My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bobo is an approximately 3-4 year old male, Papillion mix. He was found wandering on Summer Avenue, and taken to the Animal Emergency Center by a good Samaritan. At that time, he was extremely emaciated, and had severe hair loss due to flea infestation. It is miraculous what good care and nutrition can accomplish. His fur is quickly returning, and he now weighs, about five pounds.

Bobo is a very happy little guy, who gets along beautifully with his foster parents, and the nine other dogs in his foster home. Every night, he and a dachshund mix curl up together in a small crate. They go into the crate to cuddle, even before being asked. During the day, he loves to play with any willing dog.

Bobo is healthy, neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on shots. He is housebroken with a dog door, and will use pads. It would probably be best if Bobo went to a home with an other dog, and his petite size should be considered if children are in the home.

The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience.

Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.

We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
