Story
This dog is a courtesy listing (not in the AARF program) but we will be reviewing applications and helping the owner find the right home for BINGO. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. His adoption is FREE to approved home. Looking for a loyal companion? Meet Bingo! This 2-year-old mix of American Pit Bull Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, and American Staffordshire Terrier will win your heart with his devotion and playful nature. Weighing in at 40 pounds, Bingo is a medium-sized bundle of joy who loves nothing more than to play fetch and chew on his beloved stuffed toys and Nylabones. Bingo's unique charm shines through in his quirky habits. He absolutely adores ice cubes and will eagerly run to the fridge with you for a treat. He also has a soft spot for pup cups from Starbucks. Despite being mostly deaf, Bingo is a smart cookie and responds well to hand commands like place, sit, down, and stay. He's a graduate of The Dog Wizard of Knoxville, and his training can continue with his new family. Bingo is fully potty trained and will ring bells hanging on the door to let you know when he needs to go out. He's also crate trained, making bedtime and alone time a breeze. Although he enjoys the company of his person, he can be a bit anxious around sudden movements due to his hearing loss. Bingo thrives in a one-person household where he can be the star of the show. If you're ready for a sweet, smart, and devoted companion who will bring joy and excitement into your life, Bingo is the perfect match for you. Give this lovable pup a forever home where he can truly shine!    Interested in adopting?

COURTESY LISTINGThis dog is a courtesy listing (not in the AARF program) but we will be reviewing applications and helping the owner find the right home for ROO. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Introducing Roo: Your Energetic and Affectionate Companion! Roo is a 2 1/2-year-old Mountain Cur weighing approximately 50lbs. This handsome pup is bursting with energy, always ready for an adventure. However, when he's seeking affection, he knows how to switch into a calm and loving mode. One of the most endearing qualities about Roo is his love for affection and his favorite pastime—running and doing zoomies in the yard! You'll find yourself charmed by his playful antics and infectious joy. Watching him fetch and play with toys is an absolute delight. Roo is a well-trained dog who knows commands such as sit, wait, place, and kennel. He recently completed a 30-day in-board training, demonstrating his eagerness to learn and please his human companions. If needed, his caregivers are more than willing to cover the cost of additional training to ensure a smooth transition into your home. When it comes to manners, Roo is house-trained and has excellent crate behavior. He understands the cue to kennel up and is comfortable spending time in his crate. You won't have to worry about any accidents or destructive behavior. Roo enjoys playing fetch, spending time with his favorite toys, and socializing with other dogs. His friendly nature makes him an ideal playmate for canine pals of all sizes. Although he hasn't been around cats, livestock, or many children, he may be tempted to give chase to small creatures out of playfulness. From a medical standpoint, Roo is in excellent health, with no known concerns. Roo has shown compatibility with dogs and adults; however, he may need some time to warm up to new people. Slow introductions and a gentle approach are key to helping him feel comfortable. He walks well on a leash and rides calmly in the car, making him a great companion for outings and adventures. This sweet and intelligent boy thrives in an understanding and loving home. He's eager to continue learning, and his caregivers believe he would benefit from activities like swimming, as he showed great interest and enthusiasm during his encounters with the pool. If you're seeking a loyal and fun-loving companion who will keep you active and entertained, Roo is the perfect match. Adopting Roo means gaining a friend for life who will shower you with love, energy, and affection. Ask us about Roo today!    Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Rosie - A Beautiful Boxer/Terrier Mix Ready for Her Forever Home Rosie is a 3.5-year-old Boxer/Terrier mix who has been through more than most dogs should ever have to face. At 40 pounds, this sweet girl is a true survivor. She raised ten puppies under very difficult circumstances, sadly losing two of them along the way. Despite everything she's been through, Rosie is still full of love and hope, and she's now ready to find a home where she can finally feel safe and cherished. Rosie is gentle and affectionate, but she's a little shy and takes time to trust new people. When she first arrived with us, she was afraid of even walking through doorways, probably because she had never known what it was like to be in a home. Though she's made great progress, loud noises still startle her, and she'll often seek out a quiet spot to hide. She would do best in a calm, peaceful home where her new family can give her the time and patience she needs to feel secure. Rosie is nearing the end of her heartworm treatment and is already showing signs of recovery. With just a little more time and care, she will be back to full health, ready to enjoy the life she truly deserves. Rosie has so much to offer, and all she needs is a chance to find her forever home. If you think you can provide Rosie the safe, loving environment she deserves, please apply today at www.allpawsondeck.org. Adoption Requirements: - Applicants must be at least 21 years old - Complete an application at www.allpawsondeck.org - All current pets must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations - If adopting a pet that is not yet altered, a $100 deposit will be required at the time of adoption. This deposit will be refunded upon proof of spay or neuter. Additional Information: - If a dog is posted, it is available for adoption - Adoption pickups are in Connecticut - Massachusetts residents cannot be adopted due to state laws - Only complete applications submitted through www.allpawsondeck.org will be considered

Story
Jelly – A Sweet Soul Looking for a Second Chance Jelly is a 2-year-old spayed Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of love. Her journey started as a stray before being adopted at just 8 weeks old. Her adopter cherished her, but due to health issues, they were heartbreakingly forced to surrender her. Jelly is struggling to adjust to foster life and feels scared and uncertain. Despite this, she has a loving and playful personality that shines through once she feels safe. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, better with the calmer ones or smaller than her, and is eager to find a forever home where she can feel secure and loved again. Jelly is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She’s ready to bring joy, affection, and playful energy to the lucky family who adopts her. Could that be you? If you decide to adopt jelly you NEED to commit to AT LEAST 3 weeks for her to decompress and adjust! You must not expect instant gratification. Jelly is wonderful dog but very shy. Please be sure to understand that 3 weeks is not 3 days. 📍 Learn more and apply to adopt Jelly at www.allpawsondeck.org.
