Chert Hound Mix Knoxville, TN

Chert is Mr. All American of the group. He loves to greet you at the door, he is fist to grab a toy and he is obsessed with belly rubs. He is super goofy and enjoys chasing and wrestling with his siblings. He is on the smaller size of the gang but his heart is huge. He is estimated to be around 10 weeks of age, and was just neutered, where he also received his first round of vaccines. Chert has been dewormed and received his first round of prevention so he is ready to find his forever human to spoil him.

Please Note: Chert and his siblings are PUPPIES. They are still working on their potty training, leash skills, and manners. Please make sure this is something you are prepared to commit to. As of now they are using pee pads in between potty breaks. Since they just received their first vaccines we are just now starting leash training.

A momma and her 10 puppies were found on a remote mountain side in Grainger County living in a cave and surviving off trash and wild animal carcass leftovers.
Battling the frigid temperatures and record rainfalls mom lost two of those ten puppies on that mountainside. PAWZ and the property owner had to step in and help.
After a couple days of effort we were able to secure the 8 remaining puppies, against mom’s best efforts at stealing them back.
Unable to catch mother before the snow arrived we were forced off the mountain until mother natures frigid grip was loosened.
During the snowstorm we were able to regroup and come up with a plan to try for mom as soon as we could make it back up the mountain. We hit a high of 30 degrees and we took the opportunity. Shovels and salt melt in hand we worked up the properties 300 yard drive, making it to where mom was bedding down.
Immediately upon getting to the top we started setting up the dog pen to trap her in. Momma watched us the entire time. Enticing her with her puppies in a crate and a big chunk of rotisserie chicken, it wasn’t long before she was in and we had her!
With everyone safely off the mountain, the real work begins with vetting, spay/nueter, and rehab and that’s where we need your help!
