Story
Since he is heartworm positive because his owner didn't give him monthly heartworm prevention, MARF is paying for the 30 days of doxycycline with steroids to begin killing off the heartworms and for the proheart shot (which he's had).The adopter will have to go back in 6 months for the next proheart shot and be responsible for that one and another heartworm test. Hopefully he'll be heartworm free after that! So you'll need a good vet reference.We've had X-rays done and there's no murmur or anything like that.HEARTWORMS ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS!!This is the write up from the shelter where he was going as a stray. I couldn't have said it any better because they have an awesome writer! Of course it's been altered a bit since we've had him in foster.If you're on the hunt for a senior small dog, please make sure to check out Preston.Preston was found roaming all by his lonesome here in Huntsville. He was found with overgrown nails, covered in mud and with mats throughout his body. This poor boy has definitely been through it and has realized since arriving here that he isn't cut out for the stray dog life. He'd rather be on the sofa with you than out running the streets.If you're looking for a pet that likes to cuddle, you'll definitely find that in him. From what the shelter observed, Preston does not care for toys or treats. The best reward in his eyes is to be close to you. He is pretty laid back and not very energetic at all, so he might be a good fit for a home that can't have a more busy dog at their feet. We believe he is a dachshund mix, and due to his medium length fur, will need a home that can provide consistent grooming to help keep him comfortable. Preston is estimated to be around 10 years and 12 lbs. A standard long hair dachshund blend (with what, we have no idea).He does go outside with the other dogs, although sometimes he will have a poop accident in the house so pee pads are suggested. He's a complete lap dog and a sweet lovable baby boy who only wants to be loved and to give love. All dogs adopted from us are altered, microchipped, heartworm tested, given rabies vaccine, bordetella, distemper parvo booster, flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention. (I have since found out that the owner gave him away before she passed away and his name might be Johnny, if it's actually the same dog. The shelter records show he's 7 but I changed them to 10 after receiving that message).You must apply at madisonarf.org to adopt and have an excellent vet reference.Adoption fee is $150.00

Story
Kimmy is a senior citizen who has absolutely no interest in starting over and becoming a nicer person. She has her opinions, she has her boundaries, and she would like you to respect both.Kimmy came to us after biting someone who tried to help her, so let`s get this out of the way now: Kimmy is not a dog you pass around at family gatherings. She is not going to greet your children with kisses. She does not want to meet everyone you know. And she certainly does not want your neighbor, your cousin, your Uber driver, or some random dude trying to pet her.Kimmy is a one-person dog. She wants one human. One. That`s it. Once Kimmy decides that you`re her person, suddenly she`s acting like she didn`t spend the first part of your relationship threatening to file a restraining order against you. She`ll seek you out for affection. She`ll happily let you pet her. She may even climb into your lap and settle down for a cuddle.Kimmy is also potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is perfectly capable of being a respectable little old lady when she isn`t busy reminding everyone to stay off her lawn. She needs an adult home with no children and an adopter who understands that trust isn`t going to happen overnight. Her future person will need to respect her space, pay attention to her body language, and give her time to decide that you aren`t actually terribleKimmy is not rated E for everyone, and she prefers it that way.If you`re an experienced adult looking for a senior dog with a little attitude, a lot of opinions, and the potential to become your extremely loyal personal shadow once you`ve earned her trust, then please come meet her. Kimmy is estimated to be around 11 years and weighs 10 pounds. All animals adopted from Huntsville Animal Services are microchipped, appropriately vaccinated, spayed/neutered and given a 30 day flea/tick preventative.Ready to meet Kimmy? Stop by 4950 Triana Blvd SW in Huntsville, Alabama. No appointment is necessary to meet our available animals. All adopters must be 19 years or older and be able to provide a valid ID.

Story
Sparky is an 8 year old Chi-Wienie that weighs 12 pounds.  He lost his home thru no fault of his own.  Sparky needs time to warm up to new people.  He is friendly and sweet with people he knows, but might hide from those he doesn't know yet.  He is potty pad trained and crate trained.  Sparky loves to sleep covered up in a blanket and rolled up like a burrito.  This boy is a silly, funny little clown, that needs a quiet home without a lot of noise.  An older person would be preferred.  He is neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm and flea preventives.  Sparky's adoption fee is a donation to the rescue in the amount of $300.August 22, 2026, 1:17 pm

Story
Don’t let his 8-pound size fool you—this little guy is tough, spunky, and full of personality! Scrappy is a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t bother the cat. He absolutely loves his toys and, when playtime is over, his favorite place is right in your arms. ❤️ He may be tiny, but he has a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! This adorable little guy is ready to bring lots of fun, cuddles, and love to his forever family.
