Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Henry and Hank, a bonded pair of sweet beagles in search of their forever home. These brothers were found at a boat dock in a rural area with no animal shelter, and sadly, only they could be caught. While Henry could potentially thrive on his own, Hank truly needs his brother for comfort and support. Henry has a grade five heart murmur, but an echocardiogram shows he doesn’t need medication at this time. Future meds will be required, so adopters should be prepared. Hank, who is very shy and lacks confidence, has undergone hernia surgery and still has a small one, but it’s not a concern.  A fenced yard is a must. They absolutely love spending nice days outside together and get excited for their daily leisurely leash walks with their foster mom. Despite their health issues, Henry and Hank are incredibly sweet and deserving of a bright future as pampered pets. Can you give these loving beagles a home for their golden years? No adoption fee for an exceptional home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 9:59 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This sweet, handsome boy is Odin; in his short life, he has been a stray on more than one occasion, abused,  and was left abandoned to fend for himself for months. Thankfully, he was rescued in January of 2024 right before a two week arctic blast/snow hit the Middle TN area. At first he was very fearful of people and had to have his trust won over. But with time and lots of TLC, his true personality is shining through and he is a wonderful boy! He is content and calm in his foster’s home and loves being near his people. Odin is also an outdoor enthusiast, so a fenced-in yard would be required (he loves to chase squirrels!).  His zoomies will have you laughing and his cuddles will melt your heart! Odin will thrive in a home where his humans will be patient and gentle and allow him time to acclimate.   More about Odin: • Requires a physically fenced yard • Affectionate and eager to please • Does well with older/considerate kids • Great with cats • Does well with most dogs (needs time to trust) • Walks wonderfully on a leash • Rides like a champ in the car • Not afraid of storms • Crate-trained • Adjusts well if boarded   Medical Notes: • Neutered • Microchipped • Fully Vaccinated • Heartworm negative • Maintained on monthly preventativesVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 22, 2024, 10:04 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ben is a sweet, ever so handsome and an independent boy who loves to be near you (he gets SO excited when we come home) but can equally occupy himself. He’s house trained, crate trained and a great eater! He is curious for life, and would likely do best with a home or space with a fence. We’ve not had to crate him, and have had no issues.  He’s got a funny personality, a silly howl (only comes out once in a while, definitely not an issue) and is basically a dream.       Adoption fee waived for an exceptional home.  Medical Notes: Neutered Received a Proheart 12 injection. Proheart provides protection against heartworms for 12 months.  Mircochipped Heartworm negative Vaccinations are up to date Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 22, 2024, 9:40 pm

Harlow currently lives with two other dogs and a rough-and-tumble 4-year-old, and she’s fantastic with them all. She loves playing with her canine pals, her toys, and running around in the fenced yard to burn off her energy.
