Blues City Animal Rescue Blues City Animal Rescue is a foster-based dog rescue organization located in Memphis, TN, serving the Midsouth, Midwest, and New England.

Our mission is to help foster, nurture and care for unwanted dogs and puppies until they can find their chance at a new, wonderful life. Blues City Rescue is a not-for-profit rescue program whose primary purpose is to relocate dogs and puppies from the rural south to the Midwest and New England, where overpopulation is not as dire. Our goal is to help clear crowded shelters in the south, help dogs who have been dumped, dogs with medical emergencies…if a dog needs help in any way we do our best to get them the care they need. The goal is to place as many dogs and puppies in new homes where they will have the most wonderful lives and become part of a new family. Blues City Rescue is entirely volunteer based. All of our adoptable animals are in foster homes until they find their perfect adopter. All dogs come from various backgrounds – abuse, neglect, homeless, injured, unwanted, unloved, scared, alone – but they are all given the necessary love and attention they need while they wait to find their fur-ever homes. Blues City Rescue transports and travels to the Midwest all the way to New England via RescueVet transport several times per month to transport our adopted animals to their new homes.

💍 WHEN YOU GET ADOPTED, YOU DON’T JUST GET A FAMILY… YOU GET TO BE PART OF THEIR BIGGEST MOMENTS! 🥹❤️

Remember Mira, now Juniper? Adopted on Memorial Day 2025, this lucky girl just got to witness her parents’ wedding in Colorado… and even signed their marriage license! 🐶💒🐾

Her family says she’s been the greatest addition to their lives, and they couldn’t imagine life without her.

From rescue pup to official wedding witness — Juniper, you hit the jackpot! 🥹

🐾 DROPPED OFF BECAUSE HIS OWNER WANTED TO GO OUT OF TOWN… NOW HE’S SOMEONE’S WHOLE WORLD! ❤️

Pete’s family has a little pupdate for us, and our hearts can’t handle it! 🥹❤️

“Pete has been a wonderful addition to our family. My wife and I love him so much and can’t imagine life without him! He and Rocky have each other’s backs. If one barks, the other comes running! 😂 Pete taught Rocky to lift his leg to p*e, and Rocky taught Pete to give high fives for treats. And Pete? He’s a total toy hoarder who takes every toy to bed and sleeps on top of them! 🧸🐶

He’s living his BEST life! Their loss, our gain. Thank you for fostering him and giving us this beautiful gift of a son!” ❤️

THIS is why rescue is worth it. Pete didn’t just find a home; he found his people, his best friend, and a family who can’t imagine life without him. 🏡💕

🚨 HE FOSTERED HER… THEN PAID TO GET HER BACK. 😂🐾❤️

Yep. You read that right.

And honestly? That tells you everything you need to know about Patrick. 🥹

🌟 Meet Patrick, our Foster Spotlight of the Month! 🌟

Patrick has been opening his home to dogs in need since 2019, and along the way, he’s learned that fostering is equal parts love, patience, happy chaos… and sometimes becoming a foster fail. 😉

🐾 Fostering since: 2019
🐶 Pets: 4 dogs + 2 cats
❤️ Favorite part: Seeing each foster’s unique personality
💔 Hardest part: Saying goodbye
🏆 Specialty: The wild ones AND the shy ones who need time to open up!

His very first foster was Dolly—and yep, she became a foster fail! She’s still with him today and will be 8 this December. 🥹

His best advice for new fosters?

“Be patient. They’re just trying to navigate life, just like we are.”

And then there’s Toodles… She was supposed to go to another foster in Maine. But after two weeks, Patrick realized he couldn’t live without her and paid to bring her home. 😂❤️

When he’s not fostering, Patrick enjoys puzzles, donuts 🍩 and Las Delicias.

Patrick, thank you for opening your home and heart to so many dogs. We’re so lucky to have you! ❤️

🎉 Help us give Patrick a BIG congratulations! 🐾
