Hello! My name is River, and I am a GORGEOUS German Shepherd boy who has overcome being a tripod by NEVER letting it slow me down! I LOVE to go for long walks, play tug of war, and romp in a fenced yard like the speedy boy I am! I am working so hard at learning that cars and small animals are not there for me to chase. I am great with kids and ready to be your loyal companion, a boy who loves to cuddle and will always greet you with excitement and love at the end of your day! Pretty great, right? But cats are a no-go for me, as I think they are there to chase and chase and chase! A house full of kids and other dogs...yep, I could fit right in! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a preadoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Tail wags and cuddles-River

If you are interested in ADDY or in adopting a pup in general, the first step is an adoption application. Download an adoption application here Please email the completed application to adoptionteam4.woofriver@gmail.com Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached.

Addy loves spending time with other dogs and plays beautifully with her furry friends.

For an adoption application on ADDY click here Please email the completed application to adoptionteam4.woofriver@gmail.com. It typically takes us around 5 BUSINESS DAYS to process an application. We will reach out to you as soon as your application is processed. Thank you in advance for your patience. All of our dogs start their journey in Memphis, Tennessee where they remain in loving foster families until they are 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. For our Midwest adopters, we have our own private transport. 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. Due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you request, complete, and submit an application before asking additional questions. We try very hard to include all pertinent information in our bios. We are excited to help you find your new family member. However, Woof River is 100% volunteer operated. We want to spend our time saving dogs and assisting those adopters who have taken the time to complete an application. Thank you for understanding. Please LIKE Woof River on Facebook! Thank you for choosing rescue!!

Story

Male - 1 year - 65 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - OHHi there! My name is Jace and I am a 1-year-old, 65 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I am currently crated when I am left home alone. I am a sweet boy with my foster parents, though it took me a while to warm up to them. I’ve spent most of my life in a kennel environment so living in a home with people was a new experience for me and I am very shy with new people. I have started seeking affection and enjoying pets from my foster parents and discovering how great it can be! I’ll need a patient, calm adopter to help me grow more comfortable around people. I love other animals and will require a confident canine sibling in my home to help show me the ropes! I have also been around cats without issue so could have kitty siblings also. I love toys and bones! Any kind of stuffy toy that I can gently carry around is great, and I will also play tug with other dogs with a rope! I ride well in the car and only pull slightly on lead. I take food gently and would love a family who will continue my socialization so that I can grow into my most confident self! I have been learning to come to my foster parents when they call my name and know what it means to be “time for bed”! I am a sweet boy who is ready to find my perfect adoptive family—could that be with you? Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogJace2025 For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org.

Story

Male - 5 years - 40 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - NYHi, I’m Ricardo. I’m a 5-year-old, 40 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I use my crate as a safe space mostly; I do not need to be shut in my crate when I am left home alone. I have coexisted well with adults, with a preference for women, though I am very shy and don’t seek much interaction. I will accept calm affection from my foster mom. Most of the time I am happy to people watch from afar. I will need someone willing to be patient as I come around to them and my surroundings in my new home; I had had no or minimal human contact prior to coming to Echo Dogs so this human world is all new to me and I have been trying hard to learn! I love having the company of other dogs and will require at least one confident canine companion to help guide me. I am wonderful about adjusting my play style to match that of the dog I am playing with and all around have good canine social skills. I am also gentle around cats and wouldn’t mind having feline siblings. I have been learning about these things called toys and they’re pretty fun! I especially like the plushy toys and benebones. I have been working hard on leash skills and can now join on quiet outings! I may get nervous at times and need gentle encouragement. I am still pretty uncomfortable with car rides so that is also a work in progress. I have learned to reliably come to my foster mom when she calls me. I currently take clomicalm to help me manage my anxiety. I am a gentle-natured boy who is ready to find a patient human ready to help me continue navigating this human world—could you be my human(s)?

Story

Female - 4 months - 18 lbs - Microchipped - Spay Contract - PAHello! My name is Hina and I am a 4-month-old, 18 lb female. My adoption is conditional on my adopter having me spayed at 6 months of age (September 2025). I am doing well with housetraining and am already crate-trained. I am still a puppy so I will need to be crated when I am left home alone. I actively seek affection from my family and will hop into their laps for snuggles! I can be scared of new people and will create space then approach when I’m ready, which is quickly with people who let me make the first move—then we can be great friends with lots of snuggles involved! I love to play with other dogs and would love having a confident, playful canine sibling or I could also do well by myself. I am playful with toys as well, especially balls or squeaky toys! I cannot go to a home with cats. I walk well on leash and ride well in the car. I have learned sit, come, leave it, and crate cues. I would love to continue learning and working on my socialization as I grow up! Could you be my family?

Story

Female - 18 months - 35 lbs - Microchipped - Spayed - NYHi there, my name is Lonnie! I am an 18-month-old, 35 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and am trustworthy being left home alone uncrated. I like to relax and watch out the windows. I am looking for a patient home as I am terrified of people and will do my best to avoid them. I have occasionally sought out attention from my foster mom after a few months together—it seems I did not have much exposure to humans prior to my arrival to Echo Dogs. A patient family who will work with me on my mistrust of humans with me and where there are not a lot of visitors would be ideal! I love other dogs and will need a confident canine companion in my home. I am respectful and love to play with my foster siblings. I will require a securely, physically fenced yard as I love to spend as much time outside as I can at my foster home! I have learned about chew toys and think they are great! I do have a strong prey drive so I cannot go to a home with cats. When I came to Echo Dogs, both of my front legs were broken due to a vehicle collision. I had several surgeries to repair the damage and can now move around comfortably and easily! As a result I am not a fan of cars—riding in them or just seeing them when out and about. Otherwise, I walk well on leash for my foster mom! Now that I am physically healed up, I am ready to start the search for a special family to call my own where I can continue to learn about the human world. Could that be with you?

Story

Female - 3.5 years - 60 lbs - Microchipped - Spayed - DEHi! My name is Vaquita and I am a 3.5-year-old, 60 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I can be left home alone uncrated, though I like to have a crate available to me as a safe space for when I become overwhelmed. I have done well with men, women, and older children with proper introductions. I prefer to meet people at my home, where I have been known to jump into the laps of new friends when they sit on our couch! I love to receive pets, cuddles, and to give kisses to my people; I am overall a super affectionate girl! I love toys, especially balls or rope toys, and am never far away from some kind of toy! I would love a family where I get daily play. I can easily clear a short fence so I either need a yard with a secure, tall fence or no fence where I’ll receive exclusively on-leash exercise. I have unfortunately not done well with other dogs and will need to be the only pet in my home. I show reactivity through barking and lunging when I see dogs from a distance. When I have been introduced to other dogs, I have postured and lunged even with proper introductions. I ride well in the car and would love to find a family dedicated to providing continued training so I could join you for adventures! My leash skills are a work in progress (although maybe I’d be a candidate for the Iditarod?), but I have learned how to sit, come, and roll over. I have also learned how to allow you to dry off my paws when they get muddy! Nail trims are a bit of a different story. I am a happy, smart girl who is ready to find my perfect adoptive family—are you my family? Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogVaquita For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org.
