My story

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

Bear is a Black Lab/Retriever mix, I think. He was surrendered due to family moving out of town and could not take him. He is 1 year 9 months old. Housebroken. Neutered. Up to date on shots. Loves people & gets along well with other dogs. He weighs about 58 lbs.

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.
