When they say dogs leave paw prints on our hearts, it is so very true.  My Baby was found in a field with her siblings.  She was tiny, but had the cutest four white paw tips.  The family wouldn’t pick out a name, so Baby it was.   And she was the baby for sure!  She learned real fast about...

Slocum was a big boy with a big heart. He loved everyone and was just super sweet. He was probably the tallest dog we ever had, and was also very handsome. 2012-2018

I got Joey when he was 6 weeks old from a box in front of Walmart when I was just a teenager.  He became known as the "Walmart dog."  Joey stayed with me and my husband for almost 16 years and touched our lives.  He was not just a dog, but our kid, protector, and best friend.  He got...

Gunny (black) and Squeaker (white) were littermates who adopted us as kittens when we served as missionaries in Amman, Jordan.  When we went to the Middle East we had to leave our two beloved dogs behind because Muslims traditionally disdain dogs, but it wasn't long before we just had to have a "fur fix."  Cats are tolerated in the...

My wife and I adopted Frank from the Humane Society in 2004 when he was a pup. He lived with us for over fourteen years. He was a big-hearted dog, curious, joyful, tender. At age two he became a licensed pet therapy dog, visiting children and elders in hospitals and nursing homes. Later he trained to sniff out people’s...

Deuce had a wonderful 12 years on this earth. He had the very important roll of being big brother to his human little brother, Caiden, and to his fellow brother and sisters Ace, Bell, Riley, and Onyx.   He always knew how to make his mommy smile and loved playing with his daddy.  He is truly missed in our home. ...

We will never forget the day Jack picked us to be his family.  We had chosen his sister to be our new puppy, but as we were walking to the truck, Jack followed behind us and . . . haha we left with two puppies instead of one.

Jack lived for fifteen years.  He was a friend,...

We are thankful God created Belle for our family and gave us 13(+) years as her people.  She was one of the BEST DOGS EVER!  Such a sweet & gentle personality. . . typical for a Lab. She was a great duck dog (but hated that neoprene vest!)  She enjoyed riding the 4-wheeler while hunting or even just around...

Our sweet boy Jack crossed over the Rainbow Bridge August 5, 2018. He had been a great addition to our family for 10 years.  He was found in East Tennessee and brought to the West Tennessee Border Collie rescue where we adopted him on October 11, 2008.  He followed his Mommy around the house everyday and waited by the...

They say that we are all sent here on a mission.  Ellie was a few months shy of being 3 years old.  She came from a puppy mill at 5 weeks of age.  I nursed Ellie back to health, and she became my shadow.  Everyone knew her at Starbucks.  She would even bark at the loud speaker for her...

“ Mr. Pinkerton came into our family from the Bartlett Animal Shelter on Christmas Eve when he was two years old. For 14 years he was a faithful buddy, always looking out for others (including my granddaughter and our newly found baby kitten).

Steele was added to our family on 4/26/2006 at 9 weeks old. He was the brother to my only child/son. Steele was a "Gentle Giant" with a heart of gold. Everyone that he encountered simply praised his gentle loving nature and beauty. He was the "Pretty Boy" wherever he went. Steele understood every human word and gesture. He loved...

Bud Miller

Bud came to us when he was 8 weeks old. He was the runt of the litter and weighed only 2 pounds.  He quickly took over our household and ruled over all of us.  He loved his Dad and big brother John, but he was his Mama’s boy.  He loved to chase the squirrels in...

Baby Girl left this world on June 10th, 2018. She was my angel and best friend. Baby Girl was by my side day and night. Her favorite thing to do was helping me drive my jeep. I will miss her dearly and her unconditional love. Thank you for being one of the best parts of my life.

Cookie Geschwind left this world unexpectedly on June 7, 2018.

We were blessed to have Cookie come into our lives in December of 2013.  Living thousands of miles away from home on the island of Guam, Cookie touched our hearts from the minute we brought her home.  We quickly learned that Cookie had an adventurous spirit as...

Rocket was rescued from the streets when he was just a baby. Sadly, Rocket was never adopted, but he did get to spend a lot of time in foster homes, and he was loved by his foster families and shelter volunteers. He loved to play and was also a sweet and gentle boy with beautiful markings. 2005-2018

Bailey showed up at my mother's house in 2002, seemingly out of nowhere, and wanting nothing more than a little bit of food and attention. I planned to find him a good home, but in the end, I could not stand the thought of giving him away. He was never one to meow much, but instead talked with his...

I rescued sweet Charley in 2010 when he was 9 from a very abusive situation. I was volunteering at an animal rescue and someone brought him to one of our adoption events. He was unhealthy, very dirty, and had cuts and burns all over his little body. When anyone got close to his crate, he would snarl and bare...

Reba was a rescue pup from the animal shelter.   She didn’t seem to be too interested in us at first, but we liked her. As soon as we got her home, we let her run around the back yard.  Rather quickly, she figured out she could slip between the bars of the wrought iron fence we had by the...
