My name is Torrie!

A gorgeous momma and her 3 babies came into rescue this past month with a wonderful foster in Memphis - mom is going through heartworm treatment but is still available on our site and you can see how gorgeous she is - no wonder her babies are stunning.

The puppies are approx 4 1/2 months old and are up to date on all vaccinations and ready to travel - we never guarantee house training status.

Torrie sure is happy to be getting good meals and cuddles. She had been camping outdoors with her sisters for a little too long, but she was luckily scooped up and taken in for vetting and a bath - and she is one thankful puppy! Torrie would do best with another dog in the household.

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You will be required to attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are experienced dog owners and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy so if you experience behavior issues you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE - Think long and hard before adopting a puppy - consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with - he cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he's older, puppy proofing your home will be necessary, puppies scratch and nip so if you have small children, can they handle this?? Training will be so important in this puppy's life, do you have the time??

Please consider purchasing this book before adopting.  Perfect Puppy in 7 Days - How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, Sophia Yin, DVM - it is an amazing book that we recommend very highly and have had amazing feedback on.
