DO NOT BUY FROM PETSTORES!! i'm not from TN so i can't help with specific but please look into shelters, then breeders, and avoid petstores at all costs. most of their puppies come from puppy mills (warehouses where dogs and bred and bred until they die) and those puppies are usually euthanized if they're at the store too long. it's terrible and no one should support it.
i just adopted a puppy and i found it on the national pet shelter site www.petfinder.com you can search for shelters by zipcode. there's also a classified section where anyone can post and you cna find good ones on there too.
my advice, just make sure that you ALWAYS meet whoever it is that's breeding/adopting out their puppies. and ask for a health garantee at least until you can get your puppy to the vet for a professional checkup.
good luck!

www.petfinder.com. Enter your zip code and you will find tons of shelters and rescues in your area.
I promise you will be able to find any breed, sex, age and color dog you are looking for within 50 miles of your house at a shelter or rescue!
Please don't buy from a petstore or breeder when so many dogs and puppies already need homes. Many of these dogs or puppies already have all their shots, are spayed or neutered and are housebroken. Plus they cost FAR LESS than any pet than you'd buy from a petstore or breeder.
Save a life and adopt - Please?

There are many rescue organizations on the internet. Just type in the breed you want. Also, check with the local humane society. Whatever you do, don't buy one from a pet store. Alot of them come from "puppy mills."

Don't live in Knoxville, but my guess would be that you've got a Humane Society or other pet rescue organization that you can adopt from. Best way to get a pet IMHO :)
