Christopher is a big, goofy sweetheart with the clumsy charm of a playful puppy. He loves rolling in the grass and delights in a good back scratch, and he’s at his happiest when out for walks. Christopher genuinely gets along with other dogs and thrives on canine friendship. He’s loyal to his people—sometimes a bit too loyal, as he can grow possessive of his favorite human, which means his ideal home will have several adults or family members to spread the love and help him feel secure. His journey to safety wasn’t easy. Christopher wandered the blistering Memphis streets for days, battling dehydration, hunger, and a nasty sunburn that left his hip raw. When the world ignored him, a kind rescuer crawled right under a truck to offer him a life-saving bowl of water and a gentle hand. From there, real healing began—first at the emergency vet, then at a local animal hospital, where his wounds and heartworm started to heal. Christopher has rebuilt his strength and his trust. Now he’s ready for a new chapter, carrying with him not just his own second chance but the legacy of the friend he’s named after. Christopher does not get along well with cats or young children, but loves the company of dogs and deserves a home where he’s valued as part of the family. Fun fact: Christopher is a Virgo, which tracks—he’s loyal to the core. Click apply to start the adoption process.
