I am a female, black and white Mixed breed. I weighed 49 LBS at intake.
The shelter staff thinks I am about 10 months old.
I am heartworm negative.Intake Date: Feb 06, 2018
Available: Feb 11, 2018
Intake Type: Stray/Field
A MAS volunteer who spent time with me said I was a calm, yet very very friendly dog that walked nicely on the leash. Although I'm almost grown, I still retain that puppy-like personality. I love being petted and will gently jump up against a person to get petted. He said I was a great great dog that would make a great pet.

Please meet Gloria! This beautiful girl came into the shelter as a stray. She walks nicely on a leash, and she sure will sit for a treat taking it nicely. Gloria loves attention, and she has the most beautiful soft coat. Gloria will sit right by you for a good rubbing. Gloria is about ten months old so still a puppy, and her id number is A301930. Miss Gloria weighs about forty-nine pounds, the thankfully she is heartworm negative! Miss Gloria is waiting at Memphis Animal Services to meet her new forever and ever family.

Breed information is not provided by this shelter. MAS hopes eliminating breed labels will increase the number of animals adopted by eliminating 'breed discrimination.' When entering information on this website the 'Breed:' field is required. All breed information I enter is an educated guess solely based on a photo of the dog.
I try to keep this information as vague as possible, usually entering by group instead of a super specific breed. Why? Almost all of the dogs at MAS are mixed breeds. Being super specific is not going to accurately represent their personality and it would be virtually impossible to do. There are 20+ specific types in the terrier breed group alone, ranging from the tiny Norfolk Terrier to the larger Staffordshire Bull Terrier (which is often lazily labeled a pit bull). Pit bull is actually the name given to types of dogs having certain similar features. See super complicated.
My advice? If you fall in love with a face, go to the shelter and visit with the dog. Ask the staff and volunteers questions. See if their personalities mesh with you and your lifestyle. If the picture you've fallen in love with doesn't fit? Ask if there is a dog whose personality does. Mixed dogs are so much more than the breed they kind of look like.
Remember that you furbaby's adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines, heartworm test, collar, leash, and a customized ID tag.
