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.

Story
Meet Diesel! Diesel was born in the middle of April making him around 8 weeks old. He is currently around 10 pounds so we don't think he will be a huge dog although we can't be sure. As far as his breed he has the colors of a rottie and the face of a chihuahua so it's anyone's guess! All we know is he's 100% adorable! Diesel is absolutely convinced he's the king of the castle, the ruler of the yard, and the boss of everyone he meets. The only problem? The second somebody challenges his authority, he remembers he's actually just a baby and would very much like some reassurance. This little guy has a big personality packed into a small package. He's sassy, opinionated, and always ready to let everyone know exactly how he feels. Thankfully, its all bark and no bite Diesel is as sweet as they come and would much rather be snuggled up in your lap than causing any real trouble. When he's not busy pretending to run the household, you'll find him soaking up affection, demanding cuddles, and charming everyone around him with his goofy antics. He's the kind of puppy that keeps you laughing with his dramatic little moments and then melts your heart by curling up beside you for a nap. Diesel is currently working on his potty training and learning all the important puppy life skills. With a little patience and consistency, hes going to make an amazing companion. If youre looking for a puppy with confidence, comedy, and plenty of cuddles, Diesel is ready to claim his throne in your home. Just don't tell him he's not actually in charge. Big attitude. Soft heart. Professional snuggler!! Diesel is neutered, up to date on puppy shots and ready to find his family! Diesel is currently being fostered in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption. The adoption fee is $600 and that includes a health certificate and transport to New England.

Story
Meet Elena! Elena was born on March 22, 2026!! Elena currently weighs 21 pounds so we think she will be a large-extra large dog when full grown. We think she is a Great Dane mix. Poor Elena found herself at an overcrowded shelter with her siblings which is not a safe place to be! She was spotted there by one of our volunteers and she ended up in a wonderful foster home. From her foster mom: Elena has grown into a very loving confident pup. She was reserved at first but now she's ready for anything!! She is super sweet and very playful. She loves playing with her siblings. Elena is spayed, up to date on age appropriate shots, microchipped and ready to find her family! Elena is currently being fostered in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption. The adoption fee is $600 and that includes a health certificate and transport to New England.
