Baxter had a nice home with his human Mom and Dad.  He was loved and well cared for; that is until a horrible day last fall when his home caught fire.  Everyone got  out of the house, but Dad thought that Baxter was still inside.  He went back in to get his dog to safety.  Dad got burned while looking for Baxter in the burning house.  He was hospitalized for his burns and a month later, died as a result of complications of the burns and treatment for them.

Baxter has become a regular couch potato, house dog. He will need a securely fenced yard and someone to love him. He is a 2-3 year old, 52 pound Blue Tic Coonhound and Australian Shepherd mix. He has been neutered and his inoculations are up to date. Baxter is heartworm negative and on preventative.  He is house trained, but he loves to run outside. He has been good around his foster parents nephews, aged 11 and 13. He will bark at strangers who come by, but once they pet him, he is fine.

Jeffy during grooming

Jeffy is one of the dogs that was rescued after being abandoned on a mountain top in east TN.

Weighing in at about 10 pounds, this energetic 2 to 3 year old boy is doing well in his foster home where he is learning to trust and love. He's a little shy at first, but warms up quickly, and loves lap time. He seems to get along with everybody. 

Jeffy was heartworm positive, has successfully undergone treatment, and is now on routine prevention.  Jeffy has been neutered and is doing well with his house training and manners.  He is ready for his forever home. He will probably do best in a home without small children.

Little Boy, before grooming

A Standard Poodle, about 3 to 4 1/2 years old, Little Boy is the smaller of the two Standard Poodles from the rescue in east Tennessee.  At the time of rescue, he was painfully thin, was horribly matted and suffered from mange.  He has been groomed, successfully treated for mange, grown a lovely coat and put on weight - now about 55 pounds.  He is still unsure of himself with most people and continues to undergo special rehab and socialization.  He now seems to look forward to his training sessions and enjoys the special time he gets with his trainer.  Little Boy appears to be gaining confidence and we hope will be ready for a forever home soon.    

Little Boy is negative for heartworms and is on prevention.  He will need a home, without small children, that can work with his shyness and help him become the loving companion dog he wants to be.  

I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!  Rocky is a healthy and active, 10 year old, Yorkshire Terrier that is looking for a new home.  His Mommy is very sick and her family asked us to take him into rescue and find him a home where he will be showered with the love and attention he needs and deserves.  This little dog was used to being the center of attention and now misses his Mommy very much.  He seems to prefer ladies that are "round" like his former Mommy but is always happy for any loving and attention. 

Rocky is doing very well in his foster home.  His favorite activities are going for rides in the car, lap time, sniffing all the smells in the fenced yard, and chewing on bones and squeaky toys.  He tolerates the other small dogs in his foster home and plays with the resident German Shepherd Dog. 

I HAVE BEEN FOUND AND AM BACK WITH MY FAMILY!
Jake is apparently a Chihuahua and possibly Rat terrier mix.  He came to us after a concerned lady called us telling about a small, stray dog that had been roaming her neighborhood for a couple weeks.  After checking with all the neighbors and calling the vets in the area, she determined that Jake was indeed a homeless dog.  Apparently, he had gotten out of his yard, crossed a major highway and ended up in the neighborhood where he was taken in and eventually brought to us.  His foster parents provided Jake with about 3 weeks of love and devotion, enjoying his antics and the activity he brought to their home.  Then, after some miraculous coincidences, Jake's Foster Parents found his family.  He is now happily settled in with his original family and is being appropriately loved and spoiled by the family that had been looking for him for so long. 

Violet is very loving, loves to play and gets along well with other dogs. It is recommended that she be in a home with older children only, due to her activity levels. She has demonstrated a high degree of agility in her play.  Her play yard has 6 foot fencing and she has never tried to climb it.  However, due to her jumping ability, her yard fencing should be about 6 feet tall.  Violet may be an agility prospect.  Her ability to focus will determine that.  She tries very hard to please, and should do well with formal obedience training. 

Rowdy came to us with Parvo with his litter mate brother when they were 6 weeks old.  Please, click here, to go to their page to see photos and to read Rowdy's story of survival.  He has not only survived, but has recuperated and become every bit an active, normal puppy.  He plays well with all the dogs in his foster home.  He has no fear; challenging the 4 pound Chihuahua as well as the 70 pound Standard Poodles to a rousing game of chase and tag.  He loves to give puppy kisses and will snuggle when tired out after a hard play time.  He is doing well with his housetraining and is learning basic obedience.  Rowdy is crate trained and walks well on leash.

Rowdy has blossomed under the play and attention of Sugar, another WKR dog.

Speckles, before grooming

Speckles is one of the dogs that was rescued after being abandoned on a mountain top in east TN.

Weighing in at about 9 pounds, this energetic 2 to 3 year old boy is doing well in his foster home where he is learning to trust and love. He warned up to his foster family and has learned to play.

Playing with foster siblings

I AM ADOPTED!!!  Sugar is a 10 pound 2 year old spayed toy Poodle mix that came to us as a stray.  We have no idea how anyone could have lost this delightful little girl and not turned the world upside down looking for her.  Sugar is a cuddle bug extraordinaire and loves to sit in laps and give kisses.  She is also a very active girl when the opportunity presents.  She has taken Rowdy under her wing and plays with him tirelessly.  Sugar has gotten used to sleeping in her foster Mom's bed at night and snuggling next to her. 

Sugar gets along well with all the dogs in her foster home and is very playful with all of them.  She has taken Rowdy under her wing, playing with him,teaching him puppy play and investigating all things new and exciting. 

Sugar walks on lead, is housetrained, and crate trained. 

I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED! 

Barbie is a 9 lb poodle mix (possibly Shih Tzu?) who is ready to go to her new home. Our vets estimated her to be 3 to 4 yrs old. After spending a few weeks recovering from her time on her own, she has gained weight and confidence once again. When she was rescued from the shelter she had very long matted fur and was an absolute mess. A grooming revealed a cute little girl with big brown eyes and a large smile - she has a bit of an underbite, a Shih Tsu trait, hence the delightful smile.

Barbie is a happy little girl, full of happiness and love to give. She is house trained, crate trained, loves attention, loves car rides and sitting in laps. She is a cuddle dog extraordinaire. Playing fetch is a delightfully favorite activity. She loves to play with squeaky toys and enjoys walks in the neighborhood doing very well on leash.

ROSIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 

These girls have done well after being separated.  Rosie has adjusted well with her new family and Violet is ready for a family of her own. 

Both of these young ladies are energetic as young Standard Poodles normally are.  They like to play chase and tag and are learning how to play fetch with their foster parents.  Although they both were thin when they came into rescue, they are gaining weight as they should.  All vetting, including spay has been done, both are heartworm negative and on prevention.   

Handsome is one of the dogs that was rescued after being abandoned on a mountain top in east TN.

A large Standard Poodle, about 6 to 8 years old, Handsome is now handsome after grooming and gaining some weight - now 60 pounds.  Before being clipped, it was thought that he had a black coat.  However, we were surprised to see that his is actually a lovely charcoal gray or what is called a blue. 

He had serious ear infections which are now clearing.  He is friendly and seeks attention.  This gentle boy is also good with all the small dogs that came into rescue with him.

Handsome has found a wonderful home with a 4 legged sister and a very good mom and dad. He is now called Beauregard, and loves his new home.

Cassandra (Cassie), is a white, Standard Poodle, about 22" at the shoulder, and 43 pounds. She is a delightful young lady of 6 years of age, and loves to sneak naps on the couch when no one is looking. Cassie is good with children and dogs/cats. She is an owner surrender due to circumstances beyond her control. Cassie has been a beloved pet of her current family since she was a puppy, and it is breaking their hearts to have to give her up. She is being rehomed due to illness in the family.

Cassie is loving, gives high-fives, sits, lays, walks easy on lead, and is easy to groom. She is currently in a stripped down cut, leaving her pom and fluffy ears. She would make any home a happier home with her presence. Cassie is up to date on all inoculations, spayed, heartworm negative, and a healthy girl.
