At Our Latest Adoption Event

Saturday August 21 we were at the Hollywood Feed on Union Avenue AND Poplar Avenue, while on Sunday we were at Petco on Poplar Avenue. Several of our dogs found their furever homes. Read more about our happy tails.

Please join us at one or more of our next scheduled adoption events:

  • Saturday, August 28, 7:30-10:30am, Memphis Downtown Farmer's Market, Front Street and G. E. Patterson

Help us help our doggies stay healthy and get healthy yourself!

Do you need a reason to get fit? Do you need a reason to get out and get walking? Do you need a great group to walk with?
Well,  Real Good Dog Rescue has a fabulous volunteer opportunity for you!
We need dog walkers!
We are organizing specific times/places to bring the foster dogs to be paired with volunteers who like to walk. Most of our foster dogs reside in midtown and the east Memphis area.
If you would like to be involved, please email Lisa at ltrenthem@gmail.com
Put “Dog Walking” in your email subject line. List your contact info and the three best days/times of the week you are available!
We will schedule events based on volunteer availability.

Plea for Permanent Homes for Some of our Longer-Term Adoptable Dogs

We are desperate to find homes for some of our adoptable dogs who've been with us for a bit. We've seen their sweet personalities and know the love they can offer. But, for whatever reason, they aren't "showing well" online. For some, we've reduced their adoption fee to half price. For others, we are willing to send them with fee waived to their forever home. As with our other adoptions, persons interested in these fee waived or half-price canines must meet the same requirements for adopters. Read more here.

We have several great dogs & puppies who need foster (or permanent) homes. Read more and help us by distributing the flyer on that page.

Have a look at this week's Dog of the Week - Mabel.

Have a look around while you're on our site!

Thanks for visiting our website. We hope you'll find all you're looking for if you're ready to adopt a furry friend, interested in donating to a worthy cause, or think you might be able to temporarily help a dog or puppy by providing a foster home.

Real Good Dog Rescue could not do all the great work it does without your support. Please share our website and blog with your friends and family. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter if you're into those social communication channels.
