My story

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

Tiger is an approx four month old shepherd mix pup who weighs about 15 lbs. he will be a large adult. He has some very faint brindle stripes . This dog was dropped off on my porch in a box. He annoyed me to no end at first. He has gotten more and more attentive and seems to want to please me. I think this dog will be great in the right hands. He hasn’t been treated well in the past. His ribs were showing. He plays well with the other dogs but he is still touchy around food cause he wants all of it. His $200 adoption fee includes neuter, microchip and rabies.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an online adoption application and this starts our process. Locally, we meet the adopter after approving the application to make sure everyone is compatible. For a long distance application to be approved, we rely heavily on a history of past pet care as verified by a veterinarian. Our adoption agreement states that the animal will be treated as a family member, given all necessary wellness care and emergency care and that if you are no longer able to care for the pet, you will notify the director of Real Good Dog Rescue about your need to rehome the pet.

Go meet their pets

Unfortunately we no longer have weekly adoption events. In the event we schedule one, events are always posted on our website, realgooddogrescue.com and on the answering machine for our main phone number 901-276-7751 as well as our facebook page.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer rescue organization with NO physical facility. We depend on individuals to foster the dogs in their home. The rescue was started by a native Memphian who wanted to do as much as possible to reduce the number of fine pets euthanized annually at our high kill Memphis Animal Shelter. Over the past ten years, we have accepted a lot more found dogs and owner surrendered pets that never had to go to a shelter. We accept what we feel we can live with and find homes for. We can't do nearly enough until spay/neuter laws and responsible pet owners outnumber the irresponsible pet owners.
