Story
🐾 Meet Ash! 🐾 Sweet Ash is a 1.5-year-old Lab mix with the gentlest soul. She’s had a rough start — she came from a home where a renter kept over 20 dogs before abandoning them all. Despite everything she’s been through, Ash is slowly learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and part of a family. 💛 Ash weighs about 32 pounds, making her a perfect medium-sized companion. She’s a little shy at first, but once she warms up, her soft, loving personality shines. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and having a confident dog friend in her new home could help her continue to blossom. Ash is being fostered in Huntsville, AL through Friends of Rescue and is available for transport to approved adopters. If you’re ready to change a life — and gain a loyal, gentle companion in return — Ash is waiting. 🐶✨ 📍 Apply here: www.forrescue.net

Story
Bishop - Needs Foster or Forever home Male Pit bull type dog About 6 years old House trained Crate trained Walks well on a leash Knows basic commands Can live happily with another dog of similar size Needs a home with older children Up to date with vaccines Neutered Bishop came to us as an owner surrender. He had been rescued from a bad situation by a Good Samaritan who could not keep him. We saw him advertised on a free pets' site and contacted the owner, who was thankfully was willing to work with a rescue. After spending time in boarding while we searched for a foster home for him, Bishop has spent time in foster-based training. He has done great! Bishop loves his walks, and needs a family who will take him on adventures and continue to introduce him to new people, places, and things. He would love a family who is at home for at least part of the day - a stay-at-home parent, a retired person or couple, or someone who works from home would be ideal for him. He is happiest when he is with people. He is an absolutely wonderful, happy, affectionate dog who will make a wonderful family member.

Story
Kali is 4 years old. Has been raised around young children including a new baby when she was a few months old. We got her as a new puppy. She is very gentle with the children. She is NOT a guard dog, loves company and wants to play with people. She does initially get excited when company comes but calms down fairly quickly. She may jump up but not aggressively, she wants hugs. I am sure she can be trained to not do that i just have not had the time to invest. She has never been aggressive but will bark at dogs walking by when outside in the yard. She hasn’t really been around many other dogs up close so I am not sure how she will interact with them. She is quiet in the house, rarely barking (she actually startles us when she does). She does try to “talk” when she wants something. She is house/crate trained. She sleeps in her crate most nights and often naps in there during the day (door left open) We are moving and i am working a LOT and just want her to have a happy home.
