About Ivony

Ivony is a striking, photogenic boxer/pit bull mix who’s been waiting for a real home since late 2022. She narrowly escaped a Memphis kill list and now needs someone who truly understands her needs. Ivony absolutely loves her people—she’s loyal, deeply affectionate, and happiest snuggled up next to you, even in bed. She’s about 4-5 years old, medium-sized (around 40lbs), housebroken, and mostly walks well on leash but still pulls with excitement sometimes. Ivony thrives as either the only dog or with another submissive dog her size, but she isn’t suited to homes with cats or small dogs. She’s got a notable prey drive and is quick to bark at passersby, cars, and distant neighbors, especially when bored; it comes from too long sitting in the same environment without enough to do. She needs a household where someone is home often and can let her be a true family member. Ivony is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and current on preventatives. Her adoption fee is waived to the perfect home. Give this loving girl a shot at the life she’s deserved for so long. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
