How-DEE!

Minnie Pearl's familiar howdyOne of the first things I said when I saw the precious pooch named Minnie Pearl was, “HowDEE!”

Minnie looked so forlorn lying in her pen, what with her misshapen, cropped ears. This girl, I thought, deserves something more akin to country music star treatment! I gently coaxed her out of her pen at Metro Animal Care and Control and took her for a walk outside. Minnie Pearl — so sweet and gentle — just wanted to cuddle; she wouldn’t even leave my side. As I returned Ms. Pearl back to her pen, adoption hours had just begun. At that moment, I resigned myself to finding Minnie a loving home.

Minutes later, I met a lovely woman and her two young daughters who had come to the shelter to look at Grandpa, a much older bulldog/pit bull mix. She already had two younger, rowdier dogs at home and wanted an older, mellower dog to join them.  As luck would have it, I had taken Grandpa out for a walk minutes earlier. Not the mellow dog at all, Grandpa was a rather feisty fella which behaved younger than his years. I told her of my experience with Grandpa, thinking all along that Minnie — not Grandpa — was the dog she perhaps ought to be considering. I explained to her that although Minnie was only a couple of years old, she wasMinnie Pearl, now Ruby very gentle and loving… perhaps just the dog to help temper the rambunctious behavior of the woman’s other two.

When the family passed by the pen a second time, Minnie seemed to look longingly at the family with sadness in her eyes — or, just maybe, the perceived sadness was my own pity for the precious canine. At that point I introduced the family to Minnie, hoping that the metal barrier between them would soon be but a memory.

I finished my shift and headed for the front lobby, where I was thrilled to see the family filling out the form to officially meet and greet Minnie.  I struggled to contain my excitement and let them know I hoped they would find Minnie to be the one. At soul level, I was extremely hopeful this was Minnie’s lucky day — the day she’d find a home with a loving family. Could my words of encouragement actually save a canine life today, or would they return home empty handed? Could my simple actions possibly serve as catalyst for a loving relationship between a doomed shelter pup and searching family? Would this be a random act of kindness with results?

Minnie and familyA couple of days later, Metro Animal Control posted a beautiful picture of Minnie Pearl going home with her new family. The joy I felt at that moment was indescribable! Because of the small amount of time taken to understand a family’s needs, I had actually saved Minnie!  And if I can do it, anyone can!

Minnie Pearl now goes by the name of Ruby. A recent video sent by her new family shows Ruby frolicking in the snow with her two new four-legged siblings. It doesn’t get better than that for a true dog lover! I encourage everyone who loves animals to take the time to volunteer at a local animal shelter or dog rescue operation and see how satisfying the experience can be… especially when you know you are instrumental in creating a new and lasting relationship between man and man’s best friend.

Bless your new loving family, canine and human alike!

A dozen shelter dogs in Nashville are closer to finding forever homes thanks to a family Christmas gift. Instead of the typical gift card or mall trinket, Tails of the Trail pack leader Emily Raudabaugh chose to sponsor the adoption fees for a dozen shelter dogs at Metropolitan Nashville Animal Care & Control (MACC) as her gift to her family this year.
[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Metro Nashville Animal Care & Control“I was thinking about what to give my family and I came to the quick realization that we are blessed with all we need,” Emily said.

“These homeless dogs stole my heart after volunteering at Metro with Tails of the Trail and they need forever homes.”

Check out twelve wonderful dogs in these photos, find out more on AdoptaPet.com, and contact MACC if you’re interested in adopting.

Any of these pups can be matched to a forever family and the usual adoption fees will be waived thanks to Emily.

Home for the holidays! Volunteer love helps Baxter find a forever family

Bernice Karnett, a physician and volunteer staff member with Tails of the Trail, shares her recent post-hike experience with Baxter (a.k.a. Joey), a dog hidden in the back corners…

[av_image src=’https://tailsofthetrail.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_33141-180×180.jpg’ attachment=’1037′ attachment_size=’square’ align=’right’ styling=” hover=’av-hover-grow’ link=’lightbox’ target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’][/av_image]

On December 12, 2015, Tails of the Trail hosted a shelter dog hike at Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control (MACC). After helping to bring out several dogs to partner up with their companion hikers from Belmont University, I went to the back room and saw this sad boy in his pen. I knew I just had to take him outside. It was a beautiful sunny day and when I showed him to Lisa Thomas, co-founder of TOTT, I told her he had no name on his kennel. It’s probable he was a recent street pickup. We decided to call him “Joey.” He was sweet, affectionate and oh-so docile. He had a lot of scrapes, especially on his face, no doubt from being a stray and was bone thin, but still he wagged his tail in friendship, all the while shivering in fear.

That day after I left the shelter I couldn’t stop thinking about Joey. I knew then that I would return the following weekend to MACC and volunteer to walk the pups; I just had to see him again.

[av_image src=’https://tailsofthetrail.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Joey-Baxter-IMG_3339-180×180.jpg’ attachment=’1040′ attachment_size=’square’ align=’left’ styling=” hover=’av-hover-grow’ link=’lightbox’ target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’][/av_image]

Upon my arrival I made a bee line to his cage. My heart melted as soon as I saw him. Not only was he wagging his tail in excitement–I think he remembered me–but his whole body was in full action.  This time the tag on his kennel had a name, Baxter.

So out Baxter and I went into the play yard where we spent a wonderful time cuddling and enjoying the fresh air. I couldn’t help but bring him a special treat, a piece of baked chicken. After all, he needed a little meat on his skin and bones. My initial thoughts were that he would quickly devour the meal and my hand, but I was so wrong. He very slowly and gently ate each morsel with such delight!

Now I confirmed in my heart that I had to help sweet Baxter any way possible. I was on a mission to save this wonderful pup!

As luck would have it, when I entered the waiting room of MACC, there were several people inside and I started talking to and introducing them to Baxter.  I described this wonderful sweet boy and everyone became excited to meet him. In fact, one couple had specifically come to MACC to look for a cat but they ultimately decided to spend some time with Baxter, my sweet dog, in the socializing room.

[av_image src=’https://tailsofthetrail.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Joey-Baxter-IMG_3336-180×180.jpg’ attachment=’1039′ attachment_size=’square’ align=’right’ styling=” hover=’av-hover-grow’ link=’lightbox’ target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’][/av_image]

I spent the rest of the weekend thinking about Baxter. Was he lonely and waiting for my return visit?  Was it possible that someone would fall in love with him just as I had done?  I could only hope so.

Upon returning to work on Monday I immediately logged onto the MACC website to check the status of adoptable dogs. To my amazement, there was no Baxter listed. As I started to cry, my nurse walked into the room. I told her the story of Baxter, while tears ran down my face. They were tears of JOY!  Baxter had found a forever home just in time to celebrate the holidays and I was forever grateful. For me and Baxter, this was truly the best Christmas present ever!

I believe everyone should spend their free time loving an orphaned pup. And who knows what miracles may happen. I feel like my few hours with Baxter helped calm him, helped him feel loved, and hopefully made him a better fit for his forever family!

‘tis the Season!

Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog courtesy of Tails of the Trail™ and our Shelter/Rescue Partners

Tails of the Trail™ has joined forces with our animal shelter partners to sponsor the adoption fees for over a dozen dogs in celebration of October’s National “Adopt a Shelter Dog” Month. 

Each dog is currently available for adoption and we hope you will pay it forward so another deserving furry one can be matched with its forever family. In addition to dog sponsorship fees we have also funded monies toward veterinary care for one beautiful boxer at Middle Tennessee Boxer Rescue and provided a crate of special request items for Nashville Humane Association.

Bonaparte’s Retreat

Juno: Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix, spayed female, about 4 years old, 50 pounds, up-to-date on all vaccinations

ADOPTED!

Curious, energetic, determined and super smart: That’s JUNO! She knows many commands and tricks—Sit, Down, Twirl, Paw, Crawl, Stay. And her Sit & Stay is truly awesome. An outdoors-y girl, she would make a great hiking companion and she walks beautifully on a leash. A water dog, too, Juno enjoys a cool swimming hole during the hot summer months. Even though she likes playing with most dogs, she seems just as content being an only dog so she can have someone to call her very own. She’s either busy as a bee, studying every corner of her environment or she’s a happy napper. And with a gentle and loving massage, she snuggles up to her people and works overtime giving kisses. Because she’s a smart and determined dog, Juno needs a patient, just-as-smart leader to continue her training. She can be a resource-guarder and at times hesitant meeting new people—but she’s also one of the most-eager-to-learn dogs we’ve ever met. With the proper training and guidance, you’ll find that Juno really is just about the perfect dog!

Dalton: 2 years old, neutered male

Maxine: 5 years old, spayed female

ADOPTED!

I am a mellow girl and very shy as I have lived my whole life as a free-roamer and without a forever family to take care of me. I love people, dogs and cats. I’m heartworm negative. Unfortunately I was in early pregnancy when I was spayed so it was a bit hard on me. Just give me some special love and time and I will be a wonderful companion, confidante and adventure twin. Visit me at Cheatham County Animal Control!

Navient:

ADOPTED!

Navient along with his sister Sallie Mae and mother, Meryl were rescued from a home in Marion County March, 2015. They were all ironically named after financial institutions since one of our employees had just finished paying off her student loans!  Navient was born January 1, 2015 and is an American Bulldog and Jack Russell mix. He will grow to be large dog (currently weighs 57 pounds) and is already bigger than his mom, the Jack Russell mix. Navient has a lot of love to give but he’s a very large puppy so he gives it a little too exuberantly. He needs a home with the time and patience to teach him large dog manners. He is an excellent running companion and enjoys long walks. He loves all people and kids and gets along with other dogs that can tolerate his level of energy. He gets especially excited when you give him dog treats or peanut butter!

The paid sponsorship fee includes neuter, a free veterinary exam within 2 weeks of adoption at local participating vets, up to date vaccinations, test for heartworms & heartworm preventative medication, de-wormer, flea preventative & microchip. Please visit Pet Placement Center at 5975 Dayton Blvd., Chattanooga, TN 37415 to meet Navient. Questions can be answered by emailing manager@thalppc.com or calling 423-877-0738. Adoption Applications are on our website www.petplacementcenter.com

Princess Peach:

ADOPTED!

Princess Peach is all that her name implies. This young, brown eyed shepherd mix beauty was born in October 2014 and is playful, charming, and athletic. In fact, because of her gymnastic capabilities, she will require at least a 6 foot fence that encloses her home ground surroundings. A family surrendered her to us after attempting to find her rightful owner. She had no identification tags but was healthy so we assume she belonged to someone who fed and treated her well. She is still young and has good energy that will require the new parent (or parents) to commit to frequent walks or sport-like exercise.

This is a very happy dog with a wonderful spirit. Princess Peach warms up to people quickly and treats everyone like family. She plays well with other dogs and until recently spent her days playing with Sampson, a boxer who was adopted. It is unknown whether she plays well with cats and small children but she is so good-natured, that surely she can be socialized with most every living thing.  She deserves the love and attention of those who are seeking a larger dog with an ideal “best friend” personality.

The paid sponsorship includes a free veterinary exam within 2 weeks of adoption at local participating vets, up to date vaccinations, test for heartworms & heartworm preventative medication, de-wormer, flea preventative, microchip, & spay or neuter. Please visit Princess Peach at Pet Placement Center located at 5975 Dayton Blvd., Chattanooga, TN 37415 Wednesday through Sunday, noon until 5 PM. You can also get more information by emailing manager@thalppc.com or calling 423-877-0738. Our adoption application is available on our website at http://www.petplacementcenter.com/

Sandy: 1 year old, spayed, about 58 pound Pit Bull Terrier mix

ADOPTED!

Sandy is every dog’s playmate and loves chasing the ball. She is a goof ball, fun loving, and happy-all-the-time kind of dog looking for someone who loves to laugh and play around. Must have a great sense of humor and some time to spend. She’s always on a mission to please you!

Sandy is an absolute delight! She will make an enthusiastic walking companion and loves to run in the shelter yard. Sandy especially enjoys playing with toys. And she truly enjoys being around people and is always ready to be petted. This great young dog will be such a fun and loyal companion.

Smokey: 2 years old, male, 57 pound American Pitbull Terrier

ADOPTED!

Smokey is a very special dog having experienced gunshot injuries to his face/neck. He was recently featured on local Nashville news and is one of many reasons to respect our state of Tennessee’s Animal Abuse Registry. He is stitched and healing nicely today. Due to this sensitivity Smokey is best walked in a harness versus neck collar.

If you are looking for a best friend, come meet Smokey! He will be by your side for daily walks and enjoys playtime in the shelter yard. Most of all Smokey deserves a forever home that will treasure his fun-loving spirit and pamper him with many years of deserving companionship. The volunteers at WCAC love Smokey. He is located at Williamson County Animal Center. You can learn more about him by emailing wcacangels@yahoo.com.
