Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Memphis, Tennessee

5/14/26: I took Emerald out today for some playtime and photos. He was standing at the front of his kennel wagging his tail and occasionally giving little barks to alert me that he needed pets!

He walked decently on the leash but would tug a bit, which is normal for a puppy his age. He is very petite and I wonder if he may be a bit younger than his listed age.

Outside, he was all about the zoomies and cuddles. He bounced around the yard and would sometimes visit me for cuddles before running around again. He was very interested in the dogs playing in the other yards and would run along the fenceline with them, while whining and play bowing. I think he would love having a dog friend.

He did jump on me a few times and has scratchy pup nails so I would recommend him for a home with older children or a family experienced with puppies. He may not be the most gentle dog at first but has a great temperament for learning. GOOD PUPPY!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
