My story

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

Hi, my name is Reuben! The nice people who rescued me from a not so great situation tell me that I am a lady killer. I dunno what that is about, since I LOVE people so much and wouldn't harm anything- especially ladies- they are my favorite! I am cautious and curious and learning to love life now that I am being cared for in such a comfy place- I even have my own soft bed! You should see my skills at head tilting- that really gets the ladies cooing. They tell me I am so handsome! I like to stick close to my human and make an excellent adventure partner. I love everything from walking around the neighborhood to (you guessed it) capturing Pokemon! I love to see people so excited and outside running around. When I am not helping a human, I am hanging out with my foster siblings. I do great with other dogs- they are teaching me that life is fun and to be enjoyed. After a long day of all this fun, I love to cuddle up and gaze adoringly into the eyes of the person providing me with a wonderful new life. I am excited to find my forever home and hope that maybe it is with you!

All of our pets start their journey in Memphis Tennessee where they remain in loving foster families until they are adopted.

In order to qualify for ALIVE’s program all of the following steps must be met: • You must be at least 24 years of age and be able to provide ALIVE with proof of age. • Any current pets must be up to date on vaccinations, and be spayed/neutered. Exceptions to this will only be considered if proof of a medical explanation is provided. • If you currently rent, you must provide a landlord’s phone number and a copy of your executed lease. • All members of the family living in the home where the animal will be placed must be interviewed. • Allow an ALIVE Rescue Memphis representative into your home for a visit to insure that your home is safe for the potential new dog or cat. • Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and proper care for a pet. •Currently, the requested donation to adopt a dog from ALIVE Rescue Memphis is $300.00. The $300.00 adoption fee includes transport to the Nashville area.

Our adoption application can be found at http://www.aliverescuememphis.org/adoptionapplication/

Due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you submit an application immediately to start the adoption process. We try very hard to include all pertinent information in our bios. We are excited to help you find your new family member. However, ALIVE Rescue Memphis is operated 100% by volunteers. We want to spend our time saving dogs and assisting those adopters who have taken the time to complete an application. Thank you for understanding.

Breed selection is done in conjunction with two local vets and is not to be considered a guarantee but rather a well educated decision from well qualified staff.
