Porky is our newest foster and he deserves a proper introduction!
Porky came to us from MACC, where their intakes are at an ultimate high and unfortunately with limited space for dogs, Porky found himself in an urgent situation. Like so much of Tennessee, amazing dogs are at risk because the state is so overrun with dogs due to unwanted litters and irresponsible owners.
But anyways, let's tell you about Porky! He's a big boy weighing in at 85lbs. We've estimated him to be a 4-year-old German Shepherd. He is Heartworm negative and he's up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives. He was neutered last week so he's all set to be adopted out immediately.
Porky enjoys water, especially coming out of a hose or sprinkler. He's had zero accidents in the house. Hector and Porky have become bffs! He is cat and dog friendly. Porky prefers life with all four paws on the ground and has not attempted to get up on the furniture, no matter how much coaxing Nolan does! He prefers to sleep on his dog bed at night.
Overall, he's a German Shepherd lovers dream!

He is available for adoption through Community Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.). We will put his adoption link in the comments.

We picked up a new foster dog tonight!
Meet Trooper!
We are hoping he will get adopted on Saturday and be able to settle at his new home. If that falls through, we will share more info about him. (We’ve already shared his story earlier in the week)

Today is the day that The Floof gets to meet his adopter! He’s come so far in his short time at our house, from the scared timid guy on day 1 to the ultimate snuggler that he is today. Tundra and Hector became best friends during his time here.
Tundra is a poster child for foster homes save lives! Fostering from a kill shelter gives us a deeper bond with the animal because we know they had no chance if it wasn’t for hopping in the truck with Nolan and coming to our house until they were adopted.
I think we will look back and say “The Floof was the one that got away” but instead we are being less selfish and sharing this snuggly floofy boy with an adopter that seems perfect for him 💜
(If you see me with teary eyes today, it’s all happiness for my Floof!)

Sweet little Date & Fig went to rescue today!
I missing these little purr-boxes but I’m so excited for them to be on their freedom ride!
They had quite a journey in their short little time. They were found at only a couple of days old, had a bottle baby foster for a few days, then we’re accepted by a nursing mother, they battled coccidia at a young age and had whipworms. And they never stopped purring and being lovable.
Good luck little babes, we love you!

Thank you! 💜💜💜

Thank you for making an impact. Enjoy some recent fosters with Nolan.

Meet Tundra!
He’s the new kid in the Man Cave hanging out with Hector and Nolan.
Sadly he was not doing well at the shelter and was labeled FAS - which often leads to dogs being euthanized when intakes are outweighing adoptions. His time was up, but Nolan rushed to MACC to ensure he got a second chance!
He’s estimated to be 4 years old. He’s microchipped. Getting neutered shortly. Cat friendly ✅ dog friendly ✅
He is shy for about the first 5 minute of you being with him, then he’s all tail wags and kisses!
It’s our first night with him, so he’s sleeping in his crate and Nolan pulled out the twin mattress to sleep next to him.
He’s basically perfect! He’s available through CARE, message us if you want his adoption link!

Boyce went on an adventure to Bowie this evening!
He loves watching all the wildlife and he just continues walking past others on the trail. We wore him out by the end of the walk. I forgot a water bowl 🤦‍♀️ but luckily my Mom had an empty coffee cup 🤣

Whoever adopts this boy is getting such a fun loving dog!

Happy Birthday to Tiff!

She's the best foster mom from bottle-baby kittens to door-knob-eating German Shepherds she knows how to make them feel loved and take care of all in between. The shelter pets are so lucky to have you as an advocate to help them find their forever homes.

Calling all fosters!
Time is running out on raising your hand to foster. There's some really amazing dogs at Huntington who have been there for some time and are looking for someone to give them a chance.

Reach out if you've got space for a dog who just needs the bare minimum; food, water, and a safe place to sleep.

Who runs the world?
Definitely Hector.

🚨New Foster Alert🚨

Meet Boyce, a one year old GSD that Nolan picked up yesterday while Tiff was out of town for work. Boyce is from Memphis Animal Services where the volume of dog intakes is so incredibly high, they are forced to euthanize for space. Sweet Boyce found himself with a euth date of 5/1. Thanks to Nolan’s quick response and a lot of hard work from a whole team of people, Boyce was saved!
He will be available soon through so we will share his adoption profile as soon as it is posted. Rubies and Rogues is a rescue group that we have not fostered for before, so there may be a learning curve for us!
But peep the crossed paws! 😍😍🥳

Does this dog make me look skinnier?
Pro tip - get yourself a big dog with a big head who is a certified good boi!

Tim “The Toolman” Taylor is looking for his Al Borland in life and is available for adoption! Check out his profile on care.rescuegroups.org

New foster alert!!!
During our Huntingdon visit today, we met sweet Topanga. She’s a small, young pup that is unfortunately pregnant. She was tagged by a rescue but the transport doesn’t leave for a few days. So instead of waiting at the pound, we loaded her up to stay with us for a few sleeps. She got a bath, some good food, some hydration and a cozy dog bath!
She’s a complete sweetheart and I know she will thrive with her next rescue!

💕Meemaw Update💕
Several people have texted me today asking “how’s Meemaw today?” So it made sense for a new update!

Meemaw has had a rough 48 hours. She started showing signs of Kennel Cough on Friday. Luckily one of my awesome friends was able to loan us a couple of meds to get her started, in the middle of the night. She had congested and labored breathing and was overall just uncomfortable and struggling to get a good deep breath. Well, that medicine upset her stomach so she spent the wee hours of Saturday vomiting. Thankfully we were able to get a walk-in appointment at our local vet, where she received a shot on cerenia to assist with the nausea, and an antibiotic that is gentler on the tummy. The vet confirmed kennel cough, also determined she has an ear infection in both ears and took a look at her skin. Due to Meemaw being highly contagious, all this was done in the backseat of the truck! The vet was concerned with her skin, but reassured us that we are doing all the right things and heading in the right direction of getting her skin and coat healed. The vet is also optimistic that the antibiotics will help with some of the crusty and infected wounds that she has.
Here’s the challenge, and where Meemaw needs some good vibes! She’s an extremely picky eater. So we are having a difficult time get her some proper nutrition. Also, it’s a struggle to get her to take her pills and eat enough food for the medication to not upset her tummy further. Meemaw’s sweet Auntie hooked her up with a buffet of assorted foods, so that variety is absolutely helping!
This is certainly a journey, but she’s got a good spirit and is just the sweetest girl there is!

Time to officially introduce, Meemaw!
Meemaw is a sweet ole thing that we snagged from earlier in the week. She was a stray found in a Walmart parking lot searching for some scraps of food to eat. She had intake done at the shelter and then we picked her up a few days later. The shelter was looking for a foster because 1) they are SO full - so by us taking Meemaw, it freed up a kennel space and saved another dog from potentially being euthanized for space. 2) she is very uncomfortable, she’s got some itchy skin and sore hips 3) she’s got a little bit of a doggy cold so recovering in a home settling keeps her from spreading anything to other animals.

She’s incredibly polite! House trained and just the sweetest 12 year old GSD you could ever imagine. She’s only 67 # so she’s on the smaller side of a GSD, but definitely skinny and needs go put on a good bit of weight.

We are going to take a little time to get her perked up before we get her posted for adoption. In the mean time, we will share lots of sweet ole Meemaw content!

Nolan picked up a new foster dog! It appears both are greatly enjoying each other’s company.
The sisters can’t wait to meet her soon!
She is a senior shepherd that is on the smaller side. We are going to spend some time getting her healthy and then she will be available for adoption! She just needs a few baths, some healthy dog food and she will be ready for her forever home in no time!

Happy Happy Birthday to Sister Brit!!!!!
She’s the best kitten, puppy, dog and Salt snuggler around! Be sure to wish her Happy Birthday 🩷

Congrats to Hector for winning Employee of the Month while Nolan naps!
Lula has been a really great houseguest. Uses the puppy pads, not much barking and is an A+ snuggler!
is always looking for puppy fosters! Sometimes for two days to two weeks.
She’s heading back to the shelter tomorrow, but she’s been a fun weekend guest!

Empty van… whoop whoop!
Mama Dogs and puppies, kittens, cats, adult dogs, puppies, seniors and everything in between made it up to northern rescues. Thanks to for allowing us to drive them north!

Shelters need fosters! Fosters open to what animals need fostering! It shouldn’t matter the breed, the size, and all the other excuses. Just foster. Period.

Jason Kelce said it best- AHS is in need of foster families!

Whether you’re interested in helping out a senior cat in need, a dog who is drastically shelter stressed or a special needs pet- there is a pet to fit every foster families life at the shelter!

Fostering does so much good for the pet involved- why wouldn’t you foster?

New year, new beginnings! If you’ve upgraded your linens this holiday season, consider giving your old but clean towels, blankets, and sheets a second life by donating them to a local animal shelter or rescue. Let us know if you have some to spare, and we’ll can arrange a pick up plan.

23/12/2023

Jeremy here with all my toe beans! Im ready to celebrate Christmas Eve Eve! My foster Mom and Aunt are heading to Cheatham Co Animal Control today to hopefully adopt out several cats so they can be home for the holidays. They also keep talking about a “Lucky Penny” so I think that’s what will be in my stocking!

19/12/2023

Clarice! She’s my favorite pup at the Newark shelter. She so sweet and really opened up to me on our walks. Her and her brother deserve a loving home for the holidays (even if it’s not mine 😂)

Four hands for four kittens makes corralling them a little bit easier! Thanks to Nolan for the brunch hour activities!
