A few volunteers let a few of our dogs out this morning to walk for a good cause! Thank you to Blount County Animal Welfare Society (BCAWS) for what you do! We enjoyed Dog Gone Wild Mile and all the festivities this morning! 🐾

Meet Locust 🖤🐾

One of our long-time residents, Locust, is an adult gentleman with a heart as big as his smile. This sweet, loving boy is always ready for affection and enjoys spending time with his favorite people. Locust has one very serious hobby: toys. He absolutely LOVES them. In fact, he loves them so much that he tends to eatthem! 😂 BECAUSE of his enthusiasm, Locust does best with durable, heavy-duty toys that can keep up with his play style. Despite his toy-destroying reputation, Locust is a gentle, affectionate companion who just wants love, attention, and something sturdy to carry around. He’s the kind of dog who will happily be by your side, soaking up pets and making you smile every day.

If you have a soft spot for sweet seniors and tough chew toys, Locust might just be your perfect match. ❤️

✨💖 It'ssy Bitsy... but make her fabulous. 💖✨

Some people think Itsy is "a lot." But then there’s us and we think she's just the perfect amount. 💅🐾 With her unique look, adorable smile, and sweet personality, this girl knows how to make an impression. Underneath all that sass and sparkle is a loving pup who just wants someone to see how special she really is. Itsy can be dog friendly and even has a playmate she enjoys spending time with at the shelter….because every friendship is different, a meet-and-greet is required with any potential canine siblings.

She's CUTE, she's QUIRKY, she's one of a kind and she's ready to trade shelter life for a forever home. 💕🏡 Come meet Itsy and see for yourself why the right people already know she's absolutely perfect. ✨🐶
