Story
Meet Bacon! 🐾 He is 2 years old! He is super calm, sweet, and gentle! He is very friendly around our two cats and extremely easy around our two kids(baby & toddler) He is house trained, and knows quite a few commands. Bacon would do very well with someone who can be home quite often and give him a lot of attention and exercise! Plus he’s very cuddly 🥹 We rescued him from a hard life and he just needs a home who will give him all the love forever!❤️

Story
I am Cocoa, a 4 year old German Shepherd. I was brought into The Shelter in September of 2025 because I was not treated well by my previous family. I am very social and friendly; I like my belly rubbed and to play fetch- my favorite toy is a squeaky ball. I am very smart and learn quickly and have been working on some basic commands and walking on a leash here. I like playing with other dogs and have some friends here, but for some other dogs my energy can be a lot, although I am good about entertaining myself and backing off, if another dog asks for space. I will need to be in a home where I can have plenty of exercise and fresh air with someone that has experience with my breed. I am very strong and don't know I don't fit in your lap, so I would not do well in a home with children under 10 years old. Although I like other dogs and playing with them I would do best being the only dog in the house.

Story
Say hello to DINO! This bundle of joy came into the rescue and stole everyone’s heart immediately. His kind endearing eyes will make your heart melt. Dino was a puppy that was found by a wonderful person at the person’s place of employment. He fed Dino daily and allowed him to sleep in his car on his lunch breaks. Dino remained loyal and stayed around the place of work until they reached out for help from the rescue. To this day he loves cars and feels very safe from the outside cruel world inside of one. Dino has now been placed in a loving foster home and is learning to play wonderful with the foster’s big dogs and puppies that are fostering with him half his size. Dino is doing great in a crate and potty training. This guy catches on really quick. He is so appreciative of having a safe environment to thrive. He will lay on you or keep his head in your lap forever if you will allow. Personality: Dino is goofy, energetic, and playful! He does well with correction. Dino would be great in a home with another dog to keep showing the ropes of puppy life. He is soooooo ready to be your new best friend and would love a home where he can grow to be a wonderful life long family companion. Once adopted Dino will travel via the Rescue Transport to his new family. They travel each weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the northeast, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make this cutie part of your family, please follow the link below to our adoption application.

She is the first to welcome you home and last to leave your side. She has the perfect energy one is looking for in a dog. Dixie is approximately 5 months and practically out of all those time consuming puppy stages. 💖 Personality: Goofy, playful and energetic. Dixie has a wonderful temperament and gets along great with her foster mates. She is super smart and a fast learner. She will be up for learning any new tricks you might want to throw her way. She is fostering in a home in Memphis, TN and her foster mom would love to tell you all about her. Dixie is going to be great family companion and she is ready to be your new best friend! If you’re ready to give DIXIE a lifetime of belly rubs, treats, and a cozy bed, please reach out! Let’s find this sweet pup the forever home she soooo deserves. 🐶💕 Once adopted she will travel via the Rescue Transport to her new family.
