Gemma (Formerly Royal)'s Story

Updated 1May25 **Meet Gemma (formerly Royal)** Breed: Unknown (but definitely a mix of sass and sweetness) Status: Available for adoption (serious inquiries only-no royal pretenders allowed!) **Background** Gemma was picked up as a stray and was said to be shut down. Team Memphis Rescue (TMRS) went to visit another dog and discovered that MAS had pulled her card for euthanization. After a quick intervention, they sat on the ground for a few minutes, and when we took her out, we realized the shelter had it all wrong-Gemma was ready to shine! She took off playing and having the time of her life. So we just took her right out the front door to start her new chapter. **Personality** Now, Gemma is officially your shadow! This little lady is dog-friendly and playful, but don't be surprised if she plays hard to get with new people-she's shy at first, but once she warms up, prepare for some serious cuddle time. Gemma has a refined palate and insists on soft treats over hard ones; she's basically a canine connoisseur! Her favorite pastime? Lounging on blankets like royalty-because why sit on the floor when you can live like a queen? She is potty trained and has mastered the art of staying in her crate like a pro. Plus, she's smart-she might just outsmart you during playtime! **Keep Your Eyes Peeled!** Stay on the lookout for more updates on Gemma's adventure! Will she find her forever kingdom? Could she be the next canine celebrity? If you have any questions or need assistance in the meantime, don't hesitate to reach out! Just remember, no royal imposters-Gemma is the genuine article!

Team Memphis Rescue & Support's Adoption Policy

Adoption Process The first step towards adopting a Team Memphis 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 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 suggest submitting an application describing the type of dog you are looking for even if you don’t see that particular dog on our adopt a pet page. Not every dog is posted. Also, there are hundreds of homeless dogs in this area so the pet you desire could possibly be found. We are all volunteers but try to process applications in 7 business days or less. You should receive a response that the application is being processed which means we are calling references, including the Veterinarian Clinic listed. Once your application is approved, a Team Memphis Representative will contact you for a brief phone interview, request a home inspection and set up date/time for a meet & greet. Adopters will also receive a call from the foster family if the pet is in a foster home. Foster families play a big part in a rescue dog's life. They provide valuable information to the adopter that helps the pet transition to a new home. If the pet appears to be the perfect fit, Team Memphis will provide a contract for signature and adopter pays the donation fee. Payments can be made through the PayPal, Venmo, checks or cash. Adoption fees are typically $300 and $200 for seniors (7 & up). The transport fee (approx $140/$150) for out of State adoptions is paid by the adopter after the reservation is made by Team Memphis Rescue. Team Memphis Adoption process: • You must be at least 21 years of age and be able to provide proof of age. • Any current pets must be spayed/neutered. They must also be up to date on annual exams, annual heartworm tests and annual vaccinations – along with consistent heartworm preventative. Exceptions to this will only be considered if proof of a medical explanation is provided. The same applies for your past pets. • If you currently rent, you must provide a landlord’s phone number and a copy of your executed lease. • All members of the family living in the home where the animal must agree on the adoption. • Home check will be required or video chat if out of state. • You must be able to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and proper care for a pet. We are a volunteer based organization. We receive inquiries on dogs often and can not always respond. Please submit an adoption application if you are interested in one of our pets.
