About Memphis

Meet Memphis. This resilient boy was found in rural Georgia, emaciated and in desperate need of help. Rushed to a veterinary hospital, it turned out he had a corn cob lodged in his intestines, causing a life-threatening obstruction. Thankfully, the veterinary team managed to save him just in time. Despite his past trauma, Memphis remains sweet-natured. He welcomes everyone with an open heart and an unshakeable spirit, proving that love can endure through the toughest times. Now, he’s on the mend, learning what it's like to have a full belly and a comfortable place to sleep. Memphis is looking for a family to show him that the worst days are behind him. He deserves a safe home where he won't have to scavenge for food or feel alone ever again. If you are ready to give him the loving forever home he seeks, he is excited to start this new chapter of his life with you. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Start your journey together! Apply now.
