Story
It’s obvious that Chet has STAR quality! Not only is he the most handsome guy around, but he is also a very affectionate dog and he is very smart. He went to puppy school as a youngster and learned his basic commands. He being on the receiving end of his human’s attention, snuggling with them on the couch, sleeping in the bed with them and he always gives kisses freely. He’s a lot of fun too… loves to play with toys, and if you’ll throw them, he will catch and retrieve balls and frisbees. Chet is a fairly quiet and a little shy and he want’s all of his human’s attention for himself. That being said, he needs to be the only dog in the home. He gets along with other dogs as long as they are laid back/submissive, but prefers not to live with them. He hasn’t been around little kids, but would be fine around older kids that would respect him and treat him with kindness. Chet will make a wonderful companion for some lucky family! He is three years old (dob 11/9/21) and weighs 40-45 pounds, has been neutered, micro-chipped, 4DX heartworm tested, fecal tested, is current on all vaccinations, worming, heartworm and flea prevention. His adoption fee is $400. Chet is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted he will be transported to his pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the Northeast area every week and his fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we can’t adopt directly to those states.

Story
This BEAUTIFUL little lady is Sydney and she is a SWEETHEART if I ever saw one! She has a fairly gentle and easy going demeanor that makes her a joy to be around. During her stay here she has been a very good girl, she hasn’t bothered anything, she’s not a big barker, she keeps her quarters neat, doesn’t chew on anything and she gets along well with the other dogs. What else could you ask for? She also enjoys being around people, both adults and kids, and is always ready to partake in any kind of personal attention that they wish to lavish her with. She particularly likes to stay in close proximity to her human. Sydney will make a wonderful family pet for some lucky family. The vet estimated her to be 3-4 years old and she weighs 55 pounds. She has been spayed, 4DX heartworm tested, microchipped, fecal tested and is current on all vaccinations, worming and on heartworm and flea prevention. Her adoption fee is $400. Sydney is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted she will be transported to her pickup location by a professional dog transport company.

Story
This absolutely darling duo of snuggle bugs are Max and Stubby! Max is a wonderfully sweet mini Aussie who is a small but very compact/stocky adorable 32 lbs, and Stubby is a silly, super sweet, adorable mini schnauzer who weighs 18 lbs! Max is 3.5 years old and Stubby is 1.5. Their owner purchased them from breeders and they instantly formed the sweetest brother bond. They were raised in a family with love and socialization, but sadly the family was forced to give them up to the pound. Thankfully a family of animal lovers heard their story and knew they were in need and was happy to take these darling brothers in and give them lots of love until they find their dream home together! Since coming into rescue these guys have had all of their medical work completed! They’re now current on their vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing, and preventative. They are also now microchipped and neutered! They are in excellent health and are ready to begin their next chapter together with a loving, stable forever home! These two gentleman acclimated to foster care without hesitation, and everyone immediately fell in love with them! They made fast friends with the other dogs in their foster home and have acclimated to living with cats very well! They have been excellent with everyone they meet regardless of age or gender, they truly are social butterflies! This guys love their toys and balls and are happy to snuggle together, play together, and make the best out of every day! They are super connected to their people and sleep in bed with their foster parents every night, through the night with great manners. They are excellent outdoors and reliably go potty outside! They love to run and play and are big fans of a nice yard, soaking up sunlight and warmth in summer months, and cozying up snuggling with you during these cold winter days. Stubby is a super outgoing social guy, ready to befriend everyone he meets, he’s very extroverted and always happy and fun! Max is a little more submissive and nurturing. He’s gentle, tender, and sweet. His favorite thing on earth is snuggling and he has a phenomenal temperament. Stubby has a more playful puppy spirit and max is more of a gentler old soul. Stubby is the big brother of the duo and Max is happy to rely on him and follow his cues. These two are an amazing pair and their greatest dream is a warm, loving, safe forever home- together!! If you’d love to make their dream come true, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)
