Amelia Bedelia

Meet Amelia Bedelia, a girl who truly lives up to her name with her quirky curiosity and heart of gold!

Amelia is the ultimate “adventure buddy” who is just as happy hitting the trails as she is curled up on the sofa for a marathon snuggle session. After raising her puppies and narrowly escaping a crowded shelter in Memphis, this sweet mama is ready for a “happily ever after” that is all about her.

Why you’ll fall in love with Amelia:

  • The “Mom” Energy: She has that special brand of “mom wisdom”—she’s patient, incredibly sweet, and has a soul that’s deep and devoted.
  • Pro Trekker: She is an absolute dream on a leash! Whether you’re walking downtown or through the woods, she’s a polite and steady companion.
  • Social Butterfly: Amelia loves making new friends (human and canine alike!). She’s the first to wag her tail at a stranger and loves a good romp with other dogs.
  • The Great “Hunter” (Sort of): Amelia finds squirrels, cats, and deer endlessly fascinating. She will try to chase them, but let’s be honest—she’s unlikely to catch them, and even if she did, she wouldn’t know what to do next!
  • Sun-Seeker: When she’s not on an adventure, you can find her in her favorite element: the outdoors. She loves “neighborhood watch” duty, bird watching, or simply recharging with a midday sun-nap.

Amelia Bedelia is smart, eager to please, and fiercely loyal to her people. She’s been waiting through a lot of “lost” chapters, and she’s finally ready to start the best one yet with you.

Amelia is about 3 years old and weighs 43 pounds. She is spayed, microchipped, utd on shots, and house-trained.

Zarko the Magnificent

Meet Zarko the Magnificent! 

At just 7 months old, Zarko is living up to his name. He’s a charming, “all-legs” kind of guy who is ready to cast a spell on your heart. While he’s a puppy, he’s got a surprisingly chill side!

Why Zarko is truly magical:

  • Brainy & Bribable: This boy is super smart and incredibly treat-motivated. Want to teach him a new trick? Just bring the snacks!
  • The Ultimate Cuddle Bug: Once he warms up (which happens fast!), he is a world-class snuggler.
  • A Polite Roommate: He’s already crate-trained and is this close to being a house-training pro. Plus, unlike many puppies, he’s not a “destroyer”—he’d much rather focus his energy on his favorite toys.
  • Social & Cat-Approved: Zarko is a great playmate for other dogs and—bonus!—he couldn’t care less about cats.
  • A Little Bit Shy, A Whole Lot of Sweet: Because he hasn’t seen much of the big wide world yet, he can be a tad timid at first. He’d love a confident dog sibling to “show him the ropes” or a patient human to lead the way.

Zarko is looking for a family to help him grow from a leggy pup into the magnificent dog he’s destined to be. If you’ve got a spare chew toy and a spot on the couch, he’s got a lifetime of loyalty to give!

Zarko is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and crate-trained.

Blarney Stone

Meet Blarney Stone, the “party on four paws!” 🍀

At just one year old and a perfectly portable 27 pounds, Blarney is a constant source of joy. With a tail that never stops wagging and a permanent grin, he’s the ultimate “yes” dog—always ready for the next adventure, whether it’s a hike or a trip to the local winery!

Why Blarney Stone is your lucky charm:

  • The Ultimate Adventure Buddy: He is awesome on a leash and would make a world-class walking, hiking, or even running partner.
  • A Total Socialite: Blarney has never met a stranger! He loves people, adores other dogs, and is a perfect gentleman when visiting stores or out on the town.
  • The Best of Both Worlds: While he’s “always ready to go,” he also has a fantastic “off switch.” He’s surprisingly quiet, knows how to chill, and is a gold-medal snuggler.
  • A Total Pro: No “puppy projects” here—he’s already house-trained and crate-trained!

Blarney Stone is the perfect mix of high-energy fun and low-key sweetness. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join you for a morning jog and an afternoon nap, you’ve found your match!
