A Paw And A Prayer Dog Rescue 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

This sweet senior boy is in need of a new forever home. Meet Kilo! He is a 12 year-old, 74 pound, Lab mix. He's a cuddly couch potato. He is good with cats and kids, but will do best as the only dog in the home. He is house trained. Neutered. Hoping someone will give this sweet old boy a chance and let him be a part of their life. If you are interested in meeting Kilo, then please click the link below to apply.

Needing foster or adopter ASAP for this sweet male pitbull mix. He weighs 50 pounds and is approximately nine months old. His name is Hutson. We were told he is good with other dogs, cats and kids. If you are able to help, please contact Jennifer at the office at 423-598-2717. His family moved and dumped him off on us and he is much too big for us to house at the shelter since we only take small dogs that weigh less than 20 pounds.

Meet Casper! This beautiful boy is a 16lb, 1-2yr old, Miniature Poodle. Very sweet and calm. Great with other dogs and we think he would do fine with kids. Do not know how he does around Cats? Seems to be house trained. We have an appointment for him tomorrow at ChattaNeuter to get neutered, his rabies shot, micro chipped, and heartworm tested. He is available for adoption at our facility! If you are interested in adopting Casper, then please click the link below to apply.

Oh my gracious - this helped solidify an already good day into a GREAT day!😇

“Tater went to vet today for weight check and 2nd set of shots......he did so good. Dr Bihl says he's perfect except diarrhea so we are changing his food to less fat and more fiber. He was 6 lbs 2 weeks ago...now 10lbs......little chunky monkey here is sooo happy and healthy. We love him so much and thank you all for blessing us with him”

I cant believe noone reached out about meeting Posie this weekend! Posie is a 13 pound female terrier mix. Super friendly. When she isn't playing she is a complete cuddle bug. Very smart learning how to use a dog door in one day of being at her foster's. Good with other dogs as long as they match her energy level. This little girl loves to play so would do best with other dogs who like to play also. She may be a little too much energy for small kids, but would be fine with older ones. Probably too much energy for anyone who is elderly as well. We do not know how she is with Cats? If you are interested in meeting Posie, then please click the link below to apply and call or txt Alicia at 423-650-8842.
