My story

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

Updated 3Aug25

🧡 Meet Stitch – The Goofy Gentleman with the Underbite Smile!
Breed: Medium Mixed Breed
Weight: 47 lbs
Status: Available for Adoption or Foster

Background
Stitch was rescued just in time from the euthanasia list at Memphis Animal Services after being surrendered in a cruelty case. Despite his rough start, this charming goofball is bursting with love, laughter, and a serious talent for stealing hearts (and maybe a sock or two).

Personality
Stitch is a playful, silly, and endlessly entertaining pup who loves to explore the yard and make people laugh with his big personality and that signature underbite. Whether he's rolling in the grass or sneaking in a sloppy kiss, Stitch brings joy wherever he goes.

He may not know many commands yet, but he’s a quick learner and eager to please. With a little guidance and a lot of love, he’ll quickly become your favorite sidekick.

Stitch is affectionate, curious about other dogs, and loves being part of the action. He’s ready for a home that appreciates his enthusiasm and gives him space to grow into the confident, happy dog he’s meant to be.

Ready to Make You Laugh (and Love!)
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who will brighten your days with goofy grins and tail wags, Stitch is your guy. He’s ready to trade shelter life for cozy naps, playtime, and his forever family.
