My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Elliott, and my perfect home would have kids, dogs and a big yard to run and play in. I’m friendly, but sometimes I’m a scaredy cat and hide in my crate if there are new people around – especially big men – or if I hear loud or unfamiliar noises. I get along great with kids and like to sniff them while they pet me. I’m a good listener who is leash and crate trained. I’m also learning basic commands like sit, stay, come and down. I love getting petted, and I’m yours forever if you rub my belly. I can’t get enough of my chew toys, and I’m learning how to play fetch. It’s great fun to roll in monkey grass and run around the yard, especially if there’s someone to play chase. Please send in your adoption application for me, and I’ll give you some tips on rolling in the monkey grass.

Memphis/Nashville Adoptions
At ALIVE Rescue Memphis, we take placing animals in their forever homes very seriously. Our goal is to take the steps to ensure each animal/family pairing is an ideal match so the animal can live in harmony with his/her forever home. Our adoption application process is below:
Submit Application
• Applicants must be 21 years or older and must be able to provide proof of age.
• Applicant must live within 50 miles of Memphis or Nashville if interested in adopting and within 30 miles of Memphis if interested in fostering.
• Please allow 4-7 business days to process your application.
• Click here to apply.
Approve Application
• Applicants are required to provide personal and vet references. We will be calling these references before approving the application.
Interview
• Applicants will interview with the ALIVE Rescue President first. If approved, you will get to speak to the dogs foster family after.
Home Visit (MEMPHIS ONLY)
• If in Memphis we will do a home visit to give the adopter the opportunity to meet their potential new best friend. If the adopter has other animals we will do an introduction to make sure everyone gets along.
Pay Fee
• Currently, the adoption fee to adopt is $275 for ages 1 year and up and $300 for under a year.
Sign Adoption Contract
• Once adoption is approved and fees are paid, applicants will sign our ALIVE Rescue Adoption Contract to finalize the adoption.
Take the Pet Home
• Welcoming your new family member is the last step, and the best step!
Additional Adoption Info
• We require an additional $75 training deposit at the time of adoption. You will be required to enroll and complete a training class with your new companion at one of our approved training facilities. Once ALIVE Rescue Memphis receives proof of the completed class, this $75 deposit will be refunded.
• 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.
• All members of the family living in the home where the animal will be placed must be interviewed.
