My story

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

Ralph is a good ol’ boy! He is a hound mix, probably bluetick and Catahoula, who is about 8 years old and 60 pounds. He loves going for car rides and long walks but also snoozing in the recliner. (If you are already in the recliner, he will sit in your lap!) He has a dog sibling and gets along with her. Ralph must also be part chow hound as he loves food! Ralph would enjoy a home with another friendly dog to play with but please, no cats and only teenage children. Ralph is crate trained, housetrained, neutered, fully vaccinated, and up-to-date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Would Ralph be perfect for you? Email forrescue.net to meet him and find out!

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.

Ready to adopt? Visit FORrescue.net, click on "Adopt", then select the appropriate application to apply for the pet you're interested in.

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.
