Story
Skylar is just about the best dog ever! She is calm, sweet and listens well. She lives to please you! She is good with other dogs and gentle enough to be with children. She is crate trained and good on a leash. Skylar came into rescue after being attacked by a much bigger dog in the home. After spending 4 days in doggy hospital, her owner did not want to take her back to an unsafe home. After a short stay in the county shelter, she finally found her way to FOCCAS rescue. It took awhile, but she has healed now. Her attack hasn't caused any lingering effects. She is a happy, grateful dog. She will be a loyal and loving companion for any family or individual.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
Meet Diesel! Diesel is an amazing boy who is good with kids, other dogs, and can be cat tested! He is around 3.5 years old and weighs around ~60 lbs. He has always lived outside but we believe he could be trained to live indoors with some patience and a routine. Two of our fellow non-profit contacts found him hobbling along without any use of his back legs while they were out driving in Sweetwater, TN. They pulled over and upon speaking with his owners, found out that he was hit by a car over 2 weeks prior. Unfortunately, his family could not afford to take him to the vet to examine his injuries or figure out how to best support his mobility needs and they agreed to surrender him to our rescue! He saw the vet on May 14th and we learned that his back was broken in two places. We were originally told that he was likely paralyzed and will likely not re-gain function of his two back legs. The vet also discovered that Diesel was Heartworm positive. Since then, he underwent the fast-kill method to kill the Heartworms and has completed his treatment after 30 days of rest! He also went to see a specialist at UT who donated a special harness to Diesel’s foster family. After some at home therapy using this harness, Diesels is able to stand and even walk short distances unassisted! One of our amazing followers also donated the funds to get Diesel a custom wheelchair! This wheelchair will follow him to his forever home! Diesel is nothing short of a miracle and we are so excited to finally find a loving home for him.

Hello there, I'm Badger, a friendly pit bull mix, and I'm 3 years old. Life at the shelter is okay, but I dream of a home where I can show off my playful side. I love fetch and long walks, but I'm also a pro at cuddling. I'm pretty smart too and I'm eager to learn more tricks. I've got a lot of love to give and I'm hoping to find a forever friend who's ready to share lots of fun times and quiet moments with me. Adopting me means gaining a loyal companion who'll always be by your side.

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.
