Good with dogs,

Story

Five months old. Twenty-five pounds. Sheltie crossed with border collie. Coat so soft you'll find yourself reaching down to pet him without realizing you're doing it. Meet Dutch. He's on track to grow into a 40 to 45 pound adult. Smart in the way only sheltie and border collie crosses are smart, picking up new commands in a day or two and remembering them. The kind of dog who watches you to figure out what you're going to do next. If you've ever wanted a dog you can actually train, this is the one. Dutch is a Velcro dog. He wants to be near his person. Working from home, watching TV, walking room to room, he's right there. But he's not clingy in a needy way. When it's time to play, he's just as happy out in the yard with another dog, burning off energy and coming back when he's done. He's currently in foster with six foster sisters and one foster brother and gets along with all of them. If you've got another dog at home, he already knows how to share space. Dutch came to us after someone dumped him at the side of the road. That part of his life is over. What he needs now is a person who's done looking and ready to commit. If that sounds like you, let's talk. All of our adoptions are spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped.

Hank

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Pinson, AL

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Hank. 76 pounds of pit bull and pure tank of love. Someone dropped him off without a note and drove away. He should be wary of people after that. He is not. He still trusts every human he meets. Hank is active with a chill streak. He loves a mix of short runs and long walks, so if you want an outdoorsy partner, he is your guy. He loves car rides too. He is loyal and family-focused. He has been tested with big kids and does great. Someone home for part of the day will suit him best. When Hank claims you, he tells you so with outgoing playful gentle nipping. He does the same with other dogs he likes. It looks bigger than it is. It fades as you get to know each other, but you should know about it in advance so the first time you see it you do not read it as something it is not. He is laid back, but if another dog comes at him aggressively, he will defend himself. That is honest, not a red flag. Most dogs do this. Things we cannot confirm yet. He has not been tested with cats, so do not assume he is fine with them. We are not 100 percent sure on his crate training history. And he is hesitant on slick flooring, so a household with rugs and carpet will be an easier transition than one that is mostly hardwood or tile. If you have been waiting for a loyal, active, 76-pound pit bull who wants to spend the next decade making you his favorite person, Hank is yours. All of our adoptions are spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped.

Special Needs

Nova

Australian Shepherd Husky

Female, 6 yrs

Pinson, AL

Size

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

Details

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

NEED ADOPTOR OR FOSTER ASAP. Nova is about six years old. She is blind. Her current human, Haley, loves her with her whole heart and would have kept her forever if life had let her. Haley is pregnant. Due in July. No support system to manage a senior blind dog and a newborn at the same time. The easy answer would have been 'take her to a shelter.' We knew the shelters were full. A senior blind dog goes to the back of the line at any of them, if she gets in at all. So we did what AAF does. We set up a foster-of-record arrangement. Haley stays with Nova until the baby comes. AAF pays for her food, her supplies, her vet care. AAF actively looks for the right adopter. A local groomer donated free grooming so Nova is shiny and ready for her adoption photos. Here is what Haley wants you to know about Nova. She gets around. She is not slowing down. She still plays with her toys. She loves car rides. She loves cats. She gets along with other dogs really well. She is blind, not anxious. She moves through her familiar space confidently and adapts to new spaces if you give her time. She is housebroken. She does not bark much. What Nova needs is a patient adopter who has had a senior dog before. If you have a cat, even better. If you take road trips and want a quiet co-pilot, she is your dog. She still has plenty of life in her. Haley is not surrendering Nova because she stopped loving her. She is doing the harder thing. She is asking for help so Nova ends up where she belongs instead of in a kennel. If that family is you, let's talk. All of our adoptions are spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Animal-Angels Foundation is a Best Friends Network Partner, which connects us to the largest lifesaving network in the country. Our adoptable pets are also published to Adopt-a-Pet.com, the largest non-profit pet adoption website in North America.

Bella

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 6 mos

Pinson, AL

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bella is about 6 months old, white with a black patch over her left eye, and a Pit mix. She is playful, loves kids, gets along with other dogs, and is comfortable indoors and out. The photo of her perched in a baby high chair watching the room tells you exactly the kind of curious girl she is. She has lived in a fenced yard with her brother Rebel. She has not been tested with cats. Bella is still a puppy, so she needs training, structure, and a family ready for the work that goes into raising a great adult dog. We are placing her through Managed Rehoming and learning more about her as she settles in. She does not have to be adopted with Rebel, but they have lived together their whole lives. If you have room for both, that is the easier transition for them. All of our adoptions are spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Animal-Angels Foundation is a Best Friends Network Partner, which connects us to the largest lifesaving network in the country. Our adoptable pets are also published to Adopt-a-Pet.com, the largest non-profit pet adoption website in North America. Through our Petco Love partnership, every adopter receives a 20 percent off coupon for Petco supplies on the day they take their new pet home.
