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
I can’t believe I even have to do this but I’m looking for a really good home for my dog. She’s housed trained she doesn’t use the bathroom in the house, she doesn’t chew things only toys she a really good dog. She doesn’t like the rain or wet grass and she loves sleeping in her cage with the door left open and she loves sheets. She’s good with big dogs not little ones and she doesn’t really like cats either. Remy would like to be the center of attention so a house with no little kids is preferred she does good with older kids. My daughter is really scared of all animals we had to rehome my cat and I tried to give it time but she just to scared of her. I would like for Remy to have a home with a backyard so she can run around something I haven’t been able to give her cause we live in an apartment building.
