Story
This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation FREE if picked up in TN, $100 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Mei is the kind of dog who bounces into your day with pure joy and a big smile that makes everything feel lighter. She is a happy-go-lucky sweetheart with a playful spark, the perfect mix of medium-high energy when the toys come out and soft cuddles when she’s ready to settle in. She is a natural comedian. Mei gives full body hugs, showers you with kisses and chases her toys with so much enthusiasm that she sometimes tosses them for herself. At about 2 years old and 45 pounds, she is a charming mystery mix with perky ears, a chocolate and tan coat and a stocky little frame that only adds to her character. She might have a hint of Doberman, maybe some Australian Kelpie and some Pit Bull Terrier. Mei already knows how to sit for a treat and she learns quickly. She is doing well with housetraining when kept on a routine and she trots happily into her crate for a treat, settling after a little whine. She loves to zoom around the yard and will play fetch for as long as you want. If you love watching a dog light up with pure joy, she is your girl. Mei does have food allergies and needs to stay on a hydrolyzed protein prescription diet. When she arrived she had no fur and was miserable, but with proper care she has blossomed into a shiny, happy pup. She will need to stay on her special diet to keep feeling her best. She gets along well with friendly, submissive dogs, seems neutral with cats and enjoys every person she meets. She rides well in the car and would benefit from a fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and enjoy her zoomies. After a tough start in life, Mei is more than ready for the fairy tale ending she deserves. If you think you might be her match, reach out to us for more information.    Interested in adopting?

THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide.

Story
COURTESY LISTINGKalina is a courtesy listing, not in the AARF foster program, and we are posting online to help the owner find a home for them. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Meet Kalina Kalina's story started almost two years ago when she walked into our lives—literally. We had stopped for coffee when a very pregnant stray dog approached us. After confirming she didn't belong to anyone, we brought her home. A few weeks later, she gave birth to a beautiful litter of puppies. We were fortunate enough to find loving homes for every one of them. Now it's Kalina's turn. Kalina is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. She has a way of looking at you with an unmistakable "I love you" stare that melts your heart. She is house-trained, well-behaved, and happiest when she's by your side. Whether it's a quick errand or an overnight road trip, Kalina is always ready to go along for the adventure. She loves to play fetch and will happily chase a ball, leaping and twirling through the air to catch it. She has a playful spirit and a joyful personality that shines through every day. Like any dog, she has a few quirks. Food left unattended is considered fair game in Kalina's world, so you'll want to keep snacks out of reach. She is also very protective of her home and property. While she can be reactive toward other dogs, she is incredibly friendly with people when out in public. Because of this, she would do best as the only dog in the household, though she may potentially accept a puppy if introduced while it's very young. We are unsure of her history, but she carries a scar above her right eye, and some of her front teeth are broken. Neither has diminished her loving nature or her zest for life. If anything, they've only made her story more remarkable. Kalina deserves a home where she can be someone's loyal companion, get plenty of attention, and enjoy all the adventures she loves. If you're looking for a devoted best friend who will love you with her whole heart, Kalina may be the perfect match.   Interested in adopting?
