Story
Inessa has LOST 2 homes due to no fault of her own. The first time she was adopted, she was the companion of an autistic child. Slept in the bed every night. Her human mom got married to a man who also had a female dog. They did not get along, so Inessa got returned to the rescue. Inessa loved her 2nd dad. Slept in the bed with him, took goofy pics together, had a dog brother. She was living the good life. However, life happens and her dad had to go to rehab. Inessa ended back at the rescue. Inessa is a great dog! House trained. Crate trained. She’s no trouble at all. She’s happy to do whatever you’re happy doing. She deserves to live out her life on a couch. She does not prefer to be around other female dogs, but may be able to have the right male doggie pal.

Meet Riddle: A Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold Riddle is a sweet, soulful dog who deserves a second chance at a loving home. Rescued from Memphis Animal Shelter just in time, Riddle was initially misunderstood due to his scars, with shelter staff fearing he had been involved in dog fighting. But after a temperament test, it was clear that Riddle is a gentle, shy boy who prefers to keep to himself and avoid conflict. Now between 7 and 8 years old, Riddle has undergone heartworm treatment and is in good health, ready for a quiet, loving home. He’s a total sweetheart who would love nothing more than to be a lap dog. His favorite spot is the loveseat, where he sneaks a few moments of relaxation before heading to his kennel. Though shy at first when meeting new people, Riddle quickly warms up and becomes your loyal best friend. Quiet and well-behaved, Riddle spends most of his day peacefully in his kennel, only getting excited when it’s time for his meals. With his soulful eyes and gentle demeanor, he’s a dog that will melt your heart. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who just wants to share love and cuddles, Riddle is the perfect match.

Honey is one of the smartest dogs we have ever met. She learns commands and tricks fast and is extremely athletic! We do think Honey would benefit greatly from consistent exercise although she doesn't need anything over-the-top. A good game of fetch and a short walk will get you a cuddly couch potato chewing on a bone. Have we mentioned her immense skill at eyeliner? Yeah, Honey brings it all!

Story
Hi, I’m Jack, and I might just be the most overlooked dog at the shelter. I arrived here as a homeless pup on September 3rd after being found as a stray. Throughout my stay, I`ve watched countless dogs come and go, finding homes or joining rescues, but I’ve kept my spirit strong and my tail wagging. I’m proud to say I’ve stayed healthy, I’m neutered, up to date on all my vaccines, and best of all—I’m heartworm negative!I love my time in the playgroups and cherish the attention from the dog walkers, especially on Wednesdays and Fridays when I get to stretch my legs and explore. Today was photo day, and although I`ve had my picture taken many times before, I made sure to be extra cooperative this time. I hope these new photos capture my personality and help me finally find my forever home. I’m just a good boy waiting for that special someone to see me. Could it be you?

Story
I must admit, my journey has been one of the strangest. I first became homeless back in August 2022, when I was impounded and taken to the Memphis Animal Services shelter. I spent about a month there before finding what I thought was my forever family. Despite being heartworm positive, I endured the treatment and went home with them. For around 2.5 years, I knew the comfort of a home until, sadly, I found myself homeless again. This time, I ended up at the West Memphis Animal Shelter. Even though I had a microchip, no one came looking for me.Now, I’m on the hunt for a new family who will cherish a well-mannered, easygoing senior dog. Did I mention that I’m 8 years, 2 months, and five days old? But don’t let my age fool you—I’ve regained my youthful spirit and am known for listening exceptionally well. The staff here loves me, and I’m ready to show that love back to anyone willing to give me a chance. If you’re considering adopting an older gentleman who will love you unconditionally for the rest of my days, look no further—I’m your guy.

Story
Meet Pauletta: A Strong and Sweet Survivor Pauletta is a striking fawn and white English Bulldog pit mix with a heart as big as her muscles. At around 6 to 7 years old and weighing about 60 lbs, Pauletta is as strong as an ox—she’s got the power of a linebacker and could easily pull a grown man off his feet! Even a pinch collar doesn’t slow her down. Despite her strength, Pauletta is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She adores massages and will happily relax by your side when given some love and attention. Pauletta’s story is one of resilience. She was confiscated as part of a cruelty case when she was just about a year old, but that hasn’t dimmed her spirit. Now, she’s ready for a forever home where she can be safe and loved. Because of her strong personality, Pauletta isn’t great with other dogs. She tends to be a bit of a bully, nudging them around as if to challenge them, so she’s best suited for a home where she can be the only pet. Due to her strength and temperament, she should be exercised in a backyard rather than on the street. If you’re looking for a strong, loving companion who has overcome adversity and is ready to be your loyal sidekick, Pauletta is your girl!

Hey, There-my name is Watson but my nickname should be Mr. Playful. I LOVE everyone I meet. Person-dog-cat- whatever…I’m going to follow you around and ask for all the pets! My favorite activities include chasing a ball around the backyard and going for walks with my foster dad. I’m one of the friendliest dogs in the rescue so I always get invited to all their fun events. I’m not only a master on a leash but also do great on car rides & in my kennel. I may be playful but I know how to read a room and when to chill. We asked my foster dad for a list of things about me- he did a pretty good job! He loves to share your pillow at night (or try to take it all) He chases his tail like a tornado. Gives you little love sniffs to the face. Rolls over on top of you for belly rubs. Like to lay against your legs while napping. Peeks his head in the shower and wants to lick your wet legs. Follows you everywhere. At ALL TIMES. He gives good hugs. I can’t think of one reason that would make you not fill an application out for me unless you hate fun.
