Story
I saved cole from Memphis animal services because he was about to be euthanized. I already have other animals and i just cant afford another dog, nor do i have the time to properly care for him anymore. Cole is an amazing dog, he is great with big and small dogs, as well as cats. He is off leash trained and knows sit and down. He loves to dances for food and loves to be loved on. Cole did come from a shelter very fearful so he would need a home that knows how to deal with scared dogs. Once he gets used to you he is your best friend and is always by your side wanting to play.

Story
We found Bruno wandering near a library in Cordova. His skin was in terrible condition and we noticed his legs were deformed. Since we’ve got him, we’ve been feeding him really good food and his legs are getting stronger. His skin condition is almost resolved. We have not taken him to the vet yet because of his skin. He is a sweet dog, good with my eight-year-old and our cats. Our little dogs will get in his cage and bark at him and that bothers him. But as long as they are playing in the yard, he is fine.

Story
Pusheen is an 8 year old beagle. She is very sweet, is well potty trained (she needs about 4 breaks a day), and likes to sleep on the floor next to your bed. She likes other dogs and cats but thrives in quieter environments. I am leaving the state for college early next year and can’t take her with me. I am looking for someone who can give her the love, care, and attention that she deserves. If interested, please text me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx .

Story
Skye is 3 and half years old. She has been a very sweet dog, with just some occasional resource guarding behavior issues. However, about a month ago, she had a boarding issue, and she heavily irritated her paws, causing them to be swollen with bacteria. This caused her to start chewing and licking them to make them worse. This has caused her to get aggressive with us because of the pain she has been in. We have been treating her with antibiotics, pain relievers, and anxiety medication, prescribed by a local Pet Hospital, for the last month, and even had her lab tested. Unfortunately, after countless vet visits, no matter what we try, she will not leave them alone, even though she has multiple cones to help prevent irritation. Due to job situations, my wife and I are no longer in the position to continue to give her the care and attention she needs, in order to heal properly. We would love for her to be accepted in a new home, that is able to accommodate her needs more suitably.
