Story
Bear is a purebred professionally trained dog. We have had him Since he was a puppy. He’s loving and loyal and will be an amazing guard dog. He loves other dogs and is house trained and crate trained. He does best with male figures. Unfortunately, he continues to show aggression toward children; he has bitten children in the past and shows intention of doing so again during even the most careful interactions. We have children in our home and in the neighborhood and feel Bear needs a setting that will not place others at risk. If you feel you need a loyal, loving guard dog he may be the dog for you!

Story
Patches is energetic and needs an active person or family. He is lovable and playful. I have health issues and can not provide him with enough playtime and stimulation. I rescued him from a shelter about a year and a half ago. He will turn 2 in January. He is very well cared for and I have a few months of his monthly flea, tick and heartworm medicine to give to whomever adopts him. I would be happy to provide the name of his vet as well as give you his records. I just want him to be adopted by someone who will give him the love and attention he craves and deserves.

If you are interested in OLIVIA 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. This adorable girl is OLIVIA! She is a sweet, sweet girl who can be a little shy when you first meet her. However watching her personality bloom as she becomes comfortable with her new surroundings is incredibly rewarding. OLIVIA is perfectly content to spend a lazy day on her dog bed watching a movie with her person, or, if you’re in the mood for some exercise, OLIVIA is there and ready. She absolutely loves going for walks and is learning how to walk well on a leash. OLIVIA is absolutely fabulous with other dogs. She is exponentially happier and more confident with canine companionship, so she is only available to forever families who have at least one other resident dog. She will fill your heart with joy and your life with happy memories for many years to come.

Her $540 adoption fee covers her interstate health certificate and the cost of transport to the New England area. For an adoption application on OLIVIA 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
Bandit is a year and a half old terrier mix. He's a sweet social boy with some puppy energy to burn. He would be best in a home with no small children or small animals as he does act like he's trying to "herd" them and would do well with an active person that will help curb his energy into an activity. He has had some interactions with dogs here but is pretty indifferent after first meet, so he would need a meet with any potential canine companion. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 38 Age: 1yrs 5mths 3wks
