Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bo is a senior male boxer found as a stray at Oak Grove Elementary. Here's the kicker. He was wearing a rabies tag from a vet clinic in McMinnville TN. When we called the vet, they gave us the owners name who had gotten the rabies last year. After speaking with that owner, we found out a bit more about Bo. It is his real name. He showed up at that owners house as a stray and they kept him and got him vetted. He was already neutered when he showed up there. THEN he disappeared from their house and they haven't seen him since the middle of last year. Somehow Bo made his way to Lewisburg, probably with help. Where he has been since that time we do not know, BUT since we have spoken with the original owner who is the owner on record, we do not need to hold him any stray hold time. She had attempted to find his owners there when she originally found him. So Bo is available for adoption or rescue now. The lady in McMinnville is okay with us rehoming him. She stated he is good with kids and other dogs, but not cats. Or chickens. He had killed several of her chickens. Since he is already neutered, his adoption fee is $25 and that is sponsored so no fee to his new adopters. He is fully vetted, heartworm negative, and now microchipped. He has bacteria in his ears and medications will go with him at no charge to rescue or the adopter.
He was adopted on 3-22 but then returned because he had issues with other dogs over food. We have updated his profile below. He's fine with other dogs BUT need to separate when feeding or giving treats.

Follow us on facebook under Lewisburg Animal Shelter Volunteers to see more candid photos of the dogs in our photo Albums. The current adoption fee is $75 which includes the dogs spay or neuter and Rabies vaccination at a local vet, and covers the distemper/parvo vaccine and bordetella vaccine and dewormings it receives here at our shelter. No dog will leave the shelter to an adopter without being vetted first.
By TN state law stray dogs are held for 3 days so they can be found by their owners before being put up for adoption or rescue. A dog found as a stray wearing a collar is held for 5 days before it is put up for adoption or rescue. Our shelter is a first come first adopt/rescue facility.There are no holds placed on dogs for potential adopters/rescue, however if a party is interested in a particular dog before it becomes available they may send an inquiry to shelter.manager@lewisburgtn.gov and those inquiries will be kept track of in order of received once dog becomes available. Adopters/rescues will be notified what order they are in in regards to each dog. They are available at 8am on the day they are available. Non vetted dogs will have an appointment scheduled and will be available for pickup for adoption the day after their surgery. Approved rescues may pull a dog and have vetted at their own expense once available to the public
