My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***Please don’t message with “Is he available?” He is not going anywhere until he has been vetted.

We are accepting applications until we find the right fit for Gixxer as well as the other 14 waiting on homes. Please only fill out the application for Gixxer if you:
1-have no kids under 12
2-have a fenced yard
3-All pets in the home are/were spayed/neutered, current on shots, and dogs on heartworm prevention (yes I will verify).***

Little Gixxer (sounds like Jixxer) was found as a stray by a nice lady and we offered to look for the owner and check for a microchip. Unfortunately there was no microchip, so we did the legal stray hold and searched for an owner, but no owner was found. He was in pretty rough shape, so we’ve cleaned him up and got him some “groceries”!

Gixxer is a little over a year old and weighs around 10 pounds. He will be neutered, updated on all shots, microchipped, and heartworm tested on 12-17-24. If he is heartworm negative, he will be started on heartworm prevention, which he MUST be kept on all of his life.

He is somewhat nervous in the beginning with new people and sudden movements, so he’d be better in a home without kids under 12.

Gixxer has done pretty well in the house and seems to have been puppy pad trained at some point in his life, but does like to tear puppy pads up occasionally. He does like to say hello (bark) when his people get home from work, etc. lol

The adoption fee is $400 to an approved and loving home. All vet records and his collar will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption.

To apply to adopt go to our website www.fureverfurkids.com

*We do home checks for each pet before approving an adoption.*

The application is to be completed prior to meeting the pet(s) you are interested in adopting. If they are still on the page, they are still more than likely still available. We do keep our website and Petfinder updated regularly.

Once a pet is adopted from our rescue, they MUST be returned to us, if you cannot keep them. If you plan on not keeping them their whole lives, please do not apply.

Thank you for looking at our rescues in need of amazing homes!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

FURever FURkids Sanctuary & Rescue is a small home-based sanctuary and rescue for dogs (primarily) near the Chattanooga, TN area. All pets that come here, are fully vetted before being placed into loving homes. We do NOT have a public shelter. To meet our pets, you must have an approved application on file and we will bring them to your home, or meet in 1 of our few meeting spaces.

More about this rescue

Established in 2011, FURever FURkids Sanctuary & Rescue is a privately run rescue.

All of our sanctuary/rescue pets have come from situations such as being on death row at shelters, owners who can no longer keep them, or even rescued from heartbreaking situations.

Each rescued pet is kept in foster homes until a FURever home is found. If no home can be found, they become a sanctuary pet. Every pet is spayed/neutered (if of age), current on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and dogs are heartworm tested, (if the dog is over 6 months) prior to adoption.

The adoption process requires an adoption application. If the application looks good, we will contact your veterinarian for a reference (if applicable). If that checks out, we will schedule a home check (for the safety of our rescues). If local, we will come to your home. If you are not local, we will need several pictures and/or a video of your home/yard to complete the home check. Finally, if approved, you will fill out an adoption contract and pay the pets set adoption fee (which varies).

FURever FURkids Sanctuary & Rescue has adopted out hundreds of animals since we began. We have a professional working relationship as a rescue with many other area rescues, vets, shelters and spay/neuter clinics in the area.


*WE NO LONGER ARE ABLE TO TAKE IN CATS*
*PLEASE REMEMBER*
If you adopt a pet from us and you are not able to keep him/her, you MUST contact us.
