For an adoption application on SAMMI 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
Jax is a German Shepard and Mountain Cur mix. He was 1 on 12/13/22. He needs his 1-year shots and checkup in April, When he was a puppy, he played with other dogs and people. As he grew older, he became very reactive. He is fine with our family and pets in our house but that is it. He needs to be trained by a specialist. I am on a fixed income and can;t afford it. His mother was 55#, his dad was about 70# and he is in the 90 to 100 bracket. I wasn’t knowledgeable enough when I received him as a gift from my daughters and he is too much for me to handle. He is a big ole baby to me, plays with me and lays on my lap. He follows me everywhere..loves to play catch and chew on his toys. He is crate trained but only used when we leave the house or feeding time. He used to chew on a lot of things that wasn’t ok but he is growing out of it. I have extra collar, leash, retractable leash, toys and a bowl. I still have food to get you started.

Story
Midnight is a sweet boy and very interested in humans but needs to know he can trust you before he will warm up to you. He has not spent a lot of time indoors and is still learning his house manners. He loves walks and every day he is getting better on a leash. He is learning how to play fetch and loves playing outside with humans. He has not spent a lot of time with new dogs or children, so we are unable to say if he would do well with siblings however, he is a fast learner and he should do fine with children with dog experience. He is smart and will need to be leashed or be in a secured yard, he has gone for a stroll or two with his previous owner. Midnight is currently unaltered and will not be available for adoption until his neutering has been completed. Until then we are accepting applications and scheduling meet and greets.

Erris is a medium sized (50lbs), docile, Shiba Inu/German Shepard mix. He is vaccinated (with proof) and neutered. He is a sweet dog who is always looking to please and spend quality time with his owner. He enjoys going outside, walking, hiking, and being active. Erris is very food motivated. Erris knows how to sit, lay down (down), hand you his paw (paw), and go to his bed on command. At a young age, Erris was placed into obedience classes at Petco and has certificates. Erris would enjoy a home with a yard or with someone who enjoys the outdoors. Erris is good with other dogs and older children. His interactions with younger children and animals are unknown because he has never met any.

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. If you would like to make this wonderful girl part of your family please follow the link below to our application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
This guy is a mystery. Oooh La la eyes! He's a very attractive mix. We can see there's definitely German Shepard, his hind legs confirm that the mother was indeed that. The tail is long and the walk is Shepard. He's a big boy and highly intelligent his looks are rather intimidating as he seems to understand everything you say. Then he shows he's as sweet as can be and just wants to win your heart over. That puppy play and bark are just adorable and in an instant can melt you, he doesn't understand his size and tries to play with our toy size dog. He's potty pad trained and is learning quickly to go outside. His favorite activities are running with his toys outside and trying to engage the other dogs or anyone he meets to play tug of war with him. We meet him in a farm environment and didn't seem intimidated with horses or goats. He does however love to run so be prepared to have an active lifestyle of running or hiking. Intercepting frisbees, Maybe even swimming will be in his future. So room to roam and a bigger living space is key. He will definitely need training and interactions early in life to become a fine tuned dog. This guy will be your ride or die, a buddy forever, companion for years to come. His loyalty will be unmatched as a family member. Your life will never be boring with him by your side. He is current on all preventatives, microchipped, rabies, current vaccines, dewormed, has his bordatella as well. His neuter's required by a certain age and is covered at one of our rescue vets. There is a contract in force for this. If you chose your vet we will reimburse you 100.00 upon proof that it has been done. His adoption fee is $550 When applying please fill out all required information with asterisks otherwise it will bounce out your form.
