Misty came to Guardian Angel pregnant. She still has two of her kittens with her – Bea and Opie. Misty is a Lynx point Siamese mix, weighs 7 lbs. and is approximately 1 year old. She is up to date on vaccines, is spayed and housetrained. She is aloof until she gets to know you, then she’s very affectionate. She watches the other cats play but rarely joins in their antics.

Hannah was found in the Berclair area - she was skin and bones. Thanks to an angel who took her in, Hannah has gained weight, has started her puppy vaccines and is on heartworm preventative. She will be spayed in December and is in the process of being housetrained. Hannah has a reddish golden coat mixed with black highlights and looks like a miniature Golden Retriever. Hannah is a warm, loving dog and plays well with other dogs. She is passive to dominant dogs. She warms up quickly to people but pays little attention to cats. She will be good with children but may be a bit too lively for young children. Hannah is a fast learner and exhibits the quick intelligence of a retriever. Hannah will be a wonderful companion dog for many years to come.

BUDDAH

ADOPTED!

My name is Buddah and I am a 5 month old male pitbull puppy. My birth mom was a beautiful brindle pitbull, who was owned by some very not nice people. Just 3 days after my brother, sisters and I were born, the police came to our house. They broke down the door, which made Mom real upset since it was her job to protect us. She ran towards the door barking and they shot her 3 times. She was taken to the Animal Emergency Center , along with us in tow, and they staff at AEC fell in love with all of us. They did everything they could to save Mom, but she was in such bad shape they had to help send her to heaven, so she would not be in any more pain. They wanted to make sure nothing bad would happen to us babies, so some of the girls each took 1 or 2 of us and they became our new foster moms. (We were a pretty big litter - 2 boys and 5 girls). I have grown up in a foster home with 10 dogs, 5 cats and 1baby squirrel, so I have not met an animal yet that I don't get along with. My favorite activity is sleeping on the couch though - I love to lay with mom and watch a good movie. I'm really like going to the park and letting all the kids run so I can chase them. Then we like to roll in the grass and play with toys. I love the house I'm living in now (and they love me too!!), but mom says it's time I get a new loving family of my own who can make me the center of attention. He is  turning into such a well behaved boy. He is probably the CALMEST puppy I have ever had. In the house he lays in front of the couch and just rolls on his back. He LOVES food and will do just about anything for a cookie. He's such an easy dog, I know he'd be a great addition to a family who already has pets, or he'd be a wonderful first dog fr any home. He's fully potty trained and knows sit. We are working on lay down and stay. He picks up things like that very quickly. Please contact me to set up a meeting with Buddah

Angela Bassett  

ADOPTED!

Breed:  Basador (Bassett/Lab mix)

                 Size:  Medium, 35 lbs. Age:  not over 5 years

                                                                                         Sex:  Spayed female

                                                               Health:  Up to date on shots; heartworm negative & on preventive; Frontline

                                                                            Training:  Perfectly house trained; crate and leash trained; basic obedience commands

                                                                                        Temperament:  Excellent.  Angela is quite, frankly, the happiest dog I have had the joy of fostering.  She loves her foster sisters & brothers, even the cats.  She has no bad habits.  She will run if not kept on lead or in her fence, but she is a scent hound and cannot help but follow her nose.  Loved getting a bath (pampering is right up her alley).  Prefers the company of her person to all others.  Quietly sits by your side on the couch or at your feet on the floor.  Sleeps next to the bed on the floor.  UNKNOWN with children but bassets and labs are known for their good behavior with kids. Angela Bassett was found in Roan County as a stray.  Unbelievable to think no owner came forth to claim this sweet girl, she soon made her way to West Tennessee to be fostered by this Guardian Angel. Perfectly housetrained, Angela will signal she needs to go outside by baying as any good hound dog can.   She’s adamant about being with her people as much as possible, so don’t think you will be able to escape her loving presence. Angela needs a fenced yard to romp in so she will be safe and never lost from her loved ones again.  Angela will do best with a family that is calm and that will spend lots of time with her, lavishing her with the attention she so deserves.  Won’t you open your heart and home to Angela?

Li’l Girl   

ADOPTED!

Breed: Black lab mix

Age: Approx. 1 year on 11/3/06

Height: 12 in. at shoulder

Weight: 25 lbs.  

Li’l Girl was spotted running the streets this summer and wouldn’t get near anybody trying to catch her. A male puppy, we named Eddie, and a female puppy, we named Jeanne, were found under cars in different driveways. Obviously these puppies were hers; an Angel is fostering the puppies now. But Li’l Girl had a surprise for us - she had another puppy, Faun. Because of Li’l Girl’s protectiveness of Faun, it took the neighbors six more weeks to catch them. A wonderful family has adopted Faun.  

Li’l Girl is up to date on vaccines, is on heartworm preventative and has been spayed. She is a different dog now. She wants to jump in your lap the minute you sit down and give your face a good licking. She sits on command and comes when called. Li’l Girl is great with cats and the two big dogs and is very protective of her foster home. She is housetrained and crate trained.

I am not sure what breed I am but I can tell you my mom weighs about 40 lbs and her name is Samantha (Above).  She looks like an Australian Shepherd mix.

I am completely and totally housetrained!!!

Toby is one of the most laid back and easiest dogs. He is typical hound, as he moves very slow, with his nose to the ground and has the hound bark. He loves to be with people and will sleep the day away in your bed or his. He is crate trained, house trained, up to date on his shots and on HW preventative. Toby was found running the streets of North Shelby County. He had a huge wound on his left side and we do not know if it was from being hit by a car or attacked by another animal. It has healed very well.  Toby should be great in any home. He has such a funny personality, sweet and loving. He does not require much exercise. Toby is about 5 years old, 19 inches tall and about 60 pounds. He is what is commonly called a "couch potato".

She needs a family who will love her and keep her safe.  It is my belief that she will reward that family with a lifetime of love.

Hi, my name is Copper. I was named after the cute little hound puppy in the Disney movie, The Fox and the Hound. I am neutered, up-to-date on all of my shots and current on heartworm preventative and frontline. I currently weigh 21lbs. and my approximate birthday is April 1, 2006. It is believed I am a Beagle (possible mix). I was saved, with my sister (Tessa) by a Guardian Angel from a horrible situation of owner neglect. I had a really rough start in my life and all I ever really wanted was a family to love me and treat me kindly. I have a lot of love to share and am eager to show it with kisses and attention. I love food and will eat my sisters food and mine if given the chance. My current foster home is my first opportunity to live indoors, so I am working really hard on my house-training. I am crate-trained and will stay in my crate while you're away without accidents. I will also sleep in my crate at night.

This is Jera and she is twelve weeks old (as of 5/21/06) and is a Shepard mix. Jera was rescued by a Good Samaritan when he saw her collapse in his front yard. He brought her inside and kept her safe until Guardian Angel could get to her. When we did we were afraid we were too late. Jera could no longer stand and was so dehydrated and full of worms that her gums were pure white. Thankfully her angel did not give up and now Jera is on the road to recovery. She is so affectionate and loves to chew her bones (as you can see from her picture). She is still very under weight and her food intake will have to be monitored for some time yet but she has shown us that she is not ready to give up and is looking for her forever family.

Hi! My name is Maci. I’m a loveable little terrier mix. My foster mom thinks I’m between 1 and 2 years old; I can’t tell her, cuz I don’t remember my birthday. I’m 15 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh a very ladylike 20 pounds. I’m a low maintenance girl as I’m crate-trained, housebroken and heartworm negative; as well as spayed and up-to-date on all my shots and heartworm preventative. I get along with all sizes of people, but I simply must bark at them first to introduce myself. I’m a fun-loving girl. I REALLY like to play with my foster family’s dogs. I can play longer than any of them. I also like to play fetch with anybody who will throw toys for me. I would love to find a home with a doggie friend; but I would be okay with humans only. I’m ready for a forever home. Are you the family for me?

WINSTON

ADOPTED! 

Winston is a 6 year neutered male with medium long hair and a pink nose. His two front paws have been de-clawed. Winston thinks he is a dog and has no fear of dogs since they have traditionally been his playmates. He's very loving, entertaining and enjoys people. The ideal situation for Winston would be as an only pet for someone who wants to be the receiver of all his love. However, he gets along well with other animals and would do well in a multi-pet family. He loves dogs and would have to be introduced only to dogs that love cats. Winston is very affectionate and sits in the chair beside of his favorite human on his back haunches as to imitate human sitting behavior; however, his favorite position is sitting in your lap, or on your chest purring. Winston loves to chat and will greet you daily at the door when you return home.

Oh, and did I mention…  I am housetrained!!!

Lexi is a 1 year old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix. She is housebroken, crate trained and up-to-date on all of her shots. She weighs about 12 pounds and is around 12 inches tall at the shoulder. Lexi has been spayed and is heartworm negative. She is currently on Heartguard and Frontline. Lexi came to Guardian Angels as an owner surrender. She was originally adopted from an Arkansas shelter when she was about 2 months old to a family with 3 small children with the hope that her personality would lean more to the Rat Terrier part of her lineage. Alas, the Chihuahua side appears to be dominant in our sweet Lexi and she is not very good with children under the age of 10. She does get along with the other dogs in her foster home and loves to snuggle with her foster mom and dad. She is ready for a new home with no small children…are you the family she is looking for?

(will likely be less than 30lb when full grown) and my approximate birthday is October 2005.  It is believed I am a Chow (I have a lovely blue tongue.) / Manchester Terrier mix.  I love to cuddle and have become very spoiled about sleeping in the bed with my humans.  I do well with children and I have no problem living with other dogs.  I walk well on a leash, but will take you for a chase through the neighborhood if you let me off the leash.  I love wrestling with the other puppies in my foster home, playing tug-o-war with rope toys, and taking drives in the car while sitting in your lap.  Oh, and did I mention…  I am housetrained!!!   click here for more photos

New forever family

   AUSTIN 

Adopted!

Hello, my name is Austin .  I am a handsome adult male, approximately 3 years old, in search of a forever family to call my own.  I was rescued from the Tipton Animal Shelter by a Guardian Angel in June.  I am neutered (very important), up-to-date on shots, and heartworm negative.  I get along with other dogs really well and love to ride in the car.  I am just a pleasure to have around.  I weigh approximately 40 lbs.  We are not absolutely sure, but I appear to be a Border Collie/Bassett mix.  If you are looking for a wonderful family dog, you can’t miss with me.

PIPPY

Adopted!

Pippy was turned into a local vet clinic  to be euthanized

because the family did not want her anymore.  We think she is a Doxy/spaniel

mix. She is about 12 weeks old and weighs about 5 pounds.

BEN

Adopted!

New Rescue....more info coming soon!

posted 06/29/06

This puppy wandered its way into my backyard and is looking for a home.  It looks to me like a mix of a rat terrier and a Chihuahua.  However, when it stands at attention it looks like a miniature pinscher!  She appears to be a puppy, but I am not certain of her age.  She has a scar that indicates to me she has been fixed.  She is a playful dog with tons of energy, but she is looking for a lap to lay in when it comes time to sleep.  She gnaws occasionally but is not a biter!  There have been occasional bathroom issues in the house, but she appears to be trainable in that respect.  She plays well with other dogs and does not appear to be territorial around other animals.  She has no problems staying outside during the day and sleeping in a spacious cage at night.  I would love to keep her myself, but my schedule does not permit me the time to care for her.

Rusty  

Adopted!

This handsome lug is Rusty Anchor and he is as sweet tempered in real life as he is in this picture. Rusty came to Guardian Angel by way of owner seizure. His family forced Rusty to live underneath their home and he was constantly covered in fleas and other parasites. They did nothing to contain him in their yard so he was hit by vehicles on two separate occasions. But the past is just that and Rusty is now clean, happy, and so full of love. Rusty Anchor is kennel trained, house broken and knows his basic commands. He walks well on a leash but more important he is so sweet tempered and just wants to please people. He loves to cuddle and be close to his foster parents. It is like he knows just how bad he had it in the early years of his life.

BRIANNA

Adopted!

My name is Brianna. I am a birddog/lab mix. I weigh 41 lbs., am spayed, up-to-date on shots and am heartworm negative and on preventative. I am presently interviewing for a forever home. If you feel that you have the qualifications for this position, please fill out the online application and I will get back with you. I can assure you that I would make a very loving companion for your family.  

P.S. I LOVE KIDS!

                                                                                     ADOPTED!             Photo by Renee Scott Photography

She was hit by a car 4 months ago but now is looking and feeling great. 

Thanks to all that sent in donations!!

Millie is now completely healed. She is about 1 1/2 years old. She is
very strong and can run and play very fast. She plays well with some
dogs, but is particular. I have one dog out of 3 that does not like
Millie and Millie does not like her. We keep them separated. The 2
others are smaller than her and they have a ball. She also plays with
our cats. She chases them, but only to play. One of our cats actually
teases her and plays back with her. It would have to be a trial to make
sure if you have other dogs or cats that they are compatible. She is fun
to play with and very affectionate. She tosses her toys in the air and
catches them. She is crate trained and house broken. She is very smart
and will walk on a leash, but hasn't gone on walks very much. Like I
said, she is very strong and may be too boisterous for a small child,
but loves children.

ANDY

ADOPTED!

MATTIE

ADOPTED!

Mattie is believed to be a Retriever/Shepherd mix.  She is 5 years old, UTD on shots, spayed, and heartworm negative.  Mattie used to have a home, but her owner passed away, and the owners family turned her, her Boxer sister, and two cat siblings over to the Tipton County Animal shelter.  Everyone got adopted but Mattie.  The shelter staff tried to keep her for as long as possible looking for that special home, so Mattie stayed at the shelter for 4 months and still hasn't found that special person to claim as her human.  She is a very good girl, never barks, and loves to go for walks. She gets a little scared in new situations, so it would be best if she could find a quiet home without a lot of frenzied activity, and probably not have small children around.

Diego

ADOPTED!  

This handsome guy is Diego and he just wandered up to one of our foster families homes one day and decided to stick around. Diego is such a sweet boy and can actually smile! He smiles the entire time he is being petted. Sadly his life before rescue must have been pretty rough because Diego flinches if you move to fast, like he expects to be hit. Hopefully in time he will out grow that. Diego is kennel trained and housebroken and has fit into his foster home like he was meant to be there. He has shown no signs of aggression with the other dogs and loves to run and play with his foster brother and sister all day long.

SPOT

Adopted!

Most people think Spot is a funny name for an all black dog, but when you pick me up you can see a small white spot on my chest, so I guess that's where my name came from. My foster mom said  I look like a lab  with small feet.  I love all other animals, and people too, won't you take me to my forever home??

DUKE

ADOPTED!

Fury is fantastic and full of energy and has been an ultimate joy to foster!

She's about 12 weeks old, and about 15 lbs. She is a gorgeous retriever mix who loves to play , and she is very intelligent.

MOCHA & LATTE

Mocha (on right ) Adopted!

Mocha was surrendered to Tipton County Animal shelter at just a few days old.  She had no mother and the litter was bottle fed by a compassionate human.  Mocha and her sister, Latte’, are the survivors from the litter.  Their birthday is May 1, 2006.  Mocha and her sister are nearly identical.  In fact, their foster mom calls them “the twins”, but there are some slight differences once you get to know them.  Mocha, has a red nose, only three paws with white tips, and a solid brown tail.  Her sister, Latte’, has a brown nose, four paws with white tips, and a white tip on her tail.  They are absolutely adorable puppies and appear to be Chesapeake Bay Retrievers (there is always the possibility of them being mixes).  They have gotten started on their puppy shots and will be spayed as soon as they are old enough.  Mocha has made a wonderful transition from her nursing human to her new foster home.  Mocha is the calmer of the two sisters.  Mocha is very curious about her surroundings and does a lot of exploration with her nose.  She is always sniffing the air, the ground, everything.  She also loves sneaking up on her sister for a good surprise attack.  She is very fond of the sprinkler or any water and shows great interest in birds.

CHECKERS 

Adopted!

Hi! My name is Checkers. I’m a loveable little terrier mix that my angel rescued from the Tipton County Shelter. My foster mom thinks I’m about 1 year old; I can’t tell her, cuz I don’t remember my birthday. I’m a petite 14 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh a very ladylike 17 pounds. I’m a low maintenance girl as I’m crate-trained, housebroken and heartworm negative; as well as spayed and up-to-date on all my shots and heartworm preventative. I’m a fun-loving girl. I enjoy playing with my foster family’s dogs. I also like to play fetch with anybody who will throw toys for me. After dinner, when everything settles down, I love to snuggle up with my foster mom.

I’m ready for a forever home. Are you the family for me?

TEDDY BEAR

ADOPTED!

Hello, my name is Teddy Bear.  I am an adorable Heeler/Scottish Terrier mix.  I know, I know, I look like a big poodle, but that is not the case.  I about a year old, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and neutered.  I am crate-trained and housebroken.  I have a lot of energy when I am playing with my friends, but I can be somewhat calm when it is just the two of us.  I am very submissive and can get along with anyone, hairy or human.  I love children!  I am looking for a forever home that I can love and be loved in for the rest of my life. 

SHREK

ADOPTED!

Shrek along with his mother (Samantha) and 6 siblings (Fiona and Brutus are also still up for adoption) were living behind an air conditioning unit in a Frayser apartment complex. When we found them they were only a few weeks old and the hard freeze that we had near Christmas was only days away. After some TLC and vet care they are all healthy and ready find their new home! Shrek is a 6 month old blue merle possibly Australian Shepherd mix. He weighs only 30 pounds, is 17 inches tall at the shoulders and should not get much larger (his mother only weighs 38 pounds). He is neutered, up to date on shots and heartworm prevention. Shrek is such a sweet-heart; he gets along well with all of the dogs that he has met and is even gentle with small children! He is crate and house trained and rides well in the car. If you are looking for a sweet, loving, calm older puppy then you have found him!

ABBEY

TOFFEE

ADOPTED!

My name if Toffee, and being cute is my game.  It is said my heritage is Chihuahua, although at a whopping 13lbs I'm a tad large for my breed. I am definitely a house dog, I love to be inside with my people to play with my toys and snuggle up when I'm tired. I have a solid toffee colored coat with a small white patch on my chest, one of my best features are my eyes they are a stunning amber. I got that house training thing down now, I know it goes outside, my housemates taught me that, I just followed along.  I like kids, other dogs, and cats, however the cat in this house does not like me, you think it's because I chase her and bark at her?  I just want to play!  Life is pretty darn good now at my foster home; I hardly remember when I was a stray in the Raleigh area, hungry, sick and full of itchy biting bugs.  All I need now is a forever home, where I can be loved, and return that love tenfold.  Come and meet me; you will not be able to resist my charms.

GUENTHER

ADOPTED!

Hi, my name is Guenther.   I am a 2 year old shepherd/lab mix with a secret passion for fuzzy squeaky toys.   Everywhere I go, I have to carry one with me.   It's a good thing I'm such a big boy, so my other dog friends don't dare make fun of me.   I was seen running down Stage Rd. with a good friend of mine on a regular basis. A vet clinic tried for a few weeks to catch me, but what they didn't know was that I lived just around the corner and took myself for a walk every day, since no one else cared enough about me to do it.   Once I decided to stop by the clinic with my friend and they saw we had ID tags, they called my "owners" who said to keep us b/c we were too much trouble to keep in the yard.   That's b/c we HAD NO FENCE!!!   I am a very polite boy who is calm and quiet.   I love to play with other dogs and am kennel trained.   I am neutered, current on all shots, housebroken, nondestructive, and heartworm negative.

Charlie

ADOPTED!

                    Charlie is my name and cuddling is my game!

Charlie is an approx. 5 year old male Lhasa Poo – looks like a lhasa head on a miniature poodle body. He weighs ~18 lbs– needs to gain about 3 lbs. Charlie is charming, very loving, very eager to please, playful but NOT hyper. He loves the 2 other dogs in his foster home as well as the 2 cats. He is good with children over 8. He is impeccably house trained & Current on shots & is neutered. He is slightly heartworm positive, but will be resolved with 12 months of heartworm preventive.  NOT sick enough to endure risk of full-blown hw treatment. Charlie entered rescue after the Memphis Animal Shelter contacted a GAPR angel to see if she would rescue this slightly hw positive angel dog.  Today, Charlie is being fostered by a GAPR foster family whose breed expertise is Lhasa Apso.  In their estimation, Charlie’s best forever home will be one where he can be a cherished member of the family and can love and be loved for the rest of his life.  He’s got the perfect mix of poodle charm and intelligence and the Lhasa Apso people orientation.  His personality is MORE poodle than Lhasa.  Charlie requires a fenced yard.   His forever family will have to guarantee his heartworm preventative will be given timely and accurately and that GAPR will be provided with a heartworm test after 12 months of heartworm preventative to assess his health status so if further treatment is required that GAPR can ensure that Charlie’s long term health is protected

HEATHER

ADOPTED!

Heather is a small Sheltie mix (approx. 14 pounds) who is about 5 years old. She was surrendered to the Tipton County shelter by her original owners, and it was obviously not a good home! She is very timid and shy around new people and hid in the corner of our house for the first week she was staying with us. She was terrified of EVERYTHING! Now that she has learned to trust us, the sweetest, most loyal little dog has emerged. She is especially shy around men at first, but now she loves my husband to distraction! She loves to cuddle in your lap and just be near you.  She just needs a family who will take the time to let her trust you. She likes other dogs, and cats, and kids just fine, but would much prefer a quieter home. It won't take long for her to love you, she just needs you to give her a chance!!
