Memphis is a big-hearted combination of adventure and affection. Estimated to have been born in July 2023 (he’s a bold, loyal Leo if you believe in sun signs), he came to the rescue as an unclaimed stray but hasn’t lost any of his spark. He’s at his best when he’s either on a road trip—he’s a pro in the car—or melting into the couch by your side, happy as can be. Cuddling is his favorite way to spend downtime, and he’s got a gentle streak that comes through when taking treats or waiting for attention. He already knows "sit," "paw," and "down," and his toy drive is strong—bones or balls, he’s enthusiastic no matter what. While he’ll chase a ball, he’s convinced celebrations belong right where he caught it. Memphis keeps his kennel spotless and shows promising signs of being house trained, though he’s still transitioning to home life. Leash manners are a work in progress; the world is just too exciting and he’ll need some more training to curb his eagerness. Memphis loves people and delivers hugs with gusto. Because he’s a muscular 65-pounder, he’s better suited for homes without small kids—he’d never mean any harm but might accidentally bowl someone over in his excitement. If you’re looking for a dog who’s part adventure buddy and part devoted cuddler, Memphis is waiting for you in Augusta, GA. Click apply to start the adoption process.
