Story
Meet Fancy, a resilient 8-year-old rescue Chihuahua who, despite a rough start on the streets, has proven herself to be an incredible companion. After being found in neglected condition, Fancy cleaned up beautifully and revealed her sweet, affectionate personality. Now thriving in her foster home, she enjoys the comfort of a cozy doggie bed and spends her days relaxing, with her favorite toys close by for the occasional playful moment. She is tiny and all of 12 lb! Fancy is wonderfully well-behaved-she's not a chewer and can be trusted alone in the house without a crate. Her easygoing temperament and natural charm have made her popular with her foster siblings, and she's always up for a little playtime with her doggie friends. While Fancy is still mastering potty training, she's making progress and just needs a patient, loving hand to help her fully settle into a consistent routine. One of Fancy's favorite pastimes is snuggling on the couch, and she'd be the perfect cuddle buddy for cozy movie nights or relaxing weekends. Her gentle, affectionate nature shines through in everything she does, making her an ideal companion for anyone looking for a little extra love and loyalty. Fancy is ready to leave her past behind and find her forever home, where she can continue to blossom and be the cherished family member she deserves to be. If you're searching for a devoted, laid-back companion with a heart of gold, Fancy may be the perfect match! She is being fostered in a home in San Antonio, TX.

Story
Hello, my Name is Percy, it's short for Perseverance. I am a 7 year old Chihuahua, I am spayed and current on all shots. Sadly I tested positive for heartworms, so I was started on treatment. Treatment almost killed me so I am taking a safer route. I am in rescue because I was found by a sweet woman who was house sitting. She said I was quite the survivalist. Nobody had ever seen me before. I was gathering everything I needed out of someone's garage and taking it back to a flat bed trailer that I claimed, I even had some yummy cat food I have NEVER known humans to be nice and gentle so when the man came to trap me I was soooo scared. The man turned out to be safe he even brought me to rescue. I have been here a long time being worked with. everyone has shown me that humans are good and loving. I will need a patient and understanding adopter who will allow me some time to adjust. Once I trust you I am the sweetest silliest girl. I am a goofball who enjoys company and soft beds. ##1736828##

Story
Meet Ester! This precious girl was also from the Murray County hoarding case. Ester was actually the very last fur-child pulled from the house. She rolled in a day later because she was difficult to catch. She has some trust issues, understandably so. Ester needs someone who will allow her the time she needs to decompress and find her way through all of this. Ester needs to be in a home with other fur siblings so they can show her the ropes. Ester is a sweetheart and given time she will trust humans again. Ester is fully vetted. Spayed, heartworm negative, current on vaccines and preventions, she is microchipped and comes with a special geotag!

Story
I'm so very excited to make this post and announce that Joy is officially available!! Joy was trapped with Chance, our little injured pup, and her sister Jackie, who isn't available yet. Both girls were extremely skittish and wanted NOTHING to do with humans. We know all 3 of them were dumped at a rock quarry, so we understand the hesitation. They were all out there for around 3 months and who knows what went on before that. Joy is an absolute treasure and she went through the life saving program through Walker State Prison It is called FAITH HEELS with the Walker Kennel Club. During her 10 week stay she lived in a dorm with 9 residents who are led by a professional trainer. Joy had 2 handlers so this is around the clock care 24/7 one on one time for 10 weeks. The men teach basic obedience and breakthrough barriers that have been caused by someone mistreating these precious babies. Joy was top of her class and she blossomed beautifully. We are so proud of her and so appreciative of the men and all the love and attention they have poured into sweet Joy. She is a lovable little girl who is ready to be taken to the next level If Joy is adopted locally, she can continue training with OCC at a discounted rate because she is a graduate Joy is truly a precious girl and a prime example of what love and commitment can do to rehabilitate. Joy knows: SIT WATCH ME LEAVE IT DOWN  LOOSE LEASH WALK / WITH ME Joy is fully vetted. She is spayed, current on vaccines and preventions, she is heartworm negative, she is microchipped and comes with a special geotag!

Story
Moose is an extremely loving dog. He loves to sleep right up on you, and does not know he’s not a lap dog haha. He’s turning 9 around Christmas this year, so he’s 8 right now. He’s a chuggle, part chihuahua, pug, and beagle. He’ll alert you to any noise outside your home as well. He is a jealous dog, so he might show out if you have small kids. Needs some training. He’s never been ill natured, never has bitten anyone, but he might lick you to death with kisses. Watch out. He also loves to play fetch. He will spend hours playing if you will. He’s in need of a new family that has time for him and that can give him space to run outside, and just give him the attention he needs. Our lives have changed drastically in the last year, and we’re just unable to give him the attention he needs and deserves. WeMre looking to find the right fit for him.

Story
Meet Trigger Trigger was dumped at a friend of mines moms’ house in August 2024. He is a very good boy and gets along well with people and other dogs. Not sure about cats as the fosters are allergic to kitties, but I would imagine he would be fine since he’s seems so sweet. He does have an old leg injury, that has healed, but he limps slightly. He is around 2 years old and around 10 pounds. Trigger is neutered, updated on all shots, and heartworm tested negative. He will need to be kept on heartworm prevention his whole life, like all dogs should. The adopt fee to cover his care and vetting is $100 to an approve and loving home. All vet records will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption. You can text/call his foster mom Joyce with any questions about Trigger since she knows him best. Her number is: (423) 715-2050 Please be considerate of the time of day if calling. 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!

Story
Meet Elsa Elsa was found living in horrible conditions with 70+ other dogs in Georgia. A shelter took in all of the dogs and released as many as they could to other rescues around the area. She is around a year old and weighs 10 pounds. She is spayed, updated on all shots, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm prevention. She has been cleaned up and her super long nails have been cut. She is a very sweet girl that loves to lay right up next to you. She can be a bit nervous right at first, but quickly comes around. She has been tested with kids at my groomers house, so gentle/calm kids over the age of 8 should be fine. She will bark if she knows someone is around and she can’t get near them! So you must allow pets on your FURniture if you want to add her to your family! :) The adoption fee is $300 to an approved and loving home. All vet records will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption.

Meet Anna! Anna was found living in horrible conditions with 70+ other dogs in Georgia. A shelter took in all of the dogs and released as many as they could to other rescues around the area. (We took in Anna and Elsa.) She is around 2 years old and weighs 7 pounds currently and is underweight, but we’re working on that. She is now spayed, current on all shots, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on all preventatives. Anna has been cleaned up and her super long nails have been cut. She is a very sweet/snuggly girl that loves to lay right up next to you. She would love to find a home where she can be treated like a princess and forget about her heartbreaking past. We believe she should be ok in a home with older kids (8+), as long as they are CALM kids. She is not 100% house trained, but we’re working on it. I haven’t crated her much, because I wanted her to always have access to food if wanted. You must allow pets on your FURniture if you want to add her to your family because she loves to snuggle on the couch! The adoption fee is $250 to an approved and loving home. All vet records will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption.

Story
Teddy is a 12 week old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix that is ready for adoption. We are sharing the picture of Teddy and his brother, Thor we were sent from the shelter our rescue puppies come from. This is the day they were surrendered. Teddy is microchipped, neutered and has had three puppy vaccines. If you would like more information please text only to Ann Brown at (423)505-1714. Our puppies are rescues from a high kill county shelter. We do our best to determine what breed they are. Sometimes when they are owner surrenders the breed is known, but this can still be a guess by the surrenderer. You may look and see something different than we do which is perfectly fine. What we do know is that each one is 100% rescued.
