Story

Hello there, my name is Betsy! I am a 10 year old, 46lb Shephard mix who was brought to CHA when a good Samaritan found me on the streets as a stray. I am an incredibly sweet and docile girl who is always happy to see my caretakers and meet new people. When I was brought to CHA I had to have most of my teeth removed, as the vets determined I had severe dental disease. Due to having only a few teeth left, I will need to eat wet dog food for the rest of my life. I don`t let those missing teeth stop me, though! I have a zeal for life, and I will do the cutest tippy-tappy dance when I`m excited. If you are looking for an older, gentle, happy-go-lucky dog, then please stop out and meet me today!

Maeve ~ COURTESY POST~

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 5 yrs 2 mos

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Maeve is a nearly 5 year old (in December) beautiful and intelligent purebred Sable German Shepherd with an impressive pedigree who is, unfortunately, seeking a new environment where she can thrive. Maeve was raised with our two children in a loving household and a big yard to exercise and explore in. She is very healthy, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, and never has accidents. Despite her sweet and affectionate nature, she has unfortunately become overly dominant in her current household, leading to tension with the other dogs. Although we believe she would never bite a human and especially our children we do worry about this behavior resulting in indirect harm if allowed to escalate. This is a very difficult decision for us to make, but we believe it is in Maeve's best interest to find her an only dog home where she can thrive. Maeve is a loyal and protective companion who loves spending time with her humans. She is well-trained and enjoys walking/running, being outside, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch. However, due to her alpha tendencies, she requires a home without other pets. Previous experience with German Shepherds may be beneficial for both Maeve and her future parents. We are hopeful to find the loving lower stress home Maeve deserves. This has been a heart wrenching decision for us that we would not have made if we did not feel it was in Maeve's best interest. She is a strong, beautiful, highly intelligent and loyal protector that we love fiercely and will miss dearly. Please contact Jarrod with any questions.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nine years ago, an 8-week-old puppy named Nala wiggled her way into my heart and home. From the start, she was a gentle soul with a playful spark—her favorite game quickly became fetch, and she would happily chase after toys with the energy of a puppy discovering the world. But as much as she loved to run and play, Nala’s true joy was found in cuddles. Whether it was curling up beside me on the couch or resting her head on my lap, she always knew how to make every moment feel special. Over the years, Nala has stayed healthy and strong, never having any physical illness. Her days are filled with relaxation, playtime, and snuggles—always eager to be close to the ones she loves. Now, Nala is looking for someone new to share her peaceful, loving nature with. She’s hoping to find someone with the time to enjoy lazy afternoons, cozy evenings, and plenty of cuddles. If you're ready for a loyal friend with a heart full of love, Nala is waiting to meet you.

ADIRI

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs 9 mos

Columbus, OH

Size

(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

Everyone meet Jax! This super sweet shy guy is one amazing pup with a huge heart. Jax is going to need someone very patient with him. He needs time to adjust. That’s all he needs is time and patience. He’s timid initially, but once warmed up, he steals the show and your heart at the same time. He would probably do better with someone with another dog. Jax is great with other dogs and puppies and they help him feel more comfortable which allows him to come out of his shell quicker. He loves walks and car rides!!! Jax has fostered with two of our fosters here in Memphis and they would both be happy to give you a little more information about him. We can’t wait to find him a wonderful home of his own so he can settle in and adjust for good. Once adopted, Jax will travel via RescueVet Transport to his new family. They travel each and every weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make this amazing guy part of your family please follow the link below to our adoption application. Our turnaround time is typically less than 24 hours so please be prepared before you submit your application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9
