit and watch, even waiting for them when they weren’t around. Matilda’s ideal home is with a person or family who is home most of the time. Confident, people-focused, and loving, she would also do well at social gatherings and out in public. This sweet girl is being fostered in Seguin, TX, where she’s getting all the care she needs. She is spayed, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on regular flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. For the right family, Matilda can be transported to the Northeast or the Pacific Northwest to start her forever life. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Meet Sweety Pie! 🌺 This girl lives up to her name. She’s easy going, laid back, and ready to find her retirement home. She appreciates the finer things in life like long naps and good snacks. She is potty trained and crate trained. She came to us with an injury to her throat. When she gets excited, she has a little wheeze. It doesn’t hurt her though! She is great with other calm dogs and amazing with children. She would make an excellent companion for someone that would rather watch Netflix than hike the Appalachian Trail. She just asks that you share your popcorn on movie night. We would love for you to meet her!

Story
Big Man is here to steal your heart—and maybe your spot on the couch. He is a certified lover boy with a *huge* personality and an even bigger heart. He’s the kind of dog who walks into a room and instantly becomes the star of the show. But behind that big smile is a story of incredible resilience. he came to us from a heartbreaking situation—he had been attacked by another dog and left without medical care because his owner refused. By the time we rescued him, he was clinging to life with a severe infection. He’s bursting with love, affection, and a desire to be someone's shadow (and personal entertainer). He gets along great with female dogs, but he’d prefer to be the only *gentleman* in the house—Titus likes to keep the title of Big Man all to himself! If you're looking for a dog with character, charm, and a comeback story that’ll leave you inspired—Big Man is your guy.
