Story
I love this precious little lady! She showed up at a nice couple’s home and they asked us if we could take her into our rescue. A few weeks later I got to noticing that her waistline was getting a little bigger. Not long after that she graced us with 4 beautiful puppies. Haley was a terrific mother…she raised her puppies and now she’s ready for a great new life of her own. She is a super sweet, happy and good natured girl and she loves everybody. She is also pretty active and loves to play and have a big time, so she will require exercise. That being said, she will make a great hiking or running partner…she might even make an agility dog with some training. Although her pictures make her look big, she only weighs 40 pounds, which is a great size. Haley is 2 years old, has been spayed, microchipped, 4DX heartworm tested, fecal tested, current on all vaccinations, worming and on heartworm and flea prevention. Her adoption fee is $400. Haley is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted she will be transported to her pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the Northeast area every week and her fee includes transportation.

Story
Ok I’ll admit it, now that all of my littermates have gone to their new homes, I sure am sad and lonely. There’s nothing that I would love more than getting a brand new family of my very own. I’m a little timid, but my Foster Mom is working on that. Now that my siblings are gone, I’m getting more one on one time with her and experiencing new adventures. I have been fully vetted, had new pictures made so you can see what a beauty I am, and I’m more than ready to be adopted. This is what my Foster Mom says about us. I love this precious little litter! They are super sweet, happy, playful and very good natured. My Grandkids have had a ball playing with them, so needless to say, they are great with kids and they get along well with other dogs. They’ll be lots of fun too, but they aren’t so rambunctious that you can’t love on them Although I think they have some Hound in them, they do not have the loud baying bark of a hound. I went to the shelter and I happened to look down on the bottom tier of cages and there was this very sweet, very pregnant little dog that looked at me with her beautiful, needy eyes and she reached through the cage with her little paw as if to say “Please help me”. I knew that I couldn’t leave without her. A few days later she graced us with 7 adorable puppies. Their Mom is a small slender built 26 pound Terrier (maybe Rat or Feist) and maybe Hound mix. Mandy will make some lucky family a wonderful companion. She is 5 months (dob 5/15/24) and weighs around 24 pounds at the time of this posting (10/18/24). She has been spayed, microchipped, fecal tested, current on all vaccinations, worming and on heartworm and flea prevention. Mandy is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted she will be transported to her pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the Northeast area every week and her fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we can’t adopt directly to those states.
