My story

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

Charlie is a four year old charcoal gray male shih tzu surrendered by his owner. He is a sweet little guy who weighs 14 lbs. Charlie was not welcome inside the house when his owner moved in with a relative. We don't understand because he is happy and affectionate.Charlie loves to sit with his person and sleeps all night in the bed cuddled close. charlie gets along well with all the dogs in his foster home, but prefers dogs his own size. He has been neutered and fully vetted, he's heartworm neg and microchipped. Charlie's adoption fee is $200..

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.
