Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buddy is a very handsome three year old male coonhound mix who was found running loose in Overton Park before becoming one of our Real Good Dogs. He has been lucky enough to be with a foster mom who has given him lots of TLC, room to run and play, and made sure he learned his manners. Buddy P actually is a recent graduate of a 9-week obedience class -- Congrats Buddy!
Although he LOVES running outside -- chasing squirrels is his favorite pastime - he is also great in the house and perfectly house trained. His foster mom describes him as very playful and a bit goofy, but in a lovable sort of way. Buddy is a bit timid with new faces and places, but once he trusts you you will have a friend for life. He's also not great meeting new dogs, but as with new people and places, once he trusts them he's fine around other dogs. He has several pals he enjoys playing with in the dog park!
As a coonhound, he is pretty high energy and will need to have lots of open space (that's fenced in and secure!) in which he can run, roam and play safely. He is 39 pounds, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on his shots. His adoption fee is $150.
TA 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.
