Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello, I'm a pocket-sized bundle of love known as Maple! I am a Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, but who really knows! ( mix who didn't have the easiest start in life, but you would never know it from my cuddly and friendly demeanor. Even though I'm pretty petite at 10 lbs, I get along great with other dogs of all sizes, as well as humans of all ages. Since I'm an adorable little nugget people just can't help picking me up, which works just fine for me since I love to snuggle! I go easily into my crate while my foster mom is at work and I know how to walk politely on a leash. I would love nothing more than a person or family of my very own to play with during the day and to cuddle up with at night. My foster mom says that I'm always making her laugh with my sweet and playful antics. If you're looking for a little dog with a HUGE personality, I'm the gal for 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.
