Just a young pup!! While he's with us, Oreo is working on socialization and confidence! He's in his awkward "teenager" phase where he's all limbs and still learning manners. At adoption events, Oreo has done super well with people & pups of all varieties! He's a special guy with a goofy-sweet nature. Now is the time to snag this young buck to train and socialize him! updated 05/08/26

Maryann needs a hero. Growing up in rescue is not living her "best life". She has not had it easy. She was adopted as a puppy, but when her dad got a new girlfriend, he decided that he couldn't be bothered with his dogs and so after a year, Maryann ended up back at the rescue. Now, she is hopeful that someone will see her sweet nature and beautiful colors and make her their newest family member.

Story
Meet Sawyer! At approximately months old, Sawyer has already had quite a journey. This handsome boy showed up as a stray, frightened and alone. He was found cowering under a house, clearly terrified and completely lost. Despite every effort to find his family, no owner ever came forward, so now Sawyer is looking for the forever home he truly deserves. Our veterinarian believes Sawyer may be a Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, and at about 55 pounds already, he's going to be a big, athletic boy! Sawyer has blossomed in foster care and is proving to be a wonderful companion. He is crate trained, knows the commands "sit," "down," and "stay," and has excellent house manners. He always takes care of his potty business when he goes outside. One thing that's become clear is that Sawyer was likely an indoor family dog before he was lost. He enjoys playing outside, tossing his toys into the air and chasing after them, but he doesn't like being left outside by himself. The moment he thinks his person is going inside without him, he'll race to the door, eager to be with his family. He loves toys and loves to take them outside to play with them. Sawyer is incredibly smart and observant. He quickly learns routines and pays close attention to everything happening around him. At bedtime, he settles quietly in his crate without a peep. In the morning, he patiently waits until he hears everyone else getting up before he's ready to start his day. This sweet, goofy boy has a playful side that will keep you smiling. He loves chasing bugs (as long as they aren't chasing him! 😊), and the frogs in his foster home's yard haven't had a moment's peace since Sawyer. He is currently being fostered in Mississippi but can be transported to you! Please let us know if you are interested in adopting this sweet boy and we will send you an adoption application! 💲 Adoption Fee: $450 The adoption fee includes: 🐶 Spay/neuter 💉 Vaccinations 🪱 Deworming ❤️ Current heartworm and flea prevention 📍 Microchip 🚚 Transportation to you via Rescue Riders LLC Pet Transport!

Story
🐾 Meet Atlas – Our Longest-Waiting Adventurer 🐾 Atlas is a 4-year-old Catahoula mix who has been in the rescue program for almost 4 years, and we truly don’t understand how this incredible dog is still waiting for his forever home. Atlas is great with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends. He is cat-friendly, but he can be a bit much for them since he always wants to play—so he’d do best in a cat-free home or one with a very tolerant, confident cat. This guy is active, athletic, and always ready for an adventure. Walks, outings, and staying busy are his jam, so he’ll need an active family who can keep up with his enthusiasm for life. Atlas does have some separation anxiety, but it is very manageable and continues to improve with routine and structure. And here’s the really cool part—Atlas has competed in THREE OneWorld Canine Biathlons and absolutely crushed it, even placing 2nd in one of his races! 🏅 This dog has both brains and brawn. 📍 Fostered in Huntsville, AL 🐶 Good with dogs 🐱 Cats with conditions 🏃 Adventure-ready & athletic Atlas has waited long enough. He’s loyal, driven, and ready to be someone’s best adventure buddy. If you’re looking for a dog who will truly be your partner in life, Atlas is your guy. 👉 Apply to adopt at www.forrescue.net Rescue: Friends of Rescue 💙

Story
FOSTER NEEDED — Big Boy Sawyer 💛 Sawyer deserves a chance, and his story deserves to be told. For nearly his entire life, Sawyer knew exactly where he belonged. He was adopted as a puppy and spent the next 10 years in the same home, loved and cherished by his family. Then suddenly, his entire world changed. Sawyer's mom became very sick and could no longer care for him or Sasha, another dog in the home. Sasha had originally been adopted from DDBBR as a puppy, so when their mom didn't know where else to turn, she called us. We agreed to take them both. We couldn't let a 10-year-old dog who had spent his entire life in a home suddenly find himself in the shelter system. Now Sawyer is safe, but he's in boarding. And that's not where this big senior boy belongs. Sawyer is about 75 lbs and is an incredibly sweet, loving dog. He loves being petted, loves being close to his person, and has one of the biggest smiles around. He and Sasha truly love being together. They can be adopted together, and we would absolutely love to see that happen. However, we do believe Sawyer could adjust to a home without her as long as his new family understands that he may have a longer adjustment period to transitioning to his new home. Sawyer will also need slow introductions to new dogs. He isn't aggressive, but he can be anxious when meeting unfamiliar pups and needs a little time to understand that they're safe. Sawyer has successfully lived around ducks and chickens in his previous home but we aren't sure about cats. Mostly, Sawyer needs someone to look at this big, gray-faced boy and realize that at 10 years old, his life isn't over. He deserves a couch. He deserves someone to sit beside. He deserves to know the comfort of a home again. We are desperate to get Sawyer out of boarding. If you can foster or adopt Sawyer—or have room in your heart and home for both Sawyer and Sasha—please reach out. A senior dog who has already lost the only home he's ever known shouldn't have to spend his days waiting in a kennel. Let's get this boy back into a home where he belongs. 💛

Story
FOSTER NEEDED — Sweet Sasha 💛 Sasha’s world has completely changed. Sasha actually started her life with DDBBR. She was adopted from us as a puppy and spent the next 8 years as a loved and cherished member of her family. She had a home, her people, and her best buddy Sawyer, another dog in our program, by her side. Then her mama became very sick and could no longer care for them. When she didn’t know where else to turn, she called us. Sasha was one of ours all those years ago, and we knew we needed to be there for her again. We also agreed to take Sawyer so these two senior pups wouldn’t end up in the shelter system after losing the only home they had known. Now Sasha needs a soft place to land. She is an 8-year-old hound, around 60 lbs, and she is about as sweet as they come. Sasha loves people, enjoys affection, and has spent her entire life knowing what it means to be part of a family. She has also lived around chickens and, of course, has spent years sharing her home with Sawyer. Sasha and Sawyer really love each other, and we would be thrilled to find someone willing to foster or adopt them together. But we also understand that taking on two larger senior dogs is a big ask. We believe they can be placed separately as long as their new families understand that being apart will be another adjustment after an already enormous change in their lives. At 8 years old, Sasha isn’t looking for anything extraordinary. She just wants what she had before. A home. A person to love. A comfortable place to sleep. Someone who will remind her that even though everything she knew changed, she is still safe and still very loved. Sasha spent her entire life as someone’s dog. We want nothing more than to give that back to her. If you can foster Sasha—or have room in your home for both Sasha and Sawyer—please reach out. These two deserve the chance to get back to the kind of life they’ve always known. 💛
