Cleo was adopted from us a few years ago and got returned recently due to not getting along with the baby in the home. Cleo can be reactive with meeting other dogs but with proper interactions, she can do well. But not matter what, Cleo has remained sweet and extremely loving. She's a wiggle butt when meeting new people, hoping to impress her forever family. She is a curious girl that loves a good adventure.

Story
This little land seal is going to steal your heart! Nelly lived with children of all ages in her first home. She is also housetrained and crate-trained! Nervous Nelly takes some time to warm up to strangers (she's just scared) so multiple visits will be required since we want her to feel comfortable going home with her new family. Nelly does great with other dogs and plays all day long with her shelter friends!

Story
Patty has been here for TOO LONG! Patty came to us years ago with 8 puppies and being bred for all 5 years of her life, at the time. All puppies were adopted quickly but Patty was confused why she was left behind. Due to her past, she can take some time to trust you. She is extremely food motivated and that's all she needs to like you, treats! She can use some leash training, but she is very smart, and we have not a doubt that she will kill it. Once she loves you, she loves you forever. She loves playing with sticks and tennis balls. Please give Patty a chance, she will make it worth it. Patty is waiting to love on her person and to finally call a real home, hers.

Story
Gail arrived here a year ago as a very scared stray and we just can’t believe she is still here. She has the most beautiful eyes, and you can see her desire to make you happy. It is in her soul-searching gaze as she looks at you. Once she is comfortable and knows she can trust you, she is a happy girl who brings so much to the table- all the sweetness and then some! She does very well on a leash and is a pleasure to walk. She’s got lots of energy to chase ALL the balls (her favorite thing to do)- with some even left over for zoomies! Due to her energy level we do ask that she be the only pet in the household and no small children. She is very bright and an excellent listener. She knows most commands, and we feel strongly that she may be able to do your taxes if you start working with her now. Very smart gal! Come adopt Gail and have a very best friend for life!

Oh Onyx- how we so wish to find you a home. She was abandoned when her owners just decided they did not want to take her with them. How long she sat wondering what happened, we don’t know. She would prefer to be an only pet, but does seem to do ok with some male dogs. Although a little shy at first, Onyx will warm up if some bones are involved! We have come to find that she just adores snuggling into pillows- so we know you’ll definitely have a great cuddle buddy for those lazy days.She is a clean girl- no destroying toys or making messes for this girly! She is a tidy girl and does well with basic commands. Come adopt Onyx and snuggle away the winter blues! How could anyone say no to that cute puppy face?!

Beetle came to us as a stray, so we only know what he has told us so far. Beetle is a young guy that would love to run around and play. He could use some basic training but is super smart and determined. Beetle likes to cuddle and give you all the love he has to give. He is very agile and would love to be able to get all of his energy out. Beetle is very stressed and overwhelmed at the shelter and cannot wait till someone comes to take him out of here!

This boy here is Charlie. Charlie came into our Rescue in the very beginning of us opening. Charlie was adopted fairly quickly and has been with his family up until recently. Recently something has happened to his family and the other family members didn't want poor Charlie so they decided to take him to a shelter and surrender him. Which it states in our contract that they aren't supposed to be surrendered to a shelter and must come back to the rescue. Fast forward the shelter reached out to us last week and we are taking our boy back. He will be here within the next week. Charlie is current on his vaccines, neutered and microchipped as well. Charlie gets along very well with other dogs and he loves everyone he meets. Charlie was in foster care before he was adopted with 3 other dogs and young children. Charlie is looking for his forever home once again. ##2098634##

Jackson is a fun and loving full of energy good boy. Unfortunately my husband and my work schedules don’t allow us to have much time to spend with him. He’s about 2 years old and we had gotten him from a friend when he was about 8 months old. Looking for someone who’s going to love him and give him his best life.

Story
Luna is a very sweet and loving girl. She is very friendly and loves to cuddle and play. She was rescued 8 years ago in Charleston, SC and has grown up living with a cat and dogs. She is almost 9 years old now, in good health, and all vaccines are up to date as of this February 2025. I've had a change in job and living situation and can no longer have pets. Need to rehome the dog ASAP. Ideally she will find a home that has fenced in yard so she is able to roam around freely and enjoy the outdoors some of the day.

Story
This dog is a courtesy listing (not in the AARF program) but we will be reviewing applications and helping the owner find the right home for BINGO. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. His adoption is FREE to approved home. Looking for a loyal companion? Meet Bingo! This 2-year-old mix of American Pit Bull Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, and American Staffordshire Terrier will win your heart with his devotion and playful nature. Weighing in at 40 pounds, Bingo is a medium-sized bundle of joy who loves nothing more than to play fetch and chew on his beloved stuffed toys and Nylabones. Bingo's unique charm shines through in his quirky habits. He absolutely adores ice cubes and will eagerly run to the fridge with you for a treat. He also has a soft spot for pup cups from Starbucks. Despite being mostly deaf, Bingo is a smart cookie and responds well to hand commands like place, sit, down, and stay. He's a graduate of The Dog Wizard of Knoxville, and his training can continue with his new family. Bingo is fully potty trained and will ring bells hanging on the door to let you know when he needs to go out. He's also crate trained, making bedtime and alone time a breeze. Although he enjoys the company of his person, he can be a bit anxious around sudden movements due to his hearing loss. Bingo thrives in a one-person household where he can be the star of the show. If you're ready for a sweet, smart, and devoted companion who will bring joy and excitement into your life, Bingo is the perfect match for you. Give this lovable pup a forever home where he can truly shine!    Interested in adopting?
