Dogs of the week: Honey & Lilly!

This week we're  doing (2) dog's of the week. They are sisters and are perfect for each other. They do everything together, and CAN be adopted out separately. 

HONEY 

I am just a sweet puppy and not yet full grown. I am all black with a pretty white stripe on my chest. I absolutely love the lake and will go in just to swim or to chase things.  I am a very fast runner and I think I am pretty smart.  I can learn new commands pretty easily.  I love other dogs, children and pretty much anyone who will stop to scratch my ears.  I really would like to settle down somewhere with a forever owner.  I haved moved around a lot and would really love to stay in one place.  Please let me come to your house.  

**UPDATE**

Honey is living outside right now with several other dogs.  With the temperatures below freezing, she could really use an indoor foster home.  A forever home would be even better.  But if you can, please consider fostering this poor girl.  She is still a puppy @ only 9 months old.  Please help Honeysuckle.

LILLY  

I am a playful puppy and enjoyed the church fair very much.  My foster mom let me walk around on the leash with at least 4 or 5 of the children that were there.  I got to visit with everyone and did not bark at anyone.  They were all so nice and scratched me from head to foot.  Next to loving to be around people is my love for the water.  I used to swim or play in the lake every day until I moved.  Then I had to move again.  I would love to be a partner for someone who would give me a forever home.  I am so tired of moving around!  Please adopt me to a forever home soon!

**UPDATE** 

 Lily is living outside right now with several other dogs.  With the temperatures below freezing, she could really use an indoor foster home.  A forever home would be even better.  But if you can, please consider fostering this poor girl.  She is still a puppy @ only 9 months old.  Please help Lily.

Buster adopted

Buster was one of our 1st fosters. He was a young stray in a not so good part of Memphis in the fall of 2007. He came with some shy and fear issues. He was overlooked many times due to his fear.
In August of 2009 he was accepted into the Death Row Dogs program in KY. This is a program where the dogs live with prisoners, go through basic training and graduate with the Canine Good citizen Certificate. We felt this program would help Buster with his issues. He came home more fearful than before and Fred and I decided Buster needed to become a permanent part of our family.
We tell him it took him 2 years and prison to get on the couch which is where he stays 90% of the time. He is happy and so are we to have him as a permanent part of our pack!

Dog of the week: Tyson

Tyson is a handsome 2yo male lab mix who was rescued as a stray in Memphis. He has a medium activity level, goes outside to do his business, plays a little bit, then wants to come back inside. Likes to go for walks, loves to be with people, enjoys being petted and brushed. There are no children in his foster home so, although gentle, Tyson is recommended for children 12 years and older. Good with cats and other dogs, but he prefers humans so he would do fine as an only dog. Good on a leash, knows basic commands, very good inside manners. Completely housebroken, crate-trained but we never crate him because he is great in the house, never has accidents, never bothers anything. Tyson is a little shy with new people but warms up quickly and we expect to see this shyness diminish as his socialization continues. No issues such as separation anxiety, counter surfing or barking. Weighs about 50#, healthy, altered and utd on shots.

Tyson desperately needs a new foster home, his current foster is starting a new job and will be out of town for extended periods of time. Please, if you can help Tyson on his journey to his forever home, let us know! Thanks!!

Puppies of the week: Jewell, Janie, & Jeffie

Hi there!! We are Jewell, Janie & Jeffie. We were born on 09/09/09! Pretty cool, huh? We had another sister, Jazzy, luckily she has been adopted! We've just celebrated our 5 month birthday and it was a blast! We are Labrador mix and we should weigh around 40-50lbs once full grown. We love our foster home, it's so much fun there, but we're really looking for our forever homes ya know? We're very good babies and we know our manners very well. If you're interested in giving us a chance please send an email to dogs2ndchance@gmail.com

Dog of the week: Tippy!

Tippy is a lovable little spit fire. Due to her breed type, she is independent at times, but loves nothing more than to be with her person. She has a relatively high activity level, so couch potato would only apply after a walk or a play session. She enjoys playing games and is great with all dogs. She will make a great family pet, but I wouldn't place her with small children due to her activity level. She doesn't understand that running by someone might just knock them over. She would be a great apartment dog and one that you could take places with you. She enjoys being the center of attention, and also loves new things. The picture doesn't do her justice at all. She is absolutely beautiful!! She will make someone a very good catch. She is 1 1/2yrs, 30lbs of muscle, and 17 inches at the shoulder.



*Tippy was trained in a prison dog program at the GRCC. This is a 3 month training program called "death row dogs." The dogs are crate trained, house broken, taught basic obedience and leash trained. These dogs are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, as well as temperament tested to know what situation the dog will fit most easily into.*

This is Tippy on Halloween, who says dogs can't have a little fun too? This picture was taken right before she received her Canine Good Citizen certificate from the death row dogs program.

Tippy is a great dog and would make a great addition to any home, if you can't adopt at this time but would like to help - we desperately need dedicated fosters!! Or you may consider sponsoring Tippy with a donation from time to time as long as she's in our rescue! Please click here for more info on donating.
