My story

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

🐾 Meet Coal! 🐾

Say hello to Coal, a handsome male Lab mix who’s ready to find his forever family! This sweet boy has a gentle heart and an easygoing personality that makes him instantly lovable. 🖤✨

Coal came from a difficult situation but hasn’t let it dim his spirit. He’s learning what it means to be safe, cared for, and part of a loving home — and he’s thriving with the attention. He gets along well with other dogs and would love a family who will continue showing him kindness and consistency.

Coal is being fostered in Huntsville, AL through Friends of Rescue, and he is available for transport to approved adopters.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a calm, loving nature, Coal might be the perfect match. 🐶💛

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.

If you have any questions about Friends of Rescue or our adoption process, feel free to reach out to us at info@FORrescue.net—we’re happy to help!

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.
