At our rescue, the majority of our pets are still located in Tennessee, where they were rescued from various situations. We receive animals from a range of circumstances, from owners who accidentally had litters and want a responsible rescue to place them, to animals that have been abandoned or dumped. Regardless of their background, we take them in and provide comprehensive veterinary care, emotional support, and day-to-day necessities to prepare them for adoption into loving, forever homes.

Once our animals have received all the necessary vetting and care, they are ready to travel to their forever homes. We work with professional transport companies to ensure safe and reliable transportation. You can find more information about our transportation. the process under our website's "Transport" tab.

As the adopter, it will be up to you to provide most of the house, leash, and other basic training. While we excel in providing TLC, time constraints prevent us from being able to fully train them.

We appreciate your understanding and willingness to continue the training process with your adopted pet, knowing that you are giving them a second chance at a loving home.
