UDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!!! PIPER IS ADOPTED!!!!!! Thank you so very much for your shares, offers, kind words, and even the phone calls of support. It takes a village and you guys are awesome!
UPDATE: Go Doggie Mobile Daycare has offered free training if she gets adopted. Thank you Go Doggie! Someone has offered to transport this girl. And someone has offered a free Zoomie session to the adopter. There are resources coming forward to help if we can just get her into a home.
Piper. It is with a heavy heart that that we must say goodbye to our sweet Piper if she is not adopted this week. Before you come at us for making this decision, you need to know the following. This poor girl has literally grown up in this shelter. She came to us at 4 months old back on June 6th. We have tried to highlight her multiple times. We even have her picture hanging in our lobby to attract attention to her. We have suggested her to multiple people for fostering or adoption. We have prayed that she would receive a miracle that has not come. We just don't know what else to do for her. She is good with other dogs but no cats. She loves to swim and play fetch. So, why is she still here? She sounds perfect right? The truth is, she is HYPER. Not just a little hyper either. Her nickname is Hyper Piper. Some have looked at her but decided she was too much for them. Honestly, she needs a very active home with someone that has the knowledge to train her. She won't always be this way. She just needs the right person and right home. If you think that is you, please call us. 901-385-6484

Sweet Pea spent a few days in a foster home over the New Year. Her foster family reports that she did wonderfully with the 3 other dogs in the house. She is crate trained and quiet. If the other dog wants to play, she will play. If the other dog wants nothing to do with her, she will mind her own business. The fireworks did not bother her one single bit. She loves toys and playing fetch. She has been with us since June of 2024! Someone please give her a chance! Bartlett, TN 901-385-6484.

Lets go over some snow safety tips before tonight.
1. DO NOT leave your pets outside for long periods of time. Everyone likes playing in the snow for a little while but don't leave them out there for too long.
2. Bring your pets inside. A few days of inconvenience for you, is not worth talking to the judge about. Put them in a crate, the bathroom, garage, etc. Any place where they are out of the wind and dry.
3. Clean the snow off their feet when they are done playing.
4. Provide fresh, clean, unfrozen water and plenty of food. They will burn the calories when they shiver trying to stay warm.
5. If you are that person that refuses to bring your pet inside, please see #2. If you still refuse, be sure to provide straw in their house. Hay and blankets freeze and your pet will freeze to them.
6. Keep in mind that if your pet freezes, you could win a one on one meeting with the judge to explain yourself.
Stay warm and have fun!!!!

OH NO FOLKS! One day before a snow storm we are full! Currently, we are not able to take in any stray or surrendered dogs without making difficult decisions. We desperatly need fosters and adopters to help get us through this storm. If you can help, please call us tomorrow at 901-385-6484. There are more dogs than what is in this album. We will do our best to add some dogs to it in the morning but please be patient with us as we are dealing with a crowded shelter and trying to prepare for this storm. WE NEED YOU!

When you hear there is a horse at Kroger, you just have to go check it out! Rocco is a big handsome fellow!

Check your gates/fences and make sure your pets have their collars and tags on!

Freezing temperatures are coming! If you know of an animal that does not have proper shelter, NOW is the time to let us know about it. Not in the middle of the night, not when we are closed but NOW. These complaints will need to be phoned in at 901-385-6484. That is the only way to make a complaint. Together, we can get the animals in our community through this cold snap.

You’re probably already aware of the risks posed by warm weather, but did you know that cold weather also poses serious threats to your pets'

UPDATE: We have had a few adoptions! YOU GUYS ROCK! However, we have also had more dogs come in to fill those spots so we still need more adoptions. If the dog has been adopted, it will say that on their picture. Otherwise, they are still available! Please keep our album going! Thank you!
7 dogs in two days + no adoptions = WE ARE FULL AGAIN! Please, if you can adopt or if you see your dog here, please come and claim them. We do not want to make difficult decisions and we are doing everything we can not to. However, if we don't open up some kennels, we will have no choice. Please claim or adopt!
