Story
To begin the adoption process, please fill out the SOTB Adoption Application completely. Once your application has been submitted, our Adoptions Team will be in contact shortly to set up a phone interview and a home visit. We've been coming across some really nice dogs in the area shelters lately, Ivy is one of those gems. She's 10ish months old right around Thanksgiving, she's about 30lbs, easy-going nature and just an all around delightful gal. Ivy gets along well with other dogs, she's housebroken and crate trained, she's laid back and has lovely house manners, and makes friends wherever she goes. As for what breed she is, it's anyone's guess. She has that German Shepherd mix coloration, but she's got a much shorter coat and is really quite small. Her face look like some sort of small breed mix, maybe pug and beagle had some say in her pedigree. We're going to guess a solid half dozen or more breeds are in there, and every last one of them contributed nothing bug good dog energy to this lovely soul. If you're looking for a safe, social, tolerant and easy kiddo that'd be a perfect first dog, Ivy's your gal. She's going to go unnoticed with her Plain Jane appearance, so do us a favor and show your friends and family who are dog shopping, she's going to check all the boxes for a lot of peoples' wishlist. Wondering how to adopt? Visit southofthebully.com and fill out an adoption application, we'll take it from there!Our adoption fee is $300. This covers spay/neuter, microchip, microchip registration, all age appropriate vaccines, and any needed vet care. November 15, 2024, 6:10 pm

Story
Active Axel is a handsome golden male German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees mix who was born on February 11th, 2023 and is still a puppy in every way. He is one of six siblings that survived from a litter of 12. Our guy Axel weighs approximately 90 lbs, and is very GSD smart loving to be next to his humans.  This huge puppy is full of energy and he will fit perfectly in a home where there is a lot of activity, a fenced yard and people who love the BIG DOGS! He really likes walking, hiking, and just a ton of fun with activity. He also loves water and treats the water trough as his own personal spa. We recommend a home with a fence that is a minimum of 5 feet tall.   We do not suggest he go to a home with small children, or farm animals simply because he has no experience with them.  He hangs with his siblings and does well playing with them and also just enjoying their company.  He does need to eat separately for dinner as he protects his food from the other dogs due to early starvation. Handsome Axel is fully vetted, neutered and microchipped and he is kennel and crate trained for quiet time.  This boy needs some time and attention from a caring and dog savvy owner.  He would love to cuddle with you and be your adored companion.  He has such potential…..such love and such a need to grow and evolve into a fine companion in life.  Please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in this big baby!  PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Gemma is our super smart and happy German Shepherd girl that is a real gem of a dog. This girl is 6 years old and weighs in on the smaller side of a GSD at just 60 pounds.  She is a genuinely curious and happy girl that has all the right measures of playfulness and lazy cuddly time to her personality.  Her favorite things are stuffed toys and tennis balls. This girl is a 'chill' girl and loves to take lots of naps during the day. She has great manners, knows basic commands, is crate trained and housebroken.   She would do great in a home with or without other dogs but we are told that she is a NO CAT type of dog.  She would like to hang out with children older than 10 years of age and on the calm side.  Gemma is ready to find her forever home where she can greet you with her tail wagging and a happy face that lets you know you are important in her life.   If you are interested please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com     PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.  November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This boy is called Kowboy Kirby and he is a one-year-old 65 lb black and tan German Shepherd who doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body about anything or anyone. He is clueless as to why he should be, so he isn't. Kowboy Kirby is just kind of a goofball that is intelligent and needs to continue to have someone surround him with good guidance and boundaries and the ability to polish him into a fabulous dog. Training is necessary for any German Shepherd and especially for this young boy who hasn't been trained starting early in puppyhood. Only in the past 2 months has he had guidance and a schedule with consistency. He used to not tolerate a wire crate but now he's fine in a plastic crate and he tolerates that. It will be necessary for him not to be left loose in the house when people are gone. He'll get into too much mischief as most dogs will do. Kirby is really a special boy to be as nice and sweet as he is considering the fact that he was found in the middle of a highway during a rainstorm back in July. It was determined that he actually had been given away by someone at a Walmart. These animals should never be handed around like this, but it seems like it's happening more and more. Kirby is housebroken and he walks really nicely on a leash if you're consistent doing it everyday. This is a diamond in the rough kind of guy and we are hoping that you will see the diamond and take him home. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com And mention where you live, city and state. We transport outside Tennessee to the Northeast as well as doing adoptions locally where we are located in Nashville. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 7, 2024, 10:11 pm

  **Meet Emmett! **  A truly handsome one year old German Shepard mix boy that weighs 64 pounds and who might be headed back to the shelter soon when his foster time is up. Emmett is an affectionate, playful pup who’s ready to find his forever family! In just one week with his foster family, this sweet boy’s personality has blossomed, and we know he’s going to be an amazing companion.  &#226&#156&#168 **What Makes Emmett Special?**  He's a Training Superstar that is housebroken, leash-trained (with a little room for improvement), and already knows how to sit!

He loves exploring the great outdoors, playing with other pups, and snuggling up with his favorite humans—anytime, anywhere!   **Kid-Friendly**: Emmett is gentle with children under 10, making him a great addition to families of all ages and sizes.     PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 19, 2024, 4:27 pm

Story
This Handsome Boy is T Bone! He has been living in an outdoor pen since the passing of his owner. His pen mate has been adopted and T Bone is hoping to find home where he will be loved, protected and cared for in his adult and golden years. T Bone's owner was an elderly gentleman who loved him but was unable to care for him indoors so I am unsure of his house training but he is super smart and a quick learner. He is very loving and energetic and if you love to walk or hike he is your Boy! He walks well on a leash but due to his energy level he would do best with adults and older children. He would love a family who has a fenced yard or lives on property where he can have supervised running time. He would do best as the only Dog so that he doesn't have to share your attention. My husband and I were close friends with T Bone's owner but have four Dogs of our own so we are hoping to find him the active, loving family that he deserves.

Story
Tony is a 8 month old puppy. One of his siblings did a DNA test and they are mostly a mix of German shepherd, cattle dog and pitbull. We don’t anticipate him being larger than 60 lbs full grown. Tony has been in rescue since early May, and we can’t believe he hasn’t found his forever family yet! He is a very good puppy! He’s not overly destructive and listens well. Because of Tony’s past it does take him a little longer to warm up but once he’s comfortable he will come to you and ask for pets.Tony is what we call a dog’s dog, if it was up to him he’d play with his friends all day long! Tony’s ideal home will have a fence for security and another confident dog to show him the way. We know his perfect family has to be out there!

Story
Oliver was found by Columbia Animal Services on 2/1/24. He is believed to be about 4 years old weighing just under 80lbs and was neutered at the shelter on 2/9/24. Columbia Animal Services shelter is running at almost max capacity frequently and dogs that do not get adopted out risk euthanasia at the shelter. We are currently fostering Oliver to get him out of that environment. Oliver is very smart, he knows commands like sit, lay-down, shake, stay. He is house trained and has not needed to be crated when we are not home. He gets along well (for the most part) with our 2 dogs. He is also amazing with our 9yo son. They bonded immediately and Oliver follows him everywhere and sleeps in his room.

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Name: Honey Breed: German Shepherd Age: 4 and 1/2 years old Background: Honey was found running around Blythe Landing and was finally caught after nearly 2 weeks of effort. She was adopted shortly after but returned because she did not get along with their cat. Personality: When she first got here, she was timid, scared, and anxious. She is now much more confident and comfortable. Her tail wags when people enter her room and she gets excited when she sees the leash! She is sweet and takes treats gently. She appears house trained and knows "sit". She is calm in her kennel, preferring to nap on a soft bed. It doesn't appear that she knows how to play, but hopefully that will change soon. She has not yet been dog tested, but reacts strongly when dogs bark at her. She is also not cat friendly. We always recommend a meet and greet if you have another dog at home. Ideal Home: She may appreciate a quiet, calm home while she decompresses. It may take some time for her to really act like a dog as she comes out of her shell. She would enjoy a lot of space and activity and would not benefit from apartment living. Final Thoughts: Honey is very smart and well-behaved. She is sweet and enjoys being around people, and she would certainly love someone to keep her active!
