Story
This girl ended in the shelter due to her owner being arrested and not being able to find her a home. Gracie is a great dog who has fit into her foster home quite well. She is learning about cats and being on a leash. She is housebroken with a dog door but was also house trained without one. She is a bit of energy so will need an active family to keep up! She is friendly and has gotten a long with other dogs of various sizes really well. She loves to play and is pure fun! She is located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders.

He loves to play with other dogs (he is with dogs his size, not sure about smaller pups) and is a good boy. He is hoping this year to find a forever home.

Story
Here is a sweet boy who is doing well in a foster home. He is house trained with a doggy door but will need to be taught a different routine if there is no door. He does well with cats and other dogs. He does like to jump so small kids will need to be careful. He must be kept busy as he does like to chew and have things to do. He does appreciate sleeping on a human bed but is fine on a dog bed also. He does well on a leash and on car rides. He is just a big sweet boy who is needing a family who can keep him occupied (farm, walks, outdoor activities, etc....) He just wants his forever family and we know there's one out there. He is located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders.

Story
Serena was brought to us when the dog pound she was at had to be evacuated due to a chemical fire. This is a girl who needs a family that likes to throw a ball!! Serena is a fun dog who's primary focus is playing fetch and hoarding toys. She is not concerned about anything else really. She shares a space with another dog and has done fine. We have noticed that she does not like smaller dogs but does well with others her size. We don't see any aggression or meanness in her, does fine on a leash and is a nice gal who would do great with a yard. She might be house trained and be okay with cats. She is ready to go and find a new home with some fun fetch time ahead!! She is located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders.
