Story
Hello this special dog is approximately 7 years old his owner just passed away he's was a one-person dog , does not like kids or other dogs as it makes him afraid and then he gets anxious and tends to growl out of fear , needs lots of love, wags his tail runs and plays but is an inside outside dog , loves to sleep with the owner in the bed, loves to eat while people are eating, his owner was a patient of mine and he passed away a few days ago . unfortunately we are unable to take him for a long period of time as we also have four other dogs this dog is a good old soul just needs someone to physically lean upon and understand that he is a dog that gets attached and can be protective but at the same time loves attention

Story
Looking to rehome bingo to someone who has a little more time on their hands to take care of her. She is pretty much house trained and has only had a few accidents the past year. She is crate trained and able to be in her crate comfortably. She loves playing with her toys and laying down and just chewing. She also loves any kind of chew. She can chill around. She like to lay in the kitchen while we cook and just watch. We have a mini dachshund also and she gets along with him really well. She is on Prozac to help with her anxiety but I believe she’s at a point where she can be weened off. The only thing she doesn’t like is thunder. She is 55 lbs and up to date on all her vaccines. Shes perfect if you want a playful dog. If interested send me a text at 423-285-3886

Story
He is an insanely sweet little man who came from some unfortunate circumstances. He’s the perfect weekend warrior companion, he settles in the home extremely easily but has enough energy and spunk to keep up on hikes, walk through the city, and more! He truly is a unicorn and the bestest guy. The catch, like many cattle dogs can be…. He isn’t super dog friendly and would not thrive in a multi dog household BUT is extremely neutral in almost any other scenario and does well with cats. He will come fully trained with all of his gear to get you started and with a go home lesson so you feel prepared to bring him home! If you’d like to see more pictures and videos of him feel free to check if my business Instagram @complexk9 :).

Story
Lady is a sweet loving family dog! She would be a fantastic farm dog and would love some acres to run. She was attacked by a group of larger dogs a few years ago and has an attack first personality now but with the right dog she can still make friends. She is best friends with our bulldog and usually has no problem with smaller dogs. She has been super sweet and loving with our two young children. We have never had an issue with our kids and lady. She has been nippy towards other children and for that reason we need to find a new spot for her to live. She would thrive as an only dog to a family with no kids!

Story
Meet Moche! Moche is being fostered here at the rescue in Athens, east TN. Out of state welcome however you would need to come here to meet him. He is not eligible for transport only because he is very shy of new people. His story is quite sad actually. He was adopted from us back in 2020, born at the beginning of December 2019 or the end of November 2019. He was adopted and we did everything right with the adoption process and it was a great home with a woman who loved him dearly. Covid came and his owner’s world sort of changed and he was never given the chance to meet new people or other dogs or even go anywhere. He stayed home with his one human and his best friend (a kitty), He snuggled with this kitty and they were besties. His owner contacted us a couple of weeks ago and said she had to return him and not because she wanted to but because it was the best thing for him. She had been overcome with mental health issues, there was a death in her family and she was facing eviction, She could not take care of him anymore because she couldn’t take care of herself. His first few days here were hard on him he was so scared of us and the other dogs and this new scary place. Keep in mind we are not your typical home we have anywhere from 25-50 dogs at a time (we board and board and train for clients as well as foster our rescues (with that being said it was scary for him because we have a very active and excited household here). It took a few days and he warmed up to us, he is now part of the pack and he loves the other dogs. He hasn’t figured out how to play like a dog but he’s working on it. Now that he trusts us he is a snuggle bug and begs for attention using his paw to tap for attention and loves to give you his tummy for tummy rubs. We feel confident that if you allow him a little time he will be the same with you. It’s not his fault at all for the lack of socialization he never got. He does have a bit of separation anxiety, only if he can hear you in another room and he can’t get to you. If you leave the home he does just fine. He hates the crate but he doesn’t have to be crated, he is fully potty trained and he doesn’t get into anything. He will settle down to sleep in a crate after he lets you know he ain’t happy with it lol. He sleeps all night-we allow him to free range the house at night and he has done amazing. He is learning how to play with toys via flirt pole and he loves it. He was fearful for his life in those first few days. Six years with one person and a best friend kitty. He had no clue what the world has to offer and that it could be so much fun. What he needs is time and patience and a loving owner who will help him with his new life and learn to love what the world has to offer. He is amazing with cats and dogs so if you have other pets that would just be a bonus for him. Older Kids would be fine if they can understand that he will take a little time to get to know them before he accepts pets and love. He will Bark at you if he doesn’t know you and it can be intimidating. His home would need to be patient and give him a few days to trust and must also be willing to help him learn what the world is about by taking him places, having visitors (they don’t need to pet him he just needs to know their presence is not a threat). His home will need a fenced yard a physical fence because he has sight issues from retina detachment. He can see some but not clearly. His condition is peaked and is genetic and fortunately does not slow him down at all. He will not require any medical treatment or medications. He is not aggressive at all he will just avoid them. If they ignore him and allow him to meet them on his terms he will eventually be fine with them. This all will change as he gets more adapted to his new life. He has come so far already with us. He just needs more one on one time with his new family. We are a great waystation for him to learn that the world has more to offer but we cannot offer him what a real home can. He really is a precious soul who was dealt a really bad hand in the card game of life. He needs someone to love him and show him the world is not to be feared but to be enjoyed. He will be current on vaccines, he is chipped, he will be heartworm tested and we feel pretty confident it will be negative. He will potty outside and understands when you tell him to go potty. He is so well mannered on a leash. Please consider this precious boy and give him a chance. We also train dogs and he will come with all the training advice and free sessions (here with us in Athens or online virtually) that you could ever need for him. His adoption fee is waived to the right home. Apply at Petpath.org
