You can visit www.CampChaos37206.org to see our current adoptable pup(s)! For information & help rehoming a pet, click on the Resources page. All good things, Capt Chaos


If you have a specific mix/breed of dog in mind, we are happy to suggest a pup from another rescue or from a local shelter.

Don't Breed or Buy While Shelter Animals Die!

If you don't find a pup that speaks to you, check out the animals at Petfinder, www.PetHarbor.com, or www.CampChaos37206.org/resources.html for:
*Nashville Davidson County Metro Animal Control
*Springfield Animal Control
*Nashville Humane Association
*Williamson County Animal Control
*Rutherford County P.A.W.S.
*Robertson County Animal Control
*Sumner County Animal Control

They have wonderful animals THAT ARE DYING TO BE ADOPTED! Depending on the shelter, the animals will be vetted, spayed/neutered, so please ask what is needed for any animal's follow-up vet care. THEY HAVE LITTLE TIME & ARE DYING FOR THEIR VERY OWN HUMAN TO ADOPT THEM!






Why Mixed Breeds Make Great Companions

Each breed is descended from a limited number of dogs. Because breeders have sought to create animals that have certain fixed attributes, purebred dogs today are very inbred. Genetically this means that, while all purebreds do not have significant health problems, they are predisposed to a range of hereditary and congenital diseases, including skin and eye conditions, allergies, various cancers, cardiac problems, and abnormalities in the kidneys and other organs.
•A 1994 Time magazine article on the effects of over breeding reported that as many as 25 percent of the 20 million purebred dogs in the US are afflicted with a serious genetic problem.
•Mixed breeds, on the other hand, have something called hybrid vigour. When you mix two or more separate gene pools, the recessive genes that carry the health problems are buried. As a result, you get a healthier animal. Simply put, mixed-breed dogs are, in general, healthier than their purebred cousins and typically require fewer visits to the veterinarian.
•Mixed breeds are also more temperamentally sound than purebreds. Not all chows are aggressive, not all cockers have a nervous tendency to bite and not all retrievers are gentle, but generalizations about breed temperament often hold true, at least to some extent. Mixed breeds are typically less extreme temperamentally. Character and behavioural traits do manifest in mixed-breed dogs, but in a diluted form.
•In the Time magazine article cited above, syndicated animal columnist Mike Capuzzo noted, "Mutts are the Hondas of the dog world. They're cheap, reliable and what nature intended in the first place."

Please Spay & Neuter Your Pets
