About Mixed Breed Dogs

Mixed breed dogs are wonderfully unique companions, each one a one-of-a-kind blend of traits, personalities, and appearances. The genetic diversity of mixed breeds often leads to fewer inherited health problems and greater overall vigor. They come in every size, shape, and temperament imaginable.

Adopting a mixed breed means giving a home to a dog who truly needs one - they make up the majority of shelter dogs waiting for families. You'll gain a resilient, adaptable companion with a unique personality all their own. Mixed breeds prove every day that love isn't defined by a pedigree.

Adopting in Knoxville, TN

Knoxville's proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains and its warm East Tennessee community make it an excellent city for pet adoption. Local shelters have many wonderful animals looking for families who love the outdoors as much as they do.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

28°F to 48°F

Dec – Feb

Winters are generally mild with occasional cold snaps and light snow. Mountain elevations can be significantly colder, so dress pets warmly for Smoky Mountain hikes. Freezing rain is more common than heavy snow in the valley.

Spring

45°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Wildflowers bloom throughout the Smokies, making spring a spectacular time for trail walks. Pollen levels can be very high, which affects some pets. Begin flea and tick prevention early as the season warms.

Summer

65°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Heat and humidity can be intense in the Tennessee Valley. Seek shaded trails in the Urban Wilderness and carry extra water. Higher-elevation hikes in the Smokies offer relief from the valley heat.
