Story
This is Xylo... This older gentleman has been here in our shelter since July 2023, due to a housing issue. Xylo is 7+ years, and 66 lbs, he's a true shadow dog, wanting to be by your side & getting all the loving. This big guy knows sit, paw, and down. Xylo loves to please his person. He can be dog selective and is recommended to be the only pet. We are recommending he go to a home with no small children due to his strength and size.Update 4/27/24 Xylo had a suspicious growth removed last week, but thankfully the biopsy came back that it was benign (Not cancer)! Now he's back to acting like a puppy again and ready for his furever family. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Age: 10yrs 7mths 0wks

Story
So this pet was gifted to us. First time owner. I have six children and I am not financially stable in anyway. My friend gifted it to me, not knowing the responsibility I would need for this dog. Now don’t get me wrong. I love this dog. It’s just the fact that my kids are busy, go to school, have lives and I work and don’t have time for this dog. She’s big, likes to play with you, but my family and I are really busy. All of my kids are getting older and I’m done taking care of any children especially being a first time dog owner. This dog is very stubborn. This female dog is about 6 or 7 months old. In a new home I am looking for stabilization, joy, playfulness and people that have time for her. Also I live in a middle class home so I don’t have space for her. She is an XL dog but she listens when we I call her name and when she has to sit for a treat. And she’s potty trained. I don’t know about the shots, or vaccines. She is very sweet and loves attention.

GENT is a fantastic dog who is being cared for by one of our trusted rescue partners. GENT is NOT a Woof River dog. To apply for GENT please download an adoption application here Please email the completed application to John at jhayesp@gmail.com Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached. 🐾 Meet Gent – A True Southern Gentleman! 🐾 Handsome GENT is ready to leave his stray days behind and start the next chapter of his life—with a family of his very own! Rescued just a few months ago as a stray, GENT arrived with a long, heavily matted coat. After a much-needed grooming and veterinary care, this handsome poodle/doodle mix has blossomed into the happy, active, and lovable boy he was meant to be! GENT is as smart as he is handsome. He's highly intelligent and has wonderful manners. He walks beautifully on a leash, rides like a perfect gentleman in the car, and even takes his treats ever so gently. ❤️ He's a sensitive soul, too. Traffic and loud noises can make him uncomfortable, so he would love a patient, understanding person who will help him feel safe and secure as he adjusts to his new life. GENT has been fully vetted and neutered, and now all that's missing is YOU! He's looking for someone who will take him on walks, give him plenty of love, cherish his gentle nature, and remind him every day that he's finally home. GENT has done his time waiting. Now it's his turn to be someone's beloved companion. GENT is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations. His $550 adoption fee covers his interstate health certificate and the cost of transport to the New England area. For an adoption application on GENT click here Please email the completed application to jhayesp@gmail.com. He will reach out to you as soon as your application is processed. Thank you in advance for your patience. Like all of Woof River's dogs, GENT will be beginning his journey in Memphis, Tennessee where he will remain until adopted. Once adopted, some pups stay local in Memphis. Many others travel via one of our transport partners to their new forever homes. We use Pet Express Transport (https://petexpresstupelo.wordpress.com) for our Nashville, Knoxville and New England adoptions. Breed selection is done in conjunction with two local vets and is not to be considered a guarantee but rather a well-educated decision from well qualified staff. Please LIKE Woof River on Facebook! Thank you for choosing rescue!!

Story
Angel was a stray from the Vineland area along with her 8 week old puppy. She was likely simply dumped by her owner. She is a very smart, energetic young adult Malinois. She is sensitive and learns quickly. She is just about housebroken now. Angel will do better in a single pet home however she does love our tester dog Danny. They kennel together often by their choice but they are always fed separately. This breed is not for the faint of heart. Malinois are super intelligent and require a lot of exercise. Videos of amazing Malinois doing outstanding agility and obedience are shot after hundreds of hours of training. Angel does not have that type of drive and will excel as a family companion. She seems to love children and is not good around cats. Since she arrived here, she has spent many, many hours with the Director. He will screen any potential adopters to ensure a good fit. Angel has not shown any aggression towards humans and seems to really like children. She does look a little crazy when she is in the kennel building and strangers come in, but she is very calmn and loving in a home environment. Don't let her activity level in the kennel fool you. If she is not in her kennel when you come in, ask the staff because she has office privileges upstairs and may be with the Director in his office. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Age: 3yrs 3mths 0wks
