My story

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

Scruffy is a one to two year old 30 lb dog; possibly a corgi/shepherd mix. He has a little wiry hair on his face and a very soft coat. Scruffy is a happy playful dog. We took him to a student study break on the UT campus last week and he LOVED greeting all the students. Scruffy has been neutered, chipped and is heartworm neg. Scruffy was picked up as a stray in the Fayette county area and was destined for euthanasia. A volunteer posted his photo to some of the local rescues. She saved about five dogs just by getting their photos in the public eye. Scruffy's 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.
