Meet Gus!

Gus is a sweet, shy boy who becomes incredibly loving with a little time and patience. He may be cautious at first, but once he feels comfortable, his fosters say his goofy, playful personality really shines! ❤️

Gus loves his people and also does wonderfully with other dogs. He’s a special boy who just needs a family willing to give him a little time to settle in and show them just how lovable he is.

You may remember Boxer mom Isabella had 8 pasta litter pups? We were lucky enough to work with Tamara and Homeward Bound Rescue plus their foster Krista who opened her home to three. We gotta say, 8 large breed pups and a tired mom that needed to heal herself once 8 weeks old, is a bit much for any rescue. We hear Mani hit 27 lbs at adoption. Wowza. So happy to see these happy families. The pups were adopted quickly once north and that’s just want we hope for.

This day the last of Isabella’s pups is getting adopted. Gnocchi will be heading home. Watch for his post.

Miller here checking in. Thought you might like to know my Small Dark and Handsome self got the all clear for a new home.

Now single file all, I know my good looks are compelling. I do however have a set list of criteria for my future family as I am part Dachshund and part beagle and 100% unique and know it.

First off,
I have seen a bit of Facebook and think my new family should be clients with Livvi of Travelwithlivii. I mean seriously, private jets, steaks flown in same day for a bash, a party planner on speed dial, jet setting, luxury ocean liners, world travel, celebrities, etc.

Ok DANG, they tell me I have set my sights too high, I am from rural TN, but a guy can dream.

So let’s try this again.
I want a family, one that loves me, cherishes me, knows the value I bring. One I can make laugh, smile and wonder how they ever lived without me. I may make them a bit crazy or produce a few tears at first as I am a puppy but heck, take a chance. Mold me, love me, choose me?

I am around 2.5 months old, 7.5 lbs, my mom was a beagle and they say dad was a dachshund. I didn’t get the classic short legs but I am a bit smaller and have the classic beagle look

I am fun, fabulous and frisky as most pups will be. I just got off quarantine so I am enjoying what life has to offer.

So are you looking to offer up your heart and home to your new best friend?

You can apply at Recycledbestfriends.org today. They tell me your questions are covered there too so head on over.

Don’t wait, I am a one and only so you snooze you lose.

Knoxville TN.
