Cole and Bennett Need Their Forever Home
Anderson County Animal Rescue Foundation (AC ARF) https://www.acanimalrescuefoundation.org is looking for a family for Bennett and Cole, two 10-12 month-old husky mix breed pups. These pups have come a long way since they came into rescue…they have learned much, and we have learned much about them. They were abandoned at a church in Oliver Springs when they were around 5-6 months old. They found shelter under a nearby house of an elderly couple who cared enough to feed them and who reached out to AC ARF. They are a very bonded pair, so we would love for them to be adopted together.
These dogs are both very dog (and cat!) friendly, and would do best living with another dog or dogs providing some guidance. But, as long as they are together, they would be fine by themselves! They are neutered and up to date on preventives and vaccines, microchipped, housetrained, and are calm, easygoing, attentive dogs. They are still a little shy, but are beginning to learn they can trust people…even little ones! Cole is black and tan and Bennett is tan with one blue eye and one brown eye. They are both gorgeous, and currently weigh around 50 lbs each. Their adoption fee is $75. Even though there are two dogs, they are very low maintenance and pretty much act like only one dog!
Both pups are very smart and very dog social, and love to play with each other and other dogs (especially when they visit the dog park) and they love their food and treats. Another local non-profit, Down and Dirty Dogs, Inc. (https://www.facebook.com/downanddirtydogs) is an East TN grass-roots non-profit that aims to improve the quality of life and adoptability of rescue dogs. They are a great organization who have also been working with Bennett and Cole to help improve their confidence and increase their trust in people!
In April, Bennett and Cole participated in a board and train program at Meadowbrooke Kennels in Knoxville https://www.facebook.com/meadowbrookekennel where they received foundational training…learning essential commands, basic manners, socialization, as well as getting exercise. They are now stellar at walking on a leash, and have exquisite manners to boot! In addition, these smart and playful boys come with a year of free training support from Meadowbrooke for their adopter!
Cole and Bennett are now eager to find their forever home. They are both currently being boarded at Little Lake Pet Lodge https://littlelakepetlodge.com until we can find their forever home. They are shy, healthy, smart, food-motivated, and friendly to other dogs. They are ready to learn what it is like to live in a warm home with love and affection. Having their own family would provide a sense of belonging to these pups so they can really blossom. They certainly deserve that chance!! They are very special dogs.
