Description:

Update. It's now mid February and Bennett and his brothers are happy and healthy, building trust in people and their environment - learning that living is no longer a struggle and that life can be a lot of fun. They are building up their confidence, are smart and love to play! Frankie (now Milo) has already been adopted and loving his new home. Bennett and Cole were a little more shy but are now ready for a home of their own. Here is their story before they came to AC ARF. In late December, three young pups were abandoned at a church in Oliver Springs. They found shelter under a nearby house of an elderly couple who cared enough to feed them and who reached out to AC ARF for help. Thanks to collaborative efforts, these pups have gained weight, but are still timid and need to be in a home where they can build social skills and reach their full potential. We have called them Frankie, Cole and Bennett after the legendary musicians. AC ARF is looking for fosters to help get these pups out of the cold and learn how to live with love and a warm bed. Please message us or call Katrina at (865) 414-XXXX if you can help! All medical expenses, including neuter, will be covered by AC ARF. Here is their story. These pups surely know what side their toast is buttered on, and it didn’t take them long to learn that a covered shelter with food and water was a much safer place to live, and moved into the pen created for them on their own accord! With reliable food, water, shelter and bedding these pups are already feeling much better than when they arrived cold, wet, starving and homeless. They have already begun to build confidence in visitors to their new world…especially when there are yummy treats involved! They came into rescue as timid and shy in the company of strangers, but we are learning they are each very sweet boys that will win over hearts in no time at all. Once in a home environment, we know these babies will flourish! What better way to start off 2024 than to help save a life! Read on to learn about Bennett. Bennett appears to be a Black-mouthed Cur, a loyal and hardworking dog breed that is sensitive, playful and full of boundless energy. He’s pretty too, with one blue and one brown eye…called Heterochromia iridis. Curs were bred to help farmers and hunters in the rugged terrain of the southeastern United States…working dogs that could herd livestock, protect the home, and track game. However, they also have a sensitive side, respond well to positive reinforcement and make great family dogs. Black-mouthed Curs are known for their high intelligence and problem-solving abilities. They thrive on mental stimulation, enjoy challenging tasks, and are quick learners. They are also fearless and cautious around strangers, making them effective sentinels. Indeed, Bennett vocalized with a low rumble when we first entered his pen, but quickly warmed up when he understood there was no threat. He is already venturing forward to take treats from the hand. Bennett isn’t quite ready to run a marathon with a family yet, but we are working with him and seeing his shyness lessen. Curs can be gentle and affectionate with children and other pets in the household. When provided with stability and care, nature has a way of working things out. As you can see from the pictures, these pups continue to sleep all bundled together for warmth and comfort. Smart pups considering they have probably had zero guidance, let alone love. Bennett is starting to learn he can trust people, so we are now looking for a family to help him and his litter mates build up their confidence. And that is where foster or foster-to-adopt families can help by providing affection, stability and belonging to pups like Bennett. We want these pups to learn that life isn’t just about surviving…it’s about flourishing. The couple that found Bennett sheltering under their house with his siblings think so too! And so do we! Please join us to help them each transition to happy, healthy dogs with a home and family of their own. The best is yet to come for these pups and the lucky families they join. Please message us or call Katrina at (865) 414-XXXX if you can help!If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bennett, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
