Story
Lorelai, the sweetest house hippo you’ll ever meet, is a shining example of resilience and the power of second chances. 💞 Pulled from Memphis Animal Services in September 2022 as part of a felony neglect case, Lorelai arrived at Kane's Mission - Dog Rescue weighing just 26 pounds and battling heartworm. Thanks to the incredible care of her foster family, she has made a full recovery and is now more than ready to find her forever home! At almost 4 years old and a plumb 60 lbs, Lorelai has left the chaos of puppyhood behind and comes with the comfort of a well-established temperament. She’s fully house-trained and a wonderfully well-behaved houseguest. Lorelai adores all people and is happiest lounging around the house or enjoying a stroll in the backyard. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she prefers canine friends who match her chill vibe and would love to be in a feline-free home. Despite the hardships she endured, Lorelai’s lively spirit and love for people have never wavered. She is a sweet, affectionate girl who’s ready to soak up all the love and give it right back. Lorelai is proof that love and care can transform lives. Open your heart to her, and you’ll discover a loyal, loving companion who will fill your home with joy and gratitude. She’s ready to start her happily-ever-after—could it be with you? 🐾❤️

Story
Shades is a velvety little nugget of a girl. She is super sweet and playful, once you gain her trust. Shades is a great dog! She is shy and the shelter is a very scary place for her, but once she warms up to you she is the most affectionate dog. She likes to sit on top of you! No personal space with this girl! She is a couch potato but will get the zoomies occasionally. She loves to run and play in the yard! She has sadly been euth listed, but has spent a great deal of time in the office, meeting everyone who comes into the shelter. She is about 2 years old & around 40lbs. We can only pull her with an approved foster or adopter. She will visit our trainer for an assessment once we are able to pull her. If you are interested in this teeny girl, please fill out an application.

Story
Kane is a very shy and sweet boy. He will need an adopter that is familiar with the breed and knows how to help him gain confidence. He is not a candidate for an adopter that hasn't had dogs in the past or any adopters with small children. He is crate and house trained for the most part. He does get nervous when you leave and sometimes has accidents in his crate. He is dog selective and would do best in a home with no other dogs. Kane is very smart and rings a bell on the door when he has to go outside to potty! He loves to nap on your lap and would make a great work from home buddy. He was abused when he was a little puppy and has an unusual bark. He's been through a lot and needs an adopter that will be patient while he adjusts to his new home.   Kane is up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, neutered , microchipped, dewormed and on flea/heartworm prevention.    Kane’s adoption fee is $200.     The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application.

Story
Edith is a 9-month-old spayed Pit Bull Terrier with a heart as warm and cozy as her favorite blanket nests. Despite her orthopedic challenges, Edith’s joyful and loving nature shines brightly. She’s ready to find a family who will cherish her sweet personality and provide the care she needs. Edith’s foster family was happy to share what makes her so beloved and special. Edith is a professional blanket-nester. She can’t sleep without a soft blankie and loves curling up by the fire, surrounded by cozy warmth and her favorite people. She is an affectionate companion. Edith has a heart full of love for everyone—dogs, humans, and even toys. She’ll happily dole out kisses and thrives on affection and companionship. Edith enjoys the company of social, gentle, and dainty dog friends and is also great with children. She’s a social butterfly with a gentle demeanor. Her foster family shares that Edith is both potty-trained and crate-trained, making her a great addition to any household. She walks easily on a leash and is an agreeable travel buddy, as long as she has her trusty blanket by her side. Edith is a smart girl who knows her basic commands like sit, come, and lay down. She’s eager to please and ready to continue learning with her new family.Edith has faced significant orthopedic challenges in her young life. Her right rear leg had a previous fracture healed as a malunion, resulting in a right luxating patella (kneecap popping out of place). While Edith uses this leg well, surgery may not be necessary at this time. In her left front leg, she has an angular limb deformity caused by premature growth plate closure and elbow joint incongruency (misaligned joint surfaces). A surgical consultation is strongly recommended to evaluate her options for potential corrective surgery. These injuries may result in long-term issues, including the potential for arthritis, which will require ongoing management. Future surgeries and treatments will be the responsibility of her adopter, so Edith’s medical needs should be carefully considered.Edith would thrive in a home that understands her medical needs and is committed to her care. She’s happiest in a cozy, loving environment where she can snuggle up with her people. A family with gentle, social dogs or kids to share her warmth and playfulness would be ideal If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion and are ready to help Edith thrive despite her challenges, she’ll fill your life with unconditiona
