My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Marmaduke is a big goofy lovebug! He adores children and other dogs. He is very curious about cats and chickens and is probably best in a home without those (or where he can be separated from them).

He is only about 1 year old and has been in rescue all his life. He had a medical issue as a puppy that required surgery and he is completely healed from that. He will do best in a home with a secure fenced yard, another dog or dogs to play with that are not tiny since he's so big, and respectful animal-loving children that will love him as much as he loves them.

If you are interested in Marmaduke, please fill out an application at our website: forrescue.net

He is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and could be available for transport but transport fees are on top of the adoption fee.

Additional adoption info

We have many wonderful dogs and cats eagerly waiting for their FORever homes!

Our adoption fee includes comprehensive, age-appropriate veterinary care: spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccinations, heartworm and flea prevention, and any medical care needed.

Our transport fee covers a comprehensive veterinary exam to obtain a USDA Health Certificate, which is required for interstate travel, as well as the cost of safe, licensed transport to your area.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our adoptable animals are fostered in loving homes throughout Huntsville, Alabama and the surrounding area. Because we do not operate a physical shelter, meet-and-greets are arranged by appointment only—typically after an adoption application has been submitted and approved.

For out-of-town adopters, we’re happy to offer virtual meet-and-greets to help you get to know your future furry family member before adoption or transport.

More about this rescue

Friends of Rescue is headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama with transport locations throughout the Great Lakes and New England. FOR is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2009.

Our mission is to save adoptable dogs and cats from overcrowded Southern shelters where limited space, minimal funding, and high intake rates often lead to euthanasia.

We are not professional trainers or animal behaviorists—just dedicated individuals working together to give these animals a second chance. Every pet in our program lives in a loving foster home and receives age-appropriate veterinary care while awaiting adoption.

Our ultimate goal is to match each animal with a committed, compassionate individual or family who will provide a FORever home.
