Good Dog Rescue of Memphis

Ahhh crap.

Well, I love animals and I'm always reading Good Dog's tweets on Twitter. All their pups are so cute. (I should probably stop reading them because I always want to adopt one of them and I know I can't)

Over Thanksgiving break, my old friend, David, had a tragic thing happen with his dog, Timber. He got out of the yard and was hit and killed on the interstate.

This is Timber.

I only met Timber a couple of times over the past 6 years that David had him, but I was so heartbroken for my friend when I heard what happened. I didn't even know what to say. I honestly like dogs more than a lot of people I know. It's true. Dogs love you no matter what. It kills me to think of dogs suffering or dying. I know it happens and it's part of life, but it still breaks my heart.

In honor of Timber, I'm posting this little boo here.

This is Zelda.

I'm so glad she was picked up off the road and I hope someone gives her a good, safe home.

"Zelda is a five month old dachshund mix. She is very sweet and a bit timid.
Zelda was found by a Good Samaritan running along the expressway (yes, INTERSTATE, multi-lane highway!). She was, understandably frightened to death, but gratefully ran to her Angel! The Good Samaritan contacted Good Dog Rescue Director, Lisa, who gladly took in the Holiday Waif. She is shy at first when she meets someone new, but will warm up quickly.

Zelda is a young puppy who needs a family that has a flexible schedule to help her learn her house manners. She gets along well with other dogs in her foster home. She is extremely playful with other dogs and has NO shyness towards other dogs. Zelda is spayed and microchipped. Zelda is doing well with other foster dogs and she loves to snuggle. She is in good health, has had her first shots and started on all preventatives.

AN ADOPTION FEE OF $150 IS REQUIRED FOR ZELDA.

Please contact Lisa Trenthem at ltrenthem@gmail.com or 901-276-7751 if you are interested in adopting Zelda. 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."
