Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Misty was found lost and afraid near the Memphis Zoo. A Good Samaritan Real Good Dog Rescue volunteer took her into her home while we look for the perfect forever home for this sweet girl. She is spayed, up to date on her shots, and heart worm negative. She's likely a 2-3 year old blue heeler mix with a beautiful coat who weighs less than 25 pounds.
Misty is a very timid and shy little girl, but once she warms up she's simply precious. She loves to be on the lap of someone she trusts where she can feel safe and warm. She is OK with some dogs, but larger or active dogs seem to intimidate her; she'd likely be best suited in a home where she's the one and only or perhaps with a single playmate.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard to allow her to run and play safely. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience. Her forever family will need to be patient at first, but that patience will pay off once this sweetheart realizes she truly is in her forever home.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
