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 .

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

Summer is a three year old 50 lb German shepherd mix who was found as a stray. Here is what her finder/foster mom says about her: she is the sweetest girl! Very gentle. Her favorite thing to do is cuddle! She loves to bury her face on me and loves her head/ears rubbed. She loves to play with my other dog. Loves to run! Doesn’t run off and comes when called. She knows how to sit, shake, and lay down. Has never pottied in the house! Ideal home would be someone who doesn’t keep her kenneled (I haven’t ever put her in it, so I’m not sure how she’ll react), someone who doesn’t mind dogs on the furniture as she loves to sleep next to me and cuddle on the couch, and someone who will be home often to give her lots of attention. Great with other dogs and kids! She is a very calm girl and deserves someone who will give her lots of attention! Summer has had her vetting updated and is heartworm positive. She is taking her premedication and will start heartworm treatment in early January.

Story

Cookie was abandoned by his homeless owner and left on the street. A neighborhood BYB picked him up. He was kept out in a small 4 foot pen and never allowed out. Cookie was heartworm positive. I assisted with his rescue and several other dogs on the property after reporting the person for her illegal operations. Cookie received heartworm treatment and is free from heartworms now. He's neutered and trained to do tricks for treats. Great dog, housebroken, loving and friendly to other dogs. I let him play with all my new Intakes. Great for a older gentleman who is retired and likes to go for walks. Cookie can also hike the trails with young females. He's very versatile.

Meet Lilibeth Currently fostering in Tennessee. (If not adopted by then she'll be moving to a New England foster on 9/24/22) Here's the link to our adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/201317338010137 Let us introduce you to Lilibeth and her gorgeous little flowers. These guys found themselves in need of a new place to land and we agreed to take them in. Lilibeth has done a wonderful job protecting, teaching and taking care of her sweet little babies. Most of her babies have found their forever homes, now it is her turn. Lilibeth is a very sweet girl that enjoys spending time with her family. She is a great medium size dog at 46 pounds. She follows her foster mom around the house frequently just to see what she is doing. Her favorite place to be is on the couch next to anyone getting love. She adores kids, and will follow them were ever they go. Lilibeth is house trained, crate trained and doing great at all her manners. She is fostering with several other dogs of various sizes and personalities. She seems to do best with the ones that are closer to her size and a little calmer and submissive. Big dogs with lots of energy make her anxious. Lilibeth also tends to want to be the boss. Here's the link to our adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/201317338010137 ANIMAL INFORMATION: Name: Lilibeth Breed: German Shepherd/Collie Mix Gender: Female DOB: 02/12/2020 Spayed/Neutered: Yes Vaccines: Current. Your pets must be current on vaccines. Heartworm: Negative and on prevention. Your pets must be on Heartworm prevention.

Cats: No. Other Small Animals: Unknown Children: Yes, has met middle age children and done well. She has not been tested with infants or toddlers. ADOPTION INFORMATION: We are a foster-based animal rescue and we thank you for your interest in one of our animals. Our fosters and adoption coordinators are the backbone of what we do. Our fosters work tirelessly to integrate our rescue animals into their home, so that we can provide as much information to potential adopters as possible. In addition, our coordinators offer as much information regarding the medical and behavioral and personality characteristics as is known to our organization. Without them, and our extremely generous donors, we would not be able to save as many animals as we do every day. With each adoption, we operate a Pay It Forward program, whenever possible, to help other animals in our rescue and future animals in need. If you are interested in one of our animals, please complete an application. The application link can be found on our Petfinder homepage under the picture. You may also find our application on our website at www.petmatchmakerrescue.com under the Adopt page. If they are listed on our website, their adoptions have not been finalized yet. That does not mean that we have not received several applications, already. Please complete an application if you are interested and we will keep you apprised of their current status. We are all volunteers that work full-time jobs, so please be patient with us. We will get back with you as quickly as possible. If you are interested in fostering for our organization, please complete an application. The application link can be found on our Petfinder homepage under the picture.

Story

Hi there! My name’s Quincey, and I’ve got a little confession to make—I’ve been a bit naughty this holiday season. You see, I got bored at home and wandered over to the neighbor’s house. I might’ve been a tiny bit destructive with some of their things... oops! What can I say? I didn’t have anything fun to play with at my house.Anyway, that’s how I ended up at the shelter. My owner decided to bring me here and abandon me after hours during the Thanksgiving holiday (caught on camera—whoops again!). The shelter staff found me running loose on the property the next morning. Oh, and my owner forgot I had a microchip, so it didn’t take long for my whole story to come out.Before all this, my owner had me DNA tested, and guess what? I’m a total continental mix! My results showed I’m 42.2% American Pit Bull Terrier, 17.2% Siberian Husky, 17.2% German Shepherd Dog, 16.6% Australian Cattle Dog, and 6.8% Great Dane. Pretty cool, right?Now let me tell you a bit about me. I’m a big, goofy dog who loves to play and keep busy. I’ve got an adorable face and a larger-than-life personality to match my mix of breeds. I just need a home where I can stay entertained, loved, and happy—no more boredom-induced adventures, I promise!If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion with a unique heritage and a whole lot of charm, come visit me. Let’s see if we’re a match. Wishing you Happy Holidays and a fantastic New Year!

Story

Hi there! I`m June, a fun-loving Shepherd/Husky mix with a soft beige and white coat and a heart full of curiosity. At about 1 to 1.5 years old, I’m still young and eager to explore the world (maybe a little too eager sometimes).My story started when I wandered up to a kind senior citizen’s home and decided to stay. She took care of me for three weeks, but because of my size and the chilly weather, she knew I needed a better chance at finding a forever home, so she brought me to this animal shelter on January 13, 2025.I might be a bit reserved when I meet new people, but give me a little time, and I’ll warm up to you with my sweet personality. Oh, and I have a bit of a mischievous streak—just yesterday, I found an open window and decided to test my inner adventurer! (Don’t worry, the staff caught me quickly thanks to my love of treats.)I’m here waiting for my forever family to find me. If you’re looking for a loyal, spirited companion, come visit me. Let’s see if we’re the perfect match! ??
