Story
Meet Hank. He is believed to be an American Bulldog mix (not to be confused with American Bully). He showed up on his foster’s porch after a bad thunderstorm, emaciated and scared. He is believed to be around 10 years old. With good nutrition he is starting to feel a bit better, and is showing his playful side. Hank will make a great, loyal companion. He loves attention and just needs a loving home to enjoy his golden years. Hank is up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and will be neutered once he gains a little more weight. He just loves car rides. If you think you and Hank could share a fun life together please text or email Teresa 2767910475. Rsimis2@gmail.com

Story
Introducing LARK, SCOUT & WILLOW!! These girls are part of a larger litter and their sibling will be posted separately. These sweet ones are only 4 weeks old and won’t be available for four more weeks. The rescue could not let these babies be born in a shelter. Mom and all pups are doing fine. Mom is already spoken for and will be spayed and welcomed into her new home as soon as all mom duties are done. Best breed guess is a perfect concoction of bulldog/boxer. These babies are just everything puppy. Happy, snuggly, loves attention, full of energy and love lots of naps. They are fostering in Memphis, TN where they are learning all kinds of puppy socialization skills. They are going to grow up to make wonderful family companions. Once adopted they will travel via private transport (transport cost is $150.00) to a location closest to you. If you would like to make one (or two) of these adorable pups part of your family please follow the link below to our application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
Ice is about 2 yo and 70 ish lbs, he is a loving boy that just wants to be a lap dog, he loves to cuddle and be close. Ice is good with some dogs, seems to be dog selective, generally, he’s been good with dogs that are bigger than him but any dog would have to be tested with him. He’d be a great “only” dog because he’d love to be the center of attention. Ice has swallowed a stuffed lobster before that had to be surgically removed so will have to be in a household where there aren’t small toys or stuffies laying around.

Story
Hear yee hear yee, this is princess Silvee but don't let the name fool you her life was more of a Cinderella story! Silvee is a unique girl who will need a special owner to spend her days with. She is fully crate and house trained. Loves to cuddle her human, swing on the porch, and chase birds. She would prefer to be an only child,furry or human and would love a house hold with 1 or 2 moms who are active(she is a great runner and a high jumper). She would consider having a dad but is iffy on it. She will need to meet you a few times before she picks her perfect human! Fenced yard is REQUIRED! Please contact For Pete's Sake Animal Rescue or email rsimis2@gmail.com if you think you are her perfect match.

Rigby was born April 15, 2020 to a dog in foster care. He is a smart boy who loves hiking, playing in creeks, chasing chickens, and lounging on the bed with his teenager. He has great housemanners and even knows how to work latch handles to let himself in/out. He is friendly with all neighborhood dogs and dogs he meets hiking, but prefers to be the king of his domain and hasnt wanted to be second notch to the older male dog that has been in the family for many years. He needs foster home or adoption urgently. Please consider this young hiking /walking/movie watching pup for your home!

Story
If you are interested in PATTON 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 adoptionteam1.woofriver@gmail.com Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached. PATTON is a precious pup whose presence in your life will make you feel as the luckiest person around. He currently lives with his sibling PRESTON, also part of Woof River Rescue, and many resident dogs. These sweet little nuggets are a charming duo, rumbling and tumbling around the backyard, romping until they decide it’s time to curl up together for a snooze. PATTON adores attention from people, and, luckily for him, gets plenty of it with his irresistible charm. He loves car rides and is sure to be a crowd favorite any and everywhere he goes. PATTON is truly a lover of everyone he meets, so introductions to your family will be harmonious. He’s an angel while in his crate and is well ahead of the curve for house breaking for puppies his age. Puppies as adorable as PATTON and PRESTON are rare, so apply today to make him a part of your forever family!

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!!
