Memphis is a 2.5-year-old Lab mix with a heart of gold and energy to burn! Memphis finds herself looking for a new adventure after her previous owners surrendered her to prepare for a new baby. This vibrant girl is a literal powerhouse of potential-she's strong, spirited, and has a "go-go-go" personality that is looking for an equally active partner to help her shine.

Memphis is a "blank slate" in the best way possible. While she's still learning her manners-she tends to pull on the leash and expresses her excitement with jumps and mouthy play-she has the classic Lab-mix desire to be right in the middle of the action. Because she reacts strongly to other dogs (even her own reflection!) and has never lived with other animals, she's looking to be the sole queen of her castle, or an owner who is willing to allow her to slowly and safely learn to love others as much as she is loved.

With a patient leader who is ready to invest in some training, Memphis is going to be a world-class companion.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
