Poodle, Terrier [Mix]

Whitley is a 4 yo silver/grey-colored Poodle/Terrier mix who weighs 20 lbs. She is such a sweetheart. Very outgoing and friendly, one of her fast buddies is our Emeril.

Whitley is heartworm positive and we will be treating her for this. We anticipate she will come thru her treatment with flying colors and be looking for her forever home.

Whitley can be adopted at this point, provided the adopter is willing to allow her to be heartworm treated (which we will pay for). Dogs being treated for heartworm are typically easy to care for, as they need to rest and have limited activity during the treatment phase. Contact us if you could foster or provide a permanent home for Whitley!

AN ADOPTION FEE OF $150 IS REQUIRED FOR WHITLEY.

Please contact Lisa Trenthem at ltrenthem@gmail.com or 901-276-7751 if you are interested in adopting Whitley. If you are interested in adopting, have a look at our adoption application, complete it, and send to the contact person.

If you are unable to adopt at this time, you may sponsor the care of this pet.

We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
