My personality

My story

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

If you are reading about this dog, he/she is still available for adoption.

Meet Ivy: Your Future Best Friend!
Location: Memphis, Tennessee

Ivy is a sweet and joyful dog who truly deserves a second chance at life. Rescued from the side of the road in poor condition, this brave girl has blossomed since being taken in. Initially timid, Ivy quickly warmed up to her new surroundings. She is fully vetted and spayed. We don't think she will get over 45-55lbs. She is less than 18' tall.

This happy little lady adores attention, especially to be pet by anyone willing to show her some attention, and is always eager for a good treat, walk, or play session. Ivy is very inquisitive. She wants to know what is in every cupboard and box. She is always looking out the window or gate to see what is happening.


Ivy walks beautifully on a leash, is crate trained, house trained and knows some basic commands. She is very smart and quick to learn. She knows how to wait, follow, and tap your hand for a treat.

She is a jumper, so we continue to work on her jumping. She still chases the cat but has no intent of hurting them. She does not respond negatively when the cat corrects her. She continues to play with her foster sibling, which is a Golden, so a home with a playmate IS A MUST!

She does have a high-pitched cry when she thinks she has been left behind. She grunts when she is happy. She has a lot of energy and is very sociable. She sleeps through the night. She sucks on her blanket when she sleeps. She snores at night. She even has the cutest burps after she eats too fast.

Bonnie has adjusted well to home life and can navigate stairs with ease. Nothing phases her—not even the vacuum cleaner!

Ivy has a healthy appetite (She even has the cutest burps after she eats too fast.) and enjoys car rides, making her the perfect adventure buddy. Although Ivy is a velcro dog and loves to be with her human, she would fit best in a home with a playmate. While she’s friendly with everyone she meets, Ivy would thrive best in a cat-free home. She would benefit from a fenced yard where she can play and run.

Ivy leans against her foster mom's leg when she is working in the kitchen. She lays on her feet when she is sitting. She likes to snuggle on the couch. She is such a happy and affectionate dog.

If you’re searching for a playful companion who’s ready to share love and create wonderful memories, Ivy is the perfect match for you! If you are interested in Ivy, please complete the following application to begin the adoption process:
