Story
Saved from a trailer park mud hole and 18 wheeler traffic, this sweet soft furred puppy has already been adopted once by a Venezuelan couple. They adored her but like most young college students, they decided they did not have the time for her. It lasted less than two weeks. But the experience was very beneficial for Smoothie. She adapted quickly to their dog training techniques. She does tricks for treats, walks well on a leash and makes an excellent bed buddy. Can you be the one to spoil her rotten and take shopping and to the park?

Or, how about these Akitas in cities near Memphis, Tennessee

Story
Meet Saber! She is a gorgeous, shy Akita Mix around 1-2 yrs old. She does go out in a doggie play group and the other dogs really help her to come out of her shell. Saber walks great on leash but will immediately go to the ground in a lay down position if she feels scared. Saber could use a special adopter with patience that will help her to become a more confident dog. The Shelter staff is very fond of her and would love to see her go in a home to the right adopter. If you would like more info or to schedule a meet and greet, please contact the shelter at 662-393-5857. *All animals are spayed/neutered prior to being released to an approved

Story
Named for his constant grin and tail wags, Felix is a super sweet boy who looks just like a Dingo; he could have some husky in him. The vet thinks he is about 1 year old. He weighs 50 lbs. He is now neutered, vaccinated, and house trained, has learned his new name, and the word “No.” He responds to whistling and “come” with moderate consistency. He is very friendly to other dogs and humans of all ages. He does not give kisses, ever, but loves to get hugs, snuggles, and scritches. He LOVES to run and play. He has a lot of energy (and endurance!), but isn’t hyperactive. He does well on a leash when he is walked solo, but if other dogs are around he just tries to run to greet and play with them. He especially loves rough-and-tumble wrestling, chase, and tug. He is totally happy being at the bottom of the pecking order here at my house and tolerates being herded and bossed around by one of my dogs, Raza. Surprisingly, he is very tolerant of her putting him in his place! If he isn’t playing with one or more of the other pups, he likes to get pets, nap, and keep me company. He is heartworm positive and will be treated soon. His adoption fee is $200 After reading this pet's info, if you are still interested in adopting, please fill out the online adoption application found at realgooddogrescue.com The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience and own their own home.

Story
Meet Jack Fostering in Tennessee Here's the link to our adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/201317338010137 This handsome devil is Jack. Jack’s person was deployed, and no one would take his dogs and care for them while deployed. We were asked if we could take them and find them new homes. We said of course. Jack is a happy guy that loves life. He still likes to run in the yard and have a good time. He does like to play fetch, but sometimes choose to keep his toy instead of bringing it back. He is a lover and loves all the attention he can get. He doesn’t meet a stranger; our volunteer was able to get great pictures after just having met him. Jack is crate and house trained and has pretty good house manners. If you would like to add this older gentleman to your family, use the link below to apply.

Our fosters and adoption coordinators are the backbone of what we do. Our fosters work tirelessly to integrate our rescue animals into their home, so that we can provide as much information to potential adopters as possible. In addition, our coordinators offer as much information regarding the medical and behavioral and personality characteristics as is known to our organization. Without them, and our extremely generous donors, we would not be able to save as many animals as we do every day. With each adoption, we operate a Pay It Forward program, whenever possible, to help other animals in our rescue and future animals in need. If you are interested in one of our animals, please complete an application. The application link can be found on our Petfinder homepage under the picture. You may also find our application on our website at www.petmatchmakerrescue.com under the Adopt page. If they are listed on our website, their adoptions have not been finalized yet. That does not mean that we have not received several applications, already. Please complete an application if you are interested and we will keep you apprised of their current status.

Story
We found Balto during a snowstorm in January and have been unable to locate his owner. He was not microchipped and without a collar when we found him, and also slightly underweight. We have been fostering him since and have learned that he is very sweet and loving. He is two years old and loves to play an go on walks, but he also enjoys cuddling up! We are looking for someone who can devote time and attention to him with room to let him roam and go on walks.
