Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of endearing dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Nashville.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups 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.

Nike, pit bull terrier

Nike is a male pit bull terrier dog in the care of East CAN (Community Action Network).

Nike gets along well with kids, dogs or cats. Nike is neutered, and he has had all his shots. Have no fear: He is already house-trained.

Here's what Nike's friends at East CAN (Community Action Network) think of him:

He is social, affectionate, intelligent and calm. He is a great office companion, satisfied to warm your feet while you wheel and deal. He loves other dogs and has great play behavior. He is not cat tested, but given his overall demeanor, with a proper intro he would be a great feline friend.

Dolce, Siberian husky mix

Dolce is an adorable female Siberian husky mix being kept at Big Fluffy Dog Rescue.

Dolce will get along great with your other dogs. Her ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. She has been vaccinated and spayed. She's already house-trained.

Notes from Dolce's caretakers:

Dolce is a five year old, 44-pound husky mix or toy direwolf for you GOT fans. She is very people-friendly and outgoing. She is probably best with kids past the squealing years given her activity level, but she's a very good girl. She is good with other dogs as well.

Nora, Staffordshire bull terrier mix

Nora loves other dogs. She is vaccinated and spayed. Good news: She is already house-trained.

If we could describe Nora in one word, it would be "velcro". This sweet, sassy, and silly pittie mix will always be at your side no matter what. Nora is almost four years old, and looking for a foster or forever home. Due to an unstable living situation, her previous home was unable to keep her and sadly had to surrender her.
