Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Paddington was found wandering down a busy street in Midtown--no place for such an adorable little guy. A Good Samaritan got him to safety and contacted Director Lisa. Paddington walks well on lead and is a little shy when you meet him at first, but he warms up quickly.
While at today's adoption event, Paddington kept seeking out the men who attended the event, so we suspect his 'person' of origin was a guy.
Paddington is heartworm negative, neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and on preventives. He is a young adult and weighs about 15 lbs.
He has lovely soft black fur with some white/tan coloration on his muzzle. He offers readily for you to rub his belly and enjoyed sitting in the laps of several volunteers.
If you love the breed and want a devoted cuddle buddy, put an application in for Paddington today.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. 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.
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.
