Story
Hi! My name is Benji! I am chihuahua mix, approx. 10 lbs. and one hot mess!! I am approx. 5 years old and a "tripod" that has had a tough time and looking for that special fur-ever home. I have that feisty chihuahua disposition and separation anxiety issues. I need a quiet, patient, mature couple that understands small dog behavior and would like to add me to their pack..I do best with a companion or 2 (or more?) that are my size...I do not do well around bigger dogs and do not care at all for cats. I am house trained and if you miss my "signals", I do very well with a pad. Because of my limitations, a level house with few stairs are best... Once I am settled and "part of the pack" I am very affectionate and seek love and snuggles. I will play with my pack mates and humans. I walk well in harness and lead but can get tire as might be expected. I travel well in the car and enjoy being carried in a sling. If you have spare love in your heart for me, please call 423-442-1015 to set up an appointment as I am in a foster home.

Story
Samuel, an 8-year-old with a heart of gold, has a story that tugs at the heartstrings. Found wandering as a stray, this sweet older gentleman has seen a lot in his lifetime, including losing sight in one eye. Despite his challenges, Samuel's spirit remains unbroken, but he's in need of a loving home where he can comfortably live out his senior years. Imagine the warmth and joy he would bring into your life, offering unconditional love and gratitude for your kindness. Samuel isn't just looking for a place to stay; he's searching for a family to give all his love to. Welcoming him into your home means giving this deserving soul a second chance at happiness, where his golden years can truly shine. This sweet older gentleman was brought to us as a stray. If not reclaimed, he may be available after Jan 9th. Positive ID and proof of current rabies required for reclaim.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lilo was one of two active pups brought in as strays from Unicoi Church Rd. She is very sweet and well socialized. She is in a foster home and her foster mom says - She is a precious dog. She is very energetic, she is still in the puppy stage. I have three much smaller dogs and she has gotten along great with them. I have two cats as well. Lilo is curious about them, but has not really bothered them. She walks great on a leash. She's had no accidents in the home. I do have a fenced in yard, and she loves to be outside. She does still have some chewing tendencies so I am careful with pillows, slippers, etc... She does jump up on me when excited, but that has improved. Lilo's adoption fee is $125 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines, testing for heartworms, and deworming. We will also start her on heartworm prevention and flea/tick medication.
