Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Real Good Dog’s leader went to the Memphis Animal Shelter to pull the 10 year old dog Dolce when she saw this little guy sitting alone in a small adoption cage. He looked so sweet, she couldn’t resist getting him as well.
Maxx is a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie. He’s a sweet and friendly guy. We’ll never know why his owner chose to put him in the shelter. Maxx was so happy for a car ride! He definitely likes the car. Maxx is housetrained, crate trained and quiet. He is loving and wants a lap. At 8 years old he has a lot of love to give for a long time. Maxx is a small (about 12#) male dog, about 8 years old, up-to-date on shots, heartworm negative, neutered, housetrained & Crate trained. AN ADOPTION FEE OF $150 IS REQUIRED FOR MAXX.
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.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
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.
