My story

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

Snuffles is an 11 weeks old (as of mid-Nov) Australian terrier/giant schnauzer mix. The parents are both known dogs. He was purchased from the person who bred the pups but the buyer found out the very next day that she would be needed to help care for a parent undergoing chemotherapy. She selflessly surrendered Snuffles to rescue to find the perfect home and complete his vet care. So far Snuffles has had first shots and deworm only. He needs possibly three to four more weeks before he can be neutered. Hopefully we can do this when time for second vaccines and deworm.
Snuffles is the cutest dog but he is also very bright. He is currently baby gated in the bathroom when he cannot be supervised and he has learned to run to the back door and outside to potty. He also greets everyone so sweetly both people and other dogs. He truly is a gentle soul. He will be a big dog at adult size. Snuffles loves to play and is so happy. He looks like a blue merle English sheep dog. I expect this dog to be an outstanding pet. His $200 adoption fee

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.

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.
