You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Harper is big fan of toys and other dogs, but is a bit skiddish around humans.  She absolutely needs another doggie friend.  She doesn't bark a ton, but she does bark at strangers some. Harper started out her life as a feral dog in a field, so she's made tremendous progress!    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 13, 2024, 4:16 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Allen! He cameto K Kids with his family and all his mom/sisters have all gone to foster to adopt homes but he’s still here. We are now calling Allen Chaps because of the unique pattern on his backside . Chap was living with 5 dogs and 3 cats in a motel room. Here’s what you need to know: He’s about 10 pounds, under 2 years old, a big fan of helping me work (as you can see from the photos), good with other dogs, has lived with cats, and is just a friendly guy. He does pretty well with his housebreaking, but he does mark a little bit because he’s not neutered yet. Chap is a good resource guarder with his dog food. He needs to be fed in a crate or somewhere he can’t growl and snarl at anyone else trying to eat in peace. Speaking of food, Chaps is hilariously proper at taking food off of human utensils—-he eats very well off of a spoon and a fork. If you’ve been looking for a small dog to sit on the table and spoon feed, Chap says he’s your man   Chaps adoption fee is $400 and that includes all of his vetting.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Bean. He’s a chiweenie . He came to us from a hoarding house a while back. Bean has some preferences for his forever home. He wants to be the only dog. No men, cats, or people with hats! (He’s going to write a Dr. Seuss book for little neurotic dogs ). Kids are weird and must be barked at endlessly, so probably he doesn’t want to live with any of those, either. Bean’s foster mom reports that Bean would happily stay under the covers in bed for days at a time. Bean is 5-6 years old and about 6 pounds. He’s a very sweet boy (if you aren’t any of the things he hates that are clearly outlined above ) . He has this little trick where he puts his paws to his chest for treats and spins Bean's adoption fee is $300 and he is fully vetted including a recent dental.

This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Are you searching for an adorable and fun-loving puppy? Look no further than Holmes! This 12-week-old, 15-pound bundle of joy is full of excitement and energy! We believe his breed mix could be a German Shepherd/Chihuahua and he may grow to around 40 lbs - a perfect medium-sized companion! When Holmes isn't playing full speed ahead, he delights in belly rubs and will melt in your arms for snuggles. Holmes gets along great with all the other dogs in his foster home. He would do great in an active home with a family ready to teach him the ropes. Holmes is all puppy which means he's still learning and will need consistent training, patience and love to grow into a well-mannered dog. If you’re looking for a trainable, sweet, and energetic pup to add to your family, Holmes is waiting to meet you! Apply today and start your journey with this lovable detective!  Interested in adopting?

THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide. Typical transport cost to the Northeast is $180. Due to interstate adoption regulations, we are not able to adopt to RI and MA state residents. A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin' Inc.) http://aarf-tn.com/ is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no kill animal rescue organization located in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. A.A.R.F. is comprised of unpaid volunteers and survives only on public donations. Thank you for thinking adoption first! Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption. March 1, 2025, 7:48 pm

CHICO IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!   Chico is easily the sweetest fun-loving dog ever. He is happy-go-lucky, he is extremely smart and is eager to please his human. He is about 8-10 years old and 13lbs. Chico loves to cuddle with his person. He knows sit, come, back, find “whatever you ask him”. Chico is house trained and crate trained. He recently had a dental. Chico is a good eater. He is polite and loves meeting new people. Chico was an only dog in his original setting, walked into his multi dog foster home and immediately became the cruise director. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes. His favorite foster sibling are the pretty larger females! Chico is crate trained and house trained. He sleeps with his foster mom or in his open crate – his choice. Chico loves lap time. The best home for Chico will have a secure fence. Kids over 10 and with excellent doggy manners would be okay. Another well temperamented dog would be fabulous. An excellent history of vet care for current or previous pets is required. Previous specific breed experience will be given preference. He is fully vetted including spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Chico up north to his new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Chico here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 1:30 pm

Story
Willow is timid and cautious girl with elf like ears. She is about 15 lbs and is believed to be a chihuahua mix. Since Willow was found as a stray, her age is unknown, but she estimated to be around 4 years old. Due to her cautious and submissive behavior, Willow will need a patient and understanding family as she learns to trust people. Willow dances while waiting for her meals, sleeps in a crate at night, is potty trained, loves to snuggle, and is a calm and low key girl. She has little interest in playing with toys and is unsure and nervous about walking on a leash. It would be best if she has a fenced in backyard for safety. Willow is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and micro chipped. If you would like to discuss Willow further, fill out an application. Once the application is review, her foster person will reach out to you. Willow is currently fostered in Madison, AL with 2 others dogs and 2 cats. Since she is a shy and timid dog, young children may not be a good fit for Willow.

Story
Meet Tanner! Tanner is a nine-month-old Chihuahua mix with a fun, spunky personality and just the right amount of attitude. At around 24 pounds, he’s a little bigger than a typical Chi but still has all the charm. He can be a bit jumpy with new people and unfamiliar noises, and he may bark at first, but once he figures you out, he’s happy to settle in and curl up in your lap. Treats help speed up the process—once he knows you have snacks, he’s much more willing to be friends. He’s crate trained, house trained, and does great when left alone, happily hanging out in a gated area when his people aren’t home. He loves to go for walks and enjoys meeting people and dogs along the way, though he can get excited and pull a little. His favorite thing in the world is playing fetch. He will chase a ball over and over again, but beyond that, he isn’t too interested in other toys. Tanner would do best in a home with someone who understands the independent yet affectionate nature of Chihuahuas. He has done well with small dogs and could likely live with a confident, easygoing dog who lets him warm up at his own pace. He hasn’t been tested with cats, and while he can be a bit uncertain around kids, he does well with those who approach him calmly and have treats to win him over. For someone who appreciates a dog with a little personality and a lot of love to give, Tanner will make a wonderful companion. He just needs the right person to help him feel safe and let his playful, affectionate side shine. At Green Dogs Unleashed (GDU), we are dedicated to ensuring the successful placement of our dogs in loving, permanent homes. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of returns due to behavioral issues that could have been prevented with the right support. A significant percentage of these returns involve out-of-area clients or those who have not completed training with GDU. To address this, positive reinforcement training with Green Dogs Unleashed is required as a condition for all adoptions. Preference for this dog will be given to adopters who commit to signing up for and completing our six-week Canine 101 training class in person at our headquarters in Troy, VA. Secondary consideration will be given to a limited number of out-of-area adopters who agree to complete one private lesson with GDU, either in person or virtually, and attend a pre-approved positive reinforcement training class in their area. At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2191070##

Story
Oh, Nyx....where do I begin. This girl is a special one! She came to us when our vet asked us to take in a special needs puppy. Nyx was born with hydrocephalus and the breeder didn't want her so she surrendered Nyx to our vet. Her hydrocephalus doesn't affect her health in any way now but we believe it has affected her personality. Nyx is a very special girl who will need a VERY special adopter. One who is patient and calm and willing to accept Nyx for who she is! Nyx wants affection on her terms but will run from you if you try to pick her up. You have to go low and slow so she won't run from you. Nyx will HAVE to have a fenced in yard for that very reason - if she got out you probably wouldn't get her to come back to you. Nyx likes other dogs but doesn't really know how to play with them and can mean to them when she's just trying to get them to play. We think all of her quirks are a direct result of her hydrocephalus. She can be so loving, but she is definitely a quirky one! Nyx will do best with older children or a quiet household. If you are the unicorn adopter we are looking for - who is willing to accept Nyx for who she is - please fill out our application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Nyx is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once her adoption is finalized.
