Welcome!!

We started this blog to keep in touch with our adopters and have a place to post what's new and exciting in the rescue!

Currently we have 11 wonderful dogs in our rescue. They are all living in homes with other dogs and are very well behaved. They are:

Alvin - a year old beagle / cattle dog mix. We've pulled so many dogs from the Jessamine shelter that look like him that we've deemed them 'Kentucky Brown Dogs', a rare breed from a small part of the country. Get your rare breed dog today! He's super friendly and outgoing and just adores every single person he meets.

Buffy - a senior poodle that doesn't know she's a senior. This girl loves men! She's still quite active but not the least bit hyper. A perfectly well behaved little lady in the house. Our vet says she was probably a breeder for a horrid person and when she wasn't producing puppies they dumped her in the woods.

Trixie and Star - mother / daughter boxer mixes. They were living in a home with 7 other dogs when their owner was arrested for child abuse. The small town sheriff's office left all the dogs locked in the house with no one to care for them. Luckily a lady in town stepped in and managed to free all the dogs. Trixie (mom) was carrying another litter and had them at the lady's home. She was such a good mom that she wouldn't leave them, even to eat or drink, so her year old daughter Star would stand over the litter so Trixie could eat and drink. Raised with kids and other dogs and cats, these two ladies are amazing. Trixie is a very settled, sweet, laid back lady that just loves attention. Star is about a year and a half now and loves long walks and would enjoy a young active family.

Liza and Randy - mother / son pitbulls. Liza was purchased as a puppy but as she grew her owners decided they wanted a different looking dog so they started breeding her over and over until she had a litter that had a puppy that they liked the looks of. Once the puppy was old enough to live without her they dumped her and her remaining puppy, Randy, in the local shelter. We saw their posting from the shelter on the day they were to be put to sleep and called the Director. We met her to pick them up a couple days later and have been in love ever since. Liza is just now starting to act like a puppy, something that as a breeder dog she was never allowed to do. She loves playing with our daughter's 3 year old chihuahua and is so gentle with him. Randy is just a totally goofy puppy. He's almost a year old now and loves attention. He plays very well with dogs of all ages and sizes. They are both great with cats. If you're looking for your first pitbull, these are great options. Very submissive and loving, not an ounce of aggression in either one!

Gracie - adult golden retreiver / husky mix. Gracie spent her life tied to a tree with little human interaction. When her owner passed away his children didn't want to bother with her and were only feeding her a couple times a week. A local lady offered to take her in. She was a groomer and one of her clients was a former adopter and friend of ours. They called and asked if we could take in Gracie and another dog they had. We set up transport and moved her over. Since being here she's realized that being inside is a pretty cool thing! She still prefers to spend a good bit of her time out doors when weather permits, but will willingly come inside when it's too hot, cold, raining / snowing. Still shy and totally quiet, she loves affection and is a great dog to have indoors. She doesn't get into anything, doesn't chew or bark. Just wants to lay at your feet and have her head petted once in a while.

We just pulled 4 male chihuahuas from Jessamine this past week. We're still getting to know them, but so far they're just sweet and wonderful! They seem to be on the older side and some may need a good dental cleaning before going to their new homes, but they're as cute and sweet as can be!! They've all been named by our adoptions coordinator after Andy Griffith characters!

One is a cream color and we're calling him Andy. He is very affectionate and extremely laid back. He's happy spending all day laying by your side while you watch TV.

The second is a beige male with a white face and we've called him Barney. He's the snuggler of the bunch. He wants to be on your lap all the time. Laid back and easy going just like Andy, he's a wonderful addition to any sedentary lifestyle!

Goober is a tri color male that has some dental issues. His cute little pink tongue tends to fall out the side of his mouth every now and then. He's got either some genetic birth defect with his ears or they had severe hematoma at some point that went treated. Either way his ears fold down rather tightly against his head. Because of this he'll be at increased risk of ear infection if his ears aren't kept cleaned. He's a very sweet little guy though and likes to sit with you or lay on your lap. Of the four he's the most reserved and shy.

The last is Gomer, a long hair tri colored male. He's a comical little guy that's always on the go. He's a snuggler but also would do good with an active family. He seems to be the leader of the pack and is at odds with Goober, battling for dominance. Both of the boys need to be neutered and I'm sure once that's done within a month they'll both settle down just fine.

Many of our pets can be seen on Saturdays from noon to 4PM at the Murfreesboro Petco in Tennessee. Stop in and say hello and meet some of our fur kids!
