Our Super Hero, Captain Call, just arrived in New York and used his super powers to be adopted within hours! 😳 Wow! As he is snug and happy at his new forever home, he will release and share the rest of his super powers to the remaining 8 of the litter that traveled with him in the hopes that they will be adopted soon and be as ecstatic as he is now. ❤️

🎃🐾 A Halloween Happy Ending for Nine Sweet Puppies! 🐾🎃

Elmira, Clara, Lorena, Augustus, Captain Call, Pea, Newt, Deets, and Jake all hit the road yesterday on a very special journey! ❤️

These nine precious puppies came from Smith County, where there is no animal control or animal shelter to help little ones like them. Thankfully, their story took a turn for the better with the help of BCAWS volunteers and their special foster mom, Janet Lee, who took care of them and got them ready for this journey!

They are now headed to Homeward Bound Dog Rescue of New York, where new beginnings, brighter futures, and hopefully forever families are waiting! 🏡🐶

And talk about perfect timing! These nine little pumpkins made it out just in time for trick-or-treating! 🎃👻

Our sweet Lily full of hope and innocence left on transport yesterday heading for Homeward Bound Dog Rescue of New York. She came to BCAWS after a dog went after her face and left her with a swollen eye. 😳 It was a complete mess, but thanks to vet care 👩‍⚕️ and her foster mom looking after her, she healed and is a puppy full of energy and personality. 🥰. She is the sibling to Jolene, Wink, and Tilly who went up north a month ago and found their forever homes within days. Their mom, Luna, is under our care currently and hopes to make it up north soon so she can find her forever home like her pups did. Lily would like to thank her foster mom Alicia and her daughters Madison and Haley for taking such good care of her and making her all better so she could make this trip and BCAWS volunteer Lorens for making this all possible. 😘

Smokey XII (aka Neyland) gets his own NIL deal!

We will make some noise and send some love to our famous UT Star and BCAWS pup! 🐾🧡 Tennessee's very own Smokey XII has officially entered the NIL era, signing a historic brand partnership with The Farmer's Dog!

​From leading us through the historic "Power T" at Neyland Stadium to becoming a top-tier corporate pitchman as a rescue Bluetick Coonhound, Smokey is proving he's truly the MVP (Most Valuable Pup).
​Way to represent, Smokey! 🐶🔥

Coulters Grove Middle School assisted BCAWS volunteers yesterday painting 6 dog houses. 🤗 We are appreciative of everyone who helped with building them and all the young people who helped in painting them. They will come in very handy in the winter months ahead. 🐕 Woof, Woof! 🐾

We would like to thank each of the businesses who donated and supported our Paws & Pumpkins Festival this past Saturday to help the animals of BCAWS rescue. Everyone had a great time and it was definitely due to the help of these animal lover businesses. 💕 The public appreciates businesses who support their community and especially animals in need 🐶 🐈 , so again, thank you! 🥰

Two small young dogs, Yuki and Carly, are in dire need of a foster home or adopter. Here are their details:

- Age: Approximately 1 year old
- Weight: 15–17 lbs
- Temperament: Very shy, but not fear biters. They will hide until they become comfortable with new people. (Yuki will warm up faster than Carly.)
- Compatibility: Highly playful and great with other dogs; they also love toys.
- Requirements: Patience, and a fenced yard with a dog door so they can adjust at their own pace.

They will not do well in a shelter environment. Please message our page or contact Kristin at 865-599-4262 if you can help us with these 2 babies.
