Boxer American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Bessemer, AL

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cash came from a shelter already, and I'm trying to avoid him going back to one. When I was with my ex we got him together, and my ex was not nice to him at all. My ex would punch him in the face when he was a puppy, and now he has some fear based tendencies to try to nip or bite someone as a warning because he goes into fight or flight mode when fast hand gestures are made towards his face. I have a baby on the way, and I never wanted to have to rehome him. With how he is though, I can't promise he won't accidentally hurt my baby. I just need him to find a beautiful forever home that can understand his past, and love him for him. PICTUTES WILL BE ADDED IN A FEW DAYS!!

Helena, AL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jett is fully committed to living life in fast forward and honestly would not know how to do it any other way. This guy is all about fun, zoomies, and making every single day an adventure. If you want a dog that keeps life interesting, Jett is your dude. He loves to play and play hard, is obsessed with water, and would be the perfect hiking and camping buddy. Trails, lakes, creeks, tents, muddy paws included. He is always ready to go and brings big joy wherever he lands. Jett is house trained, crate trained, and absolutely convinced the world revolves around him. He is smart, silly, and has a busy brain that needs both physical activity and mental stimulation. A bored Jett is a mischievous Jett, but an engaged Jett is pure gold. He loves other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine buddy who can keep up with his energy. He does great with kids, just expect some happy bouncing because personal space is not his strong suit. He is affectionate, social, and full of personality. Jett is looking for an active family who wants a dog that can hike all day, splash in the water, and then crash hard at your feet at night. Big personality. Big love. Big fun. Apply to adopt at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com Jett’s adoption fee is $300 and includes neuter, vaccines, microchip, and parasite prevention.

Willy

Dachshund Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 8 yrs

Helena, AL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Willy is an 8 year old dachshund mix with a story that proves sometimes the sweetest souls just need a little time to feel safe again. He came to Full Circle Rescue and Sanctuary after his owner surrendered him to the shelter, and to say he was overwhelmed would be an understatement. The shelter was loud, scary, and confusing, and Willy coped the only way he knew how by panicking and acting like a tiny chaos gremlin. Once he landed in foster care and realized the world was not, in fact, ending, everything changed. After a few weeks to decompress and rebuild trust, Willy showed everyone who he truly is: a gentle, independent little guy with a soft heart and excellent house manners. He is house trained, crate trained (though he would vote to abolish crates entirely if given the chance), and settles nicely into a calm routine. Willy is almost blind, but don’t tell him that. He navigates life just fine, confidently finding his way around and happily toddling through the yard and exploring the farm. He especially loves being outside, taking in the smells and sunshine at his own relaxed pace. He enjoys being brushed, gets along well with other dogs, cats, and even chickens. His perfect home would be quiet and predictable. Willy would thrive with a retired person or someone living a slower paced lifestyle who simply wants a loyal little companion nearby. Because he startles easily, a home without children is best for him. He is not needy or clingy, just happiest sharing space with his person and knowing he belongs. Willy has already done the hard part learning to trust again. Now he is just waiting for a soft landing and someone to love him for the wonderful little dog he is. Adoption fee: $300 Includes neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to give Willy the calm, loving home he deserves.

Beefy

American Bulldog

Male, 2 yrs 2 mos

Helena, AL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

30 pounds of pure chunkamunca goodness. Beefy is a pocket bully with a big personality packed into a compact little body. He has that irresistible squishy face that will melt you in about two seconds flat. Beefy is the definition of easygoing. He’s great with other dogs, does just fine around chickens, and is an all around chill dude who just wants to hang out with his people. He enjoys going for walks, riding in the car, and being wherever his humans are. If there’s a couch nearby, even better. He crates well and settles in easily, making him a pretty simple guy to live with. Beefy is affectionate, fun loving, and always happy to be part of whatever you’re doing. Like many dogs, Beefy prefers to enjoy his meals without interruptions and can be a little protective of his food bowl. His foster home is already working with him on this, and feeding him separately and leaving him alone while he eats is best. Beefy would do best in an adult-only home with someone who is bulldog savvy. Bulldogs are a special breed with their own unique needs, and he will thrive with someone who understands and appreciates all the quirks that come with them. If you are looking for a laid back, lovable little tank of a dog who will happily ride shotgun and keep you company, Beefy might just be your guy. 🐾 Adoption fee $400 Covers neuter, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and microchip.
