Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › A sweet and handsome boy looking for his new home!Buddy is approximately 3 years old. He's great with people who can keep up with him. He's high energy outside but loves his crate for his downtime. He LOVES playing fetch/catch and he LOVES to play with other dogs. Be aware, if your dog is territorial, they may butt heads.  Due to Buddy's size and energy level he would be best in a home with older children or ones who are used to larger high energy dogs. Buddy isn't a fan of cats, so it's best to go to a home where there are none. He's been through training, is 100% crate trained, and loves to be loved on. Buddy is heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, preventatives, neutered, and microchipped.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 21, 2025, 10:53 am

Story
Frankie is putting together her requests for the perfect family. Not to be too picky, but she's sure a big toy box filled with balls and frisbees and tug toys is top priority. And she's hoping for an active family that will make her a part of their adventures. She's also super stoked about teaching her new family to do tricks - the most important one is for the human to dole out a treat when she sits. She's already taught some of the humans at the shelter this trick, so lots of treats is on her "perfect family" list. Frankie loves a massage after some outdoor playtime, so a nice yard and a family with lots of love will make Frankie a very happy girl!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Update - Waylon spent the day in Nashville, visiting shops and meeting new people. He was perfect! He was curious but not rambunctious while in the shops. Waylon met new people politely, enjoying pets but not overly enthusiastically! He was calm when seeing other dogs in town. Simply a perfect dog to take out on the town! If you are looking for a dog that will enjoy outings with you, come meet Waylon. He is a gem! We love Waylon and think you will too! He is as fun-loving as they come. Waylon adores outdoor adventures, especially splashing in creeks during walks, turning even the simplest outing into a joyful exploration. His playful spirit shines brightest when he's jumping high in the air to catch balls, a sight that never fails to bring smiles and laughter. For a chunky guy, he's very athletic! One of Waylon's favorite pastimes is learning new tricks, especially when there are treats involved-he's always eager to show off his latest skills with a wagging tail and a big grin. He will be a fun dog to teach new tricks to. After a little exercise, Waylon is ready to settle in for some lovin'. He is very sweet and affectionate with his human friends, leaning in close for pets and sharing kisses. His previous owners stated that Waylon loves car rides and is house trained. Waylon has made several doggy friends at the shelter. He loves to chase and be chased. He has mastered a terrific spin move and does somersaults to keep his playmates guessing! Such a fun boy! Waylon's goofy charm and zest for life make every moment with him an adventure waiting to happen. Waylon is ready to bring laughter and love into your home.

Story
Who knew - we have an actual Greek god at the shelter!! Meet Zeus, just like the Greek god known for his power and enthusiasm, Zeus brings boundless energy to everything he does. His favorite pastime? Playing with squeaky toys-especially his beloved Kong Wubba. He has such fun tossing and pouncing on it so it will make crazy squeaky noises! You can't help but laugh at his antics! This playful pup chases after balls with gusto, and when it's time for belly rubs, he rolls over and clings to his toy, all while sporting a big grin. Zeus is a master of affection, too. When he seeks attention, he'll nudge his big head into your lap, leaning in for pets that are hard to resist-just be prepared for his excitement to bowl you over! He's also eager to learn new tricks, especially when tasty treats are involved. With a heart full of love and a tail that wags like a whirlwind, Zeus is ready to find his forever home.

Story
Looking to liven up your life? Rudy can help with that - he lives for playtime and pets! If you're a fan of fetch, Rudy will be your perfect match. This guy loves nothing more than chasing after balls and frisbees, leaping into the air to catch them, and then politely sitting as he eagerly waits for you to throw them again. His enthusiasm and athleticism shine when he's in action, and he's sure to bring tons of excitement to your playtime. Rudy's zest for life doesn't stop with play! He loves attention just as much, greeting you with a full-body wiggle when it's time for pets. He'll happily roll around, making sure you don't miss a single spot. His joy is infectious, and he's a fast learner too! Rudy's eager to please and quick to sit or lie down for treats, making him an enthusiastic student. He would be so much fun to train to do a variety of tricks. Your friends will be amazed! Rudy was found lost and confused on a country road but showed his loving nature by hopping into a kind stranger's car. He came to the shelter underweight with inflamed skin, but with lots of TLC, he's gaining weight and feeling better each day. Rudy would thrive with an active family who's ready for adventure. Could that be you? If you are interested in learning more about Rudy, apply at the link below and an adoption counselor can reach out to you directly. https://www.bchumane.org/adoption-application/
