Woof River Animal Rescue is a volunteer run, 100% foster based 501c3 organization in Memphis, TN. Our mission is to save as many dogs and puppies as possible from high kill shelters and the streets in the South. Each and every dog lives as part of the family in a loving foster home until the perfect forever home is found. An average of 1200 dogs a month are euthanized in the MidSouth. There are also countless dogs living on the streets without vet care or even shelter. These heartbreaking numbers are the fuel that keeps us working all day every day for free. We serve all ages and breeds. We believe every dog deserves a chance at a warm, loving home every day of his life - and that new life starts with us!
The first step towards adopting a Woof River Animal Rescue pup is completing the adoption application! The application gives us background information necessary to select the best fit family for each dog and vise versa. We are excited to work with you to find your furry new family member! We take our job very seriously and want to do everything possible to ensure each and every dog will be with his adopted family for life. We highly suggest submitting an application describing the type of dog you are looking for even if you don’t see that particular dog on our adoptapet page. We don’t have every dog posted at once. Also, there are hundreds of homeless dogs in this area so there is a large chance that just what you are searching for can be found. We are all volunteers, but we also respect the time of our adopters. We try to have all applications processed in 5 business days or less. Once your application has been processed we will contact you. If you are approved, then we will send you the adoption contract, spay/neuter contract (for puppies under 6 months), transport information, and payment information. All adoption fees may be paid via PayPal, credit card, or debit card. All payments are handled securely through the PayPal site. However, you do not have to have a PayPal account to pay with credit or debit. Adoption fees are typically $290 for Memphis, $340 for Nashville, and $490 for our Knoxville, Midwest, and New England. Adoption fees are a direct result of $290 local adoption fee plus cost of health certificate and transport. Once the adoption is official, we put our adopters in touch with the foster parents. The foster parents are happy to talk with you about your dog’s current routine and favorite things. This is priceless in helping you prepare for your new arrival!
