Story
This is our sweet precious Lucy. Lucy had an owner but her owner used to turn her out every day to wander the streets. A friend of the rescue would pick her up when she saw her and bring her home. She feared that Lucy would get hit by a car so one day when she returned her home, she asked the owners if they would surrender her to a rescue. They agreed and Lucy arrived here happy as a clam. She's a big girl, not fat, just a big girl. She's a very gentle big girl, sleeps in my bed with all the little ones sleeping on top of her! She loves children and cats. She was heart worm positive when she arrived but we have cleared all of that up. Lucy maybe a little older at 8 years but she has the energy of a puppy. She loves to play all day with the rest of the shelter dogs. She is spayed, fully vaccinated and house broken. She needs her forever home, could that be you? PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $350

Story
Even though Odie was abandoned by his previous family, he still loves people.  He gets along with other dogs and children.  He is high energy and hasn't learned to meet other dogs.  He can be a bit intimidating to other dogs.  His foster brother is a small 13 yr old rat terrier and Odie loves to sleep with him.  It takes a slow introduction for him to settle down.   If you want a hiking or camping buddy, Odie is your guy.  Playing fetch and tug are also favorite things that he likes.  He would love a family who would treat him like a family member.  .  He has already had his dental and is ready to start his new life as a family member.  If you are interested, please contact Rainbow Rescue at 757-472-1583 or rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.comApril 18, 2024, 12:14 am

Bruce is a very sweet dog! He loves people so much, even little kids and babies. He can be very lazy but enjoys running around at a dog park on a sunny day. He gets along well with other dogs of any size, however, we are unsure of his personality around cats and other animals. He enjoys chilling on the couch and watching tv with you. He doesn’t have any concerning behaviors. We hope you love Bruce as much as we do!

Story
He is a sweet dog that loves attention! He need to be the only dog in the household. He gets jealous of other dogs that get attention and can be aggressive when there is too much energy. He is well trained and obedient. He is very smart and is reluctant to follow you when he thinks you’re up to something like trying to give him a bath! He loves walks and only pulls a little bit in the leash. He plays fetch very well. He is a very good eater.
