Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Searching for a Forever Foster HomeMeet Zeus Zeus has overcome more challenges than any dog should ever face. He arrived at Proverbs with significant orthopedic issues, and despite extensive veterinary care, his “good” leg will likely never be strong enough to support him fully. Amputation isn’t an option, and he will require lifelong medical monitoring and care. He will also be starting hydrotherapy in the Nashville area to support his comfort and mobility. Because of his medical needs, Zeus is not adoptable and will remain a local forever foster, meaning Proverbs will cover all of his medical care for the rest of his life at Proverbs primary vet. What Zeus needs most now is a loving, stable foster home where he can feel safe and cherished. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 About Zeus • Friendly with all people — he loves everyone he meets • Excellent car rider — relaxed, happy, and easy to transport • House- and crate-trained • Dog selective — likely due to being unable to physically defend himself; he may react to dogs that bark at him but does well with calmer dogs in his current foster home • No cats — Zeus has a prey drive and needs a feline-free home • Uses a mobility cart to get around • Sweet, gentle, and incredibly resilient What Zeus Needs A calm, compassionate home willing to provide daily love, stability, and companionship. Proverbs will take care of the vet bills — you provide the heart and the home. If you’re local to Middle Tennessee and feel called to help a dog who truly deserves comfort, safety, and unwavering love, Zeus may be the perfect match for you.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 11, 2025, 10:38 pm

Smarty Marty is just that...one SMART girl!!! She was found just broken and defeated. Didn't trust the people who were trying to help her because people are who hurt her and neglected her ;( Smarty's foster mom and savior says, "It's hard to post and talk about her without tearing up because I'm just in such awww of how far she has come. A whole village stepped up to get her here and I want to thank them all." She found her HERO and now is ready for the family who will love her for WHO SHE IS FOREVER!! She will require long term allergy meds and a prescription diet plus a special adopter who is willing to work with a RESCUED dog. Patience is a must for a dog who we don't know where she came from and don't know what she went through. Good with other dogs Playful but can be rough so best no small children Good with cats but allergic to cat dander 🫤 Puppy pad trained Loves her kennel Loves to snuggle LOVES YOU!!! Adopt her soon!!! Be a PART of her NEXT BEST CHAPTER!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Goliath is a stunning sleek boy! He turns heads and melts your heart with his big pittie smile! He LOVES people! Maybe a little too much. Some days this big 50 pound love bug still thinks hes a 10 pound puppy and wants to sit in our lap! Goliath would do best in a home that has older children as he still doesn't realize how big he is as he is still full of his puppy energy. He would never hurt anyone! He just doesn't realize how big he is and can easily knock down littles. He knows basic command and is house trained and crate trained. He gets along with other dogs but tends to play on the more energetic side, so other large dogs are best for him. He has a big big heart and will be someone's best buddy on the road, hiking/fishing/camping/running buddy. A good pittie is a TIRED pittie :) And Goliath is a GOOD PITTIE :) Local adoption fee $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area) $50 temporary fuel surcharge

These pups are in Columbia, Tennessee too!
