Story
We found this good boy on a highway in rural TN. We have checked all over for his owners-called vets, shelters, talked to neighbors, posted online, checked for a microchip-with no luck. We have had him for almost a week, and although he is very sweet, we already have a dog and cannot keep him forever. He is very well mannered and friendly, although seems unfamiliar with home living. He occasionally tries to pee inside, and doesn't like to be crated. He seems unfamiliar with toys and treats, we assume he was an outdoor dog who didn't get much attention. He spends most of his time sleeping and following us around the house. He walks on a leash pretty well and enjoys going for jogs! He is very mellow and gets along great with our dog. We wanted to reach out before taking him to a shelter, as the only local one his a high-volume kill shelter.

Story
Myrtle is 1 of 4 that need to be rehomed. Super cute and super cuddly. Mom is Black Mouth Cur Mix and dad is Weimeraner Mix. These pups have been part of my home and I want to ensure they go to good homes and will be part of the family. 4 girls 1 boys born on 6/15/2022. It is going to be very hard to let her go but I have other dogs and a small house. Myrtle is my cuddler and very eager to please. However, she is a digger. She digs out from under my fence. She needs a home where she can roam or someone who is very active and can take her for walks or runs. I will be very picky about who she goes too because she is my favorite. I don’t want her to be tied up to a tree. She deserves to be part of the family.

Indie

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Chattanooga, TN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Indie is a 3.5 year old Australian Shepherd. He is a super loyal companion and loves nothing more than being around his people. He’s not a huge toy-lover, but he does love playing fetch, tug of war, and playing with dogs familiar to him. Indie is very protective of his people and his home. For that reason, he would do best living in a quieter area. He can be aggressive towards strangers and unfamiliar dogs, but is able to get to know new people (as long as they give him treats!) Indie will do great with an experienced dog owner who is comfortable with an anxious and reactive dog and able to give him the attention and training he needs. He is okay being home alone during the day and is not destructive or prone to accidents. Just know that if you’re gone for a long time, he’ll be SO a excited to see you when you come home!
