Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Scully is a two to three year old border collie mix who was in the stray area at Memphis
Animal Shelter when a RGDR volunteer went to meet her. She weighs about 35 lbs.now but then, she looked pitiful. Scully had stretched out, overused breasts, hair loss
over most of her body and a lot of raw places on her skin. She had sarcoptic mange and poor nutritional status.
When the shelter employee opened her cage door to put a slip lead on her she reluctantly walked out of
the kennel but as soon as I spoke to her she leaned into my leg and did not want to be left behind. This sweet girl put
all her trust in me and there was just no way she was staying there. She was discharged without spay surgery because she was in such rough shape.
Scully voluntarily spends a lot of time in her kennel in foster care; she seems happy just to have a place to call her own.
She has a healthy appetite and has blossomed. After three revolution treatments her hair has mostly grown back.
She has been spayed. She is heartworm negative. She has two racing stripes! This is a great dog! 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.
