Adult Dogs for Adoption in Cleveland, TN: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I enjoy cuddling and was having some quiet snuggle time with a volunteer when all that traffic noise around the shelter interrupted. Hey, what's all the racket? Can't a guy enjoy his cuddles in peace? LOL! I'm a handsome, slightly shy, but very sweet guy who may need just a little time to warm up. / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'down', 'stay', 'come', and 'drop it' commands. I also know how to greet friendly strangers without jumping on them. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I'm receiving medicated baths twice a week for a little while, and these can easily be done in my new home.

My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Stoney doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. He adores human attention and wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved. Unlike many typical vocal terriers, Stoney is remarkably quiet! He rarely barks, only occasionally letting out a few woofs at something outside the fence. He gets along with dogs his own size (he weighs nearly 11 lbs.) but does not play with them other than an occasional short game of chase in the yard. Larger dogs make him feel a bit intimidated, so he does best with canine pals near his size. He has not been cat-tested yet.

Stoney's house-training is coming along well. He is still learning his routine and has the occasional accident—mainly first thing in the morning—so a patient adopter who can keep him on a steady schedule will help him cross the finish line. Coming from a stray life, household and outdoor sounds can be overwhelming for him. Loud appliances like vacuum cleaners or hair dryers or even quieter sounds like dinner cooking on the stove can send him cowering into a corner. However, the longer he resides in a home environment and realizes he's safe, the more his confidence is improving. At night, he sleeps quietly in his crate in his foster parent's bedroom, not making a peep until the humans are ready to rise and shine!

Stoney walks nicely on a leash, but if he encounters strange people, unfamiliar dogs, moving cars, or sudden noises, his instinct is to "freeze." Once the perceived danger passes, he resumes walking. He walks right along on quiet nature trails or open fields where he can sniff and explore without the hustle and bustle of traffic, humans, or other dogs.

Because Stoney is so sensitive to noises, he is looking for a gentle, predictable environment in a quiet suburban neighborhood or rural setting with a fenced area for him to feel secure. His ideal home is adult-only (or one with older, calm teenagers) with a parent or parents who are home much of the time to continue building his confidence. Fast-moving, noisy young children would be too overwhelming for him.

Stoney needs an adopter who understands that shy dogs take a little time to bloom. With patience, gentle encouragement, and a safe space, Stoney will prove to be the most loyal, loving companion you could ever ask for. Is Stoney the gentle buddy you've been searching for? See more photos of Stoney at www.imageevent.com/newrattitude/stoney , then apply to adopt him today!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I've done very well with the two dogs in my first foster home, both of whom were male and around 15–20 pounds. I was very respectful when meeting them, even rolling over to show my belly to the more nervous one. Once they became comfortable with me, I got the zoomies and started inviting them to play! I shared toys nicely, enjoyed a fun game of tug-o-war with one of them, and loved having playmates. If the more nervous dog felt I was getting a little too energetic, he would give me a correction, and I listened, backed off, and gave him space. Of course, I'd kindly try again a little later—lol! I've been a wonderful housemate and have shown that I can be playful while still respecting another dog's boundaries. So, if you have a nice dog at home already, let's meet! / I've had a lovely introduction to the cat in my first foster home! She usually NEVER approaches dogs she doesn't know, but she took a liking to me almost immediately. When I first noticed her, I slowly approached and sniffed her, giving her a chance to sniff me, too. I didn't try to play with her but was content to calmly follow her around. I was very gentle and respectful of my new feline friend! Of course, all cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would do with another kitty. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I was a shy guy at the shelter, but once I went into my foster home, my fun-loving, happy personality just came out to surprise my foster family! I fit right into their fun, music-loving household in no time. I loved being included in all the activity with the people and other pets and was such a good guest that they said I was the best right from the start! I guess you could say I'm a pretty easygoing houseguest with a happy heart and a love for being part of the fun. I can't wait to settle into a home of my own where I can share in all the good times with you! / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the 'sit', 'down', 'come' and 'leave it' commands and I accept friendly strangers without jumping. I look forward to learning lots more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / I did well in my crate in my first foster home with a nice bed and blanket. / My potty manners were great in my first foster home, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home as well.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing with my people, and honestly, it doesn't matter what we're doing as long as I'm doing it with you! I also enjoyed hanging out with the other pets in my foster home. Stuffed toys are fun, and a good game of tug-o-war is always a hit with me! I'm sure we'll discover lots of other things we will enjoy doing together once I'm settled in my new home. / Other than being at the shelter, I can't think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.

I'm a wonderful companion looking for a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

As a young dog, he is surprisingly mellow and calm. Hank just loves to be around people, so if you want a loyal and adoring companion, and if you love hounds, Hank is the dog for you! After all, who can resist that face?

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a friendly, happy-go-lucky boy with a fun, playful personality and a pretty smart little mind, too! I'm super sweet and love being around people and enjoy being part of the action. I can be a bit of a tripping hazard because I like to stay close to my people, so watch your step—I might be right underfoot! I also showed off my wonderful manners during my bath, staying calm and sweet while being pampered. I'm a delightful mix of playful fun and easygoing sweetness, and I can't wait to bring lots of smiles to my furever family! / Energy level: 5-7.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit' and 'down' commands and I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty manners have been pretty good on the shelter schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love toys, yummy treats, and getting lots of pets! Attention from my people is always a favorite, so I'm never one to turn down a little extra affection. I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we like doing together in our new home! / I can't think of any dislikes though like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.

I'm a wonderful pal looking for a wonderful family that will treasure me! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

MICROCHIP BRAND and #: 911PetChip 991003911570184

MONTHLY HEARTWORM DATE: 5th of each month

FOSTER HOME: Diane, allamericandachshundrescue@gmail.com

RESCUE #: 2026-10-03-02

BIO: This little guy just can’t seem to catch a break. Artie originally came from North Carolina, and since arriving, we discovered he is heartworm positive and has a mild back condition. His new adopters will need to ensure he avoids jumping and stairs, and stays at a healthy weight. His heartworm treatment will be complete by the end of December, at which point he will be ready for adoption.

When Artie first arrived, he was quite shy. After nearly a month in rescue, he has really come out of his shell and become very social with people he knows. Adopters should expect him to be a bit shy initially, but with a little time, he will become a loving and playful companion. He loves playing games, which includes playfully stealing items like dryer sheets, toys, or paper so you will chase him!

Artie currently uses a doggie door. If his new home does not have one, he will need to be taken out to potty on a regular schedule. Artie is crate trained so or if you were going to be gone crating him would be fine.

Our must haves for the little man are:

A fenced in yard is a must
Another small adult dog for him to hang with
Someone that can be home more than not
Please no apartments, high rises or condos

If you think you can give Artie a great forever home then don’t waste time. Fill out our application. He’ll be waiting for you to take him home the end of December. Thank you for thinking of rescue and wanting to help the homeless one rescue at a time.

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten.

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal.

We cannot adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

Miss Midgie is a super loving and energetic girl. She’s a total “people dog” and is great with kids. It seems like she could get by in life with just two things… a person to hug and kiss, and her herding ball. This girl’s got energy, but is fine entertaining herself with her beloved herding ball for hours. She’s good with other dogs that are not aggressive – she’s up for making new friends, but wont back down if another dog is not so nice to her.

Midgie is GREAT on a leash (no work went into this on her foster family’s part – all her nature). Midgie’s perfect forever family is one that will take her for walks and have a fenced yard (or keep an close eye on her if she’s off leash in the yard) – her youthful curiosity and ability to jump higher than the bionic woman mean that she sometimes makes her own decision to go exploring if left unattended. Again – a higher fence, zip line, or dog run (along with her beloved herding ball) have worked wonders to keep her safe while we’ve fostered her.

This smart and loving girl wants to be at the top of your consideration list - in return, she’ll be your best friend for life!

Age: 3.6 years

Weight: 40lbs

Temperament: Gets along with older sturdy kids, submissive male dogs

Training: Housetrained, has basic training
"Wait", "Sit", "Gentle", "Crate", "This way", and "Pull it"

Vetting: Spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative

Email for questions: http://todd.smith@emory.edu

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

A fenced yard
Another small dog to show her the way

No apartments, or high-rises she likes to bark

Oakley is a soft-hearted girl whose happy tail and sweet smile are worth taking the time to earn. She may be a little shy when meeting someone new, but once she begins to feel safe, her affectionate personality starts to shine. Before long, you may find her happily wagging her tail just because you're sitting nearby and giving her a little attention. This lovely 2.5-year-old Lab mix weighs 46 pounds and has a moderate energy level. She enjoys leisurely walks, tasty treats, and one of her favorite pastimes, snuggling on the couch with her person. Oakley is housetrained, does well in her crate, and walks nicely on leash, making her an easy companion for daily routines. Oakley has done well with the other dogs and cat in her foster home. She has also been around chickens and a horse, which she simply ignores. New people and unfamiliar situations can make her timid and a little jumpy, so she will appreciate a calm, patient family that gives her time to settle in and build trust. She is still getting comfortable in her foster home, and there is likely even more of her sweet personality waiting to emerge. Oakley would love a quieter home where she can form a close bond with her people, enjoy daily walks and activities, and then curl up beside them for a relaxing evening. If you believe the best friendships are built with a little patience and a lot of love, Oakley may be the girl you've been waiting for.

Her Personality:
Norma Jean is an affectionate girl who loves her people of all ages. She’s also a devoted, watchful companion who takes her role at home seriously. She's protective of her home and when strangers arrive, she can be cautious about welcoming them inside and bark. She’s been working with a trainer to learn that, as a little dog, she doesn’t have to be the big boss, and she’s making great progress. She does great when meeting people outside. Her new family will need to keep up that training.

With Other Dogs:
Norma Jean enjoys being around other dogs. She likes to meet dogs and take a short walk outside before being thrown in the backyard with them. She has a confident personality and knows her boundaries, so she’s best matched with playful, easygoing dogs whose personalities complement hers—or dogs who are happy to give her space. She responds well to cues from other dogs and has lived with dogs ranging in size from 8-80 pounds. Like many dogs, she prefers to eat separately so she can eat at her own pace. She has shown no resource guarding with humans.

Her Ideal Home:

A home with teens and adults, where everyone can be mindful of doors and entrances
A calm, consistent family committed to continuing her training
Daily exercise, playtime, and plenty of tennis-ball adventures!

Norma Jean needs a foster or adopter as soon as possible. She has so much love and personality to share. She’s looking for a foster or forever home where she can continue her training, enjoy her favorite activities, and be loved for the amazing dog she is.

Bree wiggles her entire body the moment she sees her person, long ears bouncing up and down, and it is impossible not to smile. This 10-month-old Dachshund mix weighs 22 pounds and has the playful energy of a puppy. She loves squeaky toys, investigating new surroundings, and showering her favorite people with kisses on faces, ears, hands, and toes. When playtime winds down, there is nothing she likes better than curling up in a lap to watch TV, happy just to be near you. Bree is fully housetrained with no accidents so far, as long as she gets regular potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, and at bedtime. She is crate trained too, lying quietly inside, and she enjoys traveling in her crate and riding in the car. She does not know any commands yet, so she is a blank slate ready to learn. On walks she can go a good distance, stopping often to sniff everything along the way.

The big world outside can feel a little overwhelming to Bree. New noises, cars, people, and dogs make her nervous at first, and she may bark a little or try to keep her distance. The more she meets them, the braver she gets, and with time she warms up and her sweet personality shines through. She is a homebody at heart and perfectly content spending quiet time with her person.

Bree would be happiest with a family who will help her build confidence one new experience at a time, and who will enjoy having a loyal little lap buddy in return. With the right support, she is going to blossom into a wonderful, devoted companion. If you have the patience and heart to help a sweet girl find her courage, Bree would love to meet you.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and initially liked them, but now I'm not sure as I have growled at them, so I may be best as your only dog. / No cats please. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a playful, friendly, and sweet girl with an active personality and a whole lot of fun to share! I'm a busy gal who likes to keep things interesting, so if you're looking for a couch potato, that's not me! I'd love a family who enjoys spending time together and can give me plenty of fun activities to keep my mind and body happy. I was a very good girl for my bath, even lifting each paw for rinsing like a little lady! And just look at my beautiful coat! I do enjoy expressing myself with a bit of talking, so apartment or condo living may not be the best fit for me. One important thing to know is that I'm a door dasher, so please be extra careful when entering and exiting to keep me safe. I'm a lively, loving girl ready to bring plenty of fun and companionship to my furever family! / Energy level: 5-7, sometimes a bit higher.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'down', 'come' and 'place' commands. I also have good leash walking manners. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and were good in a temporary home I visited for about a week. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule and were good in the temporary home I visited for about a week.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love toys, running around, and having fun with my people! If you have a fenced yard, I think we could have a great time running and playing together. I'm also a fan of good butt scratches (oh, that's the spot!) and, even though I'm an active girl, I enjoy being carried and held for a little cuddle time, too. I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we like doing together in our new home! / I can't think of any dislikes other than not getting enough activity and like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.

I'm a wonderful fun-loving girl looking for a family that will include me in on the family fun and love me furever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Buddy is a big, goofy sweetheart who will chase a ball all day long and then happily offer you his whole heart. This two and a half year old Lab/Pointer mix weighs about 52 pounds and has a pair of adorable brown eyes that make it hard to resist. He is happy, enthusiastic, and full of energy, and once he bonds with his person, he is a total love who wants to play, cuddle, and be best friends. He might even enjoy agility or flyball, since he could chase a ball from sunrise to sunset. He is learning fetch and give, and he already knows sit and shake. Working on "no jump" is in progress, and he is eager to learn with treats in hand.

Buddy is housetrained and can go several hours between potty breaks. He seems to have been crate trained at some point, and he stays calm in his crate at home and in the car. He walks nicely on a leash around the yard. His previous owner spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital, so Buddy spent many hours at home on his own and got used to relaxing on the furniture. He will need a little patience if the new family has different house rules.

Buddy gets nervous around other dogs and would be happiest as the only pet. He has lots of enthusiasm for new people and is a big boy, so he would do best with teens, older kids, or active adults who can handle his exuberant greetings. Sadly, Buddy was a much-loved pet whose owner recently passed away.

If you have the heart to help this goofball with a loving home, Buddy would love to meet you. Reach out to A.A.R.F. by text at 931-260-8018 or visit https://www.aarf-tn.com to start the application process.

Jewel treats every day like an adventure and every car ride like the best news she has heard all week. This happy, high-energy 5.5-year-old, 60 lb Australian Shepherd and Husky mix has a big personality and an even bigger love for life. She is happiest outdoors, running, exploring, and being part of whatever her people are doing, whether that means a ride in the car, a spot in the truck bed, or a trip to the park. She also has a sweet, snuggly side, and nothing makes her happier than climbing up for cuddles after a good play session.

Jewel is a smart girl who learns quickly. She knows sit, wait, belly (rolling over for belly rubs), turn, and a few fun tricks like orbit and around, and she is eager to work for her favorite peanut butter training treats. She is housetrained and has her own room where she settles in nicely. She is enthusiastic on the leash because it usually means an adventure is coming.

Jewel has a high play drive and a very enthusiastic style, so she does best with people who understand her energy and can offer structure and supervision. She has done well with larger dogs and with older kids around ten and up who know how to interact with an excited dog. Her ideal home is one without small children or small animals, where her playful spirit can shine and everyone feels comfortable. Her family has a new baby and she is just not fitting in with the new addition. The right home for Jewel is active and adventurous, with someone who enjoys training, exercise, and including her in everything. With consistency and plenty of love, she has so much potential to be an amazing companion.

If you are ready for a loyal, joyful girl who wants to be wherever you are, Jewel would love to meet you. Reach out to A.A.R.F. by text at 931-260-8018 or visit https://www.aarf-tn.com to start the application process.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a sweet, happy and friendly girl who loves people and enjoys making them smile! I have a playful side, but I also know how to settle down and enjoy some quiet time. I'm a people-pleaser and want to do my best to make you happy. I was a good girl for my bath, sitting calmly and letting my bather take good care of me. I have a lovely personality and a wonderful balance of playful fun and easygoing companionship, and I can't wait to share lots of love with my furever family! / Energy level: 3-5.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: In my foster home, I wait patiently to be fed and wait to be released before going out the door. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let's do some training together. / I'm doing very well with my crate manners in my foster home. At the shelter I got my teeth stuck in the metal type crate, so let's use a different type for me, just ask. / I'm doing well with my potty manners in my foster home with a few overnight accidents.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love cuddling up in your lap, snoozing the day away, and snuggling into soft blankets on a comfy dog bed. Soft toys are fun, too, but being close to my people is one of my favorite things! I'm a cozy little cuddle bug who believes there's no such thing as too much time to snuggle. I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we like doing together in our new home! / I can't think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I previously had a broken right rear leg which has healed up pretty well. My foster reports that it does not slow me down—just ask about this.

I'm a wonderful, friendly dog looking for a wonderful loving family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

He's cute as a button too, with a rat terrier head and Dachshund body. He's named after the hotdogs since he looks like a little sausage. At 17 lbs,, Nathan is capable and scrappy. He walks on a leash and enjoys running in the fenced yards. He learned the dog door quickly, and since getting neutered, has not had accidents in the house. We recommend treating Nathan like a puppy when you first get him home and take him out frequently.

Nathan needs his space, and isn't thrilled when other dogs try to take his things. Nathan is not a good fit for a home with larger dogs as he is grumpy about his space, food, and toys, and will start things he cannot finish with bigger dogs. Nathan can be a little snippy with people and his toys as well. He has learned "Give" and "Leave it" while in his foster home, and will do so when a grown up tells him. However, small children are probably not going to enjoy time with him. If they try to take Nathan's things, he will show them the error of their ways.

If you are looking for a cute, smart, funny dog and don't have lots of other animals or kids in your home, Nathan just might be your guy!

Toefoo gets along fine with the dogs in her foster home, and there are a lot of them. She is being fostered at a boarding, daycare, and training facility and every day brings a new group of friends. She is crate-trained, and has her meals in her crate. She sleeps in her crate overnight, but would be fine sleeping with you, or in a dog bed once she is adopted.

Toefoo is house-trained and has mastered the dog door quickly. She goes in and out throughout the day to do her business. When she first got to her foster home she was not leash trained. With persistence and patience she has learned that the leash is not a bad thing and that she gets to go with her people if she has it on.

We don't think Toefoo was out in the world much before coming to her foster home. If you want her to take long walks and visit places with you, you will need to give her time to learn about being out and about. She gets spooked and will try to run away, but once she knows you've got her back, she settles down.

Toefoo is very affectionate with the people she knows and is super happy to see you. She's got a full-body wag and big smile. Could she be your newest family member? More images of Toefoo are available in her album: https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/toefoo

Ellie is a good watchdog, but sometimes has to be reminded to stop barking. She is house-trained when kept on a schedule. Since life has been hard for Ellie, she craves attention and is looking for a home with someone who is retired or works from home, and perhaps a canine companion too! She can be an escape artist and will need a very secure fenced yard. Ellie is very sweet and loving and really deserves a comfy home and steady companionship.

Pancho is working on his potty-training and basic manners, he's looking for a patient and loving family to help him on his journey to being his best self. As with most doxies, he prefers to be with his people and does alert with barking, so may not be best suited to apartment living. Are you looking for a distinguished guy to join your family and love you forever? Let's chat!

Luna loves to be around people and is friendly with dogs, though she shows a little too much interest in kitties. She's working on learning her manners and potty-training, and would do best in an environment where she can be let out fairly frequently. She loves to get outside and take short walks and play with toys! Could you be the family she's been dreaming of? Apply and we can take a walk together to find out!
