About Memphis Slim

Memphis Slim has a loyal following at Streetdog Foundation, and for good reason. Once living outside, Slim now knows the comforts of a foster home and has settled right in. At about 80 lbs and 7 years old, he’s a classic Rottweiler—sweet, steady, and people-focused. He bonds with other big dogs well and loves being around kids. Slim is eager to please and picks up new things quickly, so training is a breeze with him. Because of his size and past, he’d thrive best with an adopter who has some experience with bigger dogs. Most of Slim’s life was spent outdoors, but he looks forward to days spent inside with a family, a soft couch, and all the belly rubs he deserves. He is heartworm positive but will be treated with support from the rescue, so adopters just need to provide patience and a little TLC. Let Slim trade in his old outdoor life for a loving forever home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
