Story
They call me Exuberant, Handsome and Sweet but you can choose a new name for me when we adopt each other. I don’t care what you call me, as long as you call me. I’m a happy dog who loves people more than anything else in the world. I’m a 6 year old mix, with a 22” collar and am very big and strong. The Vet said I weigh 73 pounds. Don’t let that scare you because I am just a mushy ball of love. I like to let everyone know how happy I am to see them by twirling around and wagging my tail as fast as it will go. This is usually when they call me Exuberant. I like to have fun. I’m such a good boy and I have good potty manners. I prefer being inside with people at night especially. Since I have a lot of energy and need exercise, your large fenced yard will be well-used. My foster peeps say I need a family, not a job. They know that I’m a quick learner and will be someone’s best dog ever. Because I’m big and young at heart, my new humans should have some experience with dogs and be able to work with someone of my stature. I promise I will try to do everything you ask enthusiastically. I don’t like loud booming noises (fireworks or dynamite) or gunfire but neither do most of my friends. Health wise, I am terrific; up to date on shots and tested negative for heartworms. Foster peeps say it means I will get my forever home very soon! Maybe it’s yours! 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
Iverson is a one-of-a-kind dog bursting with energy and love. She’s looking for an active home where she can join in on adventures, hikes, and plenty of playtime. She’d do best with older children who can match her playful spirit. Iverson prefers to be the only pet—she wants all the attention for herself! Ivy originally came to us after living in an outdoor pen, and had suffered quite the set of bite wounds on her neck which were made worse by the rubbing of a dirty chain. We think her selective dog reactivity is likely due to being attacked by a dog in her past life. If you're ready for a lively, loyal companion, Iverson is waiting to bring endless joy and excitement into your life!

Story
From Hefner's previous owner: Hefner has been one of the sweetest dogs you can ask for. Since the since the day we got him he has been a cuddle bomb and takes every opportunity to crawl into your lap. He does so by placing his big pittie head first then slithering the rest of his body after. He likes to lay down with his head on your chest as close to you as possible. He also loves to give kisses on your face. He is never sure if he is allowed on couches or the bed and will wait until he is asked. As he sleeps, he will either be the tiniest of beans or when he gets comfortable he will stretch out with his belly up and one paw in the air ready to ask a question or give a high five. If you sit in a chair for a while he will hang out with his head in your lap. He is one of those dogs who is happy to be with you no matter what. Hefner loves toys and to play tug. He is gentle with people. He learned about fetch and became pretty good at bringing the ball back. He is so fast and does a funny hop bounce if he wants to play. Hefner is curious and will tilt his head to one side at anything he doesn’t understand. He is also super smart and very trainable. He walks well on leash and can sit and speak—sometimes he will do both hoping for a treat. He will come when called or whistled for (this needs practice still but he has been doing really well). He loves food. When he gets food in his bowl he runs as fast as he can and does a spin move to make sure you are still behind him before he goes in his crate to eat. He is crate trained and hangs out in there pretty well, if he can hear you though he will make noise. A fenced yard would make him the happiest. He hates baths but won't fight you over them, he'll just look at you sadly until you dry him off. He loves a car ride and is always excited to load up and go somewhere. He is a really good dog he needs someone to match his high energy and someone who can afford the meds he needs to stay happy and healthy. He is a couch potato who also loves to run around, and then come home and snuggle up on the couch. We really hope someone can give him a better quality of life than we were able to.

Story
Hi, my name is Pongo! I can be a little bit of an anxious boy, but once I warm up to you, I will never leave your side. Kennel staff suspects that I was mistreated in the past, which has made me very fearful of men when I first meet them. With time, I can come around to men, and I love the male kennel staff who take care of me, but I may need a couple of introductions to see that you are okay! I am a sweet, well-behaved boy who does great on leash (I just want to be by your side). Come and meet me today!

Livie is an energetic, playful pit bull mix who keeps everyone smiling with her goofy personality. She’s the kind of dog who throws herself into everything she does: running, playing, learning, or just being silly. And when she’s not busy having fun, she’s incredibly sweet and loves being close to people. The kennel staff adore her and say she brings a little extra brightness to their day. Livie would do great in an active home where she can burn off some energy, get lots of attention, and just be her happy self. If you’re looking for a fun, loving dog who will make you laugh every single day, Livie might be the perfect match.
