She's learning to dog one step at a time and never ceases to crack us up with her little snorts and huffs as her beagle attitude starts to come out.

August 2025 Pet of the month Winner

Petty

Meet Petty 👋 Petty is a 5 year old border collie/lab mix - though around here he prefers the title of purebred good boy. Named after the music legend Tom Petty, he’s happiest when he’s swimming in the lake or going on long trail walks, he even counts a trip to the vet as a good time. His quirks? He’s adorably suspicious of small kitchen appliances - but that just makes him all the more lovable! 

  • Atlas & Laya - Winners for "Furry Companions"

    Laya the corgi and Atlas the snowshoe are the fluffiest odd couple around. She’s all wiggles and zoomies; he’s cool, calm, and slightly dramatic. But somehow, they’re inseparable—chasing toys, lounging in the backyard, and taking synchronized naps like pros. Their friendship may be unlikely, but it’s 100% adorable.

  • Jack - Winner for "Licky Lous"

    Jack is a 17 year old rescue. I call him my mystery man because not even the vet really knows what he is. He has slothy long legs and loves to swim. He even has his own pool floaty to float around on. He loves to go on adventures and I carry him in a backpack when we go hiking or he gets pushed in a stroller for long walks. And he's the sweetest most perfect boy.

  • Ada - Winner for "Modelesque"

    Ada is named after Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer. She lives with a new 4 month old sibling and loves to be involved. She's always making sure to bring the baby pacifiers, toys, and bottles that she finds around the house. Her favorite hobbies are playing fetch and swimming... preferably being done simultaneously.

  • Luna - Winner for "Those Ears Do All The Talking"

    Luna is OBSESSED with tennis balls. There’s always at least one close and the other one is probably in her mouth. Even when her human brother was born, she would take him her tennis ball to throw. Two years later, he’s now big enough to throw it for her.

June 2025 Pet of the month Winner

Oscar

Meet Oscar 👋 Oscar was a rescue dog who was found walking on the road with a can stuck on his head as just a 3 month old puppy desperately searching for food. Luckily he walked out of the bush in the right time to get help. He was a very shy scared boy to start but turned into the most loving, cuddly boy! Him being part husky made him have a mind of his own which kept us on our toes but he was always so grateful of life right up until the day he succumbed to cancer in June 2025. We miss his large presence in the house so much🤍

  • Zeppelin- Winner for "What Do You Mean "Treats All Done"?!"

    Zeppelin made us a family of 3 when we adopted him on our 1 week wedding anniversary. Zeppelin is a sweet puppy who wants to befriend every person and dog he meets.

    The three best friends that anyone could have! Stella, was adopted from Proverbs 12:10 rescue almost six years ago and has been the queen of the castle ever since. We met Duke five years ago at Wags and Walks Nashville and knew in an instant he was meant to be our boy. Hank came to us as a scrawny, 10 week old puppy with rickets, and after fostering him for a month, we knew he had already found his home. They each have their own special personality and have added so much love to our home!

  • Gloria - Winner for I Can Has Treat?!

    Gloria was the sweetest mastiff on the planet. Her favorite activity was snuggling on the couch or sunbathing in a sunny spot on the floor.

    Star was loyal and passionate about her people but won the hearts of strangers as well. The perfect ambassador for the breed. Her stoic beauty and silly antics were the perfect yin and yang.
