Story
*Heartworm Positive* Shadow is a beautiful 5 year old black lab with a big heart. He was rescued from the Memphis Animal Shelter in 2023 after being abandoned by his previous owner. He's a very loving boy and lives up to his namesake by always being by your side. He's great with kids, other dogs (with slight food aggression), and cats. He LOVES to cuddle and absolutely will take over the bed if you let him. I'm hoping to find him a home with a family who has more time to spend with him and give him the love he deserves.

Maddie and Sissy (Lisa-fostered in TN)'s Story Meet Maddie and Sissy! Maddie and Sissy are sisters!! The two tiny doxie/min pin mixes are as cute as they come!!! They are around 1 year old and weigh around 7 pounds each. They are just adorable girls! They were surrendered to the shelter and we found a wonderful foster home for the two together. Maddie and Sissy love each other and they also love other dogs. We really want to find them a home together. Both of these girls love to play. They are cautious around cats but are learning how to be respectful. They just get excited when one walks by! Sissy is more laid back than Maddie and more on the shy side. Together they are perfection! There are several dogs at their foster home and they are really enjoying the company! They love chew toys and love all the attention from their foster mom! Maddie and Sissy are up to date on shots, HW negative, microchipped and will be spayed on July 17th. They will be ready to travel after that! Maddie and Sissy are in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption. The adoption fee is $1000 and that includes a health certificate and transport to New England.

Story
Chief (Brooke-fostered in TN)'s Story Meet Chief! Chief was born on April 13 making him around 4 months old as of August 5th. He currently weighs around 12 pounds. Chief and his brother Sparky found themselves at a very overcrowded shelter. They were spotted by one of our volunteers and we moved heaven and earth to get them into a foster home where they are both thriving! From Chief's foster mom: Both boys - they absolutely love to cuddle and play , but at bed time they go into their kennel and put themself to bed . They are working and doing great on potty training . They get along great with big dogs and small dogs and kids . Chief is a bit more laid back than Sparky but that's because Sparky says he is smaller and he can't let Chief show him out during Puppy MMA practice . Chief has the cutest little hop when he is excited. Sparky on the other hand when he gets excited he trips over his own paws! They love a soft blanket to just curl up on . Even when it is hot they love to curl up on a blanket and lay in the sun . They love water!!! I have a kiddie pool and they will run and play in it and roll around in the water. Also if it is raining out - not storming - they will go and play in the rain!!! They love being outside. Chief is up to date on age appropriate shots, neutered, microchipped and ready to find his family!!!! Chief is in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption.
