Story
I got Kiaro from a very nice lady on Facebook who was selling her dogs litter. He was about 8-10 weeks when I got him. He just turned 4 on June 28th. He is a really good dog, he responds really well to his name, stays close by without a leash, and LOVES to run and play fetch. He will play until his legs are about to give out. Kiaro does struggle with anxiety and separation anxiety. I have taken him to the vet about it, and they recommended home remedies first, all of which has been unsuccessful for him. Calming oils, gummies, treats, jackets, none have really eased his anxiety. I have never really been able to afford to take him for follow up appointments or be able to even pay for medications, if he were to be prescribed them. This is why it is crucial for him to be rehomed with his older sister Amya who is also listed here, as to not increase any anxiety for him or her. He is a very sweet, loving, little weirdo sometimes, silly boy. He needs a home he can run with his sister.

Story
Wes is a fantastic dog who is looking for a new loving family to call his people. Wes is approx 3 years old, around 45 lbs, and a gentle boy. Wes has been part of our family since he was 12 weeks old and has been such a good boy for us. We are choosing to rehome Wes due to not being able to give him the type of home he would thrive in. He needs an indoor home where he will be given love and attention. He gets the zoomies and enjoys running around our property with our two other dogs. He has been around young children and adults. He loves to go places but likely would need some training on the leash and regular manners, such as no jumping. He has been inside the house regularly and does well with household manners, but certainly would need patience in a new environment. He would do best living at a home that he can get his daily exercise. He is sweet and such a good boy.

Story
Meet Kimber. He was taken in with his brother and buddy Ruger. He is a 3 1/2-4 yr old, 70-75 lb sweetheart lab mix. Kimber is just a big love bug. Tends to be lower energy. He’s a bit on the shy/timid side compared to his brother. He enjoys plenty of affection, chasing and talking to birds, sunbathing, chewing bones, playing with doggy siblings, taking walks, or lounging on the couch. Kimber would enjoy a nice yard or land with doggy friends, plenty of affection, and maybe a couch or comfy bed to call it a day on. In his foster home he has become accustomed to an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Kimber is vetted, neutered, microchipped, house trained, kennel trained, walks on a leash, and knows basic commands. Kimber would make a great loving companion. If you would like to meet this sweet guy and make him part of your family, please complete an application at https://forrescue.net/dog-application/ . He is located in North Alabama with transport available to your area. Friends of Rescue requires a virtual home visit and vet reference prior to all adoptions.

Story
My name is Tucker. I am a big, lovable, and goofy puppy. I love nothing more than to get love and cuddles from my human. I also love to play outside. I am crate trained and almost completely potty trained.I would do well in a home with another dog my size. Because I am a big puppy, I wouldn’t be a good fit in a household with small children. Although I love my foster home, I can’t wait to find my furever home. I am neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention. If you would like to meet this precious guy and make him part of your family, please complete an application at https://forrescue.net/dog-application/ Tucker is located in North Alabama with transport available to your area. Friends of Rescue requires a virtual home visit and vet reference prior to all adoptions. All Friends of Rescue animals are indoor family members. Please let us know if you’d like more information on our foster to adopt program.
