My story

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

If you are interested in ELVIS, or in adopting a pup in general, the first step is an adoption application.
Download an adoption application here
Please email the completed application to kerri.woofriver@gmail.com
Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached.

ELVIS and siblings were born in an animal shelter the evening of 2/12/17. At just a 2 days of age, these babies and their mommy traveled to the most amazing foster home you can possibly imagine! Every human in the foster home showered the whole doggy family with endless care and affection. Most importantly, they received the immeasurable physical and mental benefits that only come from being raised by their mom.
At 7 weeks of age they left mommy and traveled to individual foster homes for more one-on-one attention. All the foster parents say these babies are well adjusted, loving, fun, and way ahead of the potty training curve for pups their age (thanks to living with their mommy). ELVIS and siblings have all been socialized with children and taught manners by multiple adult dogs. Like all happy pups, these siblings enjoy play time. That being said, this crew is more snuggly and laid back than hyper. They are going to make great additions to any family looking for a big, cuddly new family member.

ELVIS will be microchipped and vaccinated as many times as age will allow before arriving to his forever home.
His $450 adoption fee includes his interstate health certificate and the cost of his transport after he is adopted.

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. Thank you for your patience.


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.
