22. Uno
Meet Uno,
Uno is such a sweet, gentle girl with an amazing personality. She loves giving kisses, cuddling, and spending time with people. She was wonderful with our 5-year-old son. She was gentle, respectful, and never jumped on him, which says so much about her sweet nature.
She also loves being outside and having fun, and she did great with our dogs! She was happy to hang out, play, explore, and then come back inside for some cuddles. She loves going walks but could use work on not pulling.

Uno really is the kind of dog who would fit so nicely into a family. She’s loving, gentle, playful, and just an all-around wonderful girl. We’re so happy we got to spend the weekend getting to know this sweet girl, and we hope her forever family finds her soon because Uno deserves all the love in the world!

25. Zuri
Meet Zuri: A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Safe Haven Zuri is trying so hard... she just needs someone to believe in her. After doing her job as a brave mama—giving birth to 8 puppies at Memphis Animal Services—it is finally Zuri's turn to be loved, protected, and cared for. Her past wasn't kind, and the world can still feel a little scary to her, but beneath her shy exterior lies a deeply gentle, sweet, and loving dog desperate for a second chance. We are urgently searching for a foster or forever home where Zuri can blossom. What Zuri Needs in Her Next Home Patience & Understanding: Loud noises like the wind or sudden movements can startle her.
Read more about Zuri
She needs a quiet home with a human who will let her go at her own pace. A Dog Sibling: We believe a home with another loving dog will help Zuri learn to be a dog and trust humans. A Safe Space: Zuri loves her crate and views it as her safe zone, quietly sleeping in her kennel at night right next to your bed. Notes From Her previous Foster: "She loves finding sticks and playing chase with my dog... She’s gentle and sweet, but has had an unfortunate past and sometimes has setbacks trusting humans. She needs patience and time." "Her crate was her safe place... She never had an accident, was never destructive, and just wanted to be near my dog. My heart breaks for her. She needs a special person with patience and love." How You Can Help Zuri Zuri is waiting, trying her absolute hardest, and deserves to know what a safe, forever love feels like. Please don't let this sweet mama be overlooked. Born 10/31/23 Apply to Foster or Adopt: projecthopearf.org

35. Quinney
My name is Quinney and I am the sweetest 4 month old puppy. I have been learning a lot with my foster parents and have been loving every minute. I was a little nervous of loud noises and strange things like Halloween decorations at first, but have been very brave and learned life isn’t that scary and is a lot of fun.
I learned to love cars (I’ll get in and out all by myself) and was able to calmly enjoy taking in the sights and sounds of a football game. Working on all the usual puppy things and did especially well at bath time and getting my nails done.
Read more about Quinney
I love to play with my foster sister and am great with other dogs. I especially love playing tug, with a flirt pole or anything that lets me interact directly with adults or kids. I’m less interested in playing alone and like to share. After play time, I love nothing more than snuggling in with my foster sister/parents. I even make sure to leave space on the bed for anyone who wants to join me. I am excited to keep learning and while these foster people are great, I cannot wait to meet my forever person or family!
