My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mocha is probably about 9 years old and came into rescue with Beignet after their owner died. Mocha is a small apple head chihuahua. He is pretty reserved and quiet. He really depends on Beignet and looks for her. They are crated together. Mocha is neutered and was treated for heart worms. His adoption fee is $150

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.
