Story
Ekko, is a nice dog and a goofball. He is active and would like some interaction. BUT he has some problems. He owns stuff and he wants to keep it. This dog needs to get to know and trust you, so no kids, cats and needs experienced adopters who have knowledge about resource guarding. Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only. We do require a secure fenced-in yard to adopt our larger dogs.

Story
Hi I'm Rosie! I'm an active 5 year old gal who loves to go for walks with the volunteers. I'd love to have a person who could spend time to bring me to training and help me learn all the things I didn't get to learn when I was little. Now that I'm an 'adult', I know just what kind of family would be best for me: since I can be a bit picky with other dogs, and guarded with my space, so I'd be best as the only dog in the family. Cats are probably not a good idea either! Even though I have a couple of special living needs, I'm a great gal who just needs a family to prove it to! When I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, and the most guesses were that I'm a Boxer mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what I am, I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed!! **Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only. We do require a secure fenced-in yard to adopt our larger dogs. Here's what the Ark volunteers say about me: Rosie is a very active dog and is protective of her space. She will do best in a home with someone that is active. She would benefit from some dog training. She needs to be in a home without any other dogs. She walks on leash well most of the time and loves to run and play. She is a good snuggles!

Story
Hi I'm Ruby! I'm a happy and active 5 year old gal who has Personality Plus+++!! I'm a bit on the petite side, just about 40 pounds. I absolutely love to go for walks with the volunteers, and I always make them laugh because I just MUST carry a toy with us as we go! I'm well behaved for my baths and even know a few commands! I do love people above all else, so I'm the kind of gal who doesn't want to share her people with others, so I'd do best with just me and my humans in our home. But the up side is that I'd get to give my family 100% of my affection and spend every second making them happy and laughing too! Here's what the Ark volunteers say about me: Ruby is a very sweet girl. She will need to be an only dog. Ruby loves a bath and knows a few commands. She really would just like to be your cuddle buddy. Even though I have a couple of special living needs, I'm a great gal who just needs a family to prove it to! When I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, and the most guesses were that I'm a petite American Bully/Terrier mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what I am, I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed!! **Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only.

Story
Hi I'm Skye! See that big smile of mine? Well, I wear that big smile whenever I'm around my human friends - I just LOVE my humans!!! I'm also a pretty expert tail wagger and if you give me a belly rub, I'll follow you anywhere! Best of all - I'm 100% housetrained!! At 3 1/2 years old and about 45pounds, I'm a wonderful age and size to fit right next to you and watch a good movie, because I love to be mellow and cuddle! I'll even let you pick whatever movie you want - all I need is to be your only movie buddy, I don't like cats to cut into our time together. When I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, the most guesses were that I'm a Staffy Bull Terrier Lab mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what I am, I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed!! **Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only.

Story
Hi, I'm Cody! I'm a pretty handsome special kinda fella! I have a bit of a silly side, but know when to get down to business partner (as you can see in my Sherriff uniform picture!). I'm friendly and active guy, and just love to play with toys with my volunteer friends and I especially like it when they take me for walks! Being a mature guy, I know what I like, and I like people! On the other hand, cats I'm just not too fond of. As much as I love the people here at the Ark, I've been here a very long time just hoping to have a family of my own. I have food allergies, but that's not a big deal, I just need a certain kind of food and I'm good to go! Way back when I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, and the most guesses were that I'm a Hound/Retriever mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what I am, I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed!! **Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only.

Story
Hi I'm Zoe!! I'm a pretty brindle gal, just about 4-5 years old and a fit 40 pounds. I've had a bit of a rocky start in life, not because I'm a bad girl, but because not everyone is as kind to us fur-kids as they should be. I saw a T-shirt on someone visiting the Ark that pretty well sums me up - it said 'I like dogs more than I like people'. Well, I'm the complete opposite - I love people more than I like dogs!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I do like some dogs, but some I just don't have any patience with, and I prefer women to men most of the time but I do make exceptions! I'm not a gal who wants to live in the past, I just need someone to love me the way I deserve to be loved, focus on the future with me and not the past, and I promise I'll be a love-bug forever!! When I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, and the most guesses were that I'm an American Staffy mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what I am, I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed!! ** Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only.
