If you are interested in SOPHIE or in adopting a pup in general, the first step is an adoption application. Download an adoption application
here Please email the completed application to shelby.woofriver@gmail.com
Please submit an application AND do NOT also contact the shelter. You will be contacting both the adoption coordinator and the marketing director, who do not see each other's emails. This causes confusion.
Please allow me to introduce you to stunning SOPHIE. She is a young, well mannered girl with the perfect balance of snuggles and play. SOPHIE's infamous head tilt is simply irresistible and will melt you every time. Her sweet smile also lights up the room! When her foster mom wakes up in the morning, comes home from outings, or rubs her belly, SOPHIE grins from ear to ear. This dog friendly gal shares her foster home with a large senior pup so she know how to be gentle with the elderly. She has met cats in passing and done just fine. We are happy to do a more in depth cat test if the perfect applicant has feline family members.
SOPHIE is potty trained, rides calmly in the car, and knows to only chew on her toys. She is endlessly sweet, though is a touch timid at first. No need to worry there. She warms up quickly and then becomes your best friend for life! SOPHIE is sure to be the star of her forever family's story for the next decade plus!!!
SOPHIE is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations including 2 rounds of both the H3N2 and H3N8 canine influenza vaccinations.
Her $490 adoption fee includes her interstate health certificate and cost of transport to Chicago after she is adopted.

Please email the completed application to shelby.woofriver@gmail.com. It typically takes us around 5 BUSINESS DAYS to process an application. We will reach out to you as soon as your application is processed. Thank you in advance for your patience.
All of our dogs start their journey in Memphis, Tennessee where they remain in loving foster families until they are adopted. Once adopted,some pups stay local in Memphis. Many others travel via one of our transport partners to their new forever homes. We use Alpha Dog Pet Transport for our New England, Nashville, and Knoxville adoptions (https://alphadogtransport.com) and The Road Home Pet Transport for our Midwest adopters (https://www.facebook.com/roadhomepettransport).
Breed selection is done in conjunction with two local vets and is not to be considered a guarantee but rather a well-educated decision from well qualified staff.
Due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you request, complete, and submit an application before asking additional questions. We try very hard to include all pertinent information in our bios. We are excited to help you find your new family member. However, Woof River is 100% volunteer operated. We want to spend our time saving dogs and assisting those adopters who have taken the time to complete an application. Thank you for understanding.
