Story
This little cutie has been adopted,,, but check back for newcomers soon.   This little cutie is estimated to be 10-12 years old,, but she's got the spunk of someone much younger..... She's bright eyed and bushy tailed, as they say,,, and always rarin' to go and keep up with any activity going on in her vicinity. She gets along fine with the other small dogs except when access to a food bowl might become contentious.  She was brought into rescue and immediately updated on her vaccinations and heartworm testing as well as being spayed and having a dental done... So now she's ready to go somewhere where she's get lots of love and attention..... She's only about 9#,,,,, so perfect for someone wanting a pint sized lap companion.November 6, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
TOBY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!!   This little fella is a real love bug!  I'm hoping one of the kind of adopters who call and ask for a sweet little lap dog will decide he's the right one.  He wants to be with his human all the time,,, so needs someone who is around home most of the time. He's thru his vetting,,,, he got a dental done this week and  is ready to go.  I figured a little preview might be a good idea so you got to see his "before pics".... now I have a couple newer ones to share We think Toby is about 10 years old and he weighs about 14 pounds.  So far, he's been happy to interact with every human he's met.  He's been fine with all the other dogs, but doesn't seem to have much interest in them, one way or the other,,,, he wants a person.  We haven't had any opportunity to see how he is with cats.November 6, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
This little fella needs to find a very special adopter!!  We don't know much about his background, but he came to us because his person had died,, and after the trauma of that event,, he had to deal with strange people and new places and other critters and it was all a bit much for him.... His default position when scared is to growl and snarl! We set him up in a nice quiet spot without anyone threatening on the other side of a partition, and just pretty much let him chill..... One day a week or two into this routine, it was like a light switch had been turned on!  He decided I was an okay person and the growling and snarling was replaced by an enthusiastic little dog spinning and jumping around and wanting to give kisses. He didn't initially want anything to do with the other small dogs, but after a bit he decided they were okay and he likes to go out in the area with them and explore,  he doesn't have much to do with them as far as playing, but there is no aggression.  We've also learned that he has a definite preference for the ladies.... Skipper needs a quiet environment with not a lot of folks coming and going and I would be concerned that kids wouldn't read his signals well enough  not to create a problem..... So we need to find just the right home for him.  He's not snapped or bit anyone here and we want that record to continue..... and it will require time and patience and  consistency to manage that. If you are up for the challenge and feel you have the situation and the commitment to give this little dog that stability he needs to feel safe and loved again.... we'd love to discuss it with you.November 6, 2024, 12:12 am

Nia

Chow Chow Husky

Female, Adult
Oak Ridge, TN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer * Nia is a gorgeous high energy chow/husky mix. She loves to hike and be outside!. She has a very high prey drive and will dig out of a fence at times if there is incentive (prey). She does fine with not going over a fence and so far has done very well with a woven wire fence. Nia appears housebroken and crate trained but she is not trustworthy with cats. Nia would do best in a home with no small children/younger children, a fenced back yard, an active experienced owner, no other female dogs, likely no cats, and maybe a male dog friend. Nia gets along with two boy dogs in her foster home, but not with the largest male dog, and definitely not with the female dog in the house. Nia's history is unknown as she was a stray. However, Nia is very slow to trust men. She warms up pretty quickly to most women.   Nia already knows: sit, down, wait, drop it and leave it. She is very smart! She leash walks with a martingale collar and can easily hike up to 4 or more miles. She also loves squeaky toys and will toss them up to play. True to breed, Nia has a double coat and will shed out. She does well with brushing though and also loves belly rubs.   Nia is about 5 yrs old, up to date on vaccines, spayed, and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. .

Story
See Courtesy Posting Disclaimer * 'Hey everyone! My name is Buddy! I'm a very distinguished gentleman who loves being coddled. I don't know a bad person, but I'm not a fan of other animals. They annoy me and always get in my bubble! I'm old and don't have a lot of history behind me, and I've been passed around a lot. I don't understand why... I go out of my way to be the goodest boy, yet here I am. I'm very quiet, I don't demand walks, I don't run away! In fact, I prefer being by my hooman and lounging around. I had recently found a family that seemed to love me, and I was really happy and relieved! However, my hooman became very frail and sick and started talking about having to put me in the pound! A friend of my hooman took me in to prevent me from going to that pound, and I thank her every day with my snorty kisses! I'm a very healthy 73-pound boy with some allergies and arthritis.... remember, I am old! My foster momma said I will go to my forever home with all the basics! A crate (which I don't need!), a bed, bowls and toys and a sweater... oh! And a huge bag of food! I would prefer a home with a big sunny yard, and I want to be the only furbaby! I do tolerate my current siblings, but that's only cause my foster momma is a firm woman that watches us like a hawk. She says all the time, 'You have manners, use em!' I do like to chew on things when I'm bored, but I won't chew on your things as long as you buy me lots of chew toys! ;) Won't you take me home? I'm in my golden years and I wanna settle in my furever home. I'll show you love like you've never known! I may not know a lot of cool tricks, but I know sit, and leave it, and wait! If you want to know more about me, don't be afraid to reach out to my foster momma! She can answer everything!' Buddy’s foster mom says: I don't want any money for the things going with Buddy, all I want is for him to be happy! I'm already in love with him and I know he will make someone very happy! I will be asking for a rehoming fee, which I plan to donate to SARG. I can't always answer my phone, but I always respond to texts when I'm available and I watch my emails constantly! Please reach out to me about Buddy anytime! My number is 865-202-7667 and my email is Illingworthlily@gmail.com. [Posted 7/22/2023] *Please be aware that this animal is a courtesy posting for the owner ONLY.
