Story
See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer * Hi, Everyone! My name is Chanel, and I’m a full-blooded blue nose pit bull. I am spayed, and I’m 7 years old. I get along with other dogs and all humans, too. I’m great around babies and toddlers. I am housetrained, and I weigh about 42 pounds. I had an accident that has made my back legs not able to work any more, but that hasn’t stopped me from being my full-of-energy self, nor from getting around. I would love to find my new forever home with someone who has the time for me and has a back yard I can wheel around in. Please call or text Holly at 865-201-9778 if you can give me that loving home. *Please be aware that this animal is a courtesy posting for the owner ONLY.

Story
Foster or Foster-to-Adopt - Freckles is a sweet, gentle soul who deserves nothing more than a warm and loving home to call her own. Sadly, her dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness and, due to his health situation, had to make the heartbreaking decision to give her up. She has been living at Little Lake Pet Lodge since early November and, while the staff adore her, she is growing increasingly stressed and anxious and wants to share her life with a person or family. Freckles is a very low-key girl who just wants to be close to someone. Her nickname, “Freckelini,” reflects her princess-like personality. She loves snuggling up with people and could spend hours in your lap, soaking up the affection. She’s also dog and kid friendly, and would enjoy the company of other pets in her new home. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives. She loves to go for leash walks and is very polite and friendly with everyone she meets on route. She is great with children too! Although she has health issues that require daily medication for epilepsy, her medication is manageable. Her food and medication will be covered by Anderson County Animal Rescue Foundation while in temporary foster home. We just want to see Freckles back in a home where she can feel safe and loved again. Her ideal forever home would be a quiet environment with a person or family who can offer her the care, attention, and affection she craves. Freckles is a true gem—everyone who meets her falls in love with her sweet demeanor and calm energy. If you’re looking for a snuggly companion who will adore you, Freckles could be the one. Let’s give her the second chance she truly deserves. Details: • Special Needs: Requires daily medication for epilepsy • Best Environment: Calm, loving home with or without other pets, children • Personality: Laid-back, affectionate, dog and kid-friendly, loves to snuggle • Expenses : Food and veterinary expenses covered while in temporary foster home. If you think you can offer Freckles the forever home she’s longing for, please reach out. She’s waiting for her person to bring her home! Please call either Little Lake Pet Lodge at 865-371-0038 or Katrina at Anderson County Animal Rescue Foundation at 865-414-2491 for more information about this sweet girl or set up a time to meet her. We’d love to share her full story. She is so very special.

Story
Blue's family is unfortunately being displaced and they cannot take him to their new place of residence. He is an absolute cuddle bug and loves all people, especially kids. He has a lot of energy, loves to play and take walks. He would be a great hiking buddy or an even better snuggle buddy! Blue gets along with other dogs, after proper introductions, but does not do well with cats. If you would like more information about Blue, or partner with us as a foster to ensure that he will have a healthy future, please message Anderson County Animal Rescue Foundation or call Katrina at 865-414-2491.

Meet Hymn! Would you like to hear the song of her people? Hymn is a silly, goofy girl once you get to know her. She likes rolling around, wiggling, and getting back scratches. Treats are appreciated, but she is particular about what she likes. She does go to moderate playgroups with other dogs, where she is social, sweet, and very tolerant. She has also been doing well with her house training. Ask to meet Hymn--I mean her--today!

Story
See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer * Meet Smokey! He is a 2 1/2-year-old mixed breed. He is neutered, heartworm-negative, up to date on vaccinations, crate-trained, and house-trained. He’s a big snuggler and can be super playful, but he doesn’t quite understand his own size! While he’s a sweetheart, Smokey has shown some aggression towards other dogs and cats, so he needs to be the only pet in his next home. We are also unsure how Smokey is with children. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s ready to give all his affection to you, Smokey might just be the perfect fit! If there’s a chance that Smokey could become your best friend, please call 865-771-6815 or email emilymcnally67@gmail.com.

Story
See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer * Roka is a 6-year-old female boxer. She is spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Roka is house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. Some of her favorite things are car rides and walks, and running around in her fenced yard and playing with toys, then lying in the sun. And peanut butter! She is so relaxed in the car that her family sometimes forgets she's there. She's very treat-motivated and will do just about anything for her favorite goodies. Roka will probably best be suited for a home with no young children, no other animals (dogs or cats), and a lovely fenced backyard. She loves to run and sunbathe when it’s warm outside! Hopefully, her sweet, silly personality will quickly win you over. She's got a lot of love to give. Here is a letter from Roka herself, telling about the things she loves (and doesn't love so much: https://shelteranimalsrescue.org/s/RefRoka2025.pdf ) Please call or text 828-403-9643, or email paigeolshefski@gmail.com for more information or to meet Roka.
