Cat-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in Chattanooga, TN: 30 Dogs Good with Cats

Harper, Henry and Harley are 15-week-old puppies that are terrier mixes. Their current weights are about 10 lbs. and are expected to reach 15-20 lbs. in adulthood. These pups are still just babies that love to have fun running and playing with the other dogs in their foster home. They are high energy youngsters and would love to have a fenced yard and a playmate to use up some of that puppy energy. The puppies enjoy playing with the larger adult dogs in their foster home. They try to be playful with the foster family cat when they have an opportunity. These pups love to be lap dogs after they burn off their energy playing together. They are very smart and are doing great with their house-training, but they will still need more attention in a home of their own to complete their training. Overall, these puppies are adorable and very lovable dogs who love to play with someone and snuggle up in your arms. If you would like to adopt Henry, Harley, or Harper, please submit an application specifying which dog you are interested in. Additional photos available at

BIO: Meet Roxy. What a sweet girl!!
Roxy is such a sweet girl! She is a retired breeder, but that hasn’t stopped her from exploring her new surroundings and learning new things.
Roxy will need another small dog in the home to help her continue learning how to be a dog. Her adoptive family must understand that she will need time to get comfortable with her people, but watching her progress will be incredibly rewarding.
Being all dachshund, she will bark at strangers until she knows they are friendly and willing to give her some attention. Roxy is crate trained and uses a doggie door to go potty outside. She loves being outdoors, exploring all the smells, and is doing great walking alongside two big neighborhood dogs
Our must-haves for Miss Roxy include:

This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions.

We're saying only older, sturdy kids because he is so large and strong.

John Boy is a handsome 3-year-old brindle boy with the cutest ears and an adorable white-speckled chest and paws.

THIS BOY IS GORGEOUS!! He's also a goof ball!
BIO: Winston came from a severe hoarding situation where he was locked in a kennel with three inches of waste. Considering everything he has been through, he’s a friendly boy that loves people (once he warms up within minutes) and toys. He will also play with other small dogs but is also fine with bigger dogs as well.
His only issue is he does have some separation anxiety so he would need to be crated should you leave the house. We think that’s why it’s important to have another dog in the household and you to know how to help him over his anxiety. This boy is so worth the effort. He’s a happy and loving boy and would be great with several children over the age of 8 yrs. Younger than that he might knock them over in his joy of playing or just happy to be a part of a family. Give him a chance, won’t you?
Our must haves for him are:

This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions.
