Story
Kai came to us as part of a cruelty investigation by ACPD and ACPO. He came to us starved, body score 1/9. He had a loving home for much of his life but fell on hard times when his owner died. Fortunately, with police intervention, he was rescued and came to our shelter for care and re-homing. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and fully vaccinated now. Kai is a good boy. Easy to be around, however, he is dog selective, so we recommend that he be the only dog in the home. We also recommend a home with no small children. Kai is pretty good on a leash and knows basic commands. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Age: 7yrs 6mths 0wks

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!

Story
Carter is a 4 year old male Pointer mix. He originally came to us from a hoarding situation in Galloway. He is a super sweet and friendly guy that just craves for your attention. While Carter gets along with other dogs during play he does have some possession issues with other dogs, so it is recommended he go to a home with no other pets or small children.Carter can easily go over a 4ft fence and would require a home that will leash walk him or have at least a 6ft fence.

Story
Bandit is about 11 months old and almost 40 lbs. 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 interaction 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: 7.8 Age: 1yrs 4mths 0wks

Story
This cutie is about 2.5 yrs and 17 lbs. He's an active, fun loving boy that would like to have a fenced yard to run & play in. He would like a quieter home with no small children (under the age of 10) as he's food motivated and can be nervous when adjusting to a new place. Once bonded he just wants to be your shadow! He would need a meet & greet if there will be another dog in the home as he is very active which can be frustrating towards some dogs. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brindle Age: 2yrs 9mths 3wks
