Paco came to us in 2017. He had been abandoned by his owner and was left to wander the streets of Dover, TN. He had a severely malformed front leg. In 2019 he suffered from immense pain due to disk disease in his back. He started to have seizures in 2021. Paco is now around 16 years old. He enjoys relaxing on the couch with his momma.
Max came to our family in 2012. He came from an abusive family at 1 year old. In 2013 he was diagnosed with Immunologic Hemolytic Anemia. He was treated for the next five years until the medication damaged his liver. He was taken off the medication to allow his liver to heal. He is 14 years old now and enjoys relaxing on the couch.
Jasmine came to our home in 2014. Jasmine has since developed two large lipomas on her abdomen. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2023 and is currently on insulin to regulate her glucose levels. Jasmine is considered our pack leader. She enjoys sitting in her daddy's recliner and playing with her toys. She is currently 9 years old.
Molly came to us in January of 2015. She was an unwanted puppy that was set to be dropped on the side of the road. We took her in and gave her a family. In April of 2022 she tore her cruciate ligament and had to undergo TPLO surgery to repair it. She went into kidney failure August of 2023 and crossed the rainbow bridge.
Daisy came to us in 2019. She was abandoned by her owner on the streets of Dover, TN. She had extremely bad skin conditions and most of her hair was missing. In 2021 she suffered an eye injury and had to have her right eye removed. She was diagnosed with a Grade 5 heart murmur and crossed the rainbow bridge in January 2022.
Chewy came to us in December 2019. He was rescued from a puppy mill situation and rushed into the vet for a severe case of ringworm, coccidia, and leg malformation due to a nutritional deficiency. He had a very poor prognosis upon arrival. We brought him home and treated his skin condition and coccidia with veterinary assistance. We did physical therapy and started him on a proper diet to correct his malformed back legs. He was soon able to use his back legs properly. Chewy quickly became a daddy's boy. In April of 2023 he was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and has since been put on a special diet to help prevent attacks. Chewy is now 4 years old and enjoys sitting in the recliner with his daddy and playing with his toys.
Winston came to our home in December 0f 2022. When he came to us we discussed with the veterinarian the possibility of removing a portion of his little nubby tail should the need arise. His nubb curves into towards his rump and will have to be surgically removed now. He is currently 1 year old and loves his toys.
Walter came to us as a runt in July 2023. He is half the weight he should be and has severe stomach problems and jaw malformation due to a severe underbite. We have to watch him carefully and sometimes aid him in clearing his nose because he regurgitates his food. Walter loves playing with his toys. He recently turned one year old.
Our Names Are Annabelle & Cocoa
Originally Annabelle and her brother Cocoa came to us in July 2024. Their previous owner decided that he did not want to deal with them anymore and drove them across town and dumped them down a dead-end street by the river. Annabelle and Cocoa were on their own for three weeks before we received the call to intervene. They finally wandered up the road a few miles and found help with the Hickman Creek neighborhood. They were covered in fleas and ticks when we got them. Thankfully the neighborhood had been sitting food out for them, so they were not too underweight.
All About Us
Annabelle and Cocoa were adopted together fall of 2024. We received a sad message on January 1st, 2025, that the adopters wished to return them. They said their work schedule had changed to include some long hours and they believed that Annabelle and Cocoa still had too much puppy in them to be crated all day. So, once again, Annabelle and Cocoa have to suffer through another traumatic move. Yes, they are familiar with us and our pack, but make no mistake, changing homes and routines is very stressful for an animal.
​
We are seeking a home that can take in both Annabelle and Cocoa. They are littermates that have never been separated from one another. They relied on each other out in the wilderness to stay alive. They are an extremely bonded pair. Annabelle is spayed. She is up to date on her heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention. They have been tested for heartworms and 3 tick diseases and all came back negative. Both Annabelle and Cocoa are microchipped. Annabelle is a female, and she is spayed. Cocoa is a male, and he is neutered.
They both have so much love to give. Annabelle is definitely the more submissive of the two. She enjoys love and kisses from her human. Cocoa prefers to spend his time chewing on his hard Nylabone chew toys. They both still have some puppy in them and need time outside, in a fenced yard, to run off some energy. They both get along with other dogs and cats. The previous family had children. We are still unsure how they would do with smaller children, but their playfulness would have to be watched to prevent them from jumping up in excitement. Annabelle and Cocoa are excellent car riders. They are both housebroken and the previous adopters said that they were crate trained. We will be re-evaluating them to see new behaviors and triggers. They love keeping each other and their humans company.
