Inessa has LOST 2 homes due to no fault of her own. The first time she was adopted, she was the companion of an autistic child. Slept in the bed every night. Her human mom got married to a man who also had a female dog. They did not get along, so Inessa got returned to the rescue. Inessa loved her 2nd dad. Slept in the bed with him, took goofy pics together, had a dog brother. She was living the good life. However, life happens and her dad had to go to rehab. Inessa ended back at the rescue. Inessa is a great dog! House trained. Crate trained. She’s no trouble at all. She’s happy to do whatever you’re happy doing. She deserves to live out her life on a couch. She does not prefer to be around other female dogs, but may be able to have the right male doggie pal.

Story

Meet Riddle: A Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold Riddle is a sweet, soulful dog who deserves a second chance at a loving home. Rescued from Memphis Animal Shelter just in time, Riddle was initially misunderstood due to his scars, with shelter staff fearing he had been involved in dog fighting. But after a temperament test, it was clear that Riddle is a gentle, shy boy who prefers to keep to himself and avoid conflict. Now between 7 and 8 years old, Riddle has undergone heartworm treatment and is in good health, ready for a quiet, loving home. He’s a total sweetheart who would love nothing more than to be a lap dog. His favorite spot is the loveseat, where he sneaks a few moments of relaxation before heading to his kennel. Though shy at first when meeting new people, Riddle quickly warms up and becomes your loyal best friend. Quiet and well-behaved, Riddle spends most of his day peacefully in his kennel, only getting excited when it’s time for his meals. With his soulful eyes and gentle demeanor, he’s a dog that will melt your heart. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who just wants to share love and cuddles, Riddle is the perfect match.

Story

Honey is one of the smartest dogs we have ever met. She learns commands and tricks fast and is extremely athletic! We do think Honey would benefit greatly from consistent exercise although she doesn't need anything over-the-top. A good game of fetch and a short walk will get you a cuddly couch potato chewing on a bone. Have we mentioned her immense skill at eyeliner? Yeah, Honey brings it all!

Story

Hello, kind folks. My name is Heather, and I’m here to share my story, though it’s a tough one to tell. I’m a simple blue-gray and white pitty mix—nothing flashy, nothing fancy—and that seems to have made me invisible to the world. I’ve been here so long that I’ve become the shelter’s longest resident, watching countless dogs and cats find their forever homes while my cage remains untouched. Not a glance, not a second look.Let me tell you, I have so much love to give. I know how to love and I long to be loved back. But I need your help. You see, I’m high heartworm positive and starting to show symptoms. If I don’t get out of the shelter soon, this disease could take my life. The staff does their best, but they can’t treat every dog, especially one like me who hasn’t caught anyone’s eye.I’m begging for a chance. I’m housebroken, I love other dogs, and I would thrive in a foster home where I could heal after treatment. All I need is someone to see the dog I am inside and give me the chance I deserve. Please consider fostering or adopting me—my time is running out, and I promise, I’m worth it. Let me show you the love and gratitude I’ve been waiting to give. ??

Story

Meet little ray of sunshine, Bea! Bea is suspected to have been born stray, and was caught by a good samaritan. Since coming to Furgiven, she has blossomed and has absolutely stolen the hearts of our staff. At six years old, her favorite activities include playing with her friends outside, napping in the sun, and going for walks at various parks around the city. Her leash skills are excellent, she is a follower and seeks guidance. Bea has a very special, tender personality, and is very easy to be around. Her time on the streets left much to be desired, and made the world seem scary. She loves everyone on our team dearly, wags her tail a mile-a-minute, runs over to be pet, and never says no to laying on the couch in our living room for a belly rub. With strangers, she is nervous, kind, and seeks to her people for guidance. Her perfect owner is someone who is understanding of the fact that Bea will take a little bit of time to fall in love with them, but that once she builds trust and does, a mountain of love will follow. Bea is perfect for someone who prefers to be at home, but enjoys having a dog to get them out of the house for walks. She is happy to wait for you at home while you go to work, and would absolutely love to have a dog friend in the home. Other dogs give Bea a huge boost in confidence, and she loves to trot behind them. She is also cat friendly. A fenced backyard is a requirement for Bea, to ensure she remains safe while building a relationship with her forever family. Best personality traits: Likes to please, listens well, settles easily indoors, has an incredible love for life, tail wags and happy trots, you can see her heart opening up as she starts to give you head butts and kisses while building trust, she's a gentle soul. Apply for Bea today, and make her an incredible addition to your family.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Meet Pauletta: A Strong and Sweet Survivor Pauletta is a striking fawn and white English Bulldog pit mix with a heart as big as her muscles. At around 6 to 7 years old and weighing about 60 lbs, Pauletta is as strong as an ox—she’s got the power of a linebacker and could easily pull a grown man off his feet! Even a pinch collar doesn’t slow her down. Despite her strength, Pauletta is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She adores massages and will happily relax by your side when given some love and attention. Pauletta’s story is one of resilience. She was confiscated as part of a cruelty case when she was just about a year old, but that hasn’t dimmed her spirit. Now, she’s ready for a forever home where she can be safe and loved. Because of her strong personality, Pauletta isn’t great with other dogs. She tends to be a bit of a bully, nudging them around as if to challenge them, so she’s best suited for a home where she can be the only pet. Due to her strength and temperament, she should be exercised in a backyard rather than on the street. If you’re looking for a strong, loving companion who has overcome adversity and is ready to be your loyal sidekick, Pauletta is your girl!
