Dogs Available for Adoption

Help make a difference to the number of unwanted dogs and cats - adopt one! 


JAMES



James is a beautiful guy who looks half Basset and half German shepherd. He weighs about 47 pounds and seems to be a very young adult. He has a long, solid body and short legs with "Basset feet," but his ears and his markings are all German shepherd. He is very playful and still has some puppy ways. Just a brief meeting with him shows that he is very attuned to people and adores being petted and fussed over.

TONY



Tony is a serene and loving senior Cocker spaniel, age 8 or more. He weighs about 25 pounds. He would be the perfect couch-companion for someone who has time to appreciate a sweet little buddy. Tony is heartworm-positive, but our wonderful vet has obtained medication for him as of 1/25/12, and his treatments will begin soon. Once that process begins, Tony will need a quiet place to take it easy for several weeks. This guy is adorable and so easy to love at first sight.

JASPER



Jasper is a male terrier mix, about 2 - 3 years old. He looks like a Yorkie mix, although he has long legs and is a good bit larger at 18½ pounds. He is lively, alert, and friendly and very, very cute!

TINKER



Tinker is a little Pomeranian mix male. He has a dislocated hip joint that requires surgery, which he will have right away (late January), and we expect him to be fully recovered in a few weeks.

FRED ASTAIRE



Fred Astaire is a most elegant little guy, with his black and white fur coat. He appears to be a Cocker, or maybe a Cocker / Springer spaniel mix, about 3 years old. He is house-trained, friendly and outgoing -- loves to meet new friends, both human and canine. He was adopted but is coming back to us because his adopter believes he needs a family to give him a more stimulating life than he currently has. He loves to play and romp, but he likes to cuddle and be petted, too.

BEAR



Bear is a male Chow, blue in color. He weighs about 52 pounds. He is a gentle, laid-back guy. Has learned house manners in his foster home, even learning to accept the cats. He also gets along well with the two big dogs in the household.

TRACY



Tracy is a Corgi mix female with large, brown, soulful eyes, about 5 years old. She is housetrained, well-behaved on a leash and knows the commands: sit, paw, come and stay. She is a little skittish with new people and situations, and she needs gentle treatment, but she is wonderful with cats and other dogs. With time, gentle, patient, and loving care from a special owner, she will be a trusting, loyal, and affectionate companion for everyone. Won’t you please be the person to rescue Tracy and give her the love and stability she desperately needs?

LIBBY



Libby is a terrier mix female, 5 - 6 years old, and weighs 25 pounds. She has many special talents. She is house-trained and crate-trained. She is very quiet indoors. Libby's favorite thing to do is to walk, and she has excellent leash skills. She allows you to set the pace and does not pull. She is not afraid of kids on bicycles as she is walking, either. Libby’s second favorite thing to do is lie on the floor by you, or on the couch with you. She loves humans, both men and women, and has been around kids as young as 8 very comfortably. She does not chew on toys, dig in the yard, or chase balls; she prefers the life of a dog of leisure. However, if you are looking for a dog to take on errands, she is your girl. She loves car rides and sits quietly in the passenger seat looking out the window, no feet on the dash or crossing over to the driver’s side. While you are popping into stores, she will just wait patiently, keeping your seat warm for your return. Libby is all lady and enjoys human conversation. It is easy to imagine her sunning herself on a deck or patio while her human is hosting a luncheon. At night she enjoys sleeping in the same room as her human, either in her own bed, or on her human’s. As long as she is in the same room, she is happy. With so many skills, Libby has to have been in a family prior to coming to SARG. However, in the time between being with her family and coming to SARG, Libby has had a hard life. She desperately needs someone who will love her as much as she loves them. It is very apparent she is seeking love and human contact. She would like to be the only dog in the family so that she can give all her attention to her humans.

ANNABELLE



Hi ! my name is Annabelle. I'm a female rat terrier mix. My foster mom says I'm a great dog. I am not any trouble, I am house-trained, and I love to sit next to her on the sofa. I get along with two big dobermans and a kitty. My foster mom said I will make someone a wonderful companion. I can stay in my crate at night if you want but I enjoy going for walks outside. I eat celery and carrots for treats, and enjoy squeaky toys.

CONNOR



Connor is a Sheltie mix a little over a year old; he is housetrained and walks very well on the leash. He is sweet and loving and wants to please, but needs to be in a home with adults only. He loves to ride in the car and run and play in his foster family's fenced yard. Connor is o.k. with other dogs, but he doesn't like cats. He is beautifully marked, with a blaze ending in a double widow's peak, and a full white collar with four white feet.

MAX



Max is a sweet senior boy, a husky mix who is about 11 years old. He is housetrained, loving, and still quite vivacious. He is a former SARG dog whose elderly owner could no longer take care of him, so he has returned to us. He probably could use a little refresher on his obedience training, but he is a great companion who always wears a happy smile on his sweet face.

SUSIE Q



Susie Q is a shy and sweet mix who looks like a cross between Corgi and Australian cattle dog. She is about 3 or 4 years old and weighs around 30 - 35 pounds. She is very attentive and people-oriented, quiet and well behaved. She has been in a foster home for several months and is housetrained.

JENNY



Jenny appears to be a mix of Dachshund and rat terrier, about 2½ years old. She is small--about 12½ pounds--and very social with people. She is active and energetic and loves attention. As you can see from her pictures, she has an amazing set of ears.

SAMMIE



The vet thinks Sammie is about 9 to 10 years old; he is a very loving male rat terrier mix. He is good with everyone, including kids and other dogs, loves to sleep in bed with his foster mom, under the covers, and will lap-sit for hours and hours, just wanting to be loved. Sammie needs to have someone home with him most of the time, or possibly a doggie companion, as he is very unhappy if left alone for long hours. Sammie was found in the highway median strip in Pigeon Forge, slightly injured by a car, and his owners could not be located. The minor cuts from the accident healed long ago, and he has also had to have many teeth removed...he has only 6 left, but he has no problem eating. He is housetrained and a wonderful little companion.

GRACIE



Gracie is a Jack Russell mix female, about 3½ years old. She has only a tiny stub of a tail, which we assume was docked. She can be calm and quiet but also playful, loves to snuggle and be petted. She is fine with other dogs and a little bit shy with new people. She must have some whippet or greyhound in her heritage, as she really loves to run at top speed, and also to dig; therefore she needs a large fenced yard that is secured to prevent her digging her way out.

Happy Tails -- Dogs Adopted or Pending

CHARLIE



Charlie is a sweet, smart, friendly, medium-sized, two-year-old border collie mix. He was brought into the shelter as a stray, but in his previous life he surely was someone's pet, because he is housetrained and well behaved. He is wonderful with people and other dogs, and he walks beautifully on a leash. He does need a home without cats, however. A fenced yard would be nice for him to run in, but a couple of nice, long walks each day would be fine too. Even though Charlie is probably part border collie, he does not herd and rarely barks. Because he is over the puppy stage, he does not chew and is quite calm--especially once he's been walked. Won't you please make this wonderful dog part of your life, and give him his forever home?

MITZI



Mitzi is a Cocker spaniel mix female who looks purebred. She weighs 22 pounds and is about 3 years old. She has a natural, very pretty "show-dog" stance. She is house-trained and is an active, friendly little girl who likes to play. She likes all people but would prefer to be the only dog in the household. We consider her a "special needs" pet because she has dry eye and will need drops a few times a day, probably for life.

CORA



Cora is a young female beagle, about 2 years old and 27 pounds. She was found as a stray in the Farragut area, so we are still getting to know her. She is a very sweet girl who appears to be housebroken. She has not had any accidents and has used our doggie door from the moment she came into the house. Cora has adapted very quickly to multiple new dogs and would probably do well with another doggie playmate to keep her from getting bored. She would make an excellent walking partner, as she loves to go for long walks. She is still working on her leash manners but is getting better every single day. She is a very pleasant dog who would make a great companion. She does have quite the nose on her, so a fenced yard is a must.

TRUDY



Trudy is a Chihuahua/rat terrier mix female, about 2 - 3 years old. She is very small -- about 12 pounds. Trudy is good with kids and other dogs, and she likes to ride in the car and go for walks. She loves to cuddle up with you anytime. She also is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go out.

WIMBERLY



Wimberly is a very cute, scruffy little female terrier mix. She weighs 13 pounds and is about 5 years old. She has outgrown puppy antics and has a peaceful personality. She likes to sit calmly by her master and look into their eyes for a smile, making her wag her tail. She is house-trained, gets along well with other dogs and cats, and walks on a leash right next to her master's side. Being quiet, she does not bark much.
More pictures of Wimberly.

EMMY



Emmy is a terrier mix female who weighs about 15 pounds. The vet has estimated her age at 4 - 5 years. Based on her first outing to an adoption event, we believe she may need a home without small children or other dogs. However, she was picked up as a stray in the company of another dog, so possibly she just needs time to adjust. We will post more information when we have had more time with her.

LILI PEARL



Lili is a very pretty blue tick hound mix, about 1½ years old. She is a bit shy and timid at first and takes a little time getting used to new people and new situations. Once she warms up, though, she is quite the character with a lot of personality. She would do really well in a home with another dog her size or larger. She loves to play and will do so non-stop if another dog is willing. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes, as she is being fostered with multiple dogs ranging in size from 6 to 20 pounds. Lili quickly learned our doggie door and is doing great with it, definitely showing she is housetrained. She is learning to walk on a leash and doing quite well with that. She loves to go for walks and would also do well with someone who jogged. Lili is pretty calm for a young hound, but is always up for a good romp in the back yard or a long walk. Lili does exceptionally well with cats -- she ignores them completely. She is not much of a barker, but she does have a BIG bark. And in typical hound fashion, must occasionally announce her presence to the world out in the back yard. Lili is good in the house and leaves most things alone. Crating would be a good idea in a new environment until she gets comfortable. She is a tall dog and has been known to counter-surf, but responds well to correction. Lili is a fun dog to have around and is a pleasant companion. While she is a hunting breed, she's definitely not a hunter and does not show any interest in that. She's a big sniffer on her walks and is interested in seeing everything around her.

BINKY



Binky is a small, white Pekingese male. He loves to spend his time in a lap and is very sweet and friendly. When we took Binky from the shelter, we weren't at all sure if the vet could save his eye. It was a touch-and-go situation, and he needed care every two hours around the clock for 48 hours, to have any hope of saving it. An angel agreed to foster him and do "eye duty" as prescribed. Fortunately, it worked, and with continued care and medication, the eye was saved, and he is one happy boy now. He has very little vision in that eye, but it doesn't bother him a bit. He is left with a dry-eye condition that requires us to find him a devoted family who will apply eye drops twice a day throughout his life. He is very cooperative with the drops and with his bath. He lives in a foster home with another small dog, and they do get along, but he would probably really love a home all to himself, with people who are around most of the time.

DAISY DUKE

     

Daisy Duke is a beautiful black and tan hound mix, probably about a year old. She was a stray in the Clinton/Oliver Springs Area of Anderson County. Unfortunately, she was not being cared for; she was covered in ticks and grossly underweight. She is now gorgeous and shiny, and her eyes are bright and inquisitive. She is very friendly, outgoing, and loving. She likes to lean against someone and be petted, and so far she appears to get along with everyone--men, women and children, and other animals. She wants to be LOVED! Could she be the light of your life?!

WOODY



Woody is a male mix of perhaps spaniel and terrier, about 5 years old. He weighs about 17 pounds and has lots of beautiful, black, wavy hair. He likes to lean against the nearest person and have his head scratched, and he seems to be a very sweet boy.
More pictures of Woody.

LINUS



Linus is a very active two-year-old terrier mix. He has the coloring and markings of a German shepherd, but has no GSD in his DNA. Linus is full grown, weighing about 30 pounds, and will fill out but not get taller from this point. He has lots of energy and would best fit an active family that has lots of room for him to run. Even though Linus enjoys the active lifestyle, he also enjoys snuggling.
