Hanna is a beautiful 26 lb spitz/spaniel mix who is one to two years old. She was found dragging a heavy chain around her neck. She spent over two months in a foster home only to be abused by a man in that home. Hanna comes to us with some trust issues. She is fostered with several other dogs that she has no issues with. Her human has given her a wide berth and not tried to force her to do anything she does not wish to do. She is slowly allowing hands on her and is happy to wear a slip lead, be walked and get in and out of the car. She is spayed but tested heartworm positive. She is on pretreatment meds so she can get full heartworm treatment. She was no problem at all for the vet and staff to spay. Her $200 adoption fee includes heartworm treatment.
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.
