Story
To adopt please fill out an adoption Application  Ginger is an 18 month old female lab mix who was rescued as a stray in Memphis. Gentle, sweet and friendly; a little shy at first with strangers but warms up quickly. Good with other dogs and living with 2 other dogs in her foster home. Not cat tested. No history with kids. Very active outside, still has a lot of puppy left in her.  Settles down quickly inside, quiet and well-mannered, good house manners. Affectionate with her people and loves to cuddle. Crate trained and housebroken. Initially, Ginger was somewhat food aggressive with the other dogs but with correction she’s pretty much abandoned that behavior; however, she does prefer to eat her food in the crate. Uses the doggy door. Obeys basic commands.  Good on a leash, rides great in the car.  Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots. When rescued, it was evident that Ginger had recently had puppies but she’s since been spayed. Weighs about 55 pounds.  AWESOME young lab mix will make a wonderful companion (and jogging partner!) for an active family who loves the breed.

Miley's basic bio is below, but we maintain more detailed information about each of our animals on our website, which is also always up to date with animals removed immediately once they are adopted. Please visit Miley's page on our site (https://www.muddypawsrescue.org/adoptable?dog=009449) to learn even more about Miley! Additionally, please note that the breed listed for Miley is just our best guess based on the dog's physical features. We cannot make any guarantees about the accuracy of our guesses. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VOLUME, WE ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO RESPOND TO INQUIRIES MADE USING THE 'ASK ABOUT ME' BUTTON. Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. Miley is an absolute sweetheart with a heart of gold. She’s taking on city life with confidence, curiosity, and a wagging tail, and she loves stopping to say hello to everyone she meets along the way. She has the kindest, most gentle disposition and truly seems to believe that every person she meets is already her friend. She’s the perfect mix of adventure buddy and cuddle bug. Miley adores her walks and is always happy to keep going, but the second you give her some scratches, she turns into a total love puddle. She’ll happily melt into your lap, soak up every ounce of affection, and look at you like you’re her whole world. Miley is incredibly smart and eager to please. She’s already learning “come, sit, and down” and responds best to praise, love, and positive attention. She’s doing great with crate time and will go in willingly when she’s ready for a nap or bedtime. She’s also working on potty training and showing all the signs that she’ll pick it up quickly (only accidents happened on day 1 with her). Miley is truly one of those dogs who makes everyone fall in love with her. Anyone lucky enough to welcome her into their home is getting a best friend for life.

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VOLUME, WE ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO RESPOND TO INQUIRIES MADE USING THE 'ASK ABOUT ME' BUTTON. Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. Hi! I’m Titus 🐾 I’m a 1-year-old pup with a big heart, a wiggly body, and lots of puppy energy. I’m still learning how to be the best boy I can be, so I’m hoping to find a patient, loving home that’s excited to grow with me. I’m working on my manners every day! I’m not fully potty trained yet, but I’m making progress with routine and consistency. When I get really excited during playtime, I sometimes forget myself and nip a bit—oops! I’m learning better ways to express my enthusiasm and do great with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. Walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, even though I can pull on the leash sometimes (there’s just so much to see!). With practice, I’m already getting better. I have been a very good boy during bed times, going out for my last walk of the night and then sleep in my crate straight through the morning. When I’m not out exploring, you’ll usually find me living my best cozy life—lounging on the couch, chewing on my favorite toys, or snuggling up for a nice nap. I love being near my people and am happiest when I feel safe, loved, and included. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate young dog who’s full of potential and ready to learn, I might just be your guy. I promise to bring lots of love, laughs, and cuddles into your life. Can’t wait to meet you!

Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. Mr. Big (or Mister for short) is a total sweetheart of a puppy. He has the goofy, playful personality of a bigger dog even though he’s only 30 pounds. He is very loyal to the person who feeds him and just wants to be near you all the time, while still being friendly to strangers. This is a dog who sees with his nose so it’s important to let him sniff. More visual skills like climbing up stairs are a bit stressful for him but he is improving every day because he is very eager to please.

She is quick to give you her belly as she loves (and quietly insists on) scratches. She has not barked, only small little noises when she’s excited or wants something. She’s quietly chatty! Loves to nap … but she’s also been on some meds/ was recently spayed and is on the mend. She’s happy to take a walk at any time, and loves to meet people. Not super into toys (she mostly uses them as pillows) but likes a bully stick or chew.
