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."

Looks who's back at it again this week! Odin (A274826) has a LOT to say…and we love every second of it. 🐾🔥This sweet boy is lovable, vocal, eager to please, and once he settles in, he becomes absolutely laser focused. Watching his confidence build and his personality shine has been awesome. Odin is full of heart, full of potential, and still looking for his forever home. Come meet this boy today!

Odin is a little under two years old, neutered, and fully vaccinated. Find more information about the adoption process online at rutherfordcountytn.gov/adoption or stop by and see us at 285 John R Rice Blvd in Murfreesboro. 💙

Look at this nice update we received about Diamond! 🥰This sweet girl seems to be doing great with her new family.

"Diamond has settled into our family so well! Her favorite snack is carrots and pumpkin. She loves chewing on her bone and will carry it with her anywhere in the house. She has made friends with the cat and they nap together often now. She has lost a little bit of weight and is able to walk farther and farther each week and seems to be hurting less in her hips now. She loves to be where ever we are in the house and follows from room to room. We weren’t sure if she had selective hearing or not at first but it seems she is deaf or mostly deaf, so we have been working on hand signals as commands."

If you adopted a pet from us and have updates to share, we love to see them! And if you're looking to adopt a new furry family member, stop by and see us. We'll be open today until 3 PM. 🐶🐾
