Story
Meet Axel! Gets along with dogs. He lived with a Doberman, two cats, and a chicken (all indoor pets). Axel is fully vetted, including being neutered. Axel has been left alone. His mom is hospitalized and when she gets out, she won’t be able to care for him. He suffered a spinal injury (spine was bruised) when a big dog accidently stepped on him. He has healed now but he has a little limp. He is on a joint supplement daily. His spine is still healing and we expect the limp to heal. He is living in a foster home now but he is searching for his forever home. Axel’s adopter will have to be willing to keep him on his joint supplement. If you would like to be considered for adoption, please complete the adoption questionnaire on our website www.heartsofgoldpitrescue.com.

Story
If you are interested in SKIPPY 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 adoptionteam4.woofriver@gmail.com Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached. SKIPPY is one of the most gentle souls in all the universe. He has deep brown heart melting eyes that always seem to be in awe of the big bright beautiful world around him. A couple of his favorite things are cuddle time with his foster family and sunning in the backyard. SKIPPY currently lives in a foster home with many dogs. He is never pushy and has zero desire to be the boss. SKIPPY’s kind, unobtrusive nature will make it easy for him to get along with all resident animals in his forever home. However, SKIPPY would also be perfectly fine as the only pup in the house, so he’s an easy addition to the family. If you are lucky enough to have sweet SKIPPY take a piece of your heart into his paw, he will hold on to it forever! To see even more pictures of SKIPPY, please copy and paste the following link into your browser: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/76fl8xixj60rfhyw0b3bs/AHB_bHWP1rVPd5FePq2DZUE?rlkey=s96qez6fhllqlykv5nyoksi0t&st=8hhkalud&dl=0 SKIPPY is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations including 2 rounds of both the H3N2 and H3N8 canine influenza vaccinations. His local adoption fee is $340 For an adoption application on SKIPPY click here Please email the completed application to adoptionteam4.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. Please LIKE Woof River on Facebook! Thank you for choosing rescue!!

Story
Update: Prince, the Regal Chihuahua Prince is a sweet, little chihuahua with a heart as big as his royal name suggests. Despite his small stature, he has a regal air about him, often strutting around with a confident poise. His delicate features and gentle nature make him a beloved companion. Whether he's curled up on a cozy lap or exploring the great outdoors, Prince always brings joy to those around him. Poor little dog was lost for some time. He was reported as a stray hiding in a corner of someone's yard. They were kind enough to take him in and post him as needing help with a rescue or Humane Society. After 5 days in their care I showed up to inquire about him. They let me meet him and I got him to respond to me. They liked that and let me bring him into rescue. He went straight to one of my vets and we checked for a micro chip and purchased some flea meds for him. They were so kind they donated the funds to get him flea meds. He's in res use and I'm working getting him used to me and the other dogs here. He would be most comfortable as being the only dog. He's very scared right now but is slowly coming around. Needs someone very caring and careful with very small dogs. He is a typical Chihuahua after all!

Chico is easily the sweetest fun-loving dog ever. He is happy-go-lucky, he is extremely smart and is eager to please his human. He is about 8-10 years old and 13lbs. Chico loves to cuddle with his person. He knows sit, come, back, find “whatever you ask him”. Chico is house trained and crate trained. He recently had a dental. Chico is a good eater. He is polite and loves meeting new people. Chico was an only dog in his original setting, walked into his multi dog foster home and immediately became the cruise director. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes. His favorite foster sibling are the pretty larger females! Chico is crate trained and house trained. He sleeps with his foster mom or in his open crate – his choice. Chico loves lap time. The best home for Chico will have a secure fence. Kids over 10 and with excellent doggy manners would be okay. Another well temperamented dog would be fabulous. An excellent history of vet care for current or previous pets is required. Previous specific breed experience will be given preference. He is fully vetted including spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. His adoption fee is $300.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Chico here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2024, 11:47 am

Story
Meet Buster! Buster is an 11 pound 5-6 year old chihuahua mix. From his foster mom: Buster had a very tough beginning in life. Part of a hoarding situation, he was never allowed indoors no matter how hot or cold it might be outside. His two foster moms have been patient and loving and have let Buster learn how to trust. While he is still skittish around new people, his foster mom says he loves to crawl under the comforter with her and curl up in her legs. He sleeps in his crate without making a sound 8-10 hours a night. He doesn’t like the harness, but with a simple loop over his head he will walk for miles and miles. He becomes so attached, he doesn’t even need a leash, he stays close to his foster mom’s legs wherever she goes. Buster sleeps all day in his foster mom’s office while she works and he loves to follow her everywhere. At night he will snuggle on the couch. He now loves attention and will go anywhere – including in the car – his foster mom wants to take him. Buster is fine with men, too. He does attach to one person but he gets used to anyone else in the home. He is excellent with dogs of all ages and sizes and he pays no attention to cats. Just a generally happy guy. Buster is heartworm-negative and on heartworm prevention. He is neutered, up to date on all shots and microchipped. Buster is currently in New England. His adoption donation is $250 and includes his transport north from TN, vetting and health certificate. If you are interested in adopting one of our animals, please go to www.angelsamongusanimalrescue.org and fill out an online adoption application. Thank you!
