King is a handsome fellow that was picked up as a stray and surprisingly, no one has come to claim :(  His shelter said he is young and possibly a Lab/Shepherd mix. King needs to be adopted or rescued immediately, before his time runs out! More information on King can be found by clicking this link: http://tndeathrowdogs.org/urgent-dogs/98-king

Kenny is a senior dog that we took last year after he was seized by animal control in a dog-fighting raid. Never had I met such a broken, defeated and shut down dog before I met Kenny. We will never know how long he lived in that horrific environment, it's possible he was there all of his life. At 10-12 years old, Kenny bore many emotional and physical scars from years of abuse. I don't know how anyone could do this to such a kind dog, but Kenny has the most amazing spirit. We have never seen even a hint of aggression from him, Kenny was never a fighter by choice. It was something that was forced on him, or perhaps he was bait, we'll never know that either. What I can say is that Kenny's progress has been very inspirational to me and all of us here. We sent him to training to help him adjust to a "normal" life. A life where he doesn't have to live in fear everyday, where he can enjoy the company of other dogs and most important of all, not live shackled like a prisoner on a chain. His foster mom has continued to help Kenny let go of his painful past and he slowly has started to show us his personality. He loves other dogs, despite everything, and he always enjoys his Mellow Mushroom pizza crusts at adoption events. The days he spent too uncomfortable to take treats from people are far behind him :)  It's time for Kenny to spread his paws and fly. It's time for him to have a home of his own to live his golden years in comfort, feeling the love of a family. If anyone is looking for a laid back companion, Kenny is your guy. Trust me when I say that he will be forever grateful for your friendship.

Those whom have met Eddie in person know that he has struggled to live a "normal" life. He was seized in a dog-fighting raid last year at just 12 weeks old and has been scared of the world ever since. His human interaction was very minimal in the first months of his life and what little time he spent with them was frightening. Eddie didn't trust us, he didn't trust other dogs and really, who could blame him? We hadn't seen a case of fear this severe before and wanted to do our best to help him. Since joining our rescue, Eddie has been two trainers, one didn't feel he was adoptable. We hoped training would help Eddie to be comfortable in his own skin and become more confident in himself, people, and the world around him. He made some progress, but returned to us still nervous, unsure of people and fearful of new situations. We knew he needed a very special foster home, with patient people and a lot of love. Perhaps this would be what could help him turn a corner, relax and let go of the fear he carries with him. This is the first photo update of Eddie resting with his new tiny human friend ;) He has also played with his canine foster sister and had lots of fun so far. We're so proud of him and are very thankful to his foster family for giving him this chance to shine!

Mercy has been with our rescue for over a year and she is the sweetest, happiest dog.  If any dog has ever deserved an amazing family, it’s this little girl but so far, her day just hasn’t come yet.  In order to help her charm the pants of potential adopters, we sent her for some additional training.  Look at her showing off her new skills, we are so very proud of her!

Hope

It was the reason why I founded this rescue in 2011 and continue to work to give dogs in Tennessee a second chance at life.  It was my hope that I could help those condemned to die in shelters across our state.  In some rural shelters, 90% of the dogs that come in the front door, never again have the chance to walk back out.  This is the sad truth, the reality for thousands of dogs through no fault of their own.

Tennessee Death Row Dogs works to rescue these “death row dogs”, provide medical and rehabilitative care if needed, and offer them for adoption.  To date, our networking efforts through social media has helped save the lives of nearly 2,000 dogs and our rescue has placed over 400 in permanent homes. 

As a handful of volunteers, we are quite proud of these accomplishments and are excited to see what the future holds.  We are proof that a few passionate people can make a positive difference in the world, and strive to inspire others to join us!
