Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hey there--my name is Toby! I'm a freckle faced, loveable big guy who has long legs, a big head, and a heart the size of a mountain! I love people and will literally follow my foster mom around the house during the day. I'm not super annoying or needy, I just like to check in and make sure she's ok. Plus she may drop a treat or piece of food, and who would want to miss something that good? I'm a totally different dog outside though. I'm confident and content. I love to play with my foster brother and chase the occasional squirrel who comes in my yard. I absolutely adore going for walks. My foster parents have taught me to sit nicely and wait while they suit me up for our adventures.
I get along great with other animals. I live with my foster brother named Grizz and we cuddle and romp around the backyard. I also went on a weekend field trip with a temp foster and was a gentlemen to her dogs and her cat! I'm also great with people and I'm a sweet greeter when friends come by to visit. My foster parents are wonderful and have been working on some basic commands with me since I came into their home. So far I have mastered sit, shake, down, and stay. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I would say the thing I'm best at is cuddling! I'm happy to be a lapdog if you will let me. I know I'm a little on the big side but I will happily curl into a little ball. If you are looking for a gentle giant who would love to go one weekend adventures and nap hard, I'm your dude!
All of our pets start their journey in Memphis Tennessee where they remain in loving foster families until they are adopted.
In order to qualify for ALIVE’s program all of the following steps must be met: • You must be at least 24 years of age and be able to provide ALIVE with proof of age. • Any current pets must be up to date on vaccinations, and be spayed/neutered. Exceptions to this will only be considered if proof of a medical explanation is provided. • If you currently rent, you must provide a landlord’s phone number and a copy of your executed lease. • All members of the family living in the home where the animal will be placed must be interviewed. • Allow an ALIVE Rescue Memphis representative into your home for a visit to insure that your home is safe for the potential new dog or cat. • Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and proper care for a pet.

Due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you submit an application immediately to start the adoption process. We try very hard to include all pertinent information in our bios. We are excited to help you find your new family member. However, ALIVE Rescue Memphis is operated 100% by volunteers. 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.
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.
