Story
Pickles is a lovable 5-year-old neutered mixed-breed who has been with me since he was found as a stray puppy in March 2020. He grew up on a large farm with plenty of space, but I recently moved to an apartment. He has been staying with my sister in her small backyard, and he needs more room and attention than we can give. He has started getting out of the fence and tearing things up from boredom. Pickles is sweet, people-oriented, great with kids, and gentle with other animals. He is a sensitive, slightly shy dog who gets excited easily but has a very soft, affectionate temperament. He thrives with calm voices, patience, and a predictable routine. Pickles does best with a fenced yard because he’s nervous on a leash and still building confidence. He is healthy, neutered, and looking for a home that can give him the space, reassurance, and love he deserves.

Story
Cocoa was rescued about 4 years ago. She is quite dominate and slightly food aggressive with other dogs. She is full of energy and very easily stimulated. She loves to run and wants to chase every bird, squirrel, or bee that she sees. She can be quite affectionate, and likes to sneak in the bed at night once I’m asleep. My ex-wife left her here about a year ago, and I just don’t have the time to give her the attention and stimulation she needs. The other dog in the last photo is Brownie, I have a profile for her as well.

Story
Brownie was found with her sister a little over 2 years ago. Her sister did not survive unfortunately. She is very wary and slightly aggressive towards strangers, but one treat is enough to change her attitude. She is very loving and gentle. She is very energetic and almost always jumping with joy when I get home. My ex-wife left her here a little over a year ago, and I don’t have the time to give her the attention and affection she needs. The other dog in the last photo is Cocoa, I have a profile for her as well.

Winston

Mutt Golden Retriever

Male, Young
Sylacauga, AL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Winstonwas abandoned with the rest of his litter soon after he was born. My sister in law found him along the road, and my husband and I decided to take him in. We had an older female dog and thought she could use the company. They got along well enough, but as Winnie grew up, he started letting more of his personality show. He’s now a very energetic and active 2 and a half year old. Though our older dog, Sadie, tried to keep up, she soon passed away leaving us with just Winnie. Fast forward a few months and I had my son, Elliott in December. Since then, Im afraid my husband and I have been unable to give Winston the time and energy he deserves. He loves playing and he can be a bit rambunctious. With an 11 month old now, its been a struggle to allow the two to be around each other much as Winston doesnt quite understand how big he is and how his playfulness could be a bit much for Elliott. Winston is a bit reactive around those he doesn’t know but with time, he warms to others.

Story
Martha joined us last summer, seeking connection, love, and growth, and has since blossomed into a resilient, housebroken, and kennel-trained companion with a passion for playing ball! She has since been up to date currently on shots and also been spayed. not only housebroken and kennel trained but also a connoisseur of watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, and popcorn! As a cherished member of our family, she deserves a forever home where she can thrive and reach her full potential. Although our household with five small Frenchies is too overwhelming for her, we have been dedicated to finding her ideal forever home, where shell be adored and cherished. she loves playing ball, receiving affection, and enjoying treats. If our household wasnt already full, we would have loved to keep her 🫶🏼.
