Story
Introducing Chloe, the spirited 7-year-old rescue terrier with a heart as big as her 70-pound frame. This lovable canine companion is a cherished member of her foster family. With a zest for life, Chloe's favorite pastime is embracing the great outdoors, where she can be found either playfully frolicking in the grass, basking in the sun, or on her favorite spot - the cozy couch. Chloe is a well-mannered, house-trained beauty, adored for her affinity for both adventure and relaxation. She's a pro at the art of lounging but equally enthusiastic about exploring new places, especially if it involves a thrilling car ride. Her kennel-trained demeanor showcases her discipline and intelligence, making her a delight to be around. One of Chloe's most endearing qualities is her love for company, especially when it comes to puppies - she joyfully engages in playtime, demonstrating her gentle nature. This sweet girl has a special fondness for other dogs, particularly those who are more submissive. A meet-and-greet with potential furry friends is recommended, as Chloe's gentle nature truly shines in the company of like-minded companions. Nothing brings out her contentment more than belly rubs and the warmth of a caring hand. Chloe's boundless affection and playful spirit make her not just a pet but a cherished family member, reminding everyone lucky enough to know her that rescue dogs like her have an extraordinary capacity for love and happiness. She is fully vetted, heartworm negative & on preventatives, spayed, & microchipped. She is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX.

Story
Tyson is available in TX! Meet Tyson, affectionately known as "TY TY BOOTY," a 3-year-old pit bull who is really starting to come out of his shell. Tyson has a laid-back demeanor but enjoys a playful romp with other dogs in a little pittie rumble. While he hasn't shown off any zoomies yet, his curiosity keeps him eager to explore. Tyson is incredibly food and treat-driven, quickly hopping into his crate at bedtime in anticipation of a reward. Though he doesn't like being left alone and prefers to stay close to his people, Tyson is a sweet-natured pup with a hint of puppy mischief. He has a particular fondness for oven mitts and the occasional Amazon package, but with a bone to chew on, he settles down quietly. Tyson has been an easy foster. He might be a bit anxious around small children and large crowds but is wonderfully gentle with his foster family's 13-year-old autistic son. Tyson is looking for a loving home where he can be a loyal and wonderful companion. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Story
Ginger is a resilient and loving dog who has come a long way from her days on the streets. When first rescued, Ginger was severely malnourished, but with dedicated care and plenty of love, she blossomed into the healthy, joyful dog she is today. Despite her rough start, Ginger's spirit shines in her affectionate nature and deep bond with her favorite people. One unique aspect of Ginger's appearance is her cropped ears, cut too short by her previous owners. Her fosters like to joke that maybe they secretly wanted a cat, and Ginger, with her unique look, carries it well! She's a wonderful snuggler, always ready to curl up beside you for a nap or lean in for extra affection. When it's playtime, Ginger transforms into an eager fetch partner, and when she's not running around, she loves basking in the sun. Ginger loves affection but should not be in a house with children as she can play too rough. Ginger is also housebroken, making her easy to care for at home. She's great in a crate for a couple of hours, especially if she has a chew toy or a snack-filled Kong to keep her entertained. She also loves car rides and would make a fun, loyal road trip buddy. Although Ginger enjoys human company, she prefers to be the only dog in the household, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Ginger is ready to bring warmth, loyalty, and joy to a forever home that appreciates her unique charm and affectionate personality. Ginger is being fostered in Seguin, TX. She can be adopted in other states (except NH and MA due to their quarantine laws). Her adoption fee is $250 & her transport fee is $300 if adopted out of state.

Meet Alice! Alice is a sweet and goofy 2.5-year-old Pitbull mix who has overcome a rough past to become a loving and playful companion. Spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, Alice is ready to find her forever family! She lives for belly rubs and will happily wiggle non-stop to get more. She’s also a toy lover who adores carrying her favorite stuffed toys everywhere she goes. Alice is 100% house-trained, never having an accident in her foster home, and enjoys sunbathing and exploring the yard during her outdoor breaks. Once she’s added you to her “trusted list,” she’ll shower you with love, cuddles, and even try to be your 56-pound lap dog! She’s crate trained and does best in a heavy-duty crate, as she likes to feel secure. While her leash manners are still a work in progress, her enthusiasm for life and love is unmatched. Alice is looking for a patient and loving family who will give her the care and understanding she needs to thrive. “You can’t change a dog’s past, but you can rewrite their future.” Could Alice be part of yours?

Story
Mabel is loving mixed breed dog that enjoys snuggling. She is quick to learn and follows commands well. While Mabel is good with people, she would need to be the only pet in the home. She enjoys relaxing, but would also love to join you for a hike or play in the yard. She does LOVE playing and will let you know when she wants some tug of war time. She is gentle and sweet but at the same time she can turn on the energy! Mabel does enjoy her safe space crate and is good with her bladder control so she is ok with you not being home all the time, but will love a romp in the yard when you get home.

Story
Baby, a heart-wrenching 3-year-old pit bull mix, was on the brink of losing her life when we rescued her from Lifeline Animal Shelter. With mere minutes to spare, we pulled her from the euthanasia list, saving her from an uncertain fate. When we first met Baby, she was one of the saddest dogs we had ever seen. Her eyes held a deep sorrow, a reflection of the hardships she had endured. But beneath her somber exterior, we saw a spark of hope, a longing for love and a chance at a better life. We believe that Baby deserves a loving family who will cherish her for the gentle and playful soul she truly is. She's a big girl with a heart of gold, eager to bond with her new human companions. With patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love, Baby can blossom into the happiest dog you've ever known. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and playful companion, Baby is the perfect match for you. Please consider opening your heart and home to this deserving girl.

Story
Noelle is a beautiful brindle Terrier and Pit Bull mix who is approximately 2-3 years old. She has been a stray dog that we've been caring for since December 28, 2024. Despite her rough start, she has shown herself to be a sweet and gentle soul. Temperament: With People: Noelle is friendly towards both familiar and unfamiliar people. She seems eager to please and has a gentle demeanor. With Other Dogs: She is generally aloof around other dogs and hasn't had much interaction with other species like cats or small mammals. Behavior: Noelle is quiet and has not shown any aggressive behavior. She can be a bit hard to persuade, but with confident leadership and a loving environment, she is sure to thrive. Health: Noelle had some skin issues when we found her, but with medication, antibiotics, and anti-fungal baths, she is on the mend and her skin is almost healed. Her bloodwork from the vet came back great! Special Quirks: Noelle’s teeth chatter when she is excited. She loves cuddles and is very quiet, making her a great companion for many different home environments. She hates cold weather and would benefit from living inside due to her sensitivity. Training: House-trained with zero accidents. Leash walking and crate trained, though she sometimes resists going into the crate. Needs more exposure and training as she gets acclimated to new experiences like car rides, stairs, and baths. Daily Routine: Noelle spends most of her time in a heated garage due to her sensitivity to cold weather. She enjoys resting, cuddling, and seeks affection throughout the day. Feeding schedule is 8 AM, noon, and 5 PM, with plans to reduce to 2 meals a day as she reaches a healthier weight. Ideal Home: Noelle would thrive in a home where she can live inside and be part of the family. She may do well with a confident dog to help her adjust to new experiences. She needs a family who can dedicate time to her training and offer her a loving environment.

Please contact Adoptions (adoptions@thalppc.com) for more information about this pet.  Farina has been waiting for a home for over a year now! We're not even sure why other than she is one of hundreds of dogs in the Chattanooga area rescue system who are also waiting. She is a 2 year old Boxer mix that weighs 50 pounds and, as you can see, she has the most adorable underbite. She was surrendered to a county shelter very pregnant and gave birth to 8 puppies 2 days later. We were happy to give them all a safe place to go so they joined us at PPC when the puppies were only 6 days old. We still have one of her puppies available (Petey) who has also been waiting for a long time.Farina recently went on Local 3 Plus You and showed her lounging personality on the big screen. We'll share the video when it's available, but for now, here is more about this special girl...Farina is a princess and absolutely will not join you on outdoor adventures. So, that means she’d be a fabulous companion to a fellow homebody like herself OR, she’ll snooze while you get your outdoor activities in without her. She loves her stuffy toys and will carry them around in her mouth when she is feeling playful...and when she sleeps, she sleeps hard! You could seriously vacuum around her and it wouldn't disturb her.Farina is insanely friendly. To all humans. LOVES them. Never met a stranger…..for real. She's goofy, charismatic and loves a belly rub. She sits like a human in a chair and can hang and listen to any and all conversations, watch any movie or TV show with you and never complain. She’s truly the nicest person you’ve ever met stuck in a dog body. She does not care for other dogs. Simply keep her home, let her lounge in her own house/ yard and don’t invite your friends dog’s over (but definitely invite your friends over……she’ll welcome them all with open paws!). Farina would truly be one fantastic pal. Hanging with people is her love language. She’s growing weary of life in a kennel (all those other dogs…..bleh) and would love to make you smile every day.  The adoption fee is $135 which includes a free veterinary exam within 2 weeks of adoption at local participating vets, up to date vaccinations, heartworm test, heartworm preventative, dewormer, flea preventative, microchip, & spay or neuter.We're open Wednesday - Sunday 12 - 5 p.m but doing adoptions and meet & greets by appointment only.  If you are seriously interested in adopting please fill our our online application here: https://bit.ly/3HN4Tqq Check out our website at https://www.petplacementcenter.com/    February 10, 2025, 8:52 am
