Meet Cole 🤍

Cole is a big, beautiful white shepherd/huskey with an even bigger heart. He’s incredibly friendly, loves being around his people, and enjoys attention and companionship.

Cole can be a little shy at first and may not do well in large groups of people or very busy environments. He would thrive in a calmer home with someone patient who can help build his confidence at his own pace.

Because of his size, intelligence, and shepherd personality, Cole would do best in a single pet home and with an experienced adopter who understands the breed and can provide structure, confidence, and continued training. He’s a wonderful dog with so much love to give, but he needs someone prepared to help him truly thrive.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have experience with large working breeds, Cole may be the perfect fit for you.

Please message for more information or to meet Cole! 🐾

Big thank you to the Sevier County Humane Society for taking in two of our longest residents, Baby and Yogi! These two have been with us for quite a while, so they definitely hold a special place in our hearts.

We’re so glad they’re going somewhere they’ll get lots of love and attention, and hopefully find their perfect homes soon. We’ll miss them, but we know they’re in good hands. Thank you for everything you do for these animals! ❤️

🐾 Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home 🐾

Meet Ozzy & Elvira a brother and sister duo with hearts as big as their personalities! 💖 These two are a bonded pair, which means they’ve grown up side by side and share a special connection that can’t be broken. Because of that, they’re looking for a loving home where they can stay together.

Ozzy is the playful, goofy brother who loves to make you laugh. Whether it’s chasing a toy or zooming around the yard, he’s always ready for fun.
Elvira, his sweet sister, balances him perfectly with her gentle, affectionate nature. She loves cuddles, quiet moments, and being close to her people.

Together, they:
✨ Keep each other company and comfort
✨ Bring double the love (and double the tail wags!)
✨ Are already best friends all they need is you

They would do best in a home that understands the beauty of a bonded pair and is ready to welcome two loving souls. If you're looking for companionship, loyalty, and twice the joy, Ozzy & Elvira are your perfect match.

📩 Message or call for more info or to meet Ozzy & Elvira!
