My story

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

An adoption application on ELVIS can be found at the following link: http://wp.me/P73YMd-1h
Please email the completed application to kerri.woofriver@gmail.com
Please submit an application AND do NOT also contact the shelter. You will be contacting both the adoption coordinator and the marketing director, who do not see each other's emails. This causes confusion.

ELVIS is everything you could ever want in a family dog. This big guy is just 7 months old, so you get all of the adorable and goofy aspects of a puppy without having go through the no bladder control and teething stages! ELVIS is as wonderful as he is handsome. He is eager to greet all people and he seems to adore every dog on the planet. He shares his foster home with a resident young adult lab and a grumpy senior lab. He gets along with both famously. He understands that the old guy doesn't want to play and leaves him alone. He is a great dog park and daycare pup.

ELVIS is also fantastic with his foster parents' 2 young boys. He will follow them anywhere they want to go. He is always up for ball in the backyard or hanging out while they are doing homework. He spends just as much time lounging on the couch or at his foster family's feet as he spends
playing and exploring. He is very smart and eager to please. He is a great car passenger and will be a great companion for camping, hiking, and road trips. He is calm in his crate while his family is at work and picked up on potty training really quickly. While he doesn't live with any cats, we are happy to introduce him to some if you have feline family members. We are sure this happy boy will be just fine with them. ELVIS is ready to bring his loving nature and handsome looks to his forever home. He is certain to make his forever family smile for many years to come.

ELVIS is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.
His $450 adoption fee includes interstate health certificate and transport to the Midwest.

An adoption application for ELVIS can be found at the following link: http://wp.me/P73YMd-1h
Please email the completed application to kerri.woofriver@gmail.com. It typically takes us around 5 BUSINESS DAYS to process an application. We will reach out to you as soon as your application is processed.

All of our dogs start their journey in Memphis, Tennessee where they remain in loving foster families until they are adopted. Once adopted, they travel via one of our transport partners to their new forever homes. We use Alpha Dog Pet Transport for our New England, Nashville, and Knoxville adoptions (https://alphadogtransport.com) and The Road Home Pet Transport for our Midwest adopters (https://www.facebook.com/roadhomepettransport).

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.

Due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you request, complete, and submit an application before asking additional questions. We try very hard to include all pertinent information in our bios. We are excited to help you find your new family member. However, Woof River is 100% volunteer operated. 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.
