PUPDATE: Nana
Nana moved into a foster home this week with SDF alum Victor! She’s settling in nicely and we’ve started getting some tail wags. Last night she got her first medicated bath and is sporting an absolutely adorable pair of pajamas to help keep her cozy while her skin heals. We knew we couldn’t keep this sweet video to ourselves! #sdfnananettie #adoptable
First Bath Time 🛁 !! She wasn’t sure whether to hate it or love it 😂 #sdfGorgeousDog will be getting weekly baths to cure her mange and soothe her itchy skin.
🌟 PUPDATE: GORGEOUS DOG (🔈Sound on for a medical update)
We have some good news to share about our beloved Gorgeous Dog! She's started on Demodex meds and anti-fungal treatments for her skin, all aimed at giving her the comfort she deserves. Next up on her journey is heartworm treatment, a much-needed spay, and multiple tooth extractions. It's a road ahead, but she's facing it with the same sweet spirit that initially captured our hearts.
Doc's words say it all: "She's just so sweet." Despite her hardships, she radiates gratitude for every bite of food and every ounce of love she receives. Gorgeous has been soaking it up and giving lots of kisses. She's been trying to sit in laps or cuddle close, reminding us of the power of love to heal.
But here's the best part: she's medically cleared to move to her foster home! She will be leaving this evening - check our stories to see her foster freedom ride!
Thank you to everyone who has supported Gorgeous Dog on her journey. Your kindness and generosity have made moments like these possible.
Stay tuned for more updates on Gorgeous! 🐾💕 #sdfGorgeousDog #adoptable #rescuedog #memphis
🚨PUPDATE: GORGEOUS DOG 💕Gorgeous is resting at Grace Animal Hospital this evening under the care of the talented medical team. Doc wants her to stay a little longer for observation, ensuring we get a full picture of her health concerns. Clearly, her life has been challenging. Malnutrition has left its mark, along with scabby ears, runny eyes, and the telltale signs of years gone by in her worn teeth - some of which may need to be extracted. Her condition didn't get this bad in 2 weeks, so her owner may not have been able to care for himself for a long while, as well. 😭We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming love and support of the Memphis animal welfare community that has rallied around Gorgeous. She has a foster commitment waiting for her, ensuring she'll soon have a loving home. Your support keeps us going. Keep sharing and donating to aid in Gorgeous Dog's recovery and help us provide hope and love for other dogs in the Midsouth. 🐾💕#sdfgorgeousdog #adoptable #roadtowellness #rescuedog #memphis
🚨 FREEDOM RIDE: GORGEOUS DOG 🚨
Heartbreaking doesn't even begin to describe it. Gorgeous Dog spent two weeks lying faithfully beside her deceased owner before she was found when officers did a wellness check at her home. She cried as they led her away from the scene. Can you imagine the loyalty and love in her heart?
Because of her age and poor health condition, Gorgeous Dog immediately ended up on the euthanasia list at MAS. Although we don't typically pull from shelters, we knew we needed to help Gorgeous and get her the care she needed to thrive in her senior years.
Gorgeous Dog took her freedom ride yesterday with one of our long-term volunteers. Even though she was a little nervous about her journey, she was so grateful and sweet, constantly thanking Jess with kisses and tail wags. Each time she stopped petting her, Gorgeous politely asked for more love with a gentle paw or kiss.
At 10 years old, underweight at 52 lbs, and battling heartworms, Gorgeous Dog's journey to health won't be easy. But we will give her the care and love she deserves. We are awaiting test results, but she is resting comfortably at Grace Animal Hospital today. Stay tuned for a medical update later this afternoon.
Please consider donating to help offset the medical costs of caring for Gorgeous Dog and sharing this post with your network. Every contribution makes a difference! #sdfGorgeousDog #adoptable #roadtowellness #rescuedog #wedontdeservedogs #memphis
For Sybil’s 6th birthday, she asked her friends and family to bring treats and donations for the pups of Streetdog Foundation instead of gifts for her. This sweet, selfless act brought so much joy to the dogs in boarding including #adoptable Novella. Thank you so much to Sybil and her mom Stephanie! We are so thankful for your kindness and generosity! Happy Birthday! 💜💛🎂🐶
ARTHUR IS HOME SAFE!! 💜💛💜
For those who may not have seen, alumni Arthur went missing from his grandpawrent’s home Tues afternoon. His family and friends posted him all over social media and went to EVERY neighbors home to show his picture and ask if he was seen. By Saturday morning there were still NO sightings.
At that time a dog tracking team was brought in to help find him because there was SO MUCH land to cover in the area he was lost. Family also went out again to put up signs at every intersection, hand out flyers and reach out to more neighbors. After using multiple dogs and tracking until sunset with no sign of him, the best guess was that Arthur may have been picked up at a church down the road.
Everyone planned on going out with more signs and flyers Sunday, but guess who turned up at the door!!!
Arthur was finally home safe with no injuries. Best guess is that some nice person was taking care of him, saw the flyers, and dropped him off when they saw how much his family missed him! We are thankful to whoever helped him on his journey, and brought him home safely! 🙏💜
This just shows that taking the time to get flyers, posters, social media posts, and talking to neighbors can make the difference in getting your lost baby back home! 🏠🐶💛
*Boop* So much fun on this rainy Saturday at Wiseacre Brewing Company! #sdfBrunono #sdfClementine #sdfTank are #adoptable!

🚨🚨RESCUE IN PROGRESS 🚨🚨
We received a call this morning about a pup in dire need of help. He was dropped off at the business of one of our supporters and they let us know right away. We could tell on FaceTime this dog is in really bad condition. He would blink but couldn’t move a muscle. He was laying in his own vomit and bleeding from his back end. As soon as our founders saw how bad he was, they immediately went to transport him to the vet. This is easily up there with some of the worst cases we’ve seen that we weren’t even sure he would survive the car ride. Thankfully he made it to Grace Animal Hospital where Doc and his staff are working furiously to do all they can for this sweet boy. Please sent all the good prayers and vibes his way as he will need them all. 💜 More updates to come 🙏🏽

🐾 PUPDATE: HATTIE MOON 🌙
Hattie is doing well! Her bloodworm is back and luckily she tested negative for Brucella. Unfortunately she is HW+ and the vet team is treating her for worms. They're feeding her a mix of wet and dry food in small, frequent meals to help her gain weight. Hattie is incredibly sweet with all the techs and remains calm around other doggies. 🐾
Hattie is not actively producing milk so it’s a possibility she had already weaned and was dumped. Ultimately, we are not sure what happened to her puppies or where they may be, but at this time, we do not think she had puppies with her in or around the parking lot.
Thank you to everyone that has donated and shared Hattie’s story! Your thoughts and prayers are helping. 🐶❤️ #sdfHattieMoon #rescuedog #memphis #FosterMe #sdfroadtowellness
Fruit pups, #sdfapple and #sdflemon are settling in to their new foster home with big brother #sdfhomer!! These adorable pups are #adoptable and ready for their new homes! 🍎 🍋 #rescuepuppy #fosteringsaveslives #memphis
🚨🚨RESCUE ALERT: CHRISTOPHER 🚨🚨
Though I have been sadly been down and out for a while, my rescue story began two weeks ago. It was a blistering day with temperatures of over 100 degrees…a horrible heat for everyone…but especially for those of us left outside. I was a dehydrated and exhausted homeless boy, so flea-ridden that the hair on the back half of my right hip was gone, and now red and bleeding from my scratching and licking and so sore from sunburn.
I had wandered aimlessly for days on end looking for food, water, shelter, and just someone to speak kindly to me. I crawled under a truck at a house for relief from the scalding pavement. Unfortunately, the people living there didn’t want me there at all. They would not talk to me at all, they just called the shelter to come get me, but all I wanted was a bowl of water. Time just kept passing, and I kept getting weaker and weaker.
Over 27 hours later with no food or water, I was giving up hope. Unbeknownst to me, the Streetdog crew heard about my situation and headed straight out to find me! Could someone really want to help me?!
A kind eyed man with a gentle voice arrived where I was laying, crawled right under the truck to calm me, and let me know he was there to save me. He first offered me a gesture that anyone can do for us homeless pups out there; he offered me a clean cool bowl of water!
I was so surprised at his goodness that I put my total trust in him. He told me that I was going to be okay and that I would not have to be alone again. I knew that he was full of love for me….I could feel it coming from his very soul.
He took me to the emergency vet where they kept me under observation, and fully hydrated me after having gone so long without anything to drink. Two days later I transferred to Grace Animal Hospital where the Docs and staff made sure that I was comfy and had everything I needed.
My hip wound is healing, I am fully hydrated and eating well now, but dogs like me wit
