This is not a complete list of Scottie Rescues awaiting placement.

The Scottie rescues listed here have been posted because we are trying to reach a broader audience in order to place them due to special needs or a small number of local applicants.

We have attempted to list any pertinent placement issues, but applicants should contact the listed Rescue Coordinator to obtain a complete description.

This list represents only a portion of the rescue Scotties available nationally.

Tennessee Scottie Rescue recently recovered several dogs from two huge puppy mills. To learn more about these mills, Google "Lyles TN puppy mill" and "New Albany MS Puppy mill".

We are still evaluating and treating them, some are ready to place but others will need some long-term medical treatment before placement. These dogs need homes where the owners are dedicated to making a better life for these wonderful creatures.

The dogs were all raised in Rabbit Hutch-type cages, and fed only every few days. There were multiple dogs in each cage, and they had to poop, pee, eat and sleep in the same cage. Some of the excrement would drop through and pile up under the cage, sometimes several feet deep, but some remained inside the cage, and they had to sleep on top of their own waste. Because of this they may be a little more difficult to house train, as they have gotten used to eliminating where they live.

These dogs have received very little positive interaction with humans, so most are very leery of human touch, some are down right fearful and some are hesitant but wanting so very much to be loved. Just to see a tail wag for the first time brings tears to a foster mom's eyes. Since they have never walked on solid ground and have never walked on a leash, most are fearful of standing and walking on pavement or grass.

These precious dogs need owners who are patient and understanding of where they came from, and what they have been through.  Giving these dogs a home will not be easy, but it will be one of the most rewarding and heart- wrenching things you will ever do. Because we cannot ship dogs at this time of year, adoption will be limited to people who are willing to drive to or those who live near Tennessee.  

We can arrange some transport, but not cross-country. These dogs have been though so much, they do not need to be passed through several hands before arriving at their forever homes.  

Please consider all the aspects of this type of adoption, and if you think you are up to the task, please fill out an online application* and be sure to indicate that you are interested in one of the TN puppy mill dogs.  For more information on the dogs that are available, contact Tennessee Scottie Rescue at jgmcafee@tnaccess.com or visit the Tennessee Rescue Website at www.scottierescue.com.

A few people have had trouble with the Access Code page that blocks direct access to the application.

When filling out the application, please provide an entry for
ALL of the Required fields (e.g. use NA if the field is not applicable).  Applications that do not include data for required fields will not be processed, and your entry data will be lost.
