Pit Bull Terrier ~ Young ~ Female ~ Medium~ located at the Carroll County Humane Society McKenzie, TN (West Tn) Peaches is a super cute pit girl who was found as a stray and was in raging heat. It appears she was being chased, harassed, and assaulted by every male dog in the tri-state region and sought refuge under a kind person's porch. She is young - about 1 year old - and is soooooo sweet. She loves attention and affection from people and will follow you everywhere once she gets to know you. She is learning how to walk on a leash and likes toys and treats. Other dogs scare her right now, but she is learning that not every dog she meets ... (Read More)will try and jump her. She is small for a pit - only about 35 pounds - and has the best manners and LOVES a lap. Peaches will 'hold it' until she can get out and potty so we think she has spent time inside? It is hard to know what her history really is. But, we know she is adorabull cute and will make a great pet for the right family. Come meet her today!!!

it Bull Terrier & Border Collie Mix ~ Young ~ Female ~ Medium~ located at the Carroll County Humane Society McKenzie, TN (West Tn) Molly is a super sweet dog who has had a very hard go. She showed up at someone's house several weeks ago and was in terrible shape and heavy pregnant. She had her pups and then sort of became somewhat of a neighborhood stray living out of garages. The homeowner where she came to to have her puppies cared for her the best they could and then got the family into rescue. Molly is very quiet, mellow, and a bit shy but responds really well to women who baby talk her. She has issues with men and we suspect she had ...

My son has a 2yr old pitbull, We can not have him at our rental house,we can not find a home for him or a new place that will allow us to bring him.He has been living in a hotel room and we can not afford it any longer. He is verry loved and a last resort. We would love to keep him. He does have a record for 1 bite.

He was an indoor dog.We love him and will miss him dearly. Wilson County mount juliet, TN MAP IT!

Has a brother and they've never been separated so I'm not sure how they'll be apart from one another. He doesn't really get along with any other male dogs other than his brother Meech. He's around 100 lbs with white and red spots. His owner has nowhere for them to go and since he doesn't really listen to anyone but his owner we are worried that he will be aggressive towards the shelter attendants and will be put down but is just a very very big lover.

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-07-10-00502Hank (male)
Here is some information about the sweet and loving pit bull I have been taking care of for the past year! ) His name is Hank and he is 6 years old, born 9/11/07. He is neutered and up to date on his rabies vaccination. He is an inside dog and is crate trained. He is very good with cats and other female dogs however he and my male dog, who is a pit bull mix, do often show aggressive behavior towards each other and have to be kept under close supervision when together. I have had him around older children but not small children and he did well, however the reason he was to be euthanized was that he snapped at a little girl while playing with ... (Read More)toys. He is not leashed trained but does know basic commands and is very obedient. I do think that its best he go to a home with experienced owners with older, more respectful children or no children. This boy is incredibly sweet. His first home was with an 80 year old man, who had Alzheimer's. They were best buddies. Hank gave his owner a bath every night, sat in his lap, and provided countless days of joy. Sadly his owner passed away and Hank went to live with the daughter. She has 3 grandchildren, and Hank loved them all! They all played very well, but one day Hank played a little to rough and snapped at a 3 year old. The new owner was not an experienced dog owner and thought that meant his death, by euthanasia. Sheena Holder stepped in to take Hank away but she was unable to house him, she has another pit bull who is dog aggressive and very old. Rachael Isaacs decided to foster this sweet baby until he has found a forever home. This is just to sweet of a boy to know that he does not have a forever home. If you can help please feel free to contact us and we will provide as much information and more pictures of this very handsome boy. (Less) Sullivan County Kingsport 37664

Spencer is good looking & a very friendly dog. He might believe that he is a lap dog, he is that affectionate toward his foster family who reports that he is just great! He has been neutered and is up-to-date on vaccinations. He is ... (Read More)crate trained. If you live in another state, don't let that stand in your way. We will work to transport Spencer if it means he will have a good forever home. If you are another rescue group, we will waive the adoption fee but you can make a donation toward vetting at your discretion. The adoption fee will help to cover the cost of the veterinary care he has received. (Less) Diamonds in the Ruff Pound Pups PO Box 62 Obion County Union City, TN 38281 MAP IT!

This is a very good, loving dog. He lived with my son and 3 grandkids, 14, 7, &4. My son moved within city limits where they have Breed Specific Legislation and could not take a pit bull with him. Laylay is staying with me in hopes that I can find him a loving home. He is no problem but I am retired with 5 dogs of my own, including 1 pit mix and 2 English Bulldogs. I can't bring him inside because one of my bulldogs is very jealous and would most likely cause problems. I get up and walk him two miles every morning. He is very well mannered. One morning , a rabbit ran in front of him and he jumped and ran, causing the leash to slip out ... (Read More)of my hand. When I called him, he came right back. He is quick to adjust to my needs and wants. I cannot say how he would get along with male dogs. I have a 9 yr old male lab mix who has always been alpha dog at my house. They have never fought but I see him avoiding Laylay. Maybe he just knows he is no match for a 3 year old pit. When he was at my sons he lived with 2 female pits (one of these is a 2 yr old blue nose pit that I am also looking for a home for.) I would like to find him a home before winter.

This dog had been wandering my neighborhood for over 6 weeks when finally a neighbor was able to capture him. My neighbor placed him in my fenced in back yard where I have kept him while trying to locate his owner or a rescue for him. I took him to my vet to have him scanned for a microchip and also to have a hearworm test. Unfortunately he is heartworm positive. He also seems to have an abscess tooth maybe. He is thought to be around 9 years old. He is very sweet and loving and a little timid at first. I have 3 dogs of my own and he has shown aggression towards my male but is ok around female dogs. He has not been kid tested. I cannot keep ... (Read More)him. I will try for a couple of weeks to find him a home. If I cannot place him then I will ha e to take him to the Memphis Animal Shelter where he will more than likely be put to sleep. Please don't let his heartworm status be a death sentence! I would love to find him a loving home to spend his senior years. He really is a sweet boy. (Less) Shelby County memphis, TN MAP IT!

He has learned some basic commands such as sit and is learning to fetch. He has also learned how to smile, which is saying a lot considering he has an eye condition known as Entropion.

This is a very high energy dog. Good temperament, friendly and sociable. I'd keep him, but got him on short notice (without consulting my wife) and he is thus causing friction in my life. This dog is a lover. He seems to need a lot of love and attention. He'll also need some room to run. If you're not committed about helping this dog, don't bother calling. If you haven't dealt with strong, alpha dogs, don't bother calling. Humphreys County Waverly, TN MAP IT!

She is a great dog. She's done well with a small dog before but usually does not do well with bigger dogs. She does well with our two cats but I don't know how she would be with cats that hiss or scratch. She is good with kids but doesn't seem to know how big she is and jumps. She is beautiful and sweet she just needs someone who is more firm than I am. Her heartworms have been treated but she may still have one live one. Slight lung damage causes her to cough some.

  | Rescue Me ID: 14-03-11-00621Byron (male)
About 6 years old, rescued him when he was a puppy. Wants to chase squirrels with every fiber of his being. I need to get rid of him because he loses his mind when he sees a squirrel and I can't control him (he has bitten me a few times trying to get away). With a new baby around we can't have him acting out in any way. He's very friendly and great with other dogs when introduced properly. PROS: He has the softest ears, he'll whine if he needs to go out, he doesn't chew on anything he shouldn't, effective at deterring burglars. CONS: Light/Medium shedder, unhealthy obsession with squirrels. Davidson County Nashville, TN MAP IT!

The police were called and a neighbor took her to keep her from being shot. In the mean time the neighbor did not know she was pregnant. Misty gave birth to 9 puppies. However there was a complication with Misty and she developed an infection in the uterus that put her close to deaths door. After a lot medicine and good TLC she was able to move to a safe foster home. All her puppies were adopted to good homes. Misty came with a lot of baggage. She was extremely shy and fearful ... (Read More)of everything upon coming into foster care. It was a step by step daily process to let her know she was safe. Misty is now healthy around 50 pounds and fully vetted. She is such a sweet girl but is a special needs case. In the fact that she is still extremely shy with people although getting better. It takes her some time to warm up to people and gain her trust. She feels very safe in a crate or her kennel and will show affection when she trust you. Misty has come so far in such a short time. We think she would do best in a home as an only dog with lots of one on one attention. She needs someone who knows the breed, is patient, and willing to work with her. Misty will walk on leash but needs encouragement and work on it. If you are a pit lover this girl will steal your heart!!We will be REQUIRING strict guidelines and references for adopted her since she is a pit.

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Tennessee | |||||||||
Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Tennessee if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.
