Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary

We specialize in medically disabled and senior dogs. We provide all necessary medical care and provide a loving environment until the end of their days.

Due to the rising population of stray and abandoned dogs, we do help the community in taking small dogs under 25 lbs in on a case by case basis. There must be a foster available to house a larger dog. If an owner cannot be located, we will vet and adopt out (if they don’t meet the sanctuary criteria to stay).

Despite the rain we have had a great day. All four puppies are now at their very own furever homes. Lila and Oreo went home together with The Emig Family. Buckley has found a new home with The Gonzalez and Kreutzman Family. He has furaiblings awaiting him there. Last but not least, Trixie has found a new home with The Donahue Family. We are so very excited for our pups. We will miss them terribly, but know that they will be bringing joy to the family they are with now. Happy Tails.

Calling all Border Collie lovers!!!

Sissie is a 10 1/2 month old Border Collie mix weighing in at 31 pounds. Sissie has had a hard beginning. The owner that dumped her out in the wilderness allowed her to get pregnant her first heat cycle. She was dumped just before the birth of her 4 puppies out in the woods. She gave birth in the middle of nowhere. She let her health and weight suffer trying to care for those puppies all on her own. We were alerted to her when her puppies were just three weeks old. We brought them into the rescue and immediately scheduled them for a veterinary visit. Sissie was the worst of the five. They were all heavily flea infested and Sissie developed an allergy to the flea bites, causing her to lose quite a bit of her hair. She was heartworm negative, but diagnosed with two tick diseases, Lyme’s Disease and Ehrlichiosis. We immediately flea treated her and the puppies. Sissie began and is almost finished with the treatment that will cure her of the two tick diseases. We also started a weekly medicated bath to correct the skin issues. Sissie developed mastitis when her puppies were 4 weeks old and they had to be pulled. She started and has completed treatment for that and is doing well. Sissie will be available for adoption as soon as she is spayed. We are waiting for her milk bags to return to normal before we do this. We are now taking applications for her adoption. Sissie is heartworm negative and up to date on her vaccinations. She is currently on flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention. We are calling Monday to schedule her spay because her teats have almost returned to normal. If you are interested in Sissie please go to our website and pre-apply. Our website is

Sissie and her pups are doing great. Sissie’s mastitis has completely healed up and she will be spayed soon. It’s hard to believe the pups are going to their homes on Sunday. We will definitely miss them, though we are happy to be sending them to wonderful families. Two of the puppies even get to stay together. We will post pics of their adoption. We are taking applications on Sissie. Log on to our website www.voicelessmomentsdogsanctuary.com for more information.

We are reposting because these four pups were dumped about a month ago. A good samaritan has taken them in and they are now being fostered u see Voice Moments Dog Sanctuary. By law we have to seek an owner for at least three days. They were found on the Indian Mound side down by the ferry that crosses to Cumberland City on Hwy 46/233. If you have any information please call us at 931-516-9418 or message us. There are three females and one male.

Thank you to the Petfinder Foundation for awarding Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary and Rescue a 2024 Kia Pet Adoption Grant! We have used this grant to get 6 dogs adopted so far.

UPDATE: All the puppies have been adopted. Stay tuned we have the mother and four new puppies getting ready to be up for adoption.

We still have one puppy left to adopt out. Release date of November 7. Buckley is still looking for a home. Buckley is 6 weeks old and has had his first puppy shot. He is on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He has had two wormings and will receive one more in two weeks. He is a Border Collie mix. He is very playful and, as you can tell, loves his meals. At last weigh in he was 8 pounds. You may check him and our other adoptables out on our website at www.voicelessmomentsdogsanctuary.com

We would like to thank the citizens of Stewart, Houston, and Montgomery Counties. We had numerous people come and stop at our table at PetSmart today. We received $98 in donations. We were not able to take any dogs today because the dogs were have are not ready for adoption yet due to needing medical treatment. We were still allowed to set up and allow people to pre-apply for the dogs we have in the rescue. Thank you for all the support and kind words.

10/27/2024

It’s official. The Allen family has gone from foster to adoption. Mikey now Ranger, has really taken to the inside life and is doing great. Congratulations Ranger and family.

UPDATE: LILA AND TRIXIE ARE PENDING ADOPTION

These pups were born out in the wilderness on Woodland Hills Road after their mother, Sissie, was dumped noticeably pregnant with a horrible skin infection. The puppies were weighed Sunday. The weights will be listed in the photos description. Fleas are gone, but they continue itching. Like their mother they have an allergy to fleas. We have discussed this with our veterinarian and she says to continue what we are doing and the puppies will quit itching eventually. We have them a much needed oatmeal bath today to help with the itching. Visit our website for more information on the pups and their mom.

What an awesome day. Mikey is on a foster to adopt mission. The Allen’s have two other Plott Hounds for him to play with and he is going to be an inside dog. Fingers crossed 🤞 that all goes well and he is there to stay. The Allen’s are a wonderful family that has big hearts. Mikey is a lucky boy. If you’ll remember, him and his companion Buddy were abandoned on an empty lot in Stewart County. Hoorah for Mikey.

Sissie is healing nicely from her bout of mastitis. Since pulling the puppies, her milk has started to dry up. Sissie’s skin condition is on the mend as well, but it will require more weekly medicated baths to get it fully healed. If you wish to learn more about Sissie or get pre-approved for adoption, visit our website. It has both a printable application and an electronic application.

Another Milestone for the pups!!! The pups mom, Sissie, had mastitis and can no longer nurse. The puppies did so well on gruel that we gave them softened puppy food. They loved it. Afterwords we had an enrichment session with their very own first toys.

ANOTHER MILESTONE!!!

The pups seem like they’re growing so fast. Their mom, Sissie, has mastitis and can no longer nurse. The puppies did so well on gruel, they had their first bowl of softened dog food. They were also introduced to toys.

The Weaning Process Has Started

The pups had their first bowls of gruel (ground up puppy food and puppy milk replacer). Some got it right away. Others were content with licking it off the side of the bowl. It was sure messy.

With unbridled enthusiasm, Casper prances and wags his tail, a true marvel of resilience in the face of his recent 39-tooth extraction and neuter surgery. His upcoming September 26th appointment marks a crucial milestone in his journey, as X-rays will inform the most effective surgical strategy. #adoptdontshop #strong #love #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dogsanctuary #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #strong #love #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dogsanctuary #rescuedog #rescue

Would You Leave Your 2-Year-Old Out in the Yard Alone? What Could Happen When Leaving Your Dog Out in the Yard Alone? THERE ARE GRAPHIC IMAGES OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO AN ANIMAL LEFT UNATTENDED, BUT PLEASE WATCH THROUGH THEM FOR EXAMPLES OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN. I can’t tell you how many times as a rescuer I have heard, “My animal never leaves the yard?” or “I only went inside for a minute.” The animal may be very intelligent and trained to commands or borders, but what some individuals don’t understand is that a lot of times instinct and impulse take command over any training or previous behaviors. Primary examples of instinctual behavior is breeding behaviors (i.e., an animal can smell a female in heat up to 1 mile away), prey driven behavior (i.e., an animal chasing a mouse, squirrel, or deer into the woods), protective behaviors (i.e., another person or animal coming into the yard so the animal believes it needs to defend its territory), or wandering behaviors (wandering into other individuals yards and possibly becoming injured by another animal or being shot by the property owner. These are just a few behaviors that animals have. There are also dangers that face an animal that is left outside unattended. These include: Being hit by a car, animal attacks, being stolen by other individuals, getting lost and never making it home, death by the elements, etc. Have you ever stopped to think that just because the animal “has always come back” or “has never left the yard before” that they are always going to do this. Not to mention the leash law in the state of Tennessee. Yes, in most rural counties animals there are hunting dogs and working dogs that are allowed to some extent to move out of property lines. TN Code 44-8-408. Animals and Animal Husbandry. (b) The owner of a dog commits an offense if that dog goes uncontrolled by the owner upon the premises of another without the consent of the owner of the premises or
