About Dean

Meet Dean, a charming puppy with a backstory that adds to his appeal. Named after Carl Dean, the husband of the iconic Dolly Parton, his personality certainly shines brightly. Smart and affectionate, Dean is making great strides in potty training and loves to play with toys, cuddle, and be held. There’s something special about how he seeks out comfort and security, reminding everyone of the love he truly deserves. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter at just 10 weeks old, Dean’s journey was saved by a caring foster mom who stepped in just in time. With a playful spirit and a loving heart, he’s eager to join a forever home where he can offer endless fun and companionship. Dean comes fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped, along with up-to-date vaccinations. If you’re within the Memphis, TN tristate area, there’s a $300 local adoption fee, while an out-of-state adoption will be $600, which includes transport to states like PA, CT, NJ, MD, and VA.
