Story
Hello! My name's Putter and I'm ready to be your new best friend! I am an American Bulldog/Retriever mix weighing around 70 lbs. They tell me I am a sweet, smart dog who is considered medium energy. My favorite things include cuddling, car rides, and long walks! I would prefer a home with no kids and could do well with the right dog who can respect my space. I love to play fetch, but sometimes I don't understand that I have to drop the ball to keep playing! . I know basic commands like sit, down, paw and I walk pretty well on a leash. I'm slow to warm up but once I know you, you'll have all my love forever! You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $375 All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.

Story
Josey is super smart, affectionate and high energy. We got her from a rescue last December and have found she needs to be monitored with our other dog . We don't think she was taught how to play. Given this we don't have the time or energy to make it work. She has never hurt our other dog as he is 120 lbs but plays super rough by jumping on him. She is super strong but obedient and really wants to please you. She loves being outside, loves chasing tennis balls - brings it right to you, and a very good walker though we use a pronged collar. She is a good traveler in the car and loves going into her cage. She is very sweet and a super happy young dog. We were told that she is around 2 at this point.

Story
Hank William Jr. (2 years old) was adopted by my husband in Garland, Texas. to become a service dog. My marine veteran husband, Bill, unexpectedly past away leaving Hank Jr. with only 6 weeks of service dog training specializing in PTSD and blindness. It would mean a lot to me to find a home that would fulfill his purpose in living by bringing so much love, joy, and happiness to a person/family. Hank is loving, energetic, and playful. He is a big strong baby that I am not physically capable of matching.

Story
·Intake Reason: Transfer from Louisiana·Weight: 51 lbs.Known with:·Cats: Unknown·Dogs: Has done great with multiple dogs at WCHS; Rough player·Kids: Unknown·Personality: Active; Will need a job to doHowdy, my name is Cain and I am a high-octane dude who likes to stay busy. I enjoy burning some energy by romping with pooch pals, but they need to understand and be tolerant of my rough playstyle. I also like to get out and about for a walk with humans because I love to explore. Since I am still a youngster, there are lots of things that are new to me so I would appreciate accompanying you on many adventures where I can meet new people, experience new things and see new places. I do realize, however, that to be a welcome community member I must learn manners and social skills, so it would be lovely if we could take some classes together before I am fully grown. Another thing I need to practice is something called house-training. I am a smart lad, so I am sure with a routine and plenty of praise and yummy treats when I use the outside facilities, that is a skillset I can master. I am friendly, playful and affectionate; basically, an all-around phenomenal pup. Puppies and dogs need love, exercise, mental stimulation and consistency to be healthy, happy and confident. It would be spectacular if I could have a job or two to help me stay active and keep my mind engaged. I might like to try my paw at canine sports, rally, dog parkour or nose work. I am hoping for a calm, confident and consistent owner who will provide patient and positive training to help me grow into the most magnificent dog ever. Make me part of your family and I promise to be a happy and faithful companion who will always be ready for work or playtime. #2

Story
·Intake Reason: Transfer from Louisiana·Weight: 50 lbs. Known with: ·Cats: Unknown ·Dogs: Has done great with multiple dogs at WCHS ·Kids: Unknown ·Personality: Initially shy with people. Really comes out of her shell when with other dogs. *WCHS recommends going to a home that already has another dogHello, my name is Cleo and I am as beautiful as Cleopatra, but not as uppity. I travelled from an over-crowded shelter in Louisiana with my brother to search for my new home in Wisconsin. I tend to be a bit under-confident so I was not sure about participating in such a big adventure, but with my brother at my side I mustered the courage and hopped aboard the transport. It is not required that I find a home with my brother but I do blossom when I am around other pooches so I would really like to have a canine sibling. I really enjoy playing with other pups, look to them to strengthen my resolve and am more comfortable in new situations when another dog is around. Although I am initially shy when I meet a new person, if they give me some time to relax and be at ease, I will warm up, become their buddy and have a good time. I do enjoy tasty morsels and they certainly help solidify a friendship, but don't be offended if I am shy about accepting them when we first meet. Once I am comfortable with someone, I rarely turn down a yummy treat and that will definitely help in our training sessions. Speaking of training, I would love to take some classes with you so I learn manners, social skills and some cues; that way I will understand what you would like me to do. I am still a youngster, so there are tons of things that are new to me; exploring new places, discovering novel items and meeting new people will help me greatly. It will be critical that you always make each new encounter a positive experience for me. I have heard that learning new skills can boost a girl's self-confidence so taking classes and participating in canine sports, rally, nose work or dog parkour would be lovely. I also know I have to practice something called house-training so I know proper potty behavior. A routine and lots of yummy treats and praise will go a long way to helping me master house-training when I use the outside facilities. I've already told you how I feel about other canines and I might even be open to sharing a house with a feline, but I do not have any experience with them; word in the kennel is that they are like a whole different species. Since I have not mastered manners just yet I should always be supervised around children and have plenty of appropriate things to chew on. It is important that children learn about respecting me, too, and treat me gently because I am fragile and sensitive. Raising a puppy is a big responsibility, a lot of work, and it may interrupt your sleep cycle for a bit, but a courteous and well-behaved dog is certainly worth the investment and I promise to be loyal, love you unconditionally and be a companion forever. I just know I will bring joy, happiness and laughter into your home and cannot wait to meet you; I know we can make a spectacular family.#2

Story
I came from a backyard breeder, kept in a crate most of the day. I can’t believe that I’m out and that I now have a chance at life….but I don’t know anything else than being crated. I’m learning to walk on leash, I check out what people call toys but have no idea what they are for. Some of them make funny noises and they scare me a little. Everything is a discovery and every day, I learn a little. Even with everything that has happened to me, I always have a big smile.

These pups are in Milwaukee, Wisconsin too!

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!
