Max is an amazing dog!! He is deaf but so smart. He’s only 1 and really needs someone patient and who truly has time for him. He gets anxious when he can’t see you and will search. He loves to play and has plenty of energy. Any family would be so blessed to have him.

Story
Sadie is a 6-year-old, 85-pound improbable mix of German Shepherd and Shar Pei. This is a confirmed and not speculative breed mix. Go figure. Sadie is not the most attractive dog we have. I get this. This is the dog equivalent of what happens when you cross a supermodel and a rock star. Genetics when only one parent is leggy and gorgeous is sometimes less kind to the offspring and you end up with awkwardness. That's where we are here - tiny head with strange ears on a giant body with a little tail. When she runs, she kind of resembles a demented velociraptor and she is all awkward angles. I am sure you are reading this and are going to tell me how pretty she is and while I appreciate that and love her for what she is, this dog next to a golden retriever is going to get zero attention. It is an absolute fact that people are shallow and it's why weather forecasters on your news shows are always wearing skin-tight dresses and are not 55-year-old, size 18 women who are doing the actual forecasting. Sadie is a very good girl and she deserves a home. Sadie has done well in a home with other dogs, but she prefers they be mellow and not jump on her. She is not good with cats and she would eat them. Sadie is impeccably well-trained and she knows a lot of commands. She is housebroken and well-mannered and she is a charming dog one-on-one. She is also a powerful athlete that has more in common with her German Shepherd side of things and she loves her walks. She needs 20 minutes of hard running in a back yard daily and then she's happy. She is full of kisses and does not know a stranger as she loves all people. Given how strong this dog is, kids over 12 would be fine. This is a fantastic dog for the right home.

Wookie

American Pit Bull Terrier

lavergne, TN
Size

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Wookie has truly flourished in his foster home, quickly picking up on potty training and settling into his routine. This low-riding, big-hearted boy is a couch potato at heart—some might even say he resembles a baked potato! While he enjoys nice strolls, he’s definitely not a jogging partner. Wookie absolutely loves stuffed animals (mostly for the joy of shredding them) and thinks treats are the greatest thing ever. He has successfully completed heartworm treatment and is now heartworm-free, ready to find a forever home where he can lounge, snack, and soak up all the love.  March 9, 2025, 5:50 pm

Story
Brownie came to us as a foster dog the person that was supposed to be fostering him is no longer living with us. And we can no longer care for him he is a good dog and needs lots of love and training I have been trying to house train him and he's starting to get the hang of it, as I have other dogs that are teaching him, but sometimes he still has accidents he does love to play and he still has his puppy teeth so it does still kind of hurt if he nibbles on you. He is a really good dog that needs lots of training, that I do not have time for, as I have several animals to care for myself that are mine...
