Oreo
Meet Oreo: The Sweetest Rescue in Knoxville! 🍪🏡
Oreo has been through the wringer, but you’d never know it by the way he loves his people! Found as a starving, injured stray, he fought his way back to health—only to be scheduled for euthanasia when no one came for him. But we got to him just in time, and now he’s thriving in a loving foster home!
This 5-year-old pittie mix is the total package:
✔️ Loyal & Loving – Wants to be your couch buddy (and burrito taste-tester 🍽️)
✔️ Well-Mannered – Potty trained, crate trained, and a perfect car companion 🚗
✔️ Great Walker – No pulling, just pure joy on a leash 🐾
✔️ Absolutely Stunning – Striking markings and soulful eyes 😍
Oreo is a one-pet kind of guy—he loves humans, but he’s not into sharing his kingdom with other animals. He’s also a master escape artist, so a tie-out is a must for backyard time.
If you’re looking for a funny, affectionate, and loyal best friend, Oreo is your guy! Message me to meet this incredible pup and give him the forever home he deserves. 🏡❤️

Shiloh
Meet Shiloh: The Sweetest Little Sunshine Girl Who’s Ready for Her Forever Family! 🌟
Shiloh is a stunning Walker Hound and Mountain Cur mix, weighing in at 60 pounds of love and joy. At 5 years old, this sweet girl is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and eager to find her new home!
She’s a fun-loving gal who loves basking in the sunshine, going for long walks, or cruising on car rides, Shiloh is always up for an adventure! She’s fantastic with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her the perfect addition to any family.

This gentle, loving girl just wants to be a cherished member of a family who will give her the attention and affection she deserves. If you're looking for a loyal, playful companion who’ll fill your home with love, Shiloh is your girl!

Sophie
Sophie is a talker who loves to voice her opinion to her humans….. and she loves snacks! It is not unlike her to politely jump up on the arm of your chair and curiously watch you eat, if you have something yummy. She also enjoys watching TV with her humans, either while on the cat tree or on a comfy lap. Sophie is quite comical with her expressions and mannerisms. Don’t be surprised if she makes you laugh! She is insanely cute! Another of her favorite things to do is to play tag with her kitty playmates, while they wrestle or smack each other on the head. But Sophie’s favorite thing to do is to curl up on a comfy lap while getting soft pets, or to curl up on the cat tree and bask in the sunshine. Sophie is very relaxed and a bit shy at times, but is very gentle and loving. She would love a home with her “sister” Sasha, but is willing to go home by herself with someone who would spoil her!
Sophie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and is microchipped with Home Again Pet Recovery. Owner information will need to be changed.
Please email shauniphillips@gmail.com or dashco65@gmail.com to meet or learn more about Sophie. [Updated 2/26/2025]
Sasha
Sasha is the most affectionate kitty ever! Her favorite thing is to curl up on a warm lap while placing her paw lovingly over your heart, purring and staring deeply into your eyes. People often comment on how sweet she is when they meet her. She is not a shy one, and will follow you around and readily jump into your lap. Aside from getting love from her humans, Sasha loves to sit on the highest seat on the cat tree and watch the birdies at the bird feeder, while chattering excitedly! It is quite adorable to watch! Sasha loves feeding time (especially tuna!) and is extremely vocal in expressing her love for her food. She will follow you to the kitchen as you get the food, instructing you how to do it correctly and then lead you to her bowl so you don’t get lost. She would love a home with her “sister” Sophie, but would consider coming home by herself with you if you can indulge her need for affection.
Sasha is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped with Home Again Pet Rescue. Owner information will need to be changed.
Please email shauniphillips@gmail.com or dashco65@gmail.com to meet or learn more about Sasha. [Updated 2/26/2025]
Smokey
Meet Smokey! He is a 2 1/2-year-old mixed breed. He is neutered, heartworm-negative, up to date on vaccinations, crate-trained, and house-trained. He’s a big snuggler and can be super playful, but he doesn’t quite understand his own size!
While he’s a sweetheart, Smokey has shown some aggression towards other dogs and cats, so he needs to be the only pet in his next home. We are also unsure how Smokey is with children. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s ready to give all his affection to you, Smokey might just be the perfect fit!
If there’s a chance that Smokey could become your best friend, please call 865-771-6815 or email emilymcnally67@gmail.com. [Posted 1/31/2025]
Punky
Punky is a 13-week-old female, about-to-be-spayed kitten. As her name implies, she is full of spunk! Punky loves to play and is good with other cats but still wary of dogs. She will be getting spayed next week and finishing up her vaccines for 1 year. She will also be microchipped. Punky is looking for her forever indoor home with a playmate or two. This little girl is quite healthy and negative for feline leukemia and FIV, and she has been fully dewormed and is current on flea and heartworm prevention. She is living with Cinnamon currently, and they can also be adopted as a pair. See his bio as well. They are both wonderful cats! Please email critterdoc09@gmail.com if you can give Punky and/or Cinnamon a loving, forever home. [Posted 8/19/2024]
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a 2-to-3-year-old, neutered male, dilute orange tabby. He is a bigger boy at 11 pounds lean. He has finished updating all his vet care and tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV and had vaccines updated. He is current on flea/heartworm prevention and in-process of finishing deworming. Cinnamon is good with other cats and is not an aggressor at all. For a former outdoor tomcat, he has good litter box habits and is totally fine with being scooped up to be held. He is very docile and affectionate. He has a great purr! This boy is very talkative with a lilt that reminds me of a Siamese as well as his more angular face. Available for immediate adoption as an indoor cat. If you are looking for a sweet boy to add to your house, this is your guy! Please email critterdoc09@gmail.com. [Posted 7/29/2024]
Radar
Radar is 7 months old as of 7/23/2024. He is neutered, heartworm-negative, up to date on vaccinations, and housetrained. He is a rat terrier who looks like the photos of a Majorca ratter. One look at his ears will tell you where he got his name! Radar's foster home is located in Concord, NC.
This good boy is very smart and very loving. He knows how to sit and stay. He likes to shake paws, play fetch, play ball, dig in the dirt, and run! He loves the water and loves to play in the water hose. He also likes to watch animals on TV! He likes his harness on when he goes for a ride-- it seems to make him feel more secure. As he is still a puppy, he tends to chew through his leashes, so a metal leash works best. Radar is afraid of paper bags and loud noises inside, but he's not afraid of thunder or firecrackers outside. He is of a type that is bred to hunt mice and rats, and consequently he has a high prey drive and can't be trusted around small animals.
Since he was rescued, Radar has not been tested in very many situations with people and other animals. He likes to play ball with some neighbor kids, but he has not been around small children. He behaved well at the vet's office where there were people and other animals. His current foster home is not active enough to give him the exercise, training, and socialization he should have. He needs an active family to give him some training and lots of play time. He is so smart that he might be able to train as a service dog.
The bottom line is that Radar is a really good, young dog who needs a best friend and a loving and active forever home. He is also a gorgeous dog whose photos do not do him justice, with his sleek coat and beautiful reddish-brown highlights.
Please text Loni at 865-282-7846 or email uneekseven@gmail.com if you want to meet Radar and give him the good life he deserves. [Posted 7/23/2024]
Thin Mint
Thin Mint is a 10-month-old male neutered boy tuxedo. He came from an outside feral litter. He is sweet, but the rest of his litter wasn't as friendly. He loves other cats and is very social. He doesn't love being picked up, but it doesn't freak him out. He is a very handsome and more petite boy. He can be adopted solo if other cats in the house or with Skittles or Sweet Tart. Thin Mint is fully vaccinated as an indoor cat, neutered, tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV, and up to date on flea/heartworm prevention. Please email critterdoc09@gmail.com for more information. [Posted 1/12/2024]
Chanel
Hi, Everyone! My name is Chanel, and I’m a full-blooded blue nose pit bull. I am spayed, and I’m 7 years old. I get along with other dogs and all humans, too. I’m great around babies and toddlers. I am housetrained, and I weigh about 42 pounds. I had an accident that has made my back legs not able to work any more, but that hasn’t stopped me from being my full-of-energy self, nor from getting around. I would love to find my new forever home with someone who has the time for me and has a back yard I can wheel around in.
Please call or text Holly at 865-201-9778 if you can give me that loving home.
NIA
Nia is a gorgeous, high-energy chow/husky mix. She loves to hike and be outside! She has a very high prey drive and will dig out of a fence at times if there is incentive (prey). She does fine with not going over a fence and so far has done very well with a woven wire fence. Nia appears housebroken and crate trained, but she is not trustworthy with cats. Nia would do best in a home with no small children/younger children, a fenced back yard, an active experienced owner, no other female dogs, likely no cats, and maybe a male dog friend. Nia gets along with two boy dogs in her foster home, but not with the largest male dog, and definitely not with the female dog in the house. Nia's history is unknown as she was a stray. However, Nia is very slow to trust men. She warms up pretty quickly to most women.
Nia already knows: sit, down, wait, drop it and leave it. She is very smart! She leash walks with a martingale collar and can easily hike up to 4 or more miles. She also loves squeaky toys and will toss them up to play. True to breed, Nia has a double coat and will shed out. She does well with brushing though and also loves belly rubs.
Nia is about 5 yrs old, up to date on vaccines, spayed, and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Please email critterdoc09@gmail.com if you are interested in meeting Nia. [Updated 4/19/2023]

Luna - ADOPTED!
Luna is 1 ½ years old, and the most affectionate and adorable “bat-kitty” you will ever come across! She got her name from her large, round, moon-like eyes. Luna was born outside to a stray mama cat and spent the first three months of her life outside until being rescued. Because of this, she has a ton of energy and loves nothing more than to hunt prey--either real or “play” prey. She loves her toy fox and trots sweetly around the house carrying it in her mouth, or dropping it at her humans’ feet, begging to play. Luna is also a loving kitty who stands on her hind legs to meet her humans’ hands when they reach to pet her, and she loves belly rubs on her chubby belly! When not engaging in fun, Luna loves to lie on a comfy bed and bask in the sunshine. Luna will thrive in an environment where she receives lots of play stimulation and lots of affection. She is used to dogs and other cats, but she also likes to be alone and go her own way. Single or sibling, she will fit right in and win your heart! Luna does like to monopolize the food, so she would do best in a situation where the food flow can be controlled. She needs to watch her kitty figure!
She is microchipped with SaveThisLife. The owner information will need to be changed.
Here’s a short video of Luna interacting with her human.

Buddy - ADOPTED!
This is Buddy💙 He is a Chihuahua mix, about 9-10 years old. Buddy loves a good nap with his humans, but loves to alert you when any noise catches his attention. He loves just about everyone and has grown up with two fur brothers and sisters so he’s great with other dogs, as long as he gets the majority of the attention😉. Unfortunately, Buddy’s human passed away suddenly, and he is now being cared for by a family member who can only keep him for about 2 weeks due to living in a rental home that does not allow pets. Buddy would be a great companion for someone of any age.
