TASHA

 ADOPTED!
My sister and I were found wandering the streets. One of GAPR volunteers picked us up from the dangers of playing in the street and dogs chasing us. She posted signs to find our owners, but they never called her. That is ok, though, because we were sick and the other family never took us to the vet. We are now healthy and my sister Pasha has found her forever home. Now I need mine. I am about 8 months old, long and lean weighing in at 8 pounds. I am a very curious cat, like we are supposed to be. I keep my foster family laughing at my antics. Mom was laughing and fussing at me when she came home and found her bulletin board completely cleaned off. She had calendars, notes pictures and it was great fun getting those push pins in mouth, pulling, and watching the papers flutter to the floor. I am also a cuddle bug. I live with lots of dogs and cats and we all play together. I have a little trouble attending adoption days, so you may not see me there. Just fill out the application on the web page and my Mom will call you so you can come see me.
 

CHARLIE  

Adopted! 

Charlie is a wonderful cat. He is a domestic shorthair bicolor cat, weighs 9 lbs. and is 2-1/2 years old. Charlie and his brother Frankie were dropped off at the Olive Branch shelter when they were 6 weeks old. They came into our rescue in April 2004 as kittens. He is up to date on vaccines, is neutered and housetrained. Charlie is an absolute lover. When other cats are talking ugly he sits up out of the way watching. He gets along with all of the other cats and dogs and loves to be held and cuddled. He would love a home of his own.

LANDO       (Declawed in Front)

ADOPTED!

This gorgeous adult male neutered cat was rescued from death row at the Memphis Animal Shelter on 12/18/04. He was quickly adopted to a nice couple whom he lived happily with  as an inside only, single pet until  05/05/07 when his owners divorced and suddenly returned him to us when neither was willing to take him with them when they moved :(  Lando is now approximately 4-5 yrs old. He is the most AWESOME cat. He is big, gentle & very lovable. He is very affectionate and whoever adopts him will be very lucky to have him. He is a little bit afraid of dogs & other cats but we think he would  adjust to a calm, gentle friend.  He loves to come and put his paws in your lap when you are sitting down right before he jumps up into it. He is most definitely a lap cat. Why his previous owner dumped him at a kill shelter & then adoptive parents were able to give him up is a mystery to us. He is as perfect as a cat can be. This guy has now been shuffled around  from home to home and needs a family committed to caring for him for the rest of his life. Do not apply for this guy unless you are sure you can commit to him. He deserves it.

PONG

Adopted!

Hi, my name is Pong.  Everyone that sees my picture thinks I am small, but I weight about 35+ lbs.  I have been waiting for my forever home for almost a year now.  My sister Ping was adopted last winter and I miss her terribly.  My foster families have been great, but I am anxious to find someone I can call my own family.  I have a couple of faults.  I am very affectionate and when I meet someone I try too hard to make them love me.  I have a lot of energy, but if you let me get it out of my system I am happy to relax and sit at your feet.  I am housebroken and I get along with other dogs.  I LOVE CHILDREN!  It is hard to contain myself sometime because I just want to kiss them all over.  I promise to work on that.  I am heartworm negative, up-to-date on shots, and spayed.  I do have to have a secure privacy fence and will need to be kept indoors when my family is not home.  I am crate-trained so that shouldn’t be a huge issue.  Once I become secure in my new home, that will not be an issue anyway.

SADIE SYMBER

ADOPTED

Sadie is probably a Cocker /Beagle mix. She's got fuzzy blonde hair on her ears, face and under belly and fuzz on the back of her legs. She's short hair and most of it is fawn colored. Sadie has white paws, chest and belly. She's 28 lbs and a very loving dog. The vet says she won't get much bigger. She loves to give hugs and play. She's completely house-trained. She is pretty good with commands. She gets along well with other dogs, but not so much with cats. She loves to cuddle and give kisses. She's a bit of an escape artist and in full puppy chew mode. Because she has the interesting ability to climb fences or go
under them, she needs a very good back yard that she can't get out of. Sadie also needs a lot of chew toys. She has had all her tests and shots, but not her spay yet. I have 5 mo.of Heartgard for her. She received a clean bill of health from the vet as well. She hasn't had any abuse as far as we can tell. She hasn't any sore spots and she's not skittish at all. As a matter of fact, she's very good with people and incredibly friendly. With some light training and a loving family,  she would be the perfect pet. I found her hanging around my house  and the neighborhood. Several people wanted to call the shelter, so  I took her in  afraid someone would snatch her and she could get hurt or euthanized.

 

JACK DANIELS

ADOPTED

Jack Daniels is approximately 3 yrs old and stands 14 inches at the shoulder and weighs 40lbs. He may be a Beagle/Basset mix. A real couch potato, very loving, but unsure of himself with strangers takes a while to warm up, once you win his trust, you will be his world.  Lives with a cat and has improved tremendously about stalking her, the cat still catches his attention, but a verbal correction takes care of it. Sometimes just walks up sniffs her and walks away. As to people you have to earn his trust; once you do, there is such love and devotion there for you, he will be your quiet little shadow.  Jack was abandoned by his previous owners.  They were evicted so they just left the house AND the dogs behind; a kind  neighbor looked after them and called GAPR for help. Jack was the only one heartworm positive, now almost through his 2nd month of treatment, thanks to GAPR. So much he has gone through, and yet those hound dog eyes still look at me with love. He so deserves a forever home where he can again give all that devotion and love to his forever family.  Jack is housebroken and crate trained.

Moon

ADOPTED

Hello, my name is Moon.  I am approximately a year old now and I am a lab/shepherd mix female.  I am the sister of Star.  I am a very sweet girl, but a little shyer than my sister.  I get along well with other dogs and I love to play.  I am spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and I am on heartworm preventative.  We came into the rescue at about 6 weeks old and never found our forever home because people just overlook black dogs.  I am now being fostered in a home with my adopted sister Meg Ellen.  We are happy to be reunited as we started out in the same foster home, but we are really ready for a home to call our own.

MEG ELLEN

ADOPTED

 Breed: lab mix

Approximate age: 1 Year

Weight: 40 lbs.  

Meg Ellen and her siblings (Oprah Rose, a previous Wet Nose Dog is her sister) were born on Galloway Golf course last year.  She is now about 1 year old, weighs about 40 pounds and has patiently waited since being rescued for her forever home. Her last foster home had to quit fostering suddenly so she has been in boarding ever since.  Meg Ellen is a very sweet girl that is very lively and playful.  She gets along with other dogs and children and loves the outdoors. Meg Ellen has a lot of personality and would be a great addition to any family. She is crate trained and housebroken. Meg Ellen is a little shy at first but will warm up fairly quickly and can’t wait for her new family to find her.

KODA

ADOPTED

 
Hello, my name is Koda.  I am just as cute as can be with personality plus.  But don't let that fool you, I do have a mischievous side also.  I get along with other dogs.  I do have a tendency to try to exhibit my superiority over dogs smaller than me.  But if you just let me know that is not allowed, I get the picture.  I am heartworm negative, up-to-date on shots, and neutered.  And best of all, per my foster mom, I am housebroken and crate-trained.  Although, I do prefer not to be put in the crate, I can deal with it.  I am about 12 lbs.  I love to snuggle and love to be petted.  All in all, I would make a great companion for a couple of a family with older children.

HALLE

ADOPTED

Halle is an adult terrier mix. She is about a year and a half old and weighs about 8 lbs.  She is very sweet, but you must take it slow as she is a little shy in the beginning.  Once she knows you she is very loving.  She is very playful and is fine with other dogs.  She has not been around cats, but would think she would be fine.  She is also fine with kids, but they must be introduced slowly.  She is hw negative, up-to-date on shots and will be spayed on December 16th.

Subject: Cody/ Bruiser 

To: gapetrescue@bellsouth.net

 Addressed to Tammy and the rest of the wonderful rescue team: 

Cody (Bruiser) is getting along famously with our two cats. Last night he played tag with our youngest cat for a long while. They chased each other across the floor from one end of the place to the other. The cat always cheated by jumping on the bed. But a little whining from Cody and the cat would jump back down. Then chase was on again. We are already taking him out once every few hours to do his business. We also take him out if after a planned business trip he was unable to comply and then we see him getting antsy minutes later. He has some chew bones now and loves gnawing on them. I made sure they were ones he could handle well. He was taken out twice over night for doing his thing and I think was only able to go once during those times. We of course have the accidents to clean. This is a part of the deal in helping him get trained. But he is adorable and we already love him very much. He slept off and on most of the evening in the bedroom with us. We haven't taken any pictures of him as of yet. But I am sure we will very soon, as Xmas is around the corner now and a reason to bring the camera out. I just wanted to let you know how very glad we are that you saved him from euthanization and Cody is with us now. We also hope that sometime in the future we can adopt again. We do so love animals. 

Sincerely,

 M Stephenson

CHRIS ANGEL

ADOPTED!

This is Chris Angel.  He is about 3-4 months old.  He was hit by a car and his owners surrendered him all in the same day.  We rescued him and paid for a screw to be placed in his left leg.  The problem was his other leg was damaged also and he walked like a kangaroo and had to be taken outside to even use the bathroom.  Now is all healed (mostly) he is very loving and so soft.  He cannot get enough attention.  Loves all kids and toys are the best.  He will go get a ball and play tug of war with you or other dogs.  I am not sure what mix he is but he is starved for love and gets very happy when any attention is thrown his way.  His whole back of his body shakes with his tale.  He is looking for his forever home, now that he has made it through the difficulty parts of his life.

And he is crate trained but his foster family is working on the housetraining.

TYSON

ADOPTED!

Hi my name is Tyson I am a boxer mix who is looking for a family to call my own. I am 17 inches tall and weigh about 30 lbs. I am a playful boy who loves other dogs, but I know how to cuddle too. This is why I would be okay as an only dog or with another friend. I am extremely friendly and when my foster family first brought me home I did not have any accidents in the apartment. I would love to have a house and a yard to run around in. I also love to chew on rawhide and play with my toys. People say their favorite part about me is my floppy ears (they are expressive). I am crate trained and house trained. I have not been around any small kids or cats so I am not sure if I will get along with them (though I am sure it won't be a problem).

Guardian Angel,
 
I just wanted to update you on our new addition.  After Maverick died...I was not sure if I could ever go through that grief of losing another dog.  One day in October I was looking on the website and saw a picture of a beautiful yellow lab.  I sent a email to Debbie from China and asked her about it.  She gave me the name of the family fostering Molly.  I called Susan and we talked and she agreed to hold Molly for me until I returned from overseas.  She is beautiful and I am so happy and proud to be her new Momma.  She was very skinny but is growing fast.  I call her my little pony!!  She gets along so well with Delilah our other rescue lab.  She is the typical playful young lab that has to be watched!  So far she has ate the face off my wood bear and she redesigned of my antique alligator purse.  Chris our son had his stocking filled at Christmas missing the eyes and nose off his 23 year old stocking (Molly liked it too).  I'm sending a $50.00 donation through paypal to help cover the cost of rescueing another neglected dog.  Thanks for caring and giving of your time and money the way each and ever guardian angel worker does.  Without the caring souls of you volunteers there would not be happy people like me!
 
Thanks,
 
Rhonda Roberts

BUSTER TYSON 

Adopted!    

Hi, I am about 4 months old.  I am a male Boxer mix.  I was abandoned when my owner moved away.  Some Good Samaritans have been feeding me and making sure I was kept warm under the deck of the abandoned house.  I get along great with other dogs.  I am still a little scared and love to lay in laps.  I don't like to go outside as I am afraid that someone will not come back for me.  He is doing really well in the crate.  I will probably grow to be a bigger dog because I do have big paws.  I have a great temperament.  I am very grateful for my foster family and try to show them all the time.

The German Shepherds are HERE!!  We are Maximus “Max” and Annabelle “Anna”.  We were found stranded with another sibling but he found a home right away.

We weigh approx. 15 pounds and 2-3 months old. We are going to be big dogs but very sweet and gentle. We love to play and play well with others. We are great around dogs and children.

Ben  

ADOPTED

Breed: Shepherd mix

                       Age: Approx. 10 months on 1/12/06

      Height: 22 in. at shoulder  

Weight: 40 lbs.             

 

Ben’s previous owner could not take care of him when he was a six-week old puppy so he was on his way to a kill shelter. Luckily a neighbor called one of the Guardian Angels and told her about Ben’s plight. This cutie is now in foster care. Ben is up to date on vaccines, is on heartworm preventative and is neutered. He’s housetrained and crate trained. And what a smart dog – he knows how to sit and give five. He loves to play with children and other dogs but has not had the chance to be around cats yet. Ben has a nice temperament and he’s quiet most of the time but will let you know if someone is approaching his home. Please give this medium size love puppy a chance to win your heart and home!

MAGGIE  solid black)                       MAX (black and brown)

MAGGIE  & MAX are ADOPTED! 

 

My name is Maggie and my brother's name is Max.  We were rescued by a wonderful couple of women from Mississippi.  We were born in Mississippi and our mom let us run loose.  The neighbor warned her that he would shoot us if we came on his land again - and of course we did.  We are kids and we really didn't know any better.  Anyway, the neighbor shot our sibling and threw the body in the pond on his land.  He and his friends used the body for target practice during the Memorial weekend.  Another neighbor had to witness the horrible sight and was determined that she would not let that happen to me and Max.  She contacted Guardian Angel and through the rescue grapevine, a foster home miraculously came available.  We are now working on our social skills.  We had not much in the way of human contact.  I am coming around a little faster than Max - he is my little shadow.  We are 4 months old and we have had our vaccinations and been de-wormed and are scheduled to be altered in the next week or so.  We have already had our heartworm preventative.  Max and I will make loving, devoted companions, but we will need a patient home.  Hopefully, Max will find a home first as I think he will be lost without me if I go first.       Photo by Renee Scott Photography

 

WILLIE

ADOPTED!

Willie is the name.  I am an adorable six year old Dachshund mix. I have recently been treated for heartworms, neutered and vaccinated. I am a major sweetheart. I NEVER barks. I give hugs and I love to sit in laps. I am crate-trained and I make good use of our doggie door.  I do have one flaw, if you raise your voice to me it really scares me and I run away yelping.  So, I will need some patience with that.  I get along great with all dogs and cats and am wonderful with children. I will make a great family pet.

Kara  

ADOPTED!  

Kara was on death row in Tipton County in December 2006 when she came to her Angels completely unsocialized, very scared and bone thin. She would run away even if you looked at her! She’s up to date on vaccines, is on heartworm preventative and is spayed. Kara has gained four pounds and has a beautiful shiny coat. She is housetrained but not crate trained since there is not one in her foster home. She is a gentle dog and has not destroyed anything. She loves other dogs and cats. Kara has made positive steps since joining her foster home. Although she is still fearful of being held, she loves to be in the same room with people and is very curious about what you’re doing. Even as frightened as she has been she does not snap. Kara is not a yappy little dog and has very humorous ways. She acts as the activity director; every morning she gets the toys out of the dogs’ toy basket to start their day of playing. She often initiates wrestling matches with the two other big dogs. Kara will make a terrific little dog for someone with the patience to earn her trust and the attention she requires to be your best friend.  Please click here to fill out an electronic adoption form.

Harley is a wonderful boy!  He was rescued from the Greenbrier, TN shelter but shows no signs of why someone would possibly give up this wonderful boy!  He’s smart, obedient, very good with kids and other dogs (have not seen him around cats) and has lots and lots of love and energy to give to the right family.  He adapts very well to new situations and is very friendly to all who meet him.  One experience with how he just falls over and shows you his belly when you pet him will make you fall in love with him!

us. Charro is spayed, up to date on shots, HW negative and on preventative

does not damage anything, but does want to hide in a safe dark place.
