Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Little Miss Harper Lee, named for the famous Southern author, was discovered on her own on a cold Saturday afternoon in the parking lot of the Central Library. She clearly had been on her own in this freezing weather and had missed a few meals. Initially scared of the foster mom who spied her, Harper Lee demonstrated her intellectual curiosity when she saw the open car door and literally, 'captured' herself by jumping into the driver's side floorboard. Once there, she looked at Julie as if to say, TAKE ME HOME. And to a warm foster home went this little girl.
She is about 11 lbs. and 5 months old. Harper is long and low slung like a Corgi or Dachshund, has the snout of a Doxie and the broader forehead and coloration (sabling) and ears of a corgi. She most likely will be small when she is an adult, as she weighs about 11 lbs. now. Double it and she is still less than 25 lbs. at maturity.
Harper will be spayed, microchipped and given two of her three rounds of required puppy vaccines. Her adoptive family will be responsible for one set of her vaccines. If you want a young puppy who will be a small dog, Harper Lee is your girl.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. Since Harper is a baby, a family with a flexible schedule to help her complete her house training skills will be needed. 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.

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.
