Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hey there! I'm Shellie-a sweet lil 2 year old shih tzu-terrier mix. If you are looking
for a dog to sit in your lap, wear funny sweaters, and snore with you in bed, I'm your girl.
I do great on car rides and love lounging around while getting belly rubs. I also walk
great on a leash and enjoy going on strolls around the neighborhood, I have been to
adoption events and have been a sweetheart to every person and child I have met.
My foster home consists of a few dogs right around my size, and we all get along great.
Sometimes I think I'm bigger than I am so when meeting new dogs much larger than me,
I get a little attitude. It goes away quickly when I realize they just want to play.
I'm pretty much the perfect little package and would make anyone smile after having
a crummy day at work. Oh! Did I mention my underbite-it's pretty adorable!
I'm just patiently waiting to find my forever home. Is that 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.

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.
