Benjamin

update 6/7/09 Benjamin is currently at Marion Animal Shelter Benjamin is a 9 mo old approx. 50 lb beautiful red dog. His heartbroken owner told us he adopted Benjamin as a little pup last year at Memphis Animal Shelter. He is outgoing and friendly. He is socialized with other dogs. He has lived with a child who loved him. He is housetrained.

Benjamin is a victim of a marital separation; his owner simply cannot move this dog to the apartment he can afford to live in now that his wife left.

Benjamin also needs a foster home! He is neutered and microchipped.

Please contact Lisa Trenthem at [email protected] or 901-276-7751 if you are interested in adopting or fostering Benjamin. 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.
