My story

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

Scruffie is an approx 5 year old, 18 lb probable lhasa apso mix.
He was found as a stray. Here is what his foster mom says about him:
Hi, I’m Scruffy! I was found running through the streets alone and terrified. My hair was matted and long, and I was so afraid. After my “capture,” I was given a wonderful groom and received all my vet care. I am finishing heartworm treatment now. I am 6 years old. I have one micro eye that I can’t see out of, but it doesn’t slow me down and will never cause any problems. I have discovered that I love cuddles and pets with my favorite people. It takes me a while to warm up, but once we’re friends, I’ll love you forever. Toys are so fun, and I play tug of war with my 40 lb foster sister really well. Sometimes I win. I really LOVE cats, too! It’s kinda my obsession. I gaze lovingly at my cat foster sisters and play chase with the youngest. I’m a sassy guy, and I have no problem setting boundaries, telling you how I feel, and playing my heart out. I’m happy to cuddle as well as give you space and do my own thing. I take treats gently and am working hard on potty training. I’m a lot of fun and will bring lots of love, Laughter & a mix of sugar and spice to your life.

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.
