Story
Meet Emilio!! He and his siblings came into rescue well socialized, healthy, and happy puppies. He is a typical puppy, playful, fun, sweet, and just needs his FURever home! He knows how to use a doggie door already and rarely has accidents when he has access! He is still a puppy so needs basic / typical puppy training. He is used to being around his siblings and other big dogs so he will adapt to most any home. His mom was a black tri aussie/bc mix and dad was a blue merle aussie/bc? mix also. He has aussie/BC energy and tendencies so his new family needs to understand these herding breeds. Emilio needs one final puppy shot before he is ready to be adopted. For that reason, anyone interested must live near Huntsville, Alabama and be willing to use our vet to complete his vetting if they take him home before that final shot. If you are interested in meeting Emilio, please fill out an application at forrescue.net

She's good with kids, cats, and other dogs, and she isn't bothered by rain, thunderstorms, or loud noises. Remi is generally a quiet girl.   If you're looking for a loyal best friend who's affectionate, well-mannered, playful, and ready to be part of every family adventure, Remi is waiting to meet you. She's already the perfect dog—now she just needs the perfect family to love her forever.    Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT.

Story
Frisbee is about 3 months and 15 pounds of snuggly love Have you heard? Life is so much more fun when you have a puppy! 🐾 We keep you entertained, make you laugh, and make sure there’s never a dull moment. I’m ready for playtime, snuggles, and all kinds of adventures. Come on, pick me! We could be besties! ❤️🐶 This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pups at the event! The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm.

Story
**I am located in Georgia, but I can be transported north to you!** Name: Clark aka Clark Griswold Breed: Pit Bull/Border Collie Mix Sex/Age/Weight: Male/estimated DOB 03-2025/50 lbs House trained/Crate trained: Yes/Yes Dogs/Cats/Children: He’s been very friendly with pets of all sizes. He hasn’t been around cats yet. He has been in the same room with our guinea pigs and doesn’t bat an eye. Energy level: He loves to play, but when he sees my dogs settle down and rest, he will too. He loves to sun bathe with my male dog, Clint Eastwood. Before FAR/My history: Clark was on the euthanasia list at Bibb County Animal Shelter when he was rescued by a new FAR foster. He was very beat up, had terrible skin, was constantly itching, had lots of wounds, and was very bloody around his ears. Luckily he healed very quickly after getting rescued. Training status/Commands I know: Still training of course but he’s starting to understand what’s going on when we’re working on basic obedience. He is starting to learn what “down” means, “go to bed” (kennel), and "outside". Things I don't like: So far there hasn’t really been anything he doesn’t like. Things I like: He loves the recliner, other dogs, tennis balls, and sticks. When you sit down, he loves to come prop his head on your legs while you rub him because he loves his head rubbed. Ideal family/Home: Clark would definitely love to live with other dogs in his forever home. He would love to have lots of attention and to have a recliner! If you are interested in giving Clark a forever home, please visit the link below to fill out an application! http://fureverafterrescue.org/adoption-application.html It is best to submit an application through a computer.

Story
What’s up, future bestie? I’m Billy, a 20-month-old Dutch Shepherd/Border Collie mix (yes, I swear the Dutch Shepherd is in there somewhere). I’m here to tell you why adopting me will be the most chaotic—and BEST—decision of your life. First things first: I’ve got boundless energy. Like, forget the Energizer Bunny—I’m on a whole other level. Some might say I’m “on crack” (but legally, it’s just my personality). I’m basically a dog-shaped Velociraptor with an Olympic-level zoomie game. If you’ve got a dog who loves to play and can match my level of insanity, we’ll be BFFs in no time. 🦖🐾 Cats? Meh, not really my vibe—unless your cat is super dog-savvy and can handle my velociraptor energy.
Small dogs? Nah, they’re not ready for this jelly.
Big dogs who love chaos? YES, LET’S GO. Now, about strangers... they’re weird, and I’m not always sure how I feel about them at first. But once I figure out they’re cool, I’m all in. Just give me a little time to warm up, and I’ll be their favorite Velociraptor, too. What else? Oh, yeah—I LOVE to play. Fetch? Yes. Tug? Yes. Games that haven’t been invented yet? Also yes. I’m always ready to go-go-go, and I need a human who’s just as excited about adventure as I am. Hiking, running, or just wearing each other out in the backyard—sign me up. So, if you’ve got energy for days, a sense of humor, and no small creatures who’ll scream when I zoom, let’s do this. Adopt me, and I’ll make your life as exciting as a Jurassic Park sequel (without the dinos eating people, I promise). Adopt Billy—because life is better with a little chaos. 🐾🦴

Story
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 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 healed from that but needs 24/7 dog door access - he is doggie door trained. 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 we have determined because of his need for 24/7 dog door access he should be adopted locally in case an adopter cannot manage his condition and he must return to the rescue. We only want what is best for this amazingly sweet boy!

Story
Meet Clark! Clark is an adorable and sweet Blue Heeler that is approximately 5 years old. He has typical dense heeler fur that he loves to have you scratch. He loves attention and can be ok with other dogs but would prefer to be an only dog. He has been exposed to cats and will leave them alone. He is not recommended for homes with small children because he can be protective of his food, treats, and people. He is overall just a sweet, cuddly, friendly, and fun little guy once he warms up to his person / people. It will take time for him to adjust in his new home so his new people need to be patient and loving. If you are looking for an only dog to be your bestest snuggle buddy or have other dogs that are also aloof, please submit an application at forrescue.net He is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and any potential adopter must meet him here.

Story
Meet Emma! This sweet well adjusteud girl is ready to meet her forever family. Emma gets along well with other dogs and tolerates cats. She’s shy around new people, especially men, but if left alone, warms up quickly. Once past the introduction phase, she actually loves attention and will snuggle with you on the couch, even trying to sit on your lap! Because she’s an attention diva, she’ll do well as an only dog but doesnt have to be an only dog. So far, her only drawback is she doesn’t do well around young children. Their sudden movements make her nervous. Older kids, 10 and up should be OK. Emma is house and crate trained. She does well left on her own in the house, even for several hours or overnight. She walks well on leash, no pulling or lagging. Her energy level is medium to low. She enjoys laying on the deck watching for squirrels or bunnies. She’s a talker, and barks when excited or if she hears something, making her a good watch dog. Emma is spayed, up to date on vaccines.
