Story
Meet Echo Wren: A Survivor, A Hero, A Best Friend Echo Wren’s story is one of resilience, love, and hope. This stunning Husky mama was found locked in a trailer with no food, no water, and no fresh air, bravely protecting and nurturing her 8 puppies despite the dire circumstances. Her strength and devotion saved her little family, and now she’s ready to find a forever home where she can be cherished as much as she deserves. Echo Wren is more than just a survivor—she’s a gentle soul with a heart full of love. She’s fiercely loyal, incredibly smart, and has a playful, adventurous spirit that will light up your life. Whether it’s a hike in the great outdoors or a cozy evening on the couch, Echo Wren will be your steadfast companion through it all. She’s great with people, adores belly rubs, and has a soft spot for treats (who doesn’t?). Echo Wren is also a devoted mama, and her nurturing nature shines through in her interactions with everyone she meets. She’s ready to leave her past behind and embrace a future filled with love, laughter, and plenty of tail wags. If you’re looking for a dog who embodies strength, love, and loyalty, Echo Wren is your girl. She’s not just a pet—she’s family. Are you ready to give this incredible mama the happy ending she’s been waiting for? Echo recently had a day out on the town with one of our volunteers, and here's how it went: "If move-in ready was available in dog form, Echo would be that dog. Most dogs, when they go for a day out, are a little nervous about jumping in and out of a car, not Echo. From the moment I picked her up, she knew exactly what to do. She waited by the back door for me to open the door and jump right in and waited to be buckled up. Some poor planning on my part, but our first stop was a pup cup that was next to a construction area filled with people, but Echo did amazing!! She kept running over for pets, did not seemed bother by the noise or any one walking past. Just was quietly and excitedly observing. We did move to quieter area where she got to smell some flowers. Any time I would “baby” talk to her she would get excited and run and jump up for me to pet her. She loved the treats and I was able to pet her while she was chewing. After hanging out for a bit she moved over to a cooler concrete slab and took a nap, when I went to pet her, she rolled over and insisted I give her belly rubs. She may have fallen asleep during this! We took a walk through the woods which she loved. We stopped at one more location before heading back, which was a pretty popular park. Bikes and people were going past and she did amazing with all of it. Echo really just wanted love and attention. She did well with both males and females, noise and quiet, every situation she aced. She just seemed so happy to be in the spotlight." Adoption Fee: $250 Currently located in Fosters, AL and can be transported North to an adopter for an additional $200. Interested in adopting?

Story
MEET SOLACE Allow me to introduce you to… Solace. Her name means comfort. Peace. Shelter for the heart. Which is fitting—because that’s exactly what she needed when we found her. Solace was abandoned. No leash. No goodbye. No explanation. Just a beautiful Great Pyrenees left behind like she didn’t matter. But look at her now. Still soft. Still trusting. Still standing tall like she doesn’t know how to stop being good—even after humans failed her. She didn’t come out angry. She came out gentle. Some dogs get rescued and become loud about it. They bark their gratitude. They demand reassurance. Solace? She became quiet in that way that says: “I’m ready to belong… if you are.” She’s calm, soulful, and steady—the kind of dog who changes the energy of a room just by being in it. The kind who leans in softly and makes everything feel okay again. Welcome to safety, sweet girl. Now all that’s missing… is home. Solace is ready to find her forever family. If your heart has room for comfort, peace, and unconditional love—she may be waiting for you.

Story
🚨ATTENTION HUMANS🚨 This is Pixie. She is THREE MONTHS OLD and already emotionally prepared to overthrow your household. Pixie is a Jack Russell, which means she runs on caffeine, audacity, and the unshakable belief that rules are a suggestion. She is small. She is fast. She has never once considered consequences. Pixie did not end up in rescue because she’s “bad.” She’s here because someone thought they wanted a puppy and then realized puppies are, in fact, puppies and require time, patience, commitment which this person was unwilling to do. Let me be clear: Pixie will steal your socks. Pixie will scream at bugs. Pixie will look you dead in the eyes while doing the thing you just told her not to do. She is not calm. She is not chill. She is not here to enhance your farmhouse aesthetic. She is here to bring joy, chaos, laughter, and character development. If you want a quiet dog, get a plant. If you want a life upgrade with built-in cardio and daily entertainment, Pixie is accepting applications.
