Story
7 little puppies dumped on a dead end road to fend for themselves. Luckily for them, a kind woman spotted them and started gathering them up one at a time. She brought them to the rescue and we worked our magic. They were covered in fleas, sick and scared to death. Two weeks of nurturing and here they are, as sweet as can be and healthy! We are not sure of the breed mix so we did our best to guess! At 3 months, they weigh around 20 pounds so they won't be small dogs They will be ready for transport just in time for Christmas. Wouldn't you just love to take one of these precious souls home! OUR PHYSICAL LOCATION IS TENNESSEE AND WE TRANSPORT TO YOUR AREA. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THEM PRIOR TO ADOPTION BUT WE GIVE AN UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE AND WE TAKE NO FEES UP FRONT ADOPTION FEE $650

Story
Meet Spork Spork is a local surrender in need of a home for the holidays. Spork's ideal home would be one where he would be the only reindeer guiding the sleigh. See Spork never got a chance to gain confidence and he is quite insecure. His insecurity can lend him to protecting his human and being unsure of new four-legged friends. We do feel that with consistency, structure and routine, that he could be successful with other dogs, but it will take work and time. We do not know how he is with cats. He will need a quieter home with older children that would be less unpredictable. Spork is under doctor's care to slowly gain some much needed weight. He is currently eating three meals a day from his slow feeder. He is up to date on all vaccines and has recently had blood work and exam. He has done well in the crate but needs to learn to not destroy or eat the finer luxuries like blankets and pillows. Spork is on the nice list and looking for a cozy spot to wait for Santa. He adores his humans and we guarantee he will be worth his (future) weight in gold when he finds his forever home. For more information, please contact Katie at: adoptspork@gmail.com Let's find Spork his happily ever after!

Story
MEET RIGSBY! He is a two-year-old, 31-pound bundle of joy with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. He’s sweet, affectionate, and always up for an adventure — the definition of happy-go-lucky! Rigsby gets along well with other dogs, especially those his size or bigger, since his play style can be a little rough and rowdy. He’s house-trained, kennel-trained, walks well on a leash, and absolutely loves car rides. Whether he's snuggling on the couch or exploring the world with you, Rigsby is ready to bring a whole lot of joy and personality into his forever home. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NAF/Dog
