My story

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

If you are interested in COLBY 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 pat.woofriver@gmail.com
Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached.

COLBY is as delightful as he is adorable. He is a happy boy who wants nothing more than to please his humans. He is smart, sweet and so much fun. His sparkling, soulful eyes radiate kindness. After just a short time with him, you will know just what an amazing dog he is. COLBY is an incredibly loyal and endlessly affectionate kind of fellow. He loves new people and loves to greet them with all sorts of wiggles. COLBY mostly likes to have fun. Whether it be self entertaining with toys or running zoomies in the yard, this goofball is always having fun. He also loves playing with other dogs and gets along well with everyone he meets. COLBY loves other dogs so much, we think he would be happiest in a home with at least one other playful pup. He is a confident dog who would happily accompany his family on any and all outdoor adventures. COLBY is laid back in the car and enjoys the ride, no matter where he's going. He is learning nice house manners from his canine foster siblings and is excellent in his crate while his foster family is not home. He is the type of dog that loves a daily excursion, but at the same time, if his person just wants to take it easy for the day, he is content with that too, just point him towards his toys. His forever family will feel like they hit the jackpot every day with this wonderful, good-natured guy!

This is from COLBY’s foster mom “In our little “foster world”… these moments are the best. We have had Colby for almost three months. He was a shelter dog, unaccustomed to house life, unaccustomed to strangers and new dogs, and routines. This dog has been an amazing blessing. I’ll be honest, I hesitate taking in male dogs at any age above 6 months. I have a pack of 4 females that have their alpha/submissive situation down pat. They know their places. When I bring in a male… it’s new and scary. But Colby… Colby has been perfect. I mean perfect. He has adjusted and gives you a hug every moment, every day every moment you want it. This dog literally hugs you. He knows your emotions, he understands English. He knows body language, he knows dog behaviors. He is easy. I would literally keep him, because of all those things. But I can’t. Because I have to save more. If anyone was to spend 10 minutes with him, they would fall in love. Not the “oh he’s cute love”.. but the “he’s my soul dog” love. I AM NOT KIDDING. This dog is the epitome of love. Full force, I adore you love.

COLBY is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations including 2 rounds of both the H3N2 and H3N8 canine influenza vaccinations.
His $490 adoption fee includes his interstate health certificate and the cost of transport to the New England area after he is officially adopted.

Please email the completed application to pat.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 Pet Express Transport (https://petexpresstupelo.wordpress.com) for our Nashville, Knoxville and New England adoptions. For our Midwest adopters, we have our own private transport.

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.
