Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.About Mick We rescued this senior boy from Nashville Animal Control in 2022.  He came to us heartworm positive and generally in pretty rough shape.  Since then, he has been nurtured and cared for, brought back to health and happiness. He is now ready for his retirement home!  Mick enjoys the company of people and enjoys spending time just laying around on the couch or a comfy dog bed, having big stretchies and loving his people.  You truly won't notice, but Mick is actually deaf as well as blind in one eye. Neither of these things slow him down or make him difficult to handle.  In fact, he has a hound's nose and navigates with it extremely well.    Interactions with Other Animals He is really good with other dogs. Because of his age, his activity level is pretty low, so he may not be particularly interested in playing with young pups. He is not good with cats or chickens.   Apply to Adopt To apply to adopt this perfect companion, fill out the adoption form here: https://goo.gl/dGoP1L   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 4:17 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.About Daniel Daniel is a big, sweet puppy who loves to lay around and would like to be in a home where he is the only dog. He would thrive with someone who will be patient and kind, showing him how they want him to behave and respond, as he is a little unsure of his place in the world.  He is a big puppy, so he will be a pretty big adult, too. Interactions with Other Animals He is an absolute sweetheart, though he finds strange dogs to be scary and may bark and growl at them if they get too close. With proper socialization, over time, we feel this is probably something he can overcome. Origin Story This puppy and his five siblings were the product of a surprise litter. The owners are housing them as we try to find their forever homes, but it is hard on them to have this many large babies at once. His mother looks to be a boxer mix and dad appears to be a lab mix - this is just our best guess!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Alice has a sad story to tell.  She was rescued from the Memphis Animal Control facility by a rescue out of NC.  They dumped this dog on our foster mom, after taking the pledges and basically running.  The foster mom paid for all of Alice's vetting which includes her spay and she was treated for heartworms.  Shame on that "rescue".   Alice is a sweetheart!  She loves everyone, except cats!  Housebroken, crate trained and new dog friends, well, that depends on the new dog.  She is not that selective, just needs to meet them first.  She always has a smile on her face and loves to meet new people!!!  She is a strong girl and needs a few more manners on leash but otherwise, a great girl. Please complete our adoption application below if you can offer the home that Alice deserves! https://goo.gl/DGoP1LVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 4:17 pm
