Story
Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Adira was found running at large in Memphis and was subsequently brought to a veterinary clinic by a kind MPD Officer. She was severely emaciated and scared. “Addie” as she has come to be known, quickly made herself at home at her Foster’s farm while she gained weight and recuperated. She is now around 65 pounds and estimated to be 2-3 years old. Addie loves to play ball, go on long walks through the woods, run, ride in cars, and snuggle. She is wonderful for baths, tolerates nail trims, and more than anything, just wants to be anywhere her human is. Although she is high energy when the opportunity presents itself, Addie would make a suitable apartment dog for someone who works from home. Her foster family works from home and she spends the entire workday snuggled on her bed beside her foster mom while she works. Addie is kennel trained, but she is a large dog and would not be suited for kenneling all day while family or individual works. Addie will do best with an active lifestyle and plenty of time for play. She does need to be the only dog as she is an alpha female and does not share her humans or her territory. Addie is deeply loyal and very protective. She is friendly to new people if her person is friendly to them. Once adopted she will travel via private transport Rescue Vet (transport cost is $160.00) to a location closest to you.

Story
Everyone meet Jax! This super sweet shy guy is one amazing pup with a huge heart. Jax is going to need someone very patient with him. He needs time to adjust. That’s all he needs is time and patience. He’s timid initially, but once warmed up, he steals the show and your heart at the same time. He would probably do better with someone with another dog. Jax is great with other dogs and puppies and they help him feel more comfortable which allows him to come out of his shell quicker. He loves walks and car rides!!! Jax has fostered with two of our fosters here in Memphis and they would both be happy to give you a little more information about him. We can’t wait to find him a wonderful home of his own so he can settle in and adjust for good. Once adopted, Jax will travel via RescueVet Transport to his new family. They travel each and every weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east, 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 amazing guy part of your family please follow the link below to our adoption application. Our turnaround time is typically less than 24 hours so please be prepared before you submit your application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Meet RYLIE! 🐾 This adorable girl has just come into the rescue and has stolen hearts all along the way. Her coat is very shiny, healthy and soft. Can you believe those adorable ears? Rylie is approximately 3 months maybe a little more and she is very petite. We believe she will be on the smaller side of mid-size dog. You can tell by her personality already that she is going to make someone a wonderful companion. She has the perfect energy one is looking for in a pup. Energy level – not too little and not too much. 💖 Personality: Goofy, playful and energetic. Rylie has a wonderful temperament and gets along great with her foster mates. She is fostering in a home in Memphis, TN and her foster mom would love to tell you all about her. RYLIE is going to be great family companion and he is ready to be your new best friend! 🏡 Ideal Home: RYLIE would do great in a family that has space to roam and explore, and maybe even another doggy sibling to make friends with. She would be fine with another dog or perfectly content to have all the attention to herself. If you are looking for a life-long companion and friend this little doll is perfect for you. If you’re ready to give RYLIE a lifetime of belly rubs, treats, and a cozy bed, please reach out! Let’s find this sweet pup the forever home she deserves. 🐶💕 Once adopted she will travel via the Rescue Transport to her new family. They travel each and every weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185.

Macy is a very smart, very sweet girl who grew up on the streets and is now finally learning what it is like to be safe and loved. She has been in a foster home for a year, and is now ready to find her forever home! She loves other dogs and is good with kids.

Story
Enzo is a 4 year old shepherd/mal mix. He loves children, he is house broken, and he is quite the cuddle bug. We are asking for a $100 re homing fee to try our best to make sure he goes to a home where he can get the love he deserves. The people we surrender him up to must have the following: 1. A yard for him to play in (he LOVES being outside. He will only sleep inside but wants to be outside during the day) 2. People who can spend quality time playing with him. He is high energy and LOVES children! 3. This needs to be his forever home. I can not express the guilt that I feel even having to do this. So please if you express interest know we would really love for him to go to a home where he will spend the r
