Story
Cosmo is relatively new to Bonaparte's Retreat and we pulled the sweet little guy after he was dumped at the shelter (with a Christmas sweater on!) matted, full of fleas, smelling awful, filthy with long nails and having an obvious limp and injury in his back leg. We have had him checked by the vet and most of his skin issues have been remedied with a medicated shampoo which is awesome! He does need to have a forever family that understands that he has some physical limitations with one of his legs so flooring and helping him up and down stairs will be key. But Cosmo is a sweet boy who LOVES people, looking out the window, being near you, and is potty trained to go on a pee pad near the door! He also seems good with cats!January 23, 2025, 4:14 pm

Story
Meet the cutest little guy around! He is a compact ball of love and we call him our "Walmart Greeter". Carson's person died a couple of years ago and he is needing a new home. Carson is a happy little guy who loves everyone and gets along great with other dogs. Carson is playful, housebroken, snuggly, likes to play with toys and would love a family to call his own again. This little guy is part Shih Tzu part.... Bassett?? A short, stocky little man for sure. Don't let those little legs fool you though, he likes to run and play with the big dogs. Carson is housebroken, so the hard work is done for you! He is an adult with a lot of life left! Let him snuggle up to you and you can heal his little heart. If you'd like to adopt Carson, please fill out our online application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Carson is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once his adoption is finalized.

Story
Meet Oreo Cookie, his transformation is nothing short of a miracle. Cookie lived for 2 1/2 years in a crate completely neglected and living in his own urine and feces. When he was brought to the rescue, we immediately knew his condition was far beyond anything that we could deal with here so we rushed him off to the emergency care hospital. This was the worst case of neglect that we had ever seen. He was immediately sedated and the team worked on him for 6 hours. They removed 4 pounds of crusted urine and feces from his little body. When he woke up, he bit bit everyone in sight! When we picked him up the next morning, we didn't even recognize him! His little tail was wagging as they told us to be very cautious but we knew there was hope! We brought him home to let him settle into his new environment. He had never had freedom and all he knew about humans was what they had done to him in the past. It took about 2 weeks for his playful wonderful personality to emerge and we knew he was going to be just fine! He is now the most loveable playful little guy that you will ever meet! He has been neutered and vaccinated. He is also heart worm negative and microchipped. We have before pics and videos upon request but they are too graphic to post here. "Cookie" is now ready for his own forever family, could that be you? ADOPTION FEE $650

Story
Max is a super sweet, Shichon puppy (mix of Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise). He was born 7/20/24. He is CKC registered. Will come with application to transfer ownership to your name. He is crate and house trained (with a bell). Will come with a crate, king bed, tons of toys, some basic puppy supplies, leash, and his current food. He is non-shedding. Loves to play with my 2 young kids and has not shown any aggression, aside from normal puppy playing. Unfortunately our landlord has changed their mind about allowing pets and moving is not feasible for us right now.
