Story
Updated: 08NOV24 Breed: Terrier, American Pit Bull / Retriever, Labrador (a.k.a. the Ultimate Cuddle Monster) Age: 3 years (still thinks he's a puppy) Weight: 42 lbs (but feels like 84 lbs when he's snuggling) Neutered: Yes, but his charm is still intact! Vaccination Status: Up to date with vaccinations (and ready to take on the world... or at least the backyard) **Temperament** Ezra is an adorably mischievous puppy who has mastered the art of being a professional snuggler and belly rub enthusiast. His playful spirit is contagious, and he's always ready to make you smile. His foster mom says he's one of the best dogs she has ever had! **Socialization** As the star of adoption events, Ezra has quickly become a canine celebrity. Currently residing in a foster home with multiple dogs, he thrives on social interaction and is the life of the puppy party, always eager to play and make new friends. **Training** Ezra is house trained and has great house manners. Although he still thinks the couch is a trampoline, he is crate trained and only sleeps there when he's tired of being the center of attention. His housetraining is solid, though there might be the occasional "oops moment that adds to his charm. **Background** Rescued from a local shelter in mid-2022, Ezra narrowly avoided the dreaded "euthanasia list, and he's grateful for every belly rub he receives. He's living the dream in his foster home, convinced he's the best thing since sliced bread. Ezra is longing for a forever home where he can share his love and joy. **Black Dog Syndrome** Ezra is a proud black dog, and while he embodies all the love and joy that any dog can bring, he is often overlooked due to the common phenomenon known as Black Dog Syndrome. Many people have a bias against black dogs, often attributing negative stereotypes to them. However, Ezra is proof that a dog's color does not determine their worth or personality. He is loving, playful, and eager to find a forever home where his unique charm can shine. **Notes** Ezra is the kind of dog that can turn a boring day into a belly-laughing adventure. Always ready to play, cuddle, and grace you with his irresistible puppy eyes, he knows just how to say, "How could you possibly resist me!?!

Status: Available for pre-adoption (serious inquiries only – no catfishing!) he is just waiting on one appt and will be 100% clear! **Background** Dyson’s adventure began when the Memphis Police Department met their match on November 14th. This big boy charmed the officers so much that they decided to take him for a joyride instead of taking him into custody. Who needs donuts when you can have a dog like Dyson? After being transferred to MAS (Memphis Animal Services), Team Memphis Rescue swooped in like superheroes to save the day! **Personality** Dyson is the quintessential gentle giant! Picture a big teddy bear that loves to play but also knows when to chill. So chill, in fact, you’d think he was taking THC, but nope—that’s just Dyson being his mellow self! He loves people and is eager to please, always trying to be the best boy he can be. Dyson particularly likes female dogs and has shown a gentle and friendly demeanor towards them, making him a great candidate for a multi-dog household. Despite his impressive size, Dyson doesn’t quite understand that he’s not a lap dog. He’ll happily try to curl up on your lap, convinced that he’s the perfect cuddle buddy! When he wants attention, he gently places his paw on your leg, a sweet and subtle way of saying, “Hey, don’t forget about me!” He’s like the friend who shows up to the party and knows how to keep it low-key. Dyson enjoys engaging with folks but respects personal space—no jumping in your face like an over-caffeinated puppy! He's got a special soft spot for puppies, proving that he’s a super gentle giant who’s ready to be the best big brother ever! **Stay Tuned!** Keep an eye out for more updates on Dyson's journey! Will he find his forever home? Will he become a social media sensation? Only time will tell! If you have any questions or need assistance in the meantime, feel free to reach out! Just remember: no catfishing—Dyson is the real deal!
