Peppermint Paddy is a 2 year old female staffy/boxer mix. She is about 48lbs, and is full grown and will not get any bigger. Peppermint Paddy has lived a life of pure neglect. When you meet her you would NEVER know, she is so happy to meet everyone and smiling from ear to ear. She is gentle, and sweet, affectionate, and an overall wonderful pooch. I guess we understand why she is as happy as she is, she has finally escaped her living hell.  Peppermint Paddy would get loose occasionally from her owners, and neighbors, and locals would find her, and post her on social media " Found, very sweet sweet baby, someone has to be looking for this doll!" and her owners would come and get her,  this smiling happy girl, who was happy because she was free and got a nice meal from a nice stranger, even if for a short while, she was happy. But her owners would pick her up and throw her back in her outdoor kennel, with her puppies, who were also starving. Peppermint Paddy continued to find ways to get lose. Most likely due to being desperate to find food and water. Her puppies contined to try to drink from her, but her milk had dried up. Lack of food and water, and 6 hungry mouths to feed, her milk supply just wasnt cutting it anymore for the 8 -9 week old puppies who should be eating kibble at this age. Slowly, the puppies began to fade, one after another after another. Finally neighbors had enough, animal control wouldnt save the mom or pups, so they begged the family to allow the dogs to come to rescue. The agreed to place 2 of the puppies in rescue. But they wanted to keep the brindle male puppy, his mom Peppermint Paddy. They refused our offer to fix both the puppy and mom. They refused our pleas for the dogs to need socialization, they refused and said they are staying in the pen, they dont need to be socialized..  Their intention was to breed Peppermint Paddy with her male puppy, to produce more brindle puppies for them to sell.  We have tried multiple times to save both the last puppy, and Peppermint Paddy, finally they gave in and allowed us to take the 3rd puppy. A month went by,  we still continued to try to get them to surrender the mom to us. We couldnt leave her there, the last update we got was she was tied to a tree with so little slack she couldnt lay down, no food, no water, no form of shelter other than the tree.. They had her tied, because she escaped the pen again.  Finally we were told that they were allowing us to take Peppermint Paddy! We didnt waste a moment, we rushed to get her, and get her vetted. She got her freedom ride out of her horrific past or sheer neglect and disregaurd for her life.  Peppermint Paddy is now spayed, and medically up to date, and ready to find a REAL FAMILY,  a family who will love her as much as she will love them.  Peppermint Paddy deserves the best family, and home! We have made a promise to her, to find her, her happy furever after.  show less

Bubbes and Trinity were part of a hoarding situation where they were removed from the home they were living in. They were both taken to the shelter and the family signed both of them over to animal control.  Upon intake both Bubbles and Trinity were listed as about 10 months old, and were vetted with that age as the guesstimated age. Our vet believes they are atleast a year old. We are listing them as between 10 months and 18 months old. They are Dachshund/Chihuahua mixes or ( Chewinies) Trinity has had a not so wonderful past, and she is a tad bit shy and nervous when there is a big change, and she is suddenly with new people. She does adjust quickly, and once she realizes you are a nice person she warms up and wants to cuddle, and be on your lap. Once she knows youre his person, she will love you uncomditionally. She is not very accustomed to a leash but has been working on it, She is house trained, with a doggy door, and is working on pottying on leash more. Trinity is great with small dogs, shes not been around many large dogs, She has tested ok with cats on intake, she was aware the cat was there but she didnt pay any attention to the cat during this eval).  Due to Trinitys past we would recommend children older than 10 years old, who understand giving a dog space. A fenced in yard is prefered until she gets completely accustomed to the leash show less

Pumpkin came to PRL as an owner surrender, along with 2 other puppies (Willow, and Pecan) who are not related.  Pumkin is an 8/9 month old boston terrier/terrier mix, she currently weighs about 20lbs, and will not get much larger. The max she will grow to is about 25lbs, ( unless she becomes overweight).  Pumkin is a sweet, sensitive little girl. She was sad and scared when she was placed into foster care, but her owners had too much going on, they had an accidental litter (willow and pecan), and too many dogs to care for. We agreed to help by taking Pumpkin, Pecan and Willow in to rescue. Pumkin came from a home with small kids, and does well with them, but during the first week or so in a new place, she is quite timid, unsure and nervous, becasue of this we suggest older children 10 years and up, or no children. Pumkin is great with other dogs, and loves her people once she realizes you will be good to her (and give her some yumy treats) Pumkin is such a sweet, dainty little gal, who would love an owner who is confident, and who will be patient with her during the first few weeks. She would love a family will keep socializing her with other dogs, and people, since she lacks confidnece, the more people and dogs, and exposure to differnt environments, will help build up her confidence,  show less

Gunther, Tucker, and Walter are 3 month old male Great Dane/Lab mixes.    We were alerted to a group of 4 black puppies roaming the roads in TN. We had been asked to help and take them in, we began our search for them. Every time we got a call about their location, our volunteers would arrive and there would be no signs of the puppies. Volunteers left names and numbers with constuction workers, police officers and anyone in the area, for them to contact us if they spotted the puppies. We located the original owner of the puppies, who said she rehomed them, and the new family must have dumped them.She asked if we could take them into rescue, which we agreed we would if we could locate them. The puppies were starving, the first report they were on a farm eating the cow feed. Highway patrol told us the puppies had been running near the highway and had almost got hit numerous times. Finally we got a tip after 4 days of searching that a lady had pulled over and put all 4 puppies in her car. We couldnt locate this woman, so we put out a plea on social media. We got a message the next day that 3 of the 4 puppies were in a yard. We had volunteers rush to get the puppies. We immediately took them to the vet for testing, and medication,   Gunther and his siblings are typical puppies, they are learning about the world, practicing potty training, crate training, and how to be the best dog they can be. Gunther was the puppy who was the most nervous when we saved them. All 3 puppies are now healthy, happy and ready for FURever homes! These pups are gorgeous, and will be large dogs, due to their start in life, we would suggest a fenced in yard, and large breed experience show less

Rouge is a 2 month old male full bred Airdale terrier, we saved her and 3 of her siblings from a breeder who was selling them. We wanted to ensure they would find loving, caring furever homes where they would be taken care of and not chained up outside, or dumped later on. Which has been the trend in the south for some time. Rouge came from a litter of 12 puppies, another rescue took a few of the puppies in to their rescue, and some people bought puppies before we got there to save them. Rouge is a typical fun loving curious playful little girl, who loves everyone! We named her Rouge, from X-Men, her brother and sisters that we saved are Logan, Storm, and Jubliee  Airdale terriers are large breed dogs. They grow to be between 40-70lbs. They have hair not fur, and are a large breed hypoallergenic dog, like a standard poodle. Their coloring is brown and tan, and all 4 siblings are nearly identical. They are good breed dogs, smart, average energy level, and good with people.  Rouge and her siblings are only 2 months old, they are good with everyone and they will adjust well in almost any home they go to.Good with dogs, cats and children. These 4 pups will need to go to families who have fenced in yards. Rouge is currently working on potty training and crate training. show less
