Meet Grunt (A275124)! This two-year-old boy has a deep, intimidating bark that matches his name, but he’s really just a big, lovable teddy bear. 🧸He’s a well-behaved pup that knows a few tricks, and he’d love to find a home where he can relax and get all the pets (and treats) he deserves.

Grunt is about 75 pounds, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Stop by the shelter and meet him today! 🐶We’ll be open at noon, and you can learn more about the adoption process at rutherfordcountytn.gov/adoption 🐾💙.

Happy Wednesday from Haaland (A273646)! 🐶This friendly and playful 3-year-old boy has been at the shelter since March and is currently our longest resident. He loves going out with staff and volunteers for playtime and exercise, and he enjoys being a regular on the slatmill each week. 🥎🐕While he’s been such a good boy during his stay at the shelter, he’s seen so many other dogs come and go, and he’d be thrilled to find a loving home of his own soon.

Haaland is about 70 pounds, neutered, and up-to-date on his vaccines. As the longest resident, his adoption fee has been waived in hopes of finding this sweet boy a family. For more information about our adoption process and requirements, please visit rutherfordcountytn.gov/adoption 🐾. We’ll be open today from 12 to 1:30 and 2 to 6 PM at 285 John R Rice Blvd in Murfreesboro, so stop by and say hello!

Thanks to for bringing over some nice pup cups for our pups! 🐶💙They all seemed to enjoy them, though Haaland wanted to jump around and get a little extra playtime in before accepting the treats 🤣.

Check out this great update about Penny! 🥰

"She has settled very well. She loves going to the dog park to play. She also has made friends with our neighbor's little poodle. She has also found a love for squeaky tennis balls. And loves her large lambchop. She is doing great and has opened up so much since she came to live with us. She has made so many friends. Oh and she loves getting her pup cups where we go."
