Zeus is a playful 8 year old that loves to sit on your lap. He likes to go for a ride and will sit up in the seat beside you to watch everything. His owner passed away so he is kind of lost right now hoping that he finds a new home with caring loving people as soon as possible. Zeus was housebroken but could use a refresher course as his owner was very sick before passing away and was unable to take him outside for his potty breaks at times. A loving person that would put a lot of care into him would have a friend for life. If you would like to add the playful man, Zeus to your home, please respond by using the big black button marked " Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. These dogs are being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
Lily is a loving boxer/lab mix who just wants to be in a loving home and would be a great Christmas or holiday gift! Lily was rescued from an abusive situation, but is an amazing pup who just turned 1 in October. Unfortunately, I can no longer foster this super sweet, beautiful pup who just wants someone to love her. She is relatively low maintenance, but due to her prior abuse, she would do best in a stable environment where someone is typically home with her a majority of the time. She warms up most quickly with women and children, but will warm up to anyone who is kind to her. She started learning how to play with toys and is filled with so much love and has even started to become playful. She deserves a fur-ever home that can provide safety and stability for her so she can continue to thrive. Depending on when adoption may take place, I can do my best to supply as much food as possible and possibly transport. I just truly want her to find her home and family!
