JAYLEN - NM
Age: ~ 8 - 12 Months Old
Weight: 34 lbs
Breed: Rescued
Meet the most gentle soul with a heart full of potential, Jaylen. Jaylen’s story began in uncertainty. He was abandoned alongside his mother and two siblings, left at a stranger’s home with no explanation. Thankfully, this little family found their way into the loving care of our fosters in Tennessee, and mom and both siblings have since found their forever homes. But Jaylen’s path has been a little different…a little slower, and a little more tender.
While his siblings blossomed quickly, Jaylen held back, unsure of the world around him. It became clear that what he needed most was time, patience, and a calm environment to help him feel safe. After placing him in a foster home for several weeks, Jaylen made steady progress and is slowly learning to trust.
Jaylen is still a very cautious and sensitive dog. He startles easily and can be wary of new people, especially men (hats seem to be particularly suspicious in his book!). But here’s the beautiful part: behind his nervousness is a deeply affectionate, loyal boy who wants to connect. He’s been bravely showing us that love is in there, just waiting for the right person to help him bring it out.
This special guy is looking for an equally special home. A home that’s quiet, predictable, and experienced with fearful dogs. A confident canine companion would be most ideal for Jaylen. He needs a guide to show him the ropes, offer comfort, and to engage him with the play sessions he craves with other canines. A low-traffic household without young children is a must, as too much commotion is still overwhelming for him.
Jaylen’s ideal person will be someone who sees progress in small victories: the tail wags, the gentle paw placed on your chest, and the meaningful kisses. Someone who understands that trust is earned, and that the slow journey to love is the most rewarding of all. With treats (he’s very food motivated!) and positive reinforcement, Jaylen is already learning that people can be kind and safe.
While he’s still working on building confidence outside the home, Jaylen has started to enjoy leash walks especially when he has a canine friend by his side. A fenced-in yard would be a big bonus for him, giving him a safe space to decompress and feel free. He does well in his crate and barely had an accident during his time in his foster home.
We know Jaylen may never be the kind of dog you take with you everywhere, but in the right hands, he will be someone’s heart dog. He’s the type of dog who looks at you like you hung the moon, because you took the time to show him that love doesn’t have to hurt.
Jaylen is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. We’re open to a foster-to-adopt arrangement to ensure the best fit for both Jaylen and his future family.
If you're the kind of person who finds joy in quiet moments and understands the deep reward of helping a fearful dog learn to love, Jaylen just might be your perfect match. His journey isn’t finished, but maybe you’re the missing piece.

FRANNIE - F
Age: ~ 4.5 Months Old
Weight: 18 lbs
Breed: Rescued
Meet Frannie! Frannie is one of seven adorable puppies who narrowly escaped a heartbreaking fate. Their owner, who was sick and extremely poor, was planning to give them away in a Walmart parking lot before rescue stepped in and gave them a chance at a brighter future. Now, after six weeks in foster care, these pups are ready to find loving homes where they can truly shine.
Frannie is a happy, fun-loving pup who is full of potential. Frannie loves to play and is great at entertaining herself–whether it’s running around with her doggy friends, throwing around a good toy or chewing on a stick. Frannie has not met any children yet, but she’s got a nice temperament to do great with them with the proper boundaries. Frannie has been interested in our cats at the shelter, but other than being a puppy pest we think she would be fine with a dog-savvy feline in the home.
Frannie learned how to use a doggy door while in her foster home, but since she’s still young, she’ll need some guidance to get back on track with potty training once she settles into a new environment. She is full of energy and could play for hours if she had the chance! She’d thrive in a home where she can get plenty of playtime, love, and positive reinforcement as she grows into an amazing companion.
Frannie is microchipped and up-to-date on her monthly preventatives and is fully up-to-date on her age-appropriate vaccines. She’s ready to give you a lifetime of love and loyalty!

DAISY - F
DOB: 11/29/2024
Weight: 24 lbs
Breed: Rescued
Meet Daisy! This adorable love is the last of her litter, still waiting to blossom in her forever home. She was one of nine squirmy, squiggly, wiggly puppies who came to us in heartbreaking condition. They arrived as an owner surrender, and it was clear they hadn’t known much love or care. Severely malnourished, their tiny hip bones jutted out, their bellies were swollen with worms, and their fur was coarse and patchy from a lice infestation. This was a result of them being kept in a chicken coop in unsanitary conditions. It took two whole days before they stopped overeating, simply because they finally felt full.
Even after all she’s been through, Daisy is pure sunshine. This bright-eyed girl is playful, energetic, and overflowing with tail wags. Her goofy wiggles and squishy snuggles will leave you smiling from ear to ear. Daisy is the definition of a family dog. She’s affectionate, smart, eager to learn, and just so excited about life. She’s great with other dogs, has done well with our dog-savvy shelter cats, and absolutely adores kids.
Daisy has a beautifully balanced temperament: spirited and spunky, but loving and gentle too. She’s ready to grow up in a home where she can continue to learn, play, and be part of a family that sees just how special she is.
She’s microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and monthly preventatives. All she’s missing now is you! Ready to help this sweet little flower bloom?

TINA - F
Age: ~ 4.5 Months Old
Weight: 17 lbs
Breed: Rescued
Meet Tina! Tina is one of seven adorable puppies who narrowly escaped a heartbreaking fate. Their owner, who was sick and extremely poor, was planning to give them away in a Walmart parking lot before rescue stepped in and gave them a chance at a brighter future. Now, after six weeks in foster care, these pups are ready to find loving homes where they can truly shine.
Tina is an absolute darling little lady who is full of potential. She’s had a blast playing with her littermates and loves a good romp around the yard.
Tina is a bit shy around new people, but with a patient and loving family, she will come out of her shell and learn to trust. She’s already made so much progress, and in the right hands, she will continue to blossom beautifully.
Tina has not been around children but we feel a family without kids or one with older, dog-savvy children is a must. A quieter home would benefit her and she'd love a confident dog to show her the ropes.
Tina has been interested in our shelter cats, but respectful and could co-exist with a feline in her future home.
Tina learned how to use a doggy door while in her foster home, but since she’s still young, she’ll need some guidance to get back on track with potty training once she settles into a new environment. She is full of energy and could play with her siblings for hours if she had the chance!

GUINNESS - M
Age: ~ 8 Weeks Old
Weight: 6 lbs
Breed: Island Beauty
Guinness made his way to us through the incredible Pets With Wings program, thanks to one of our amazing volunteers who wanted to give a deserving island pup a better shot at finding a forever home. With limited options for adoption back on the island, Guinness is now on the mainland and ready to find the family he was always meant for.
Guiness was born into a litter of nine, but sadly only six of the puppies survived.
At just 5 days old, Guinness and his surviving siblings were brought into loving hands, and that early care shaped the pup he is today. Gentle, mellow, and quietly observant, Guinness has an old soul kind of sweetness and a quiet strength about him.
Guinness is the definition of adorable: happy, petite, and full of puppy joy. His heart is open, his tails never stop wagging, and he’s ready to bring their island sunshine to a forever home. He’s a petite pup with a laid-back attitude, happy to explore on his own or curl up for a cozy nap nearby. He will thrive in a home where he can continue to blossom with patience, love, and a sprinkle of island magic.
Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, playful zoomies, or learning the ropes of being a perfect pup, Guinness is eager to grow up in a home where love and adventure await. Are you ready to continue his incredible journey and be his forever lucky charm?

PETEY - M
Age: 12 - 14 Weeks
Weight: 23 lbs
Breed: Rescued
Meet Pickles from the P-pack! He’s one of five sweethearts who were found wandering along a highway in Eastern Tennessee. They were hungry, covered in mange, and infested with fleas, ticks, and worms. But thanks to a true hero and the good folks at BarkPlace4Dogs, they were given a second chance. And wow, have they blossomed ever since!
With some suspected Pyrenees in the mix (hello, double dew claws!), they’re going to be big bundles of love when fully grown. Petey may be on the quieter side, but his affection runs deep. He’s the kind of pup who leans in for kisses and melts into your lap. Gentle, sweet, and sensitive, he’s low-key but full of love.
All five of the ‘P’ pups are playful, adventurous, and learning fast. They mastered the dog door while in foster, but now being in a shelter they will need some help getting back up to snuff with their potty training. Occasionally mellow but mostly just goofy, lovable puppies, each one is bursting with personality.
Like all puppies, they are busy exploring the world one chomp at a time. Whether it’s a toy, a shoelace, acorns or your fingers (oops!), they're in that classic teething stage, so puppy-proofing and plenty of chew toys are a must. But with patience, guidance, and love, they’ll grow into well-mannered companions ready to take on the world.
Petey is microchipped and up-to-date on his monthly preventatives and age-appropriate vaccines. Petey has already conquered so much and now he’s ready to conquer your heart!

With some suspected Pyrenees in the mix (hello, double dew claws!), they’re going to be big bundles of love when fully grown. Penny is the one-girl welcome committee in the group. She’s the first to greet you with her quirky smile and wagging tail. Penny is confident, cuddly, and full of sparkle. Penny is the kind of pup who’s always ready to make a new friend and brighten your day. With her affectionate nature and quick learning, she’s sure to win hearts in record time.

JESSICA - SF
Age: ~ 1 - 3 Years Old
Weight: 47 lbs
Breed: Mama Dog
Jessica was spotted at a high-kill shelter, quietly curled up as an unclaimed stray...except she wasn’t alone. She was carrying a very special surprise: a belly full of puppies. Thanks to some amazing rescue teamwork, Jessica made it safely to us just in time to give birth and raise her precious little ones (Bear, Cinder, Chiba, and Cuddles—maybe you remember them from their short time at SGH a few weeks ago?). Now that her pups have all found wonderful homes, it’s finally Jessica’s turn to be someone’s baby.
Jessica is a gentle, medium-energy gal who’s done well with other dogs and seems to do well with our shelter cats. She is mostly house-trained (though like any pup adjusting to a new space, a few accidents are to be expected). She’s been with us in rescue since December, through pregnancy, motherhood, her spay, and she’s ready for her next big chapter.
Jessica rides well in the car and is always eager for an outing. She enjoys her leash walks around the property the most, and while she's working on her pulling, she settles into a groove on her trots and it's just lovely being out in the woods with her, watching her enjoy taking everything in. Mama is a bit of a chewer but we chalk it up to her being a young gal who is a bit stressed in the shelter. Give this girl a handful of fun things to chew on, like a bone or a toy, and she'll be all set. While she's still learning her basic manners, she corrects very well and is eager to please. Did we mention she loves food? Treats and pup cups will easily land you a special place in her heart.
Jessica is having a tough time adjusting to the kennel environment and we don't blame her. We’re slowly seeing her personality bloom, but already it’s clear that Jessica is sweet-natured, affectionate, and ready to share her heart with a family of her own.
Adopting a mama dog like Jessica is truly something special. Mama dogs have already given so much love and care and once it's their turn to receive it back, they seem to know. They often form deep bonds with their people, are incredibly intuitive, and have a calm wisdom that only comes from experience.
Jessica has been spayed, microchipped, and is up-to-date on her vaccines and monthly preventatives. Now all she needs is someone who sees her heart and wants to help her write her happy ending.
