Story
Meet Vaughn! This four year old brindle beefcake is as sweet as he is handsome. Shy and reserved, Vaughn can be a bit of a wallflower in new surroundings. He feels most at home in the great outdoors and soaks up the sun every chance he gets. He loves to chase tennis balls, but hates bringing them back. He's discovering how much fun water can be, but hasn't mastered the art of swimming yet. After so much time being neglected and ignored, Vaughn is busy learning how beautiful life can be. Inside the home, Vaughn is crate trained, house broken, and knows all of his basic commands. He will be your little shadow, but will slip away to take a nap if he can find a nice sunny spot to bask in. When playing or excited, this 70 pound nugget can get a little boisterous. Mixed with a smidge of cattle dog he tends to be mouthier than most. Due to this, we would think an adult only home or a home with older kids would be ideal. He loves meeting other dogs on walks, but doesn't always follow normal social cues in a pack. He can get overstimulated and a bit defensive when pushed, so slow introductions are a must. He would do well as an only pup or with another medium sized playmate that would let him take the lead and be the boss. If you think Vaughn may be the pup you've been looking for fill out an adoption application or contact us today for your private meet and greet!

Story
Hello this is my dog chapo I got him from some people who were selling a liter he is 3yrs old he’s a amazing dog love love loves to play good with cats and dogs loves attention, unfortunately I don’t have time for him and he deserves to have a caring loving family who can give him all the attention he deserves, I’m hoping he can go to a home where he will be well taken care of, definitely with other animals he does kinda have separation anxiety so I would think he needs another fur friend, a family who can be with him a lot and play with him. He does have a little bit of a skin condition not exactly sure what he’s allergic to but his skin tends to turn red and gets itchy but I take him to the vet where I work at and he gets a few injections and he’s fine, same with his ears they get itchy but with some ear drops every few months he’s good

Story
Meet Atlas. While his DNA is very rich in dog breeds (18 actually), his appearance is quite unique, with two breeds as the main standouts. His face and ear structure look mostly Pitbull, but his "glass eyes", height, thick body (about 65 lbs), and mottled coat are distinct characteristics of his distant Catahoula Leopard dog relatives. Atlas loves a good cuddle and is the best hugger. Although he can be a little stand-offish around strangers at first, he warms up quickly to people of all ages. He does well with children and with other dogs that do not have as dominant of a personality as his own. He loves hikes, exploring, runs/walks, chasing balls and frisbees, playing tug, and chewing on toys. He will dig from boredom if he is left alone outside for long periods of time without sufficient engagement. He knows a few commands but usually prefers to perform for treats. Atlas is an affectionate, active dog that needs an equally loving and active family to meet his emotional and physical needs.   If you would like to make this amazing guy part of your family, please complete an application at https://forrescue.net/dog-application/ Atlas is located in Alabama and available for transport. Friends of Rescue requires a virtual home visit and vet reference prior to all adoptions. All Friends of Rescue animals are indoor family members.

Story
Hello My name is whiskey ,also known as Willow. I am roughly 3 years old My story starts being left behind when my owners moved. I was tied to a stake and looking very rough and skinny. The rescue took me in, and I have excelled ever since. I am crate trained and housebroke. I live with all size dogs on a farm with my foster family. I love being outside and laying in the sun. I walk good on a leash but may want to chase a squirrel if I see one. I was used for hunting before being left behind. So, no cats in the house please! I really am a gentle soul , that could be just fine being a coach potato or playing in the yard with your company. I am spayed, micro chipped , up to date on vaccinations and heartworm negative. My adoption fee covers a health certificate and transport from Tennessee.

Story
Hello, my name is Raven and I roughly 8 months old. My mom was a lab mix and my dad was the traveling man. My story starts with my family being evicted when was very young. There were 6 of us in our litter. The rescue came and helped us out and life has been good. I love water ,it’s hard not to take several dips in my kiddie pool every day. I will even stick my head under to pick up rocks . I love wrestling with my brothers and other foster dogs . You may see us doing the zoomies around the yard and we end up in the pool. I love people and my foster mom says I am the sweetest pup this side of the Mississippi. I am housebroken but we do have a doggie door. I love sleeping under the ceiling fan on these hot days. I am ready for my own forever home! I am spayed, micro chipped and up to date on vaccinations. My fee covers a health certificate and transportation from Tennessee.

Story
Jupiter Hello ,my name is jupiter and I am roughly 10 months old. My story starts with my mom (a boxer) having a litter of pups. Don’t know who my dad was , I guess the traveling man. My owner didn’t know what to do with all of us ,so we were stuck in an 8x10 kennel until we were 5 months old. The rescue came along , and freedom feels good! I live with my foster family on a farm. I love playing with all size dogs during the day. When I get the chance, I love all the attention I can get from my foster mom and dad. My foster mom says I am outgoing, but I have a mellow personality. I sleep in a crate at night and housebroke. I am so ready to have my own forever family. I am neutered , micro chipped and up to date on vaccinations. My adoption fee covers a Health Certificate to travel and transport from Tennessee.
