My story

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

Hi! I’m Franklin and I love toys! I can’t believe I have a bunch to play with, I really like to take them out of my toy box one at a time. I entertain myself just fine this way but I would love a dog sibling to teach me how to play. I have the youthful energy of any young pup but I like to snuggle equally as much. I just love to cuddle up next to my person and even on their laps if they let me, but no pressure. I’m both curious and timid when meeting new people, so I’m working on my confidence. I’m also working on leash walking and I can even catch a ball in my mouth! Can you believe that?! I’m pretty proud of that move. I am also crate trained and house trained-yahoo!! I’d love to meet you.

P.S. I’ve been told I have super soft velveteen ears.

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.

Go meet their pets

The first time you will meet your dog in person is when they arrive on transport in Nashville, UNLESS you choose to travel to Memphis before the adoption is final, to meet your potential family member. We do our best in the interview process to ask as many questions possible about your current animals, household, and general things you are looking for in a dog. We do this to ensure all parties are comfortable and happy with the adoption. It is our goal to give you a companion for 10-15 years. We want our dogs to be in forever homes! We understand this type of adoption is not for everyone and would encourage any applicant who is uncomfortable with not meeting one of our dogs beforehand, to refrain from submitting an application.

More about this rescue

ALIVE Rescue Memphis is a branch of ALIVE Rescue, a very successful foster based rescue that has been going strong in Chicago for over 12 years. Besides adopting out homeless animals, we also do reach out days at children's hospitals and senior living programs. Providing pet owners with all the tools they need is also very important to us. We plan to do community pet days, like our branch in Chicago, and supply vaccines and microchip to low income pet owners. Our desire is to keep pets in homes, and out of the shelters,

Our mission statement is ALIVE Rescue Memphis is an animal rescue that protects the lives and the rights of animals. We believe every animal has the right to a well-balanced, socialized and fulfilled life. We take on the responsibility to save, rehabilitate and place abandoned, abused and stray animals. We believe strongly in education, and providing pet owners with the tools they need to keep their animals happy and healthy pets. ALIVE Rescue Memphis promotes sustainable living & cruelty free living by building awareness, appreciation and respect for all animals and the environment within our communities.
