Story
Meet Guinness 🖤🐾 Guinness is a 5-year-old black pittie with a calm soul and the gentlest heart. Found as a stray and never reclaimed, it’s hard to imagine how anyone could have let him go. Everything about him feels like he once belonged to someone who loved him deeply — and now he’s patiently waiting for that love again. At around 48 lbs, Guinness is the definition of easygoing. No jumping, no chaos — just soft eyes that quietly ask, “Will you love me?” He takes treats politely, walks nicely on leash (and might even “walk” you a house or two), and is crate trained. He rides well in the car, though he’ll need a little boost getting in — he’s just not a jumper, not even onto furniture. Guinness prefers peace over chaos. He does well with both small and big humans and seems happy to meet other dogs, especially those his size or smaller. He’d thrive in a home looking for a steady, affectionate companion rather than a high-energy pup. Guinness is: ✔️ Neutered ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Fully vaccinated (rabies up to date) ✔️ Heartworm positive — has received his first treatment and is on preventatives ✨ Available for transport (adopter pays transport fee) He may not be flashy, but Guinness is the kind of loyal, gentle companion who will quietly change your life. 🤎 Ready to meet Guinness? 👉 Fill out an adoption application on our website #FORrescue #FriendsofRescue #AdoptGuinness #RescueDog #PittieLove #BlackDogMagic #HeartwormWarrior #CalmCompanion #AdoptDontShop

Story
This is Lincoln. We rescued her from a sad situation, she was skin and bones and unbeknownst to us pregnant, we were 4/5th people to have her. She’s roughly 14-16 months old. When we rescued her she didn’t even have a name, she had never been shown any affection whatsoever and every time we attempted to pet her she would cower to the ground. The only consistent thing before coming to rescue is that she had always been with other dogs. She is good there and would probably be better if she wasn’t the only dog as she seeks comfort and guidance from them. We’ve worked with her and she’s past the skittish phase and is one of the most loving dogs ever seen but will likely take some time to get comfortable in a new home. She doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body and just wants to be loved. This sweet girl is full of personality now. She has come out of her shell and will even throw you a smile. She is a great medium sized dog that weighs about 50 pounds. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and is heartworm negative. She is being fostered in North Alabama but is available to other areas via transport.
