My story

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

Please note that this dog is a work in progress. She came from a backyard breeder and had never lived inside a home. She is still working on housetraining and learning to be a PET. She does best with other receptive dogs she can follow.
Hello, I am Pepper the Apricot poodle. I am about 5 years old and I spent all of my life in a crate in a shed having babies for my owner. Despite this harsh existence, I hold no grudges and am very well socialized.
My foster mom says that I am EXCEPTIONAL…and she hugs me when she says it, so I think that is a good thing. I hug her right back. OH, and I smile…a lot now because life is REAL GOOD.
I LOVE my foster mom…she is so much fun because she gives me cool stuffed toys that I love to play with. I love the other doggies in my foster home and we play a lot!
One thing I need help learning to do better is walk on a leash. Can you help me do that? And I think I will really like riding in a car with my person, once I have more experience.
I am spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on preventives for fleas and heart worm. My adoption fee is $200.
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.

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.
