Story
Natalia is a beautiful German shepherd mix from Alabama with a gentle soul and a heart full of gratitude. Found starving and quietly seeking safety on someone’s porch, Natalia waited patiently until help arrived and a new chapter began at the shelter. Despite such a difficult start, this sweet girl has shown nothing but kindness, resilience, and trust. Natalia is wonderful with cats, dogs, and kids, making her an easy fit for many families. Doing well inside the home, Natalia enjoys being part of everyday life—whether relaxing nearby or soaking up affection from loved ones. Calm, loving, and deeply gentle, Natalia seems to understand she’s been given a second chance and is ready to return that love tenfold. A forever home filled with safety, warmth, and care is all Natalia is hoping for. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SAVING A LIFE!Volunteers and staff are excited to assist you in the adoption process!

Story
🐾 Meet Rico! 🐾 Rico is a stunning 5-year-old Shepherd who made an incredible journey all the way from Mexico in search of a better life. After everything he’s been through, it’s no surprise that he can be nervous in new surroundings and fearful of meeting lots of new people. Because of this, Rico will need behavioral training to help him continue building confidence and feeling secure. Despite his fears, Rico has found comfort in the pack he’s made here—he bonds deeply once he trusts you and shows his true loyal, gentle nature. He’s a sweetheart at his core, ready to give love to the people he feels safe with. Rico is looking for a calm, patient home where he can settle in at his own pace and continue his journey with guidance and structure. He deserves a second chance at life filled with stability, kindness, and belonging. If you’re ready to open your heart to a dog who has overcome so much and just needs support to thrive, Rico could be the perfect match. Help him write the next chapter of his story—a chapter filled with love and trust. 💕
