Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Indy is a one year old female JRT/shih tzu mix. She has a precious personality and she will grin at you, it's adorable. Indy came from the Corinth, MS area where she was found on a highway after being hit by a car. She was sitting up but not moving from the site. Luckily a vet tech spotted her and took her to work with her. Indy seemed to be doing well and was able to support her weight and walk normally but slowly. She was determined to be housetrained. She was able to travel to Memphis. Xrays show that her pelvis was broken. We are seeking funds to perform surgery that will enable her to move freely and not have pain later in life.
Indy is heartworm negative and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $250.
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.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
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.
