Story
Meet Sasha, Sasha was a rescue from under a house in Hartsville Tn. She had been roaming the streets and being fed by multiple people until she decided to have her 8 puppies under a porch. Sasha was one of the lucky ones and was taken into foster and was a wonderful mother. She was very cautious in the beginning protecting her babies. Sasha loves to play but would do best in a home where the other dogs are not overpowering to her. She will let the other dog know when she has had enough. She likes to take walks and does well on a leash. She loves her toys and loves to eat. Sasha would be best with older children. She might be a little shy at first but warms up quickly. She loves to get in your lap and just be loved on. If you are a looking for a companion to walk with and just hang out with meet Sasha. I have a lot of video and would be glad to send it so you can see her. She seems to be more comfortable with women but is fine with the foster’s husband but it took a little bit. Sasha is up to date on vaccines, heart worm negative and on preventions for heart worm and flea and tick and is micro chipped. She is spayed and approximately 50 lbs and 3 years old. Sasha is currently located in Tennessee and the adoption fee is $150. Transportation may be available to out of state adopters for an additional cost depending on the area. The first step in our process is submitting the application. We are happy to set up a meet and greet once an application has been approved. If you would like to adopt Sasha please fill out our online adoption application at http://safehaventn.com/ .

ADOPTION FEE REDUCED with APPROVED APPLICATION. www.safehaventn.com Banjo is a handsome 4-year-old fellow who found himself on death row. Thanks to a foster we were able to pull him and get him safe. He is heartworm negative, neutered, micro chipped and dog friendly. Cats unknown. He is about 55 lbs. We will require a physically 6' fenced yard. He likes toys and acts like a puppy at times. He would be best in a home with older children (12+) because he is still working on some manners and may be a little much for smaller children. He is a sweet boy just looking for a family to call his own. Please give this guy a chance, he won't disappoint you! If you think you can be that family for Banjo, please fill out our adoption application on our website at www.safehaventn.com . We are happy to set up a meet and greet for the approved application.

Story
ADOPTION FEE WAIVED with APPROVED APPLICATION. www.safehaventn.com Where do I start with Mr. Frankie Hudson? Ok he is super cute and that face will get you every time, trust me! If you are a one dog only type of family who wants a affectionate little dynamo who will bring you laughter and joy, this is your guy! Frankie is in an indoor / outdoor kennel and is potty trained with the doggy door to go in and out. He LOVES toys. Have no idea what his mix is, if I had to guess I would say some frenchie and pocket pittie .. but that is pure speculation. I can tell you he is a velcro dog and will literally be underfoot because he loves just that unconditionally. We do require a physically fenced yard. He is about 35-*40 lbs and sturdy. Frankie would do best currently as the only dog. He is not dog aggressive by any means, but has a little quirk that we are working on that other dogs may not enjoy on the daily, so we would feel most comfortable as placing him as the only dog in the home. I promise you this dog has so much love to give the right family. He is neutered, heartworm negative, current on shots and preventions. If you think you can be that family for Frankie Hudson, please fill out our adoption application on our website at www.safehaventn.com . We are happy to set up a meet and greet for the approved application. His adoption fee is waived and he is being fostered in Cookeville, TN. Out of state adoptions are considered on a case by case basis depending on the dog.

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?

Story
This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $0 - WAIVED if picked up in TN If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic, and highly motivated pup to be your loyal sidekick, Lottie might just be your perfect match! This 11-month-old, 40-pound American Pit Bull Terrier is an absolute toy fanatic—she could play fetch all day long if you let her! She’s also incredibly food- and toy-motivated, making her a fantastic candidate for further training and enrichment activities. Lottie is as sweet as she is playful. When she’s finally ready to rest after a full day of fun, she has the most adorable habit of laying upside down on the couch next to you.. She’s already mastered basic commands like Sit, Down, Stay, and Crate, and she’s doing well with her housetraining when kept on a consistent schedule. She’s also crate-trained and enjoys working for treats while learning new tricks! Lottie had a tough start to life, arriving in rescue as a puppy with two broken front legs. Because of this, she has some quirks and special needs we would discuss with any interested families. You’d never know it now—she’s made a full recovery and runs like the wind! She absolutely loves to play with other dog (once she knows them), though her rough-and-tumble play style is not for everyone. While Lottie is leary of new people and dogs at first, she thrives in a calm, environment with a patient owner who will continue to build her confidence. Her ideal home would be in a rural setting with plenty of space to run, explore, and burn off her energy. She would love a home where she can be the center of attention as the only pet and have lots of daily interaction with her person. If you’re an activ, and experienced dog owner looking for a devoted companion who will bring endless joy, laughter, and playfulness into your life, Lottie is waiting to meet you! Apply today and make this lovable, toy-obsessed sweetheart a part of your family!  Interested in adopting?
