If you are interested in NOVA 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. NOVA is a smart, beautiful and wonderful soul. She wants nothing more than to please and be loved. Beautiful NOVA is the most perfect girl around! She is cuddly, sweet, goofy, well behaved, and always happy! NOVA loves other dogs of all ages and sizes and is a big fan of doggie daycare. She loves dogs so much, we feel she would be happiest in a home with at least one other canine friend. NOVA also loves to play with her toys and can entertain herself for hours on end. She is a clever, active girl who would do great with obedience or agility training to keep her bright mind and body in shape. With her happy personality and comical doggy antics, she is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face everyday. Sweet NOVA is potty trained, crate trained, and only chews on her toys. She does well in the car and would make an ideal traveling companion. She would also be a great companion on a restaurant patio for a little happy hour when the weather is nice . If your top 3 attributes in a new friend are smart, good-looking and affectionate, NOVA is the girl for you. She will bring so much light and warmth into her lucky forever family's life.

Her $540 adoption fee covers the cost of transport to the eastern TN area. For an adoption application on NOVA 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
Gemma is a German Shepherd/Anatolian Mix who has herding instincts, so she might not be suitable for homes with small animals or children under 12. She is a sweet, shy, and lovable dog who warms up to people with time. Once she does, she loves attention and will eagerly seek affection, especially enjoying chest scratches and offering her paw in return. Gemma is a smart girl who would thrive in a loving home with a cozy bed and a lap to call her own.

Story
Hi! I'm Frankie! I'm a 2-year-old German Shepard-Husky mix. I was found as a stray and brought to the rescue for my safety. We do not know how I do with cats or children as I am a stray, but the workers here would recommend kids 12 and up due to my high energy and probably no cats. They would also recommend either a single dog home for me or we would need to be very selective as I believe I'm dog selective at this time as well. I am up to date on my vaccines, spayed and will be microchipped before I leave the rescue to go to mmy furever home!

Story
Bruno is great with people of all ages. Though he has stayed with other dogs Bruno gets more dominant with them the longer he is with them so may be more suited to an only pet home. The family said Bruno is playful and is used to a home with few visitors. At photo time Bruno was very sweet and gentle when taking treats.
