Story
Freddy is approx. 2 years old, male, Black Mouth Cur/Anatolian mix. He’s fully vetted, Neutered, on heart worm prevention and micro chipped.He’s looking for his forever home and boy does he deserve it. He’s been boarding at a local facility most of his little life and is ready to spread his wings. Freddy is a very energetic and playful pup. His favorite is fetch. He would be a great companion for someone who likes to take long walks, hikes…somebody with his high level of energy!Please consider giving this young man a home. Probably best if no small children in the household as he is a little rambunctious. Since he is so athletic, he could jump a standard chain link fence or a low standing fence so a privacy fence would be ideal for him or someone committed to leash walking/hiking on the daily. He has had a week of in home one on one training and would love to find someone that could reinforce that.Please apply online for him at madisonarf.org

Story
Age: 5 years 6 months Why do you need to rehome Nova? She's very aggressive with my other female dog, I've done training. She's on trazadone and still fights leading to many vet visits costing me thousands. It's not fair for her to remain in a home that she's not happy in. How does your pet get along with dogs/cats? Not females Does your pet have any behavioral notes (digs/climb fences/food guarding/toy guarding, etc)? Toy guarding with other dogs. We call her the fun police when other dogs at home are playing, she gets worked up and barks at them a lot. I think she would thrive in a home with no pets. I love Nova so much she had no training when I adopted her. She's come a long way, but I can no longer care for her. My physical health is declining as well. I can't keep breaking up these fights. She's such a cutie I call her my little moo moo or derp lol. She loves cuddles, kisses, scratches and just being with her human.

Story
Rusty is a very fine and distinguished dog. He was rescued from Decatur Animal Services by my MIL. He has been an excellent companion for her the past 4 years. His age seems to be 5-6 YO. Our MIL has been placed in a nursing home and Rusty was unable to follow. He visits the nursing home every Sunday and is a crowd pleaser due to his laid back personality and demeanor. He loves front porch sitting, riding shot gun, naps and long walks. He does love toys and plays well with other dogs. Please note that he came to us as a dog that was the center of attention not only to my MIL but to the other elderly apartment clients. He was spoiled. Perfect match is someone who is somewhat active but knows how to relax. Willing to travel to help Rusty find his perfect person.

Story
Daisy is a great dog. We took her in for this elderly lady who could no longer care for her. Unfortunately, she doesn’t do well around very small children (maybe 3 and under), and we have a two year old and about to have a baby. She is very scared of men! She does well on her leash and she potty trained. She is a very calm and laid back dog that just likes to get pets and lay around, although she loves walks, too.

Story
Prefer only local Madison and Huntsville residents. Looking for a Co-owner kind of situation, if it makes sense, or even that's an option. She is the sweetest and most obedient dog anyone could ask for. She is very smart and listens well, and learns quickly. E.g.: Within 3 weeks, she understood that she was not allowed in my kitchen; now she sits outside and waits quietly. She is over 13 months old and is very energetic. Looking for a family who can take her out for walks, fenced backyard MUST. She lived with her brother for the first 12 months of her life, so iam sure she is good with other dogs. My daughter really wants to keep the dog (and so do I, honestly), but my schedule has become very hectic, and I may need to travel internationally for personal and work-related reasons. Looking for someone to co-own (alternate week). Can be discussed in details if anyone interested

Rhodesian Ridgeback American Pit Bull Terrier

Story
We’re looking to lovingly rehome our dog due to an incompatibility with other animals in our home. She is excellent with children, very well trained, affectionate, and thrives with people. She does best as the only pet, as she is animal-reactive and does not get along with other animals. This is not something we want to change or “work through” — she deserves a home where she can relax and be the only focus. She would be a wonderful companion for a family or individual who wants a loyal, trained dog and does not have other pets. A small rehoming fee will apply to ensure a responsible match. Please message with a bit about your home and experience with dogs.
