This pair of boxers need a foster or adopter. They are currently in Paragould,AR. The black is a six year old male and brown is female. Both are spayed and neutered. If we can get them a foster home in Memphis we can post for New England adoption. Please email [email protected] if you can foster or adopt

Update: Have foster for the golden retriever and the golden doodle. Nothing for the shiba. I picked up another female who is a doodle as well. So if you applied to foster a doodle I will be in touch!
Three dogs I can take responsibility for if I can find fosters. Shiba Inu is a young female approx 8 months old and 16 lbs. Apparently this breed is intelligent and aloof and best placed in a home who has had breed experience. All dogs are female. Golden retriever is an older female weighing 60lbs. Doodle female is 10 months and weighs 45 lbs. If any of these dogs can be fostered in Memphis,TN or small radius from Memphis, please email [email protected]

Madison,TN near Nashville. Please share to rescue in that area!
Please read for contact person if you can help:
Quick need! Trying to avoid euthanasia 😭
This is Apache (black and white), spade and up to date on her shots. Her brother (gray) is named Cochise, is not neutered but is up to date on his shots. Both are 6 years old.
My mother-in-law lives in Madison, TN near Nashville. She is in her 70s and her husband unexpectedly passed away in October and left behind these two bully breed dogs that she cannot physically take care of because of having back surgery. She's moving to GA before Christmas and needs to re-home the dogs as she can't take them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My mother-in-law is Dara Talibah. She can be contacted at [email protected] 615 830-5350

The dudettes created quite a stir at novel today! Peggy sue and Maggie may met their new families. Loretta hung out with us too and she usually doesn't like other dogs but she seemed to like the puppy Layla.

Posting this as a wake up call for those who assume their kids are gonna take care of the pets when you pass..... make a solid plan that includes vet records and financial means for someone else to care for the pet. "owner surrendered" dog at MAS, "inherited pet"

Peggy sue is here for a "commercial break" until the next adult pet gets here!

She will be there til about 4 today

I'm so grateful to have received donations today for Giving Tuesday. I feel that this rescue has really been blessed this year; we've had plenty of high medical expenses but our bills are paid and we are ready to help others. Thank you so much for your support and care. Happy Holidays to all.

Here is an update on Ling; her foster mom is calling her Sasha. We believe she is a heeler/rat terrier mix, weighs 20 lbs.
"She is dainty. She is cheeky. Introducing her eminence Sasha of Memphis. This 7ish month old with soulful eyes loves treats,cuddles and naps. She is a smart cookie who learned ‘sit’ in a day and is housebroken plus crate-trained. I call her ‘faux-graceful’ and is a source of daily amusement in our household. Though she tolerates her grumpy foster brother,I think she would prefer being the only fur baby..at least for now. If you or anyone you know would like to add a dose of Sasha to your/their life,please apply to adopt at real good dog rescue."

Or maybe they are rat terrier/ heeler mixes? They weigh 16 and 22 lbs.and are estimated to be seven months old.Ming has the split face and brown markings. Ling is black and white with patch on both sides of face. I need a foster for one or both. Please email

This is an FYI for people who are sending messages to this rescue thru facebook. Facebook looks at non profits as BUSINESSES and they switched business accounts to META. I no longer have practically ANY management tools that function. I cannot see comments on any of the posts without looking on my phone.I prefer to use my desktop computer cause it is easier to access info and photos from multiple sources when trying to post a dog. I cannot answer messages sent to the page at all. This is why I continue to post my email address if you want to get a response please email [email protected]
If any other rescues have figured out how to get around some of the Meta crap please let me know how to do it.

Good news! Dobby is a foster fail! Thanks to Mark and Gabe, Dobby seems so happy!

This short legged cutie is a pit male, two years old and in danger of going to Memphis Animal Shelter very soon. His owner lives in an apartment and works two jobs. "Shorty" is kenneled A LOT. He also needs some basic vetting to help with his skin, very pink in a lot of places. Nice dog, not raised with other dogs so would need to introduce slowly. I estimate 30-40 lbs. Im willing to cover his neuter and vaccines/heartworm test at Spay Memphis. If you can help EMAIL ME [email protected] or to adopt please complete the adoption application at realgooddogrescue.com/adopt

11/06/2023

Southaven,MS: these two beautiful dogs need a new home. Their owner has moved to an apartment and the dogs are no longer welcome. Flo is the black dog, male, around 70 lbs. DNA results: shepherd, aussie,collie mix. Both dogs 6 or 7 years old. Flo loves a frisbee and loves to run, is crated in the house. Drogo is the yellow dog, male chow/lab/german shep mix. He is gentle and loves to cuddle and is low energy.
These dogs need a rescue ASAP. Please email [email protected] for contact info

Update:someone who already knows these two dogs has stepped up to foster to adopt.
Memphis,TN: we've been asked to help rehome two senior chis, both male, 11 years old. They are half siblings who were adopted together at 8 weeks of age. Cassanova is slightly larger, he is about 7 lbs. Leonidus is the little bug eyed one, about five lbs. They are crated separately. The family has children now and the dogs dont want to play with the kids and spend too much time in their kennels. The owner feels there is a more compatible home for them elsewhere and I will do my best to find that place. Negative comments are not helpful, not welcome and your comment will be removed. I'm only interested in serious adopters who follow up with an application. If interested, please apply via realgooddogrescue.com/adopt
