Story
Meet Pearl Jam AKA P.J.! P.J. was rescued from a hoarding situation by another rescue and we offered to help him find a home. He has been waiting for a FURever home since 10/2023 for some crazy reason. P.J. is your typical happy go lucky, sweet Beagle/Bassett mix boy! He is friendly with all people and MOST other dogs (as long as they don’t try to eat his food). He is around 2-3 years old and weighs 37 pounds. He is a cute (chunky)“low rider”! He is neutered, current on all shots, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and current on heartworm preventative. He is crate trained, but does need outside to potty regularly until he settles in. Pearl Jam either needs to have a secure fenced in yard to play/potty in (not to live in) OR someone willing to walk him several times a day. He seems like the type that would be fine with or without another dog. He loves being near his people and will let you know when he’s done being alone too! lol Best in a home without cats, as he occasionally will chase. The adoption fee is $150 to an approved and loving home. All vet records will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption. To apply to adopt go to our website www.fureverfurkids.com *We do home checks for each pet before approving an adoption.* The application is to be completed prior to meeting the pet(s) you are interested in adopting. If they are still on the page, they are still more than likely still available. We do keep our website and Petfinder updated regularly. Once a pet is adopted from our rescue, they MUST be returned to us, if you cannot keep them. If you plan on not keeping them their whole lives, please do not apply. Thank you for looking at our rescues in need of amazing homes!

Story
Meet Oliver! **We are looking for a home within 2 hours of Chattanooga, TN because he’s not a huge fan of car rides.** Oliver loves to give hugs! Oliver was surrendered because unfortunately he was being picked on by the other dogs in his family. They were afraid he would eventually be hurt or worse. He’s a very good boy with other people and pets that won’t pick on him! He is around 5 years old and weighed 52 pounds when first brought into rescue and was way too thin. Now he is a normal weight around 65 pounds, where he should be. He is neutered, updated on all shots, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm prevention. Oliver will NEED a fenced in yard (to play and potty, not to live in) and a dog friend that is kind to him will be a plus. Please understand the need for constant grooming upkeep with a poodle. Oliver is super playful at times and is a jumper/hugger, so no kids under 5 that he could accidentally knock over (or people with bad balance). The adoption fee is $300 to an approved and loving home. All vet records will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption. To apply to adopt go to our website www.fureverfurkids.com *We do home checks for each pet before approving an adoption.* The application is to be completed prior to meeting the pet(s) you are interested in adopting. If they are still on the page, they are still more than likely still available. We do keep our website and Petfinder updated regularly. Once a pet is adopted from our rescue, they MUST be returned to us, if you cannot keep them. If you plan on not keeping them their whole lives, please do not apply. Thank you for looking at our rescues in need of amazing homes!

Story
Meet Trigger Trigger was dumped at a friend of mines moms’ house in August 2024. He is a very good boy and gets along well with people and other dogs. Not sure about cats as the fosters are allergic to kitties, but I would imagine he would be fine since he’s seems so sweet. He does have an old leg injury, that has healed, but he limps slightly. He is around 2 years old and around 10 pounds. Trigger is neutered, updated on all shots, and heartworm tested negative. He will need to be kept on heartworm prevention his whole life, like all dogs should. The adopt fee to cover his care and vetting is $100 to an approve and loving home. All vet records will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption. You can text/call his foster mom Joyce with any questions about Trigger since she knows him best. Her number is: (423) 715-2050 Please be considerate of the time of day if calling.

Story
Meet Bear! We thought we found the perfect home for him around May of 2024 with his BFF Raven, unfortunately the adopter was not able to keep either of them due to housing issues. Raven has been adopted, now this poor guy deserves a FURever home. Bear is around 3-4 years old and weighs around 85 pounds. He is great with just about anyone and anything! He is a very happy-go-lucky, fun boy and obviously LOVES food! He also loves to fetch and play with toys. If you like laying on a couch watching movies, playing tug, going for car rides, or even hiking, this may be the boy for you! He is house/crate trained, but as always expect a few accidents in the beginning. A fence is required because this boy loves to play fetch! Bear is neutered, current on all shots (including a 3 year rabies shot), heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm prevention. He MUST be kept on heartworm prevention all of his life! NO EXCEPTIONS! Bears adoption fee is $75. All vet records and will be given to the adopter at the time of adoption.
