Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ace is an approx 10year old either shih tzu or lhasa apso. He was found hanging out at the bike sculpture arch at Overton Park.
His microchip was a dead end, he could not be connected to his original adopter but he came from Memphis Animal Shelter.
ACe is a bit grumpy about getting a slip lead on but he LOVES to go for a walk and spend time outside. Im hoping as he gets more used to his environment I can
easily get a harness on him so we can walk. He is a very quiet dog and is fine being in the same home with other dogs. Ace has a real issue with anything that needs to happen on his face or head. He has had an ear hematoma and we have to sedate him for the vet to check his ears and eyes. His adoption fee is $200
After reading this pet's info, if you are still interested in adopting, please fill out the online adoption application found at realgooddogrescue.com
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 and own their own home.

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.

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.
