She Jas started showing some food aggression and also jumping at me when I try to disciple her. She will need obedience training I'm sure, but that will make her and awesome pet.

Is still a big puppy and gets worked up quick and excited easily. Not a lot of impulse control yet. She is So soft, shiny black with a white chest, half of her left eye is crystal blue.

Brody came to the shelter as a stray with his sister but their owner did not come to reclaim them. Brody's sister got adopted almost immediately and Brody is very stressed here at the kennels. We believe Brody is almost completely deaf and doesn't see well either, he also barks a lot in his kennel so is often overlooked by adopters. Despite his age and disabilities Brody can smell treats a mile away and will sit nicely when he knows you have ... (Read More)them. Brody would be best suited to a home with no other dogs, as he did get a hold of a smaller dog yesterday. Brody received distemper, parvovirus, bordetella vaccines and dewormer on intake.

We had a black and white male pit bull show up at our home in rural Coffee County over Easter weekend. He is very sweet and lovable with adults and children. Did show some signs of jealousy and protectiveness when other animals were present. Got into our truck and jumped onto our utility cart and rode around without prompting. Very sweet dog. We will not be able to keep him as we have 4 cats and a small dog. It will break my heart to have to call animal control to pick him up. Coffee County Manchester, TN 37355 MAP IT!

We have multiple dogs in our house, and as he got older he doesn't seem to get along with any of them that well. This is why it is preferred that the adopter doesn't have any other dogs. He is good with people, but I wouldn't risk small children or babies since he isn't used to them (he might play too rough). Hamilton County Soddy Daisy, TN MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-01-05-00341Dog (female)
Dog is a very sweet, loving girl who enjoys attention and being around people. She is an energetic and playful dog, but also loves to cuddle. Before we had her, we believe she may have had an abusive past involving dog fighting, which is why she does not get along well with other animals. Dog is very loving and loyal, and I have no doubt that she would do anything to defend her owner(s). If you would like to meet her, have questions, or any concerns whatsoever, please contact us immediately. I will be very receptive to emails at necxco@gmail.com, but phonecalls are also welcome. Johnson County Mountain City, TN MAP IT!

My name is Rocket, and they call me 'Rocketman' around here. I'm that fast! What I mostly go for is food. Yep. I'm an American Bulldog hog. I LOVE it. I seek it out. It's my everything. But I want you to be my everything too and take me home with you! I've started having a huge amount of angst and anxiety toward men and other dogs now, so they will be careful where they place me. I need hugs and blankets, and stuffed animals! And treats! I'll do anything for a treat. I'm a hunk of burning love for my treats! If I sound like a dog you could share your home, and food with, then look no further. I'll even go on a jogging regime with you if you ... (Read More)want! I am heartworm negative, microchipped, and weigh a trim 55 pounds. I'm ready for life on a couch! My ancestry is American Bulldog with a few other breeds probably thrown in there. Come adopt me and see what a true couch potato looks like! Rocket is a male pitbull mix found as a stray on Davis Street. He is brown in color and was wearing a collar with a lock on it. He is very much improved now on weight and has really come around so he is available to adopt or rescue. He has been fully vetted and is heartworm negative and microchipped. He has high anxiety toward the other dogs and will latch onto another dog if given the chance. He also has really started growling at barking at men who have come to visit him.

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-07-31-00507Roman (male)
One look at Roman's face, neck and legs; and you'll know his history up to when he was rescued. The intake photos of this (likely) bait dog (too graphic to include here) show he couldn't have been a great competitor in the ring. When his owners fled the area, he was left behind, chained without food or water but with open tear wounds festering and a collar so tight, it was embedded in his neck. Turn the page on this sweet boy, and you'll find a heart full of love for the kindness of our volunteers and the strangers who subsequently showed him compassionate attention. He's such a grateful cuddle bug, he'll work his way onto your lap on the ... (Read More)sofa or lean against you for a massage if you're standing. Roman is about four years old, weighs a strong 45 pounds, and responds cheerfully to every human he's met since entering our program. He's up to date on all shots, neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on preventatives for parasites. Quite the food-motivated hound, Roman is attending obedience classes and is doing great with his sit, down and heel commands. 'Stay' is a tough assignment for such an exuberant dog; but he's getting there. His wag motor is always in high gear (watch that tail!), and he especially enjoys soft toys and an energetic game of tug. Roman has also now graduated from basic obedience training and ready to learn more! Most of the time Roman's happy with canine neighbors, but you can't blame him for an occasional tendency to be suspicious of their intentions. For this reason, we are seeking an adoptive household with no other pets. If you have a soft spot in your heart for a dog that has surfaced from a miserable, tortured existence and bounded into a life of happy playfulness and eagerness to learn what you have to teach him, then Roman may be the perfect 'best friend' for you!

Trinity is a 75 pound Pitbull mix. Possibly American Bulldog. She is totally white and totally deaf. She had some ear issues and surgeries in the beginning and has some allergies, but was determined she just needs to be on allergy meds (generic Claritin - very cheap) and eat grain free food. She is totally sweet to all dogs. Loves people and kids and is gentle as can be. She is looking for her forever home. She was going to be adopted by a Lifehouse Board Member so we had her off adoption for awhile but we determined that she a very adoptable dog, so since this board member constantly has so many dogs fostering, decided to let her get ... (Read More)adopted out and have a family that is home more than her current foster home can be due to job/travel and rescue work. Trinity's adoption fee is $150. This is $50 less than our typical fee of $200 because her foster mom is sponsoring $50 of her fee to an approved applicant. This covers her basic vetting of spay, vaccines updated, heartworm test and prevention (she is heartworm negative), deworming and current flea meds.

Jake was left at his place, when his owners were took to jail. After much vetting we decided to take him into our rescue. He has been an amazing addition. Even though he is Heartworm positive, he seems to really enjoy life. He is very playful, but laid back kind of dude too. He seems ok with other dogs, and not too bad with cats. I would say just curious. He is 2 years old, UTD on his shots, microchipped, HW+ (will go with meds if still on them when he is adopted.) He loves his stuff toys and does not tear them up. He does hate cars and trucks. Not to ride in them. Just loves barking and chasing them. A Fresh Start Animal Rescue Lincoln County Elora, TN 37328 MAP IT!

| 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.
