SHEPHERD/HERDING BREED EXPERIENCE REQUIRED! *Requirements to adopt any puppy (under 6 months) from ALIVE Memphis are as follows -Must have a minimum of one other personal dog -Must have a work/life schedule in which the puppy would be alone no longer than 4 hours at a time I’m Amber, and I was the runt of the litter. But what I lack in size I make up for in speed and sass. I never get pushed around by my siblings and you will hear my foster’s call my name because they are always looking for me when I go exploring. **Our Clueless puppies were born on 1/2/2021 in a rural shelter in MS-the whole family headed to a foster home in Memphis. Amber and her siblings are all thriving in foster homes full of socialization, while they wait for their forever homes. show less

My name is Elliott, and my perfect home would have kids, dogs and a big yard to run and play in. I’m friendly, but sometimes I’m a scaredy cat and hide in my crate if there are new people around – especially big men – or if I hear loud or unfamiliar noises. I get along great with kids and like to sniff them while they pet me. I’m a good listener who is leash and crate trained. I’m also learning basic commands like sit, stay, come and down. I love getting petted, and I’m yours forever if you rub my belly. I can’t get enough of my chew toys, and I’m learning how to play fetch. It’s great fun to roll in monkey grass and run around the yard, especially if there’s someone to play chase. Please send in your adoption application for me, and I’ll give you some tips on rolling in the monkey grass. * ELLIOT REQUIRES AT LEAST ONE CANINE FRIEND IN HIS FOREVER HOME Memphis/Nashville Adoptions At ALIVE Rescue Memphis, we take placing animals in their forever homes very seriously.

** Hugh & Lily are a bonded pair. They must be adopted together-however this adoption will double the love in your home.** Hi, I'm Hugh! My mom went to assisted living and me and my best friend Lilly had no place to go. Thankfully ALIVE Memphis swooped in and gave me and my girlfriend a sweet place to crash while waiting for our forever home. I'm a funny but shy guy. It's safe to say Lilly wears the pants in this relationship. She likes to explore and meet new people and smell new things-I'm comfier hanging in the back and watching her. Although it takes me a little bit of time to feel comfy, a handful of treats, and comfort, and I will be hanging on the couch next to you in no time. I LOVE to snuggle and when I have made a friend with a human my favorite thing to do is to give hugs. I have met other dogs and if they are into playing I get excited and follow suit, but I'm appropriate if they are not into a Hugh playdate. I may have a few moments of play in the house with a toy, but I'm really just content taking long naps on the couch. My foster home consists of a wonderful lady who takes care of me and Lilly, her two personal dogs, and her two children. I have meshed well with everyone here and I'm pretty low maintenance in my opinion. Me and my girl Lilly would do best in a home that is on the quiet and low-energy side. A fenced yard versus having to walk on busy city streets would also be our ideal situation. We are ready to retire and don't need the hustle and bustle of city life, like those other young whippersnappers ALIVE Memphis has available for adoption. If you are looking for a sweet duo that just wants a million naps, and to binge watch Golden girls with- get your app in now. show less

My mom went to assisted living and me and my best friend Hugh had no place to go. Thankfully ALIVE Memphis swooped in and gave me and my boyfriend a sweet place to crash while waiting for our forever home. I'm totally the more laid-back one in this relationship, but also the braver of our adorable duo. It's also safe to say I'm the one who wears the pants in this relationship. I have no problems exploring new places and meeting new people. However, I honestly prefer to find the comfiest spot in the house and observe in between taking comfy naps. I have three things in my life that I need to stay happy--Hugh, my blanket, and food. At this age, it's important to narrow down what you love and focus on that. My foster home consists of a wonderful lady who takes care of me and Hugh, her two personal dogs, and her two children.

*Requirements to adopt any puppy (under 6 months) from ALIVE Memphis are as follows: -Must have a minimum of one other personal dog -Must have a work/life schedule in which the puppy would be alone no longer than 4 hours at a time Hi, my name is Macy and I'm a lab puppy with a lust for life. I'm a typical puppy so I love to play hard and nap hard. My foster mom has been great about socializing me with people and other pups. She refers to me as brave and fearless! I'm great with other dogs and my future home needs to have at least one other canine friend for me to play with. I do well with my canine foster brother who is bigger than me and thankfully puts up with having a young girl in his house. I love to wrestle with him, but I also take his cues when he is over playing with an energetic puppy. I'm working on some basic commands and crate training. I do much better when people are around, so I would do best with a big family with a rotating home schedule or person who works from home. If a smart and spunky girl full of energy is your jam-fill that app out now! show less

A name like Major is perfect for a big boy like me, but I’m actually a social butterfly at heart. I think that all dogs and people should be friends and I’m happy to meet them all. I am unbelievably cute when I want a little attention. I tilt my head, prance like a pony, bark like a puppy and wag my tail. Body of a beast-bark of a yorkie. :) Squeaky balls that fit in my mouth are my favorite, and the squeakier the better. After a hard day of playing, I turn into a great couch potato. I’m leash-trained, crate-trained and treat-driven. I also love going on adventures and I do great on car rides. Send in your adoption application and bring home this major bundle of cuteness. show less

*POTENTIAL ADOPTERS MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE CURRENT DOG TO QUALIFY FOR ADOPTION* I’m Marley and I’m in training to be a superstar. I’m still a little shy, but make friends quickly (especially if treats are involved.) In my foster home, I love to play with my bucket of toys. I grab each one and pile it in my kennel until the bucket is empty. So potential adopters take note! My ideal family would go on lots of walks and visit places with lots of smells. A home with a yard would be a huge plus because I’m really into sunbathing. I am known for my puppy dog eyes and how I wag my tail and bob my head as I walk. If this sounds good to you, send in your adoption application so we can sit outside and just watch birds and feel the breeze. show less

My name is Nedra, but Joy might be a good nickname because I am joyful all the time. I may be shy for a moment, but warm up quickly to be my affectionate and playful self. I’m known for my precious smile, and all 50 pounds of me is just one cuddly lap dog. My favorite toy is my giant Kong octagonal ball. I really like to play with other dogs once we get to know each other. I enjoy short walks and LOVE to go for car rides in my foster’s convertible. If you’re looking for close encounters of the boxer kind, please send in your adoption application and ask for joyful little ole me. show less

*POTENTIAL ADOPTERS MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE CURRENT DOG TO QUALIFY FOR ADOPTION* Hello, my name is Rini, aka Small Lady. I am sweet and shy at first, but love to play and cuddle once I get comfortable. My foster mom and siblings are teaching me all sorts of new tricks and boosting my confidence. I am also learning where the best places to cuddle are. I enjoy playing with toys and friends, and I run in little circles and do little jumps. My foster mom calls them the zoomies, and my Stewart jumps from Mad TV! I would do best in a home with another friend. I cannot wait to find a home to call my very own. Just tell them Rini sent you! show less

Attention young couples who wake up everyday ready for fun, excitement, and laughter! My name is River, and my best qualities are that I’m affectionate and will always keep you smiling. I do like to play, but I really love to cuddle up when you're watching tv or sleeping. It’s kinda cool because I wake up when you wake up....so if you are into sleeping in, I’m the girl for you! Greeting new people at the door is fun, and I like to say hello when I see them on the street. My perfect job would be the greeter who says hello to everyone as they walk into a store AKA a Walmart greeter dog. I’m leash and crate trained, I know how to sit and I’m a very good listener. Send in your adoption application for me if you’re ready for some cuddly sleepovers. show less

Look at me I’m Sandy! I came into the rescue as a momma dog, but now that my puppies are adopted it is time for me to find my forever home too. I’m always happy to see every human and dog I meet. I have never met a stranger and I’m literally the Wal-Mart greeter of dogs. The only complaint a person would have walking me in a busy area, is that I will stop to say hi to every dog and child, and person I see. I love to play with my foster siblings! My foster home consists of two little guys smaller than me and a large female who has a few pounds on me. I love to play and wrestle with my big friend but I’m polite and appropriate to the smaller dogs in my foster home. Don’t let all this playing talk scare you though-I’m also down to cuddle on the couch and binge Netflix with my foster parents. I’m like Velcro and am never far from my humans. If you want a social dog that is also down for a calm night in, submit your app today! show less

Hi, I’m Virginia! My current roommates are 3 cats, one being a 4-month-old kitten. I especially love that baby kitty, but you should see how I come alive when I’m around other dogs. In fact, I think being around another dog or multiple canine friends would be my idea forever home. I'm nervous around new people at first, but once I trust you, I will become your personal shadow and want to be wherever you are. My favorite things to play with are my Kong toy and balls. I’m crate and leash trained, and I’m starting to get the hang of how to play fetch. Please send in your adoption application for me, and we’ll master the art of playing fetch.
