About Bones

Bones is a big girl with an even bigger heart. She weighs about 100 pounds and sometimes forgets her own size—once she trusts you, expect her to climb into your lap or wrap you up in a tight hug, always quick to give chin kisses. She may be a bit wary at first, needing some time to feel comfortable, but after that, she’s deeply affectionate and devoted. Bones is fully house trained and easy to have around the house. She gets along with cats, usually steering clear, but would prefer to be the only dog so she can soak up undivided attention. Loud noises and thunderstorms unsettle her, so a calm, understanding household is key. Bones is looking for stability after losing her owner and hopes to find someone ready to offer a steady, loving home. She’s already spayed and vaccinated, and her adoption fee covers her veterinary care. Bones is currently in Crossville, TN and can be transported for an additional fee out of Tennessee to the East Coast, Great Lakes, or New England regions. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
