Story
Freddy is not just a dog, he's an experience lol. He's also still basically a puppyA blend of Black Mouth Cur/Anatolian mix, with a little bit of maybe catahoula and Alabama brown dog thrown in for good measure. He’s fully vetted, neutered, on monthly heart worm, flea and tick prevention and micro chipped.He’s looking for his forever home and boy does he ever deserve it. He’s been in boarding at a local facility most of his big life and is ready to spread his wings with a family who loves him. 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. But he does know how to mind!!! He's been through training and will listen to someone who is Alpha.Please consider giving this young man a home. Probably best if no small children in the household as he is a little rambunctious, although he likes kids. He does like to mouth since he's still a puppy. A big puppy.Since he is so athletic, he could jump a standard chain link fence or a low standing fence so a 6 ft privacy fence would be ideal for him or someone committed to leash walking/hiking on the daily. A few times 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.His fee would never cover what we've put into him, so his he has been sponsored by someone to the RIGHT home.Please apply online for him at madisonarf.org

Chloe is an absolute gem of a dog; sweet, spirited, and full of love. She has a gentle, calm presence that makes her a joy to be around, yet she carries just enough energy to keep life fun and lively. Whether she's curling up beside you on the couch after a long day or eagerly soaking up every bit of attention you'll give her, Chloe knows how to make a house feel like home. WHAT MAKES CHLOE SPECIAL A loyal companion. Chloe is deeply bonded and devoted to the people she loves. She thrives on closeness and will happily follow you from room to room. Quietly confident.

Story
She was recently cat tested and couldn't have cared less...Prissy Missy was found in a parking lot, dumped by a cruel someone, so she didn't have the best beginning at life, as a lot of them and we certainly want to change that for all of our babies! We want to make them forget their past and have the best future and forever after. She is a little timid with new people but warms up quickly, does not like small children in her face, so she would do best with older children who have learned how to act around dogs since littles are still learning.She does love to play but she also gives the best hugs in all the world and loves to snuggle in your lap and would love to watch TV with you on the sofa. You have to make sure that she doesn't pee in the floor when she doesn't get enough attention!Apply online to Foster or adopt We furnish everything for Foster homes. Adoption fee has been sponsored. MadisonARF.org is where you will find the application for both.

Story
Amila is a 2½-year-old Pit Bull/Chihuahua mix who was given to me by my mom. She has a sweet personality and is very affectionate. She’s a little clingy because she loves being around her person, but she’s also calm, playful, and enjoys relaxing just as much as having fun.I’m looking for a loving, stable home where she’ll get the time, attention, and care she deserves. She would do best with someone who can give her plenty of companionship and make her a valued part of the family.

Reno

Australian Shepherd Poodle (Standard)

Male, 7 mos
Madison, AL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Reno is so very sweet and has been raised around children, other dogs, is active as most puppies are but he is a mixture of herding breed with lots of energy and poodle, both being very smart so he's willing to learn. He is not an alpha dog, he's pretty submissive and knows when to back down if someone doesn't want to play with him. He walks well on a leash, will pull a bit but will stop if you tell him to and walk more calmly. He needs another dog his size (medium size or larger) to play with and a privacy fence to run and potty in. He is house and crate trained but doesn't need to be crated all day, if at all possible. He is still a puppy so he chews. Distraction is necessary, along with toys. He's fully vetted. You must have a recent vet reference listed on the application and your dogs must be altered, up to date on all vaccines and heartworm prevention. I do contact your vet for the reference so the telephone number is necessary on the application. He is not a first time dog owner type dog. He requires a lot of grooming. He is not hypoallergenic. His adoption fee is $300 Apply online at MadisonARF.org

Coi

American Staffordshire Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Madison, 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
Coi is a loving three-year-old dog with a gentle, affectionate nature. I originally got her from my mother-in-law, who owns both of her parents, so I’ve known her background since birth. She is very people-oriented—extremely cuddly, loyal, and happiest when she’s close to her person. Koi enjoys all the usual things dogs love and thrives on companionship and attention. She is well-trained on her basic commands, including sit, down, and stay. While she has a strong foundation, she would benefit from continued training, particularly with leash work and learning to heel. Koi would do best in a home where she will receive plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m looking for someone who can truly invest in her and provide the loving, stable environment she deserves.
