RESCUE #: 2026-10-24-01

BIO: Toby was turned over to us by another rescue after being returned for a severe ear infection. The infection has been fully treated, but they felt we could better find him a forever home due to his Dachshund mix. We are conducting a DNA test to determine his exact mix.

Toby gets along well with other dogs but can be hand-shy when someone reaches over his head. This may be due to past experiences, so his adopter should be patient and understanding. Since joining our rescue, he has grown more trusting and is becoming less fearful. He loves to play ball and enjoys the game, even if he doesn’t always bring it back.

Our must haves for Toby are:

A fenced in yard
Another senior dog to hang around with
Someone that is retired and can spend time with him as he loves his humans once he trusts
No apartments, high rises or condos and he does like to bark at things

If you think you can give this sweet boy a home, then reach out to the rescue. He deserves a good home because we are not sure he’s had that.

============== 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.

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.

Please share and help us find these two the homes they deserve!#RussellRescueTN #AdoptDontShop #FosterDogs #RescueDogs #NashvilleDogs #TennesseeDogsMeet Marley and Chloe! Their previous owner told us they’re 11 years old, but I’m going to need her to check her math—because there is NO WAY. These two have more pep and personality than dogs half their age. Marley is about 13 pounds and runs around like a puppy. He’s happy, healthy, and just an all-around fun little guy. He loves going for walks, snuggling, eating (of course), and settling in for a good nap when the excitement is over. And then there’s Chloe—or Chloe 2, as we call her—because she looks almost exactly like a Chloe I fostered for well over a year. She’s a tiny 7-pound ball of spunk. She runs along the back of the couch, prances around the house, loves her treats and munchies, and happily entertains herself with toys.Both are great with other dogs and have settled in beautifully. They even slept comfortably in separate crates. Ideally, we’d love to see Marley and Chloe adopted together, but unlike some bonded pairs I’ve fostered, they don’t seem overly dependent on each other. I do think they could be happy adopted separately into the right homes. They are seriously the funnest, sweetest little things—and apparently no one has told them they’re supposed to be seniors. Chloe/Lightning is the female/spayed. She weighs approximately 7lbs. Her only issue currently is she does need MPLs on both knees....though she still gets around well, though sometimes stairs prove a bit difficult.Available dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else.

MONTHLY HEARTWORM DATE: 9th of each month

RESCUE #: 2026-08-19-01

BIO: We can’t say enough good things about this little girl. She came from rural TN and was bred every time she came into season but lucky for her a Good Samaritan saw her plight and stepped in to take her. The Good Samaritan was driven to save her but could not keep her so she reached out to us for help. Rosie is all sunshine and roses and she SMILES! If you talk sweetly to her, she’ll give you her sweet smile. You can see it in one of her pictures.

Rosie didn’t know how to play but she is learning and would be fine with another male or female pup around her age that is socialized. She craves attention because she never had any and she loves it.

Sadly, she came to us with heartworms so she will go through treatment for those and will not be available until the 28th of November, just in time for the holidays. Don’t let the heartworms scare you. She is light heartworm positive and she’ll be clear of them when she goes to her forever home. This delay will give you plenty of time to plan for Rosie and shop for her for the holiday.

Our must haves for this little one are:

A fenced in yard
Another brother or sister to learn to play with, young and small - no big dogs
Someone that can be home more than not
Please no apartments, high rises or condo

If you want years of devotion, then you can’t go wrong with this Rosie. Apply, get approved, and we’ll keep you posted on how she is doing with treatment. If you live close enough, you can come and visit her when approved.

RESCUE #: Dolly’s 2026-08-08-03 and Patsy’s 2026-08-08-06

BIO: Dolly and Patsy came from West Tennessee when the owner went through a major life change and could no longer keep them. Several dogs were surrendered to us that day, but Dolly and Patsy just have to stay together.

They love each other, play together, and sleep together, though they cannot eat together (Patsy eats with a slow bowl; Dolly eats slowly). They do everything together, and we just could not separate them, so if you are looking for a pair/instant family, you have found them. They are both happy and friendly; it might take a minute for them to warm up, but not much longer than that.

They love playing with toys and seeing what trouble they can get into, so pick up anything that falls on the floor because it will be theirs. They love doing zoomies in the fenced yard in the morning and running in and out of the house; it would be great if you had a doggie door.

If you want these two to be yours, fill out the online application and select their names from the drop-down box.

Our must-haves for this dynamic duo include:

A fenced yard
Someone who is home more often than not
If you have another dog, then he/she must be 3 years and under since both these ladies love to play
No apartment, high-rises, or condos (anything with shared walls)
Active family ONLY, as they are not couch potatoes

If you decide to adopt these two and you are approved, this will be the best thing that has happened and will happen in your life. They will give you years of enjoyment, fun, and laughter!

When nothing really worked, the recommendation was that we euthanize him. Our hearts were broken and we decided to give him a second chance at life. We knew he was a good dog and just needed something more. He needed leadership, direction and protection. Of course we didn't know this as we never had a Jack Russell before. We then found a behavioral trainer in TN who has had CJ for 5 weeks. The transformation has been nothing more than amazing. He is so well trained now. He has become quite the celebrity on Instagram. People are following his progress and routing for him. It's been wonderful to see. An entirely different dog. We will continue the training virtually until the end of September. This was the best decision we ever made for him. We also purchased all the tools that he is currently getting in training. New kennel, new bed, his new food.(Raw Variance). Slip lead we will get from his trainer. CJ needs a loving environment where he can live out the rest of his life happy and healthy. He will still need to adhere to all of the training he received otherwise our concern would be that he will more than likely revert back to his old habits. CJ is just not compatible for us and now more than ever my husband has some major health issues that we have to deal with and we cannot give him the attention he deserves.

BIO UPDATE (9/28/2026): It has been such a joy to watch sweet Roxie settle into her foster home and blossom. She is happiest outdoors, running through the yard, playfully chasing squirrels and birds, and barking when she sees deer in the woods. She shares a special bond with her foster sisters and truly enjoys being with them. Since coming into foster care, Roxie has lost 2 more pounds and is looking slimmer and healthier but losing maybe another 1 ½ lbs would be perfect. She may always have her sweet, sturdy little build, and that is one of the many things that makes her special.

BIO: Roxie came from Alabama. She is a shy girl at first, but once she warms up to you, she’s your friend for life and will follow you all over the house and yard. Roxie is a bit of a picky eater but may have been fed table food, which is why she’s not crazy about dog food.

Roxie is great with other dogs, male and female, but we do not know about cats. So it is best not to try to adopt her if you have a cat. She has been accustomed to her previous owner being home all the time, so she may have to adjust if you work out of the home. It would help having another small, young dog for her to hang with.

Our must-haves for pretty Miss Roxie are:

A fenced yard
Another young small dog
Someone who can be home more often than not
No apartments, high-rises, or condos

If you think Roxie would be a good fit for your home and you meet our requirements, please apply to adopt her. She truly is a sweet girl, but you must be willing to help her lose the weight she needs to be at her best weight.

============== 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.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.

She loves children and other dogs, but I don’t think she cares for cats. She’s young with perfect teeth and good breath and high energy. She loves chasing a tennis ball but if you leave it with her, she will chew it up in about an hour. So I got a textured rubber ball that will withstand the chewing and she’s having a great time with it. She comes when she’s called most of the time and we are working on that. She shows no interest in jumping my fence and loves the backyard. Her fur might be the softest I’ve ever touched. Although I have a cover and allow her on the sofa, she has decided she likes the large dog “muddy mat” bed even better. These beds have a removable cover for washing. I can only foster till Sept 17th so help us find her forever home before then so she won't have to go back to boarding!!Introducing you to Sunny! Attention all Jack Russell lovers! Sunny Remington is a Jack Russell mix weighing in at 35-40 lbs. She is up to date on all vaccinations. She has typical Jack Russell characteristics: full of energy, prey-driven, loves jobs, loves companionship with her person. She will protect you, play fetch with you (hours upon hours) and love you (snuggles under blanket beside you). She would do best in a home with no small children and no other animals (she is the queen). Sunny is house trained and crate trained. Her best trick is bouncing the ball herself and catching in her mouth. Serious inquiries please. 2023 - Sunny is a 5 month old JRT mix! She is currently in a foster home through our MS team, has received two rounds of vaccinations/dewormer/prevention, and is thriving! Sunny was rescued off of the side of the road by the garbage truck crew. An owner reached out to claim her, but never came to get her. She was terrified at the shelter, but thankfully a foster stepped up to temporarily house her! She’s dog friendly, and loves to play!! We would love for Sunny to be able to hitch a ride on our transport to RR this coming up Saturday, but would need a foster and/or potential adopter to do so! Please reach out to the Russell Reacue Team if you’re able to help Sunny!This is Sunny! Sunny is a 5 month old JRT mix and weighs 15lbs. She’s dog/cat/kid friendly, kennel trained and has been doing well on potty training. She’d do well with an active family — she loves to go on walks! She’s received two rounds of vaccines/dewormer/heartgard/nexgard, and is hw negative.Available dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else.
