Adopt a Terrier in Tennessee

Terrier mixes vary widely but tend to share the bold, energetic, tenacious temperament the group is known for. Many are pulled from Southern shelters where small mixed terriers are abundant. A rescued terrier mix is typically scrappy, smart, and deeply loyal.

Tennessee has a large rescue dog population, particularly in rural counties outside Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville. The state is a major source for transport networks across the country. A rescued Tennessee dog often comes from a high-need shelter where alternatives are limited.
