Rey (Formerly Rory)'s Story

Rey<br/> Updated 03.23.26<br/><br/>Rey and his six siblings started their journey at Memphis Animal Services, surrendered by an owner who could no longer care for them.

With a 50% discount, he's received roughly $4,000 worth of professional training - and it shows.<br/><br/>He is:<br/> Confident and social<br/> Loves everything (people, life, fun... all of it)<br/> Crate trained<br/> Potty trained<br/> Well-behaved in public (he even attended a Hollywood Feed adoption event!)<br/><br/>The second tallest of the group, Rey is nearly as big as Ranger - but personality-wise, he chose a completely different lane.<br/><br/>Affectionately known as "Mr. Goofy," Rey is playful, outgoing, and fully convinced that every person he meets is already his best friend. His signature one-up, one-down ear fits his silly, happy-go-lucky vibe perfectly.<br/><br/>He's also "velcro" in the best way - always close by, always part of the action, and always ready to make you laugh.<br/><br/> DNA from a sibling shows a mix of:<br/>38% Siberian Husky<br/>32% German Shepherd<br/>18% Rottweiler<br/>5% American Pit Bull Terrier<br/>2% Boxer<br/><br/> Best Fit: Rey has a busy mind and thrives when he has a "job." He would do best in a home that continues his training, provides structure, and channels his energy into something fun and productive - whether that's advanced obedience, enrichment work, or an active lifestyle.

Rey and his six siblings started their journey at Memphis Animal Services, surrendered by an owner who could no longer care for them. For an older litter, that can be a tough break - but these seven were too special to leave behind, so we stepped in to give them their chance.

We took Rey in at around 10 months old, and now at about 1 year and 3 months, he's grown into a confident, fun-loving young dog with a busy mind.

On 01.31.2026, Rey headed to JK9 Training in Pittsburgh, where he has truly shown just how great he is. With a 50% discount, he's received roughly $4,000 worth of professional training - and it shows.

He is:
Confident and social
Loves everything (people, life, fun... all of it)
Crate trained
Potty trained
Well-behaved in public (he even attended a Hollywood Feed adoption event!)

The second tallest of the group, Rey is nearly as big as Ranger - but personality-wise, he chose a completely different lane.

Affectionately known as "Mr. Goofy," Rey is playful, outgoing, and fully convinced that every person he meets is already his best friend. His signature one-up, one-down ear fits his silly, happy-go-lucky vibe perfectly.

He's also "velcro" in the best way - always close by, always part of the action, and always ready to make you laugh.

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.
