Memo is a precious little pup who recently arrived from our Texas rescue partner. They are playful and fun, and love to learn and use their brain too! They are still learning all about the big new world around them, and would love an adopter who is ready for all the stages that puppyhood and being an adolescent brings.

OTAT requires that all dogs 6 months and under be enrolled in a positive reinforcement training program within 2 weeks of their adoption at their adopter's expense. A $150 refundable deposit will be collected at the time of adoption, and refunded upon receipt of proof of enrollment in a positive reinforcement training program.

Memo's adoption fee is $350, and this little pup is excited to grow up in their forever home!
