JENNY

Jenny appears to be a mix of Dachshund and rat terrier, about 1½ years old. She is
small--about 12½ pounds--and seems very social with people. She is active and
energetic, even though she tested low-positive for heartworm, for which she is currently
receiving treatment. As you can see from her pictures, she has an amazing set of ears.

LILI PEARL

Lili Pearl is a bluetick hound who was picked up as a stray. She is thin at around 40 - 45 pounds,
and about 1 year old. She has had surgery for
"cherry eye"
in both eyes, and they are looking much better already. She is a beautiful hound, but extremely timid and
fearful. Lili Pearl is in need of someone who is loving, very patient, and willing to take the time to gain
her trust and help her build confidence.

SAMMIE

The vet thinks Sammie is about 9 years old; he is a very loving male rat terrier or Jack Russell
terrier mix. He is very small and trim, weighing only about 16 pounds. He is good with everyone,
including kids and other dogs, loves to sleep in bed with his foster mom, under the covers, and
will lap-sit for hours and hours, just wanting to be loved. Sammie was found in the
highway median strip in Pigeon Forge, slightly injured by a car, and his owners could not be
located. The minor cuts from the accident have healed, and he has also had to have many teeth
removed...he has only 7 left, but he has no problem eating. He is housetrained and a wonderful
little companion.

HERBIE

Herbie is a black Lab mix, about 3 years old. His hair is a little bit wavy and mostly black,
with a little white on his muzzle and chest, and he weighs about 50 pounds. He is a friendly
boy, and extremely mellow and loving. Touch him and he rolls over for a tummy rub. He seems to
be fine with everyone he meets--just a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. We were not familiar with the
English or Bentley style Labrador retriever, but we have been told that Herbie resembles that
breed, which is stockier, with a broad head and shorter legs than the regular Labrador.

DEXTER

Dexter is a young male mix of beagle and perhaps spaniel. He is a
beautiful black and white with very short hair and long ears. He is trim
and somewhat long-legged and people-oriented, with a very
appealing personality. He is a real sweetheart, and very quiet, not a barker. He would
do best with a fenced yard, so he can burn off some of his energy. His
foster mom said that Dexter gets along well with the other dogs and
cats and is fantastic with kids; he is very patient and gentle and will
make a wonderful addition to any family.

FLETCHER

At last....my love has come along....my lonely days are over...and life
is like a song...ohhhh....yeah ...yeah....
HURRY!!! Everyone is quickly falling in love with me....even my
veterinarian says I'm just the sweetest little guy....and you will, too,
when you meet me!!! Our "lonely days are over" and you and I will have
each other...I desperately want a home as special as I am, and I bet
you're the one! ....At last.....
I sometimes "work" at a local antique shop as the "official
greeter".....With a tail that never quits wagging, I am super-friendly,
happy, affectionate, entertaining and quite the clown to all the
customers! I love to be with people and attach myself quickly to all! I
am very generous with my sweet kisses and am happiest when next to you!
I am just the perfect size for cuddling! Everywhere I go, I think it's a
party just for me.
Squirrels, lizards, rabbits and birds, BEWARE! Cats make me a little
crazy, too!!! I am always "on patrol" in the yard, being very curious
for something to chase, so I really need a house with a fenced-in yard
that will give me loads of opportunities to run and explore....I also
have a good nose and without a fenced-in yard, I just might impulsively
wander off on adventure without realizing it....and boy, do I love to
play fetch with my toys! I love to go for walks and car rides and get
terribly excited when I see my harness and lead. I have a great deal of
spirit and such a joy for life...in other words, yes, I have boundless
energy and can sometimes be mischievous, but I am very well-behaved
indoors. Not just over a year old, I still do exhibit some puppy
behaviors and will need appropriate chew toys and bones. The more toys
the better I always say! I have been known to jump into my big toy chest
and sit in it until I find just the toy! I respond well to positive
reinforcement, especially when yummy treats are involved. I am quite the
sensitive little guy, very anxious to please and learn very quickly..
Kind words, treats, ear and tummy rubs go a long way with me. I am
working on basic commands, and would benefit from continued obedience
training.
I am neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped, heartworm tested,
and on monthly heartworm and flea-tick preventatives. Being more of a
standard doxie than a mini, I am "pleasantly plump"(stocky) weighing in
just over 24 lbs. Continuing with a high quality diet and daily exercise
will help me shed the few extra lbs. I'm carrying. Everyone says I'm
just the cutest, and my pictures don't do me justice... I may not win
"most photogenic" but as stated above, I would win " Mr. Congeniality"!
...As far as other dogs, I seem to get along better with smaller dogs
and dogs my size..My foster mom teases me that I have "little man
syndrome" and enjoy barking at the bigger dogs..BUT if one comes near,
I'm not quite so brave...I understand that's the doxie in me.....and as
for very young children, I've been great but would most likely do best
with older children.
So what are you waiting for?!?!?!...Send in your
application.......woo---woooooo----wooooo----ohhhhh....yeah...yeah......
AT LAST....
At last .........my love has come along...my lonely days are over...and
life is like a song....ohhhh...yeah...yeah.... At last...........the
skies above are blue...my heart was wrapped up in clover ...the night I
looked at you... I found a dream... that I could speak to ... a dream
that I can call my own.... I found a thrill to rest my cheek to.... a
thrill that I have never known....ohhhh ....yeah....yeah.... You
smile...you smile....oh, and then the spell was cast....and here we are
in Heaven .... For you are mine..... AT LAST.....

PATTY

Patty is one of the "Peanuts Pups," born around April 22, 2009. She has been the leader of the pack
from the very beginning, but she has seemed to calm down a
little since some of her siblings have been adopted, and there aren't as many puppies in the house.
Patty is still very independent, but she enjoys being around the other dogs and will settle down
on the couch next to her foster family members.

LINUS

Linus is one of our 7 "Peanuts Pups," born around April 22, 2009. He has really developed into
a wonderful puppy. At first, he was not very people-friendly, just wanted to play and wrestle
with the big dogs. Now, he still enjoys wrestling with the big dogs, but he also likes to curl
up with his foster mom for loving. Linus has a seemingly unlimited amount of puppy energy.

TRACY

Tracy is a Corgi mix female with large, brown, soulful eyes, about 2½ years old, who
was turned in to the shelter by her owner. She is housetrained, well-behaved on a leash
and knows the commands: sit, paw, come and stay. She is a little skittish with new people
and situations, and she needs gentle treatment, but she is wonderful with cats and
other dogs. With time,
gentle, patient, and loving care from a special owner, she will be a trusting, loyal,
and affectionate companion for everyone. Won’t you please be the person to rescue Tracy
and give her the love and stability she desperately needs?

RILEY

Riley is a truly sweet dog who deserves a loving, forever home. He is a mix of Saluki,
Siberian Husky, Golden Retriever, and Great Dane, with a beautiful, creamy white coat.
He gets along great with children and other dogs, but seems to have an unhealthy interest
in cats. Because of his size and energy level, he would do best in a home without small
children. He can sit, is housetrained, very smart, and learns quickly. He likes to be
near people and wants to be indoors as a loved family member, but he also really needs
a large, fenced yard in which to run. He loves chew toys, watching TV, swimming at the lake (he
jumps off the dock on his own), riding in the boat and in the truck.

LUCY

Lucy is a smooth-coated Jack Russell terrier, about 2 or 3 years old. Lucy has none of the Jack Russell
"attitude," is very calm, quiet, and sweet and has no problems with other dogs. She
loves to snuggle and has a face that is irresistible.
More pictures of Lucy.

GRACIE

Gracie is a Jack Russell mix female, about 2 years old. She has only a
tiny stub of a tail, which we assume was docked. She can be calm and
quiet but also playful, loves to snuggle and be petted. She is fine with
other dogs and a little bit shy with new people. She came to us as a
malnourished puppy over a year ago, but she has grown into a beautiful
little "gazelle." She must have some whippet or greyhound in
her heritage, as she really loves to run at top speed, and also to dig;
therefore she needs a large fenced yard that is secured to prevent her
digging her way out.

JESSE

Jesse is a beautiful husky/shepherd mix female. She is much smaller than either of those breeds,
however, weighing in at 31 pounds. Jesse is about 7½ years old and is a really
loving dog. She wants constantly to be touching her human companion, and she always wears
a lovely smile on her face. She is housetrained and does well on the leash and is a wonderful
companion.

PENNY

Penny is a cute little Jack Russell terrier mix female. She is about 2½ years old and
very scruffy and sweet. Unfortunately, Penny is heartworm-positive; SARG will take care of
her treatment, but we would still like to find her a home so that she can be with her forever
family as soon as possible.

MURPHY

Murphy is a male Papillon mix, about 7 years old. He is a sweet and quiet little guy who is
friendly to everyone, dogs and people alike. He is housetrained and very well-behaved. He is
being fostered in a home with young children and getting along fine.

WILSON

Wilson is a cute little short-legged guy with loads of wild hair and a sunny attitude. We are
guessing he might be a Corgi/terrier mix, about 1 year old. He is very playful but not hyper.
He doesn't appear to have a problem with cats, walks well on the leash, and is clearly at home
indoors and with everyone he meets. He loves to play with other dogs and would like to have a
home with an active companion.

DARBY

Darby is a male Boston terrier, about two years old. We do not have much information about
him yet. We do know that he is a very handsome guy and seems very sweet. He has tested
low-positive for heartworm, and we will complete his treatment for that. Still, we would love to find
him a home in the meantime, rather than make him wait until the treatment is complete.

SCARLETT

Scarlett is about two years old; we believe that she is a pure-bred Shih Tzu, but we do not have any
evidence. She is the mother of the 6 puppies at the bottom of this page, all of whom have tentatively
found homes. We are looking for her
permanent home, but she will not be able to go until the puppies are completely weaned, probably late
July. So far, she has exhibited a fantastic temperament, being housed with her puppies in a home with
other dogs (large and small), small children, and a cat, and has been fine with all of them, even
while caring for her puppies.

EDIE

Edie is a sweet, sweet, sweet little female miniature poodle, 8 years old. Her color
is white with some champagne highlights. She is Eddie's sister. The two of them were
surrendered to the animal shelter by their owner as a result of divorce.
|
EDDIE

Like his sister Edie, Eddie is a little sweetheart. They are a matched set, except that
Eddie is quite a bit more overweight.
|

Edie and Eddie have always been together, and we will be trying to find them a home together if
it is at all possible.
