Story
Sassie is nervous in new situations and around new people but will warm up quickly once she feels safe. While she sometimes seems like a serious girl, she has a very silly and playful side. She likes to be near people she knows well and will snuggle up to give them hugs. She will do best in a home without young children since she can be nervous around loud noises or in overwhelming situations.

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 one of the calmest, kindest souls we have met. He is a loving boy who wants nothing more than to please his humans. He is always happy to see everyone and considers himself a world class snuggler. He soaks up affection like a sponge and has an endless supply of adoration to give in return. 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. FINN’s amazing disposition and confident nature make it easy to take him to all sorts of places. Plus, he loves adventure and is always up for some fun. 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!

His $440 adoption fee covers the cost of transport to the middle TN area 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!

These gorgeous boys are just bursting with puppy love, puppy kisses, puppy snuggles, and puppy playfulness. They adore people, other dogs, and kids. They have been socialized a ton! TURNER and HOOCH soak up all the cuddles and affection they can get. They excelled at crate training and are mastering their potty training. They have an inquisitive nature about them and love exploring the world around them. With one of these kids, every day’s a great day! Their forever families will be hitting the puppy jackpot!

Story
In search of a new home for my sweet baby boy Scotch. He is a 3yo boxer in love with everyone. No aggression to humans, dogs, or cats (I haven’t had him interact with a cat without him on a leash). He is best with a high energy active lifestyle. In all transparency he does have a jumping issue as but after a few minutes all he wants is to be pet. He is house trained as long as he is taken out periodically (anyone will have an accident if left for too long). He will find a way to entertain himself if left to his own devices for too long. He is honestly the sweetest and I would love to keep him but sadly I am unable to and wish to find him a loving home.

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This boy is needing to go to a good home with a big yard, preferably fenced in. He does not get along well with cats- he will snap at them. He is about 2 years old and 60-ish ponds. He is a rescue from a euthanasia center and I believe he was there for a while so we are still working on not using the potty in the house but he is doing a good job. His paperwork says his name is Garrett but he does not answer to it. He does listen well once he understands what you want him to do. He is fixed and loves being loved on. He is not a loud boy so he doesn’t bark often if ever. I’d like to give him to someone I know will take amazing care of him. If you think he may be a good fit for you or someone you may know then send me a message!! Unfortunately I can’t keep him due to not having everything I think he needs and deserves in a good home otherwise I would keep him myself. It breaks my heart to have to let him go but it is in his best interest to find him a home that can give everything!

Story
Arizona is a large chestnut brindle LOVER with extraordinary ears who is so ready to go home with the perfect family for her. Her ideal family is active, loving and experienced with high-energy dogs. Arizona loves walking, running, playing, swimming and go, go, going with her favorite humans. She thrives in a well structured environment with a solid routine. She is sweet, affectionate, a great listener and gives the best kisses. Arizona is the longest resident dog at HES, but in all of her time here she has gotten to learn so many new skills and tricks while she waits for the right family for her. She is now the most classically obedient dog around. She will gladly show off how she can sit, stay, down, heel, go to bed and shake hands. She is amazing on a leash and loves to play with discs and Jolly Balls. She is house broken, does well in a crate and enjoys car rides. She's great at learning new tricks too so we hope you are ready for some fun! This sweet baby girl needs extra training and tlc when meeting new people and controlling her reactivity. She doesn't love strangers and isn't a fan of eye contact from people she doesn't know. She can get vocal when she's scared. Arizona can do great with other dogs, as long as they are the right fit for her fun loving, outspoken, rowdy play style. No cats or children please. To make sure that Arizona's transition to her forever home is smooth sailing Dog Wizard of Chattanooga will offer free training classes for her and her forever family.
