We just received an urgent plea to help this dog who is located in Memphis.

Can anyone foster this pup? The Savior Foundation has a private donor who will cover medical costs.

If you can, please contact us and we will let you know where the pup is located. Please let us know if you can help.

Check out the girl with the big doe eyes! 👀🥹

✨ Meet Akira, a bundle of joy who has been at the shelter for almost a month and is eager to find her new home or even a foster home soon. Recently, Akira spent some time with a shelter volunteer who got to know her delightful personality.

She said Akira is the funniest girl you’ll ever meet, always ready to bring a smile to your face. She’s a playful spirit who loves her toys and proudly shows them off. During their time together, she hopped around with joy, taking breaks for treats, which she accepted very gently. Akira is easy to entertain; a squeaky toy can keep her happy for hours.

This sweet girl also has good manners. She took care of her business as soon as she went outside and then wanted to head back in when it got a bit hot. In the playroom, she wasted no time finding toys and having a blast. 🥳

She is estimated to be 3 years old, weighs 39 pounds, and is heartworm NEGATIVE! What's more, she is spayed and microchipped, so she is ready to leave the shelter as soon as you complete the adoption process for her. She could go home with you today! 🥰

Come meet Akira ( ) at MAS! We are open from 12 to 4 pm on weekends and 1 to 6 pm on weekdays. You can also send us an adoption inquiry from her profile found at memphisanimalservices.com/adopt/available-pets/

If you can't adopt right now, please consider fostering this sweet girl! If you haven't fostered before and want to learn more, visit memphisanimalservices.com/how-to-help/i-want-to-foster/ 🐾

🐶 Meet Horseshoe, a smart, friendly, and well-behaved dog who is eagerly waiting to meet his new best friend. ⬇️

Horseshoe impresses everyone with his good manners. As he walks past the kennels, he greets other dogs calmly, even when some bark at him. He knows how to sit on command and loves getting treats as a reward. When his human companion sits, Horseshoe stands next to them, leaning in for affectionate dog hugs. 🥰

🌟 He seems to be potty trained since he does his business outside and keeps his kennel clean. Inside, he listens attentively and stays close, even when walking past several people. His curiosity shines through as he loves looking out the window, observing the world around him.

He is estimated to be 2 years old, weighs 56 pounds, and is heartworm NEGATIVE! 💕

Horseshoe ( ) is not only handsome but also loyal and fun. He would make a wonderful addition to a loving home. Come meet this amazing boy at MAS and see for yourself what a great companion he can be! We are open from 1 to 6 pm on weekdays and 12 to 4 pm on weekends. You can also send us an adoption inquiry from his profile found at memphisanimalservices.com/adopt/available-pets/ 🐾

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A stoic boy needs a stoic name, so Scotland it is! He just has a face that could make about anyone gush. 🥹

One of our staff members recently spent time with him and fell head-over-heels:

"Scotland is the chillest guy we know! This big-headed fella is very calm both in and out of his kennel. He was easy to leash up and, despite his stockiness, a breeze to walk! Out in the yard, he sniffed around and checked his pee-mail, making sure to come back for cuddles periodically. He sits very nicely for a treat and even got some nice zoomies! He seemed very interested in the neighboring dog and wanted to play. Scotland would sometimes chase the tennis ball too. Overall, he's a chill fella who would love a home of his own!" 💕

He is estimated to be 1 year old, weighs 61 pounds, and is currently heartworm positive. We will help you and your private vet treat his heartworms following adoption though!

Come meet Scotland ( ) at MAS any day of the week! We are open from 1 to 6 pm on weekdays and 12 to 4 pm on weekends. You can also send us an adoption inquiry for Scotland from his profile found at memphisanimalservices.com/adopt/available-pets/ 🐾

SEARCHING FOR CAT FOSTERS! 🔎

We have so many cats and kittens in need of foster homes that we couldn't fit it all in one picture!

Our cat kennels were FULL yesterday, and we could really use the help of our cat foster parents in taking care of them. We will only be getting more. 🥹

We have several moms with kittens, several singletons, and some small litters of just kittens as well. Kittens without moms will need to be fostered in pairs or in sets of three if there is only three in the litter.

➡️ Can you help us? Come by the shelter today between 1 and 6 pm ASAP if you can!

✨ If you have never fostered for us before but are interested, you can fill out the Cat Foster Application found here: memphisanimalservices.com/how-to-help/i-want-to-foster/
