Doug

Great Pyrenees/Labrador Retriever

Male, Young

Attalla, AL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Meet Doug! Doug is a handsome 1-year-old Great Pyrenees/Lab mix with a gentle heart and a sensitive soul. Although his previous home’s DNA test labeled him as 100% Great Pyrenees, we know his mother wasn’t a Pyr—so he’s truly a unique mix! Doug has had obedience training, but he’s still quite skittish and needs a patient, calm adopter who can help him continue building confidence. Because of his timid nature, he is not suited for homes with children under 10. He does well with other dogs and cats and would thrive in a quiet household where he can feel safe and settle in at his own pace. Doug has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and heartworm tested negative. His adoption fee is $250. If you have a peaceful home, a gentle approach, and a heart ready to help a shy boy blossom, Doug may be the perfect match for you.January 21, 2026, 10:49 pm

Shug

Rat Terrier

Male, Adult

Huntsville, AL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

Shug was rescued from a shelter about 10 years ago. He joined our other 2 dogs (mini rat terriers). We loved on all of them. Shug watches TV and enjoys the sunshine on our back porch in our laps. He needs to be better house-trained, but we love him. We are 88 years old and moving to Assisted Living in February. We cannot take Shug with us as he would need to be walked outside and we won't be venturing outside much (I use a walker and my husband has Alzheimer's). The decision to give him up hurts so badly, but we don't have another option. Please adopt our Shug and give him a loving home!
