Story
We’re looking for a new home for Lady, our four-year-old Labrador Retriever. She’s in good health, spayed, housetrained, and all her shots are up to date. Plus, she’s microchipped for added safety. Sadly, due to some landlord restrictions, my mother-in-law could no longer keep her. For the last year, we tried integrating her with our own pets - a 2-year-old female Chow Chow and a 10-year-old male Yorkie. But, my Chow is no longer accepting her. She does great at the groomer with other dogs; no problems. Lady is fantastic with teenagers, adults, and our elderly grandmother. We are not sure how she would do with young children. We have a large crate, her bed, many toys, her preferred food, her bowls ready to go. We’re committed to caring for Lady for at least two months while we search for her perfect forever home. There’s no adoption fee. Our main goal is to find Lady a loving and caring home where she can truly flourish. If you think your home could be the one, please reach out.

Story
Meet Bruce, a sweet Brussels Griffon mix who just wants to be by your side! He is three years old, fully housebroken, up to date on shots, and neutered. He can be unpredictable around young children, so a home with older children would suit him best. He is unsure of other dogs at first, especially males, but once he’s comfortable, he gets along just fine. His owner is heartbroken to rehome him, but after starting a job with long hours, Bruce needs someone who can spend more time with him. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion, Bruce would love to be part of your family.

German Shepherd Dog

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adira was found running at large in Memphis and was subsequently brought to a veterinary clinic by a kind MPD Officer. She was severely emaciated and scared. “Addie” as she has come to be known, quickly made herself at home at her Foster’s farm while she gained weight and recuperated. She is now around 65 pounds and estimated to be 2-3 years old. Addie loves to play ball, go on long walks through the woods, run, ride in cars, and snuggle. She is wonderful for baths, tolerates nail trims, and more than anything, just wants to be anywhere her human is. Although she is high energy when the opportunity presents itself, Addie would make a suitable apartment dog for someone who works from home. Her foster family works from home and she spends the entire workday snuggled on her bed beside her foster mom while she works. Addie is kennel trained, but she is a large dog and would not be suited for kenneling all day while family or individual works. Addie will do best with an active lifestyle and plenty of time for play. She does need to be the only dog as she is an alpha female and does not share her humans or her territory. Addie is deeply loyal and very protective. She is friendly to new people if her person is friendly to them. Once adopted she will travel via private transport Rescue Vet (transport cost is $160.00) to a location closest to you.

Story
The following is a description of Hubert from his foster mom. Because, honestly who knows a pup better than the foster family! Hubert was found alone and scared on the interstate in Mississippi. When a nice lady stopped for him, he ran right to her. His foster family has had him vetted and neutered, and now they are treating his heartworms.  Hubert is about two years old. He is super cuddly, housebroken, crate-trained, and such a smart boy! He knows sit, stay, and down, and he will run to his crate and sit when you tell him to go to bed. He loves people and his toys, but he wants to chase the cat, and he is too high energy for the grumpy, elderly dogs in the home. So once Hubert has completed his heartworm treatment and is back to his active self, he hopes to have a forever home waiting for him. If you would like to make Hubert a part of your family please follow the link below to his adoption application https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
THIS GUY! Wow! He has come a LONG away since he's been in our care. He was scheduled for euthanasia simply because they were out of room. He and his brother Happy. So a Good Samaritan pulled them both and spared them from certain death. They have been amazing, becoming very social because they have been attending doggy daycare everyday and receiving hands in one on one professional training! Captain is approx 7-8 months old. He's shy at first around new things but warms up quickly. He is kennel trained and house trained and it goes without saying he's dog friendly since he attends doggy daycare! He's super easy to get along with just needs a patient family because he is a bit shy at first around new things. He's with Kip and Michele in their home in Memphis, Tn. Once an application has been submitted and approved Kip, who has been working with Captain one on one for several months, will speak to you and tell you all about him. Transport cost is an additional $185. If you would like to make Captain a part of your family Please follow the link below to our adoption application . https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9
