Story
Meet Chip! This handsome boy is being fostered in East TN Athens. Out of state welcome. The adoption fee listed on adopt a pet includes transport to your area. We use Rescue Riders for all our transport needs because they are the best. Chip is such a sweet handsome boy. He is very affectionate and playful. He is a young boy almost a year old and curious as they come. He had the head tilt move to expert level. He wags his super short tail all the time. He’s a happy go lucky kind of boy. He was going to be euthanized due to time and space at our local shelter so we pulled him out to save him. He was adopted and then returned we were told he had some food guarding tendencies. Well we don’t see this at all in fact we accidentally forgotten on a few occasions about that and petted him while eating or moved his bowl while he was eating and he could have cared less. We are not sure if this was directed towards other dogs or not but we do not feed them together here. He has also not been possessive of any toys at all. He plays well with other dogs large and small. He is crate trained and is doing excellent at house training. He is still just a young pup so he would need to be treated like a puppy. Don’t leave things out for him to get into. Take him out to potty in his new home and praise him for going on the new yard etc. he’s a great dog and will make a lucky family very happy. We think he would do best with older kids because he does play pretty hard and would knock the smaller ones around. Apply at petpath.org.

Story
Julia is 11,we got her from a free puppies ad. She was the one in the middle of the pack getting pushed around. She grew up with me and my two sons. She was just taken to the vet last week for a senior panel and she is healthy for a senior dog. She is very smart, and if you take the time, could teach her tricks. She knows sit, shake, dance, lay down, 'leave it' and release word 'ok'. She just lived with a family for 3 months while I was out of the country, they had a cat, and became friends. She has lived in a house with another dog. She is best around other animals that are submissive., and I think it would be a case by case meeting situation. She is a lot at first, loud and pulling on the leash when she sees other animals, so it makes it hard to take her places. She is very sweet, and feeds off your energy. If you are crying in the next room, she'll come in and lick your face and sit with you. She has short spurts of wanting to play, and likes to chase tennis balls.

Story
Meet Rocky! If you have kids of any age that love dogs and want to play, "Rockstar" is your boy!!! He is a 9 month old precious goober that is longing for his FURever home! He came into rescue at just 1 week old! His entire litter has been adopted and he was in a foster to adopt home when we discovered he needed surgery to correct an injury he had when we got him. He has now had that surgery and is 100% healed but his original home realized they were not ready or able to care for a dog after going through his medical process. He is AMAZING with children but wants to chase chickens so probably would chase cats too (he has not been officially tested but we want to be safe). He is 95% potty trained, super playful, loves kids and dogs and will do well in almost any environment. He is still a puppy so has puppy energy. Rocky is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and could be available for transport but transport fees are in addition to his adoption fee. Rocky is up to date on all his vaccinations, chipped, on HW prevention and neutered. If you are interested in meeting Rocky please apply at our website forrescue.net.

Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliott@att.net) for more information about this pet.4 year old Merle mini Australian Shepherd, femaleNova is very sweet and calm. We were told she is 4 years old. Nova has been spayed and updated with all her vaccinations and is microchipped. Her teeth have been cleaned and bloodwork has been done to confirm. She is heart-worm and tick-borne disease negative. She is good with other dogs and cats and children. She is as I said, calm and reserved at meeting new people. She came from my breeder so she was never really much of a pet until now. She loves to snuggle and be close and follow her foster mom around the farm. She is currently located in Harrison Arkansas. She can be brought to you via the rescue network transport. You may inquire directly at jetta.elliott@att.net.July 12, 2025, 10:03 am
