 Scottie Rescue Placement List
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
