Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some cuddly canines? There are dozens of deserving dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Nashville.
Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.
(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

Baxter, Great Pyrenees mix
Baxter is a sweet male Great Pyrenees mix staying at Big Fluffy Dog Rescue.
Baxter plays well with others — he gets along well with other dogs, cats and kids. Baxter is already neutered, and he has all his shots. Have no fear: He's already house-trained.
Notes from Baxter's caretakers:
Meet Baxter. He's a really handsome Great Pyrenees mix who we think could have some Husky in him. His coloring is remarkable. He's drop dead gorgeous and has a personality to match. Baxter is sweet and kind, but may be a bit large for toddlers who are not used to big dogs. Pyr rules apply to this guy. He will need a securely fenced-in yard and someone committed to leash walking.
