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.

Princess Leia (adoption pending)

Leia was born on May 4, 20226 and has one blue eye and one eye that is 1/2 blue. She is outgoing and friendly and loves belly rubs. She’s a smart pup who is athletic and treat-motivated so she will likely be easy to train. She is half German Shepherd with Husky and Catahoula Leopard dog making up the other half. She is already housebroken, crate-trained, and doing well on a leash. I’m going to guess she’ll land somewhere between 45 and 60 pounds (best guess).

Leia is microchipped, up to date on shots, doing well on a leash, and available for adoption through Team Memphis Rescue and Support.
