Foster Dog News
2025
We think foster Jay (TN) is a bit younger than we first thought, maybe around 9 months or so old. He’s doing so well in foster care. Accidents are now few and far between and improving daily. And he’s learning so much! Just look at him!
His foster mom says, “He’s definitely a youngster and wants to play with Sky (his foster sister, and SEGSP alum), ALL THE TIME. He listens when Sky lets him know it’s too much. He wants to listen and please. He’s always happy and it seems like he’s always smiling. He’s up for a walk anytime and can hang with the big dogs, even though he is super small.” Jay, we are so proud of you. What a good boy! Jay will be in foster care for another few weeks while we continue to prepare him for his forever home. Could that be with you? #TN Say hello to sweet Cassie—a 6-month-old beauty who’s already turning heads with her smarts and charm!
Cassie came to rescue as a stray and is a little underweight, but with the love of her foster family (the wonderful Barker crew!), she’ll be thriving in no time. This girl is bright—she already sits on command and is well on her way to being housebroken with just a little training and a few tasty treats. She’s incredibly well-behaved for her age, loves every person and pup she meets, and is especially enjoying playtime with her foster brother Griswold. His bark startled her at first, but her natural instincts kicked in—she listens, learns, and adapts beautifully. A huge thanks to her transport team—Patrick, Rebecca, and especially Jerry, who gave her the royal treatment by flying her first class in a private plane halfway across Tennessee, from the shelter to her foster home She’s so brave-she laid down and slept nearly the entire time! Cassie will be in foster care for about a month as she settles in, works on her training, and gives her foster family time to get to know her even better. Stay tuned—this girl’s future is as bright as she is! #tn Meet Jay (TN), a handsome 1 ½ year-old petite male who recently made his way into rescue after a stay at a shelter. A huge thank you to the Merritt family for opening their hearts and home to foster him — and to Carol and Wendy for helping with his transport!
Jay is an all-around wonderful dog. He’s the perfect mix of playful and laid-back — ready for adventure when you are, but just as happy to chill out. He got along instantly with his foster siblings, Sky and Tag (both proud SEGSP alums!), and has shown off his great doggy manners from day one. Some of Jay’s favorite things include rope toys, bones, car rides (where he sits and stares thoughtfully out the window), and fun outings like trips to PetSmart and relaxing breakfasts at the coffee shop. He’s excellent on a leash, a perfect gentleman at the vet, and although he enjoys many comforts, he’s decided dog beds just aren’t his thing! Jay will be spending the next few weeks settling into foster life before he’s ready to find his forever family. Stay tuned — this sweet boy is going to make someone very lucky! #WelcomeJay #SEGSPrescue #GSPheart #TN Dixie (TN) is settling in with her foster sister, SEGSP alum, Josey. Her foster dad says she may be the most beautiful GSP he’s ever seen. And wow, just look at this picture. Gorgeous! Dixie will be in foster care for another couple of weeks and will then be making decisions about her forever home. Stay tuned! #gorgeous #smile #segsprescue
#TN Please help us give a warm SEGSP welcome to Dixie, a beautiful liver and white full-blooded GSP who just made her way to Middle Tennessee! At nearly four years old, Dixie is spayed, housebroken, and crate trained (though she prefers not to be crated for long stretches). Huge thanks to Shane, Chad and Logan, who helped with her transport. And Logan even temp fostered her overnight before she went to her foster home. We are so grateful to Jeff and his SEGSP alum and fantastic foster sister, Josey, for welcoming her into their home as a foster.
Dixie is full of life and love! She’s dog-friendly, lives peacefully with a cat (after some initial curiosity), and absolutely adores children. She loves to cuddle, play fetch and tug-of-war, run and explore, and she’s even a fan of healthy snacks like carrots. She’s smart, too — she knows commands like sit, shake, lay down, stay, “go kennel,” “potty,” and “out.” She does pull on a leash, so she’ll need someone to help her practice good walking manners. Dixie is fearless and curious — when the other dogs run from a strange noise, Dixie is the brave one who runs toward it to investigate! She’s used to having free roam of the house and does great when left alone. Dixie will be in foster care for about a month before she’s ready to find her forever family. She’d thrive in a home with at least one other dog and lots of love to share. Welcome to the SEGSP family, Dixie — we’re so glad you’re here! #tn |
