APAAP is a non-profit, SMALL-DOG and puppy rescue in Chattanooga, TN operated by volunteers and funded by monies collected from adoption fees and donations.

No local county/city/state funding. Please shop Amazon/smile and pick us! All A Paw and A Prayer dogs are seen by a licensed veterinarian. All adults are spay/neutered, heartworm tested, dewormed, given rabies and DAPP booster. All puppies are given deworming medication, age-appropriate shots, and spay/neutered if they meet the age/weight criteria determined by the vet. All adults and puppies are chipped as well! A Paw and A Prayer Rescue started from friends with a common bond - to help dogs that were abandoned, neglected and abused in the Chattanooga and surrounding areas. We are volunteers who work other jobs and in our “spare” time we bring dogs into our home setting and begin the adoption process. We are not funded by any organization and operate from our own resources and donations. We rely entirely on the generosity of friends and strangers. Some dogs come to us by owners who no longer want them or who can no longer care for them. Often owners surrender their pets to local shelters and there is a chance that their beloved pet could be euthanized. This is where APAAP comes into the picture - we try to help reduce the number of pets turned into shelters. We also try to help our local shelters by pulling abandoned adoptable pets into our foster program. As APAAP has grown we have initiated a Foster Parent Program. Without our foster parents we could not pull and rescue as many dogs as we do. Amazon wishlist

‼️We can't believe this cutie is still looking for his forever home‼️

Some of you all remember Zeus who came in to our facility incredibly malnourished a few weeks ago! His foster has done well to get him to a stable place and he is ready for his permanent, forever home!

We think Zeus is potentially a pug mix, around 5 years old, already neutered and microchipped. His foster says he's doing well on his house training and crate training. He does well with other dogs in the home that are larger than him. He seems to do well in a car and has gone to events around town with his foster family. Apparently, he doesn't mind to dress up either!

If interested in adopting Zeus, please fill out the form at the link below. If you have any questions, please call/text the office at 423-598-2717.

💖🐾 Meet Chevy! 🐾💖

Chevy is a sweet, energetic girl who’s around 2 years old and ready to find her forever family! 🥰 Her mama looked a bit like a blue heeler, so her breed is a mystery! 🔎🐶

Chevy loves to play, gets along well with other dogs, listens well, and is a loving girl who’s potty trained and crate trained! ❤️ She’s up to date on her rabies vaccine and wears a Seresto collar, too.

Her perfect home will give her plenty of exercise, playtime, and love! 🏡💕

📩 Think Chevy might be your girl?
