He's loves people. He loves children and is very gentle. He's all lab. He loves the water
and will loves to play in the lake. He has a good sense on retrieving about him-loves to chase a ball.

UMA is a pure gsd that came out of the Monroe county shelter. I helped her adopt to a home in Vermont. Unfortunately she didn't work out with their dogs (they have 3 other ones) and so she started looking for a home. She's moved to a home with another pure bred gsd and they are working out very well. Uma (formally named Gretchen) is living still in VT with a family that wants to train her to do search and rescue! Sounds like a very good situation. |

ADAM adopted to a wonderful home in Sevierville, TN! He's very happy with this large extended family and loves it! They have 14 grandkids between them and they are over at their grandparents home all the time! Adam is eating up the attention! He gets daily walks (and is slowly losing his weight) and he's getting lots of rides in the truck! Adam loves to ride-he loves to watch the birds and all the sights. He has a bed beside their bed and has settled in well. They say he's adjusting very well-great with the activity, great with all the attention and hasn't had any accidents in the house! Can't wait to see the new and improved (lighter) Adam in the days to come. Adam is an adorable
sweet cattle dog mix. He was picked up by Maryville animal
control. He was pulled 30 min before euthanasia. I just
couldn't allow a dog wearing a bandana to be euthanized. He
has clearly been someone's dog. He is well mannered, sweet
and affectionate and gets along with female dogs, although he would prefer to be an only dog. He gets
along great with children. He
loves to ride in a car and rides very well. He is microchipped and fully vetted.

JACK has gone to live with a wonderful single gal who has 2 other dogs. He lives in the house with a fenced-in backyard and a doggy door to go in/out of whenever he wants. He gets treats of ham and all kinds of yummies! He's so happy-he just smiles. He loves to lay either on his new moms feet or right beside her when she's on the computer. She tells me how very grateful he is-that he just loves his new home. He has done well finally with housebreaking and doesn't have to use a crate. I hear wonderful stories about him all the time! Jack is a sweet med-sized little guy that has jack russell
in him. He is CALM! He's around 3 yrs old and is housebroken. Very nice boy. Still a little shy
around men. Would do best in a quiet home-maybe with a retired couple. He's good with other dogs
too. He's not a jumper, not a climber. Loves to lay beside you on the couch.

DAISY
is doing wonderful-gets along very well with her new friends - a yorkie and a cat. She’s sleeping
in the bed with her new owners, plays all day with her new little buddy, and is doing wonderfully
with no housebreaking accidents.
Daisy was orginally obtained for a little boy because he wanted a dog.
She was chained up outside for the first 6 months of her life. Then he wanted a lizard, fish, cat, etc.
The family said something has to go and because he never developed a relationship with this little dog,
the little dog was destined for the pound. A neighbor across the street said she’d take her to rescue her
but didn’t have a place to put her. UPDATES |

She is not sure about the big dogs but she will walk around them. She loves bathes, walks, and car rides. And, I assure you she is not spoiled and of course, I am not the cause. She loves being outside and stays right with me when I am out there. She walks around the yard as if she has always lived here. We planted flowers the other day and she laid under a tree and watched me the whole time. I did find that she likes the gazebo and likes being in the swing. She is always happy to see us when we get home and even does a dance and runs up and down the hallway. She also likes sitting in the window. She must have done this with her previous owner. Our couch is in front of the window and she sits there as if she were a cat. I am hoping to take her to the vet soon. She needs those teeth cleaned. But, I will wait on her records. Ginger is very loyal and we are very proud to have her. We thank you so much for introducing her to us. It was perfect timing. I am including a pic of her. Hope you enjoy!

Snuffy was adopted out by the individual that purchased her from the breeder. SNUFFY CKC female Jack Russell. Before I go further I would like to give you a brief history of "Snuffy". Approx 8 months ago, I purchased this dog along with serveral others from a dog breeder. This dog was special from the get go. Snuffy is 9 years old, she has been kept in a cage and bred her whole life. The breeder has these dogs in small cages (above ground) on a part of his farm. When I took snuffy home she was immediately different. She was completely frightened of human beings to the point where she would put herself in a corner with her face hiding, she refused to eat and still to this day will go stiff when on a leash or held. I have worked hard to help this dog as much as I can to become a "normal" dog. As of now she does not hide anymore, she spends her time on the couch and is used to humans. She has made friends with my girlfriend, and only her. She shies away from me, and is reclusive to strangers. I am moving on monday May 1st and I cannot take Snuffy with me. I am afraid to leave her with a stranger, and putting her to sleep will is not an option. I want nothing more than to find a happy, quiet home for Snuffy, and I need help finding someone qualified to take this sweet, sad, dog. I am very sorry for the short notice, but the previous plan for her fell through. I would like to add that if it is neccassary I will drop everything to come back for this dog. |

ADOPTED
3/26/2006
CHANCE was adopted to a home in Nova Scotia. UPDATE 4/15/2006: Just letting you know that we had Chance to the vet, the were very impressed with the medical records and the level of care that he was given. Chance is still healthy, was treated with revolution which treats for fleas, tics, heart worm, tape worm, and ring worm. He is doing very well with his training, he knows now how to sit, lay, and just learned yesterday paw. Still working on come, and stay. He is fully house trained, and will bug you till you get up to let him out before he will soil in the house. Tried the first couple of night with the crate, but nearly destroyed it, he got very aggitated, so he is crate free. Able to leave him for short periods of time in the basement, but goes to a kennel for long periods of time. Went to work on the 11 of April and found a notice on the fridge that there was a dog in need of a home or the dog would be put down, I couldn't see them put the dog down so I called the dog catcher in Shelburne and asked him not to put the dog down, that I would find him a home or a shelter to go to. So I made a few phone calls to some shelters and got no answer, so I called Trish. She agreed to take the dog. When i brought him home, We considered to keep him if only Chance would of got along with him. The other dog was a black lab mix. I just thought that I let you know our rescue of this puppy. - Laurie and Lisa UPDATE 3/27/06: We got Chance Monday night around 8:30pm. Laurie pick him up and said that he fell in love with him. He got into the car and laid down for the drive home. Today Lisa got to see him and I fell in love with him. Everything is going fine, he's settling down fine, taking a little time to adjust, but doing well as of now. We took him up to the tennis court, which is fenced in and he played with the ball. We took him to the baseball field which is wide open and he ran off but checking every once in a while to see where we were at. Hes been playing with millions of people and children. Introduced with some dogs, some good some bad. His demeanor is perfect, just what we were looking for, not rambunchous or hyper, jumps at first but settles down, did well first night in crate, still a little uncertian of his surroundings. He's lying on the floor beside us now. Follows use everywhere. We are sending you some pics of him with us. Thanks again for all your help in getting him herre, he is going to be spoiled here and loved very much. -Laurie and Lisa Chance1 yr 9 month old Large (50-80) Male Labrador Retriever. Chance is an adorable black lab (almost pure)that was dumped in the Madisonville shelter. He is fun and energetic, loves to play and chase a ball. He has the shape of a paw print on his tongue! He would love to have children to play with. He is strong and could benefit from obedience training-would do very well w/ this. Chance loves to play with other dogs. Chance is an alpha dog so he would need to be grouped with a more submissive dog. He loves to play with a ball and is quick to fetch and learning to bring it back. He loves to cuddle and is very sweet. Would love to have a fenced in backyard. Does seem to be cat aggressive. He has been neutered, microchipped, dewormed and is UTD on shots including bordetella.

Monroe county shelter the day of his euthaniza. He appears
to be around 3 yrs old-the perfect age-past the chewing! He
has a very sweet personality-loves to be petted and loves to
give love. He doesn't have the wild crazies that some BC and
Aussies can have-very gentle. Appears to be good with other
dogs as well.

SPICE (now TJ) isn't quite housebroken but she's making progress. She's getting used to being in the crate when we go to work or have to go out. She's becoming more assertive and comfortable here and her tail is wagging alot. Last night she stole the dinner rolls off of the table and ate 1 1/2 before I got them away from her. She has a thing for rolls and is a bit of a beggar. We've started obedience school and she's catching on bit by bit. She loves Ian and sleeps with him at night- I think we need to get him a bigger bed! She loves to play fetch and to take long walks- she's quite a sniffer! It can take a while to get along our local greenway. Our next adventure is to give her a bath this weekend. And you were right- she loves car rides. I usually ride in the back with her if Tim's driving and she usually ends up sitting on my lap! She's a really sweet puppy. Spice is the sister to Cinna, Bon, & Nutmeg. She was very scared and shy when she first came out of the shelter. She's doing wonderful now--loves to be around people and loves the affection--realizing what she's missed out on! She's quite the cuddler. She's not demanding, just precious. She's good with other dogs, loves to run and play. She won't be a big dog--currently about 38 lbs and full grown. She's current on her shots and HW negative. She's on preventative. She's dewormed and spayed She's soon to be microchipped. 11 month old Medium (25-50) Female Golden Retriever mix. |

OWEN (now GUS) is now in a wonderful home in Weaverville N.C.They had a dog and were wanting another one to go w/ that one and ended up adopting a third! Owen is very happy-inside dog w/ two buddies to play with! They are very conscienous and are wonderful pet owners. We had been cooresponding over owen (now named Gus) for several months before they adopted him. He loves the bed and loves to run around in the back yard. He's very happy! Very blessed dog to have been adopted by this home! UPDATE 4/3/06:Everything is just fine! No more marking, pooping in the house, staying awake all night. Last night everyone slept well. We have begun working on basic commands. He learns very quickly. Jesse is accommodating him. I hope they will become friendlier in the next couple of days. Today I ran them on the path behind our house. He came tearing down the path when I called him going so fast I was afraid he was going to crash, but, like Jesse, he slammed on the breaks in time to stop at my feet. I'm enjoying him immensely. I'm waiting to hear more details about the shelter in Hendersonville. Hopefully by Monday, we'll be able to formulate a plan. Nancy Owen was pulled out of Loudon shelter right before euthanasia. He has an adorable personality. He loves to play with water and will chase a hose around. He loves a ball and he loves treats. He gets along well with most all dogs he's been with. He currently lives with Sajen. Owen is more of a follower-not a dominant dog. he's been with-- He is easy going and has a very flexible personality. He just wants to have fun! He has a long body (looks more like the cartigan corgi) with a tail. He's black with a little white on his chest. He would be a great first dog or make a great second addition if you're looking for a playmate. He's micro chipped and HW negative. He's on preventive and he's UTD on shots. Soon to be neutered. Housebroken, Crate Trained. 1 yr 5 month old Medium (25-50) Male Corgi mix. |

ANJA was adopted to a family through SPCA of New York
Anja was pulled out of the Monroe County shelter in May. She was skin and bones when first taken out. She has filled out nicely, very healthy and happy now. Her personality has just thrived--she is sweet and very grateful. She's a quiet dog--just loves to be with her friend. She's not a jumper. She's good with children too. She gets along well with most dogs--would need to just try and see. She probably would prefer to be an ohly dog though. A dog worth adopting! Handles well on a leash. UTD on shots, Heartworm negative. Soon to be spayed and microchipped. 2 yr 2 month old Medium (25-50) Female German Shepherd Dog mix. |

ANNIE Annie is a sweet, playful fun 3 yr old dog. She's great w/ other dogs and has been living for 3 yrs w/ her buddy Hank (also pictures on ARFNETS). Her family is going through a divorce and can no longer take care of her. She's probably better w/ bigger dogs as she's too playful for smaller dogs and for cats-not aggressive but teases them too much. She's housebroken and crate trained. Annie is fully vetted and microchipped. Love to adopt her w/ her buddy Hank but can be split up. Annie would do best w/ a fenced in backyard. Housebroken, Leash Trained, Crate Trained. |

ADOPTED 1/22/2006 BESSIE adopted to a family in north Georgia. She adopted out to a family with boys that were so excited for their new dog. The family prayed about the right dog to get and really felt this was the dog for them. They called and inquired and despite all types of attempts to adopt this dog out before their time to take her, she wouldn't adopt. She was meant for them-they were right about that! She is doing very well down there-loving the kids and all the attention. She just has to figure out which one to sleep with at night! BESSIE is going to be around 20-25lbs. Her mom was a rat terrier and we guess dad was a beagle from the way she looks. Bessie is housebroken and GREAT with kids. She does great with other dogs - all different types, cats and birds. She has an easy going personality and is very flexible and not much bothers her. She plays well with other dogs. She's spayed, UTD on shots, dewormed, HW negative and on preventative.

FRECKLES traveled to the SPCA in upstate NY over the weekend of Jan 13th-14th. He lived here in TN for 7 months with no interest and upon arriving was adopted up there in a week. He adopted out to a family that are first time dog owners. They are very excited about him. They have bought him a doggy bed with lambs wool but he's already migrated to their bed! He is getting walks but gets to live in the house-something that didn't happen here in TN. He is already housebroken. The husband is in the marines and waited til he was in a secure position before adopting a dog. They have called the SPCA several times to give them updates and are very conscious about his vetting!

BUSTER went to the SPCA in upstate NY and adopted within a week of arriving! He went to a home w/ 2 kids and will be traveling to Paris France in the next couple of weeks on a vacation! He will return home to NY though. They spent over $1000 on him in Petsmart before leaving-toys, high quaility food, crates and bedding. He is going to be very well loved. They are first time pet owners but got a very easy dog to take care of! Very easy going! BUSTER was thrown over my fence a couple of days ago. He is a very loving solid little boy, who since his arrival has been wormed & defleaed, rabies & surgery were today. He is about 3mos old according to the Vet tech at my vet's office (she raises them, but has to many right now...of course) he is 25.8lbs and will get to about 45lbs of solid muscle. He gets along good with my larger dogs but my chi's he can't stand, so....he is now on his way to being crate trained. He loves attention from Keith, Harry (my 12 year old son), and myself and isn't afraid to get in-between your legs like a cat to get it. He does have a few mangy looking spots on him but was negative on that, but I am spraying him down anyway...no reason not to error on that side, especially with all the other dogs.

JACK UPDATE 1/16/06: Renee, We love Jack!!! He was such a great boy on the drive home last night. He slept quite well without any accidents. I tried to walk him this morning but it was more like him walking me at first - he was distracted by the birds and squirrels and tried his best to go after them. After a little he settled and we did have a nice walk. I do notice that he is afraid of stairs. He did not want to go downstairs last night - cried and laid on the floor. We finally got him to go down but he shook the whole way. He was hesitant to come back up on his own but finally did. We tried him a few more times going down and he is getting better. We assumed that he probably just didn't have much exposure to stairs before, is this right? The poor guy! He cried and barked when we went to bed for about 1 minute only. Then he went to his bed and slept there all night. He was so happy to see us this morning.Very curious checking out our house - sniffing about! So affectionate. My son announced at breakfast that he now has a brother! He is just so pleased. I have attached a few pictures.I am going to try and walk him again this evening - or he'll walk me. This time I'll wear my running shoes and give him a real good workout. I'll send some more pictures along a tomorrow. I just thought it would ease your worry to him so happy in our home! Jennifer He was actually too big for our crate. So we blocked off an area with a comfy pillow bed and the crate with the door open in case he wanted to go inside. He slept on the comfy pillow bed. He has not chewed and has not attempted to jump on the furniture. He was sitting and staying really well for me but not so much for my son. However, earlier today he sat for my son - as you can expect he was thrilled. We've got a bigger area for him tonight to see how he does. I think he will be fine. My husband stayed at home with Jack today and reports that he is a little hesitant on the stairs still but will go down with some coaxing. We have given him free roam of our family room and kitchen when we are there. He has been just hanging around us - wagging his tail. While we were getting ready this morning he tried to come up the stairs to our second level - they are hardwood stairs- he got up 3 steps and froze - couldn't go up or down. My husband had to lift him down. Poor guy! He is such a sweet dog. On the drive back, I put my hand on his paw and he put his paw over mine - just like you said he did for you. As I said to my husband, I finally have a man who wants to hold my hand! Jack did this for me, but hasn't yet for my husband so he is feeling a little left out. My husband brought him to the groomer today. They said he was so perfect getting his nails clipped and loved the blow dryer! He is such a charming dog - so happy. It's hard to believe that someone actually decided not to keep him. He is incredibly well behaved. Listens real well! I had him running last night for a while, and afterwards he just looked so content! I am going to run him again tonight (or he'll run me!) I just can't wait to get home from work and see him again! Jennifer
