Zinnia is a wispy haired 4 mo old terrier/shepherd mix. Her and sister Maude were at the Memphis Animal Shelter when we answered a request for help with moving some of the shelter pets.
Zinnia is the more outgoing of the two and also a little heavier, she LOVES food!
Both of these girls will go into their crate (together) will come and go from the doggie door and will engage in play with any of the other foster dogs. They are slightly timid but will certainly adapt quickly in their new homes. It would be great if they could be placed with another receptive mentor dog since they are accustomed to sharing space with another pet.
Zinnia is spayed and microchipped, her adoption fee is $150
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.
