Vinny was completely vetted on 10/31/22 and is microchipped. He needs to be the only pet as he is not good with other dogs and cats. He weighed 60 lbs. at the time of vetting. He came to us from an abusive situation where he was starved. He is friendly with adults but probably not good with kids. Please send your phone number to learn more about Vinny.April 26, 2024, 9:56 pm

If you are interested in FINN 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 adoptionteam4.woofriver@gmail.com Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached.

FINN is just as kind with dogs as he is with people. He absolutely adores them and is the kind of dog who can fit into any pack.

He rides well in the car and minds his manners when in public. He is truly an all around wonderful dog. FINN knows to only chew on his things, has never pottied in the house and is well behaved in his crate when his foster mom isn’t home. He is an affectionate, well mannered, loyal dog who will be a great addition to any household. FINN’s furever family is going to be tremendously lucky to call this incredible boy their own!

For an adoption application on FINN 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!

Story
Meet Dave! Dave is a 3 yr old, 39lb, Male Staffordshire Terrier Mix Dave is currently located in South Texas and will be transported to the East Coast. Hi. My name is Dave also known as One-Eyed Dave, Mr. Dave, or Mr. Floof. I’m an awesome, severely handsome pittie mix, and I’m the ultimate guy…once you get to know me. I have lots of energy and am the sweetest, goodest boy. I want to find a patient family that can give me time to trust them and get comfortable in my new home. When my foster mom came for me, I was at Animal Control, full of heart worms, and not sure if I would make it out of there. She didn’t know if I had been on the streets for a really long time or if I was abused and neglected by a previous owner. I got rid of the heart worms, and I’m one happy guy today! I love my foster siblings - I’m the smallest one in our pack of 4. We have a good time together, especially out in the yard. I think I am king of the yard, and run around barking each time I get let out. I do enjoy romping around with other dogs that are bigger than me…after I have been around them for a little while and feel comfortable with them. I really love rough housing with my toys, so I need to not be around cats or smaller dogs. I have a lot of energy and can be a total goofball sometimes. Once I’m comfortable, I do a lot of dancing and slapping my paws on the ground and on my foster parents. I show my teeth/smile because I get so excited. I’m kennel trained, and house/potty trained. Treats are LIFE, just FYI. And I always let my foster parents know how much I love them when I see them. I do like to growl and nip at new people because I still have fear from before. I love to bury my food in my bed and blankets for later probably because I used to not know when my next meal would be. I have gotten more used to baths and will even wag my tail now. I am not too fond of kids, so it’s best if I’m in a home with pre-teen or teenagers. I definitely need fur parents that are understanding that I will need lots of time and love to trust them. My blind eye and deaf ear on one side always have me on the lookout and uncomfortable for longer than usual with new situations. I can’t wait to meet you and learn new tricks, fetch all the toys, get some belly rubs, and give you all the love you could imagine! Our organization only adopts within the United States. Faith and Hope is a multi-state rescue with locations in Texas, Washington, Oregon, Maryland and Connecticut. All dogs are rescued from the state of Texas to and transported to our Washington, Oregon, Maryland and Connecticut locations with placement in their adoptive families. Our $400 adoption fee includes all core vaccinations (DHPP, rabies, spay/neuter, microchip) If interested in learning more, please email us at faithandhopeadoptions@gmail.com or fill out our online application. https://www.faithandhopefoundation.org/adoptionapp If interested in learning more about our adoptable dogs and adoption process, or our foster home program, please contact us at above email. Due to the number of requests that we receive on our puppies and dogs, please be advised that all adoption applications are processed in the order received. Once we send you an application, your place in line does not get reserved until your application is returned to us.

Story
They call me Exuberant, Handsome and Sweet but you can choose a new name for me when we adopt each other. I don’t care what you call me, as long as you call me. I’m a happy dog who loves people more than anything else in the world. I’m a 4 year old Pitbull Lab (?) mix, with a 22” collar and am very big and strong. The Vet said I weigh 73 pounds. Don’t let that scare you because I am just a mushy ball of love. I like to let everyone know how happy I am to see them by twirling around and wagging my tail as fast as it will go. This is usually when they call me Exuberant. I like to have fun. Because I’m such a good boy, I’m allowed in the house and have good potty manners. I prefer being inside with people at night especially. You can hold the TV remote for us. Since I have a lot of energy and need exercise, your large fenced yard will be well-used. My foster peeps say I need a family, not a job. They know that I’m a quick learner and will be someone’s best dog ever with some training. Because I’m big and young at heart, my new humans should have some experience with dogs and be able to work with someone of my stature. I promise I will try to do everything you ask enthusiastically. Fortunately, my past dog life doesn’t include any physical abuse so I’m not afraid of people or other animals. I don’t like loud booming noises (fireworks or dynamite) or gunfire so I wouldn’t be a good hunting dog. Health wise, I am terrific; up to date on shots and tested negative for heartworms. Recently I was tricked into getting “tutored” and woke up with my bubbles missing. Foster peeps say it means I will get my forever home very soon! Maybe it’s yours!
