Story
Meet Trey! The perfectly pocket sized pittie whose only flaw is his inability to keep his tongue in his mouth. Don’t let Trey’s age fool you, this guy has plenty of energy and is ready to run straight into your heart. Trey is an adventurous, curious guy who’s also down to curl up on the couch for a nap. Trey loves every person and every dog he’s ever encountered and would appreciate being a part of a pack, especially of larger dogs he can chase around a yard and cuddle puddle with. He knows no strangers and his love knows no bounds. Trey has been through a lot over the years. In his original intake at FOR he was suffering from gunshot wounds and 2 broken legs. And yet, after that and his family relocating, he is still so trusting and gentle. You may see evidence of his hard past in the way he flinches when he doesn’t see your hand coming, but his healing is evident in how quickly he melts into the pets afterwards. Trey knows basic commands and is fully housetrained. He is around 60 lbs and believed to be around 9 years old. He is fully vaccinated, on monthly flea & tick prevention, and recently underwent treatment for heartworms. He is fostered in Huntsville, AL, and is available for meet & greets there, if adopted from outside the area his foster has agreed to travel up to 200 miles for transport at no charge to the adopter. Trey has not been tested with cats, and will only be placed in a home with adults and older children (no babies or toddlers).

Story
Meet Libby Lou, she’s a stunning 2 year old, 39 lb velvety soft staffie mix. She’s an amazing young dog with so much love to give. Libby was adopted as a young puppy, she was very loved until life changed happened and her dad could no longer keep her. Libby has been in foster care, she is a little shy at first however when she decompresses she is the silliest happiest girl. Libby loves to run and chase balls (she doesn’t always bring the ball back)but she always gives you her best smile. Libby has a sense of humor that will keep you laughing. She enjoys snuggling in the couch and will follow you everywhere you. She’s a smart lady, she knows all of her commands and will show them off for a treat. Libby is good with children, we do suggest children over 8, as she can startle easily in a new environment. She is good with dogs her size or bigger, she loves to play and snuggle up to her doggie friends. Libby is crate and leash trained and house broken. She is an amazing dog whose heart was broken when she lost the only family she ever knew, she is looking for her new family to love and be loved. (No cats she does have a small animal prey drive and is too curious with cats) Libby Lou is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative.

Story
Mitzi was owner-surrendered and needed to be moved where she could thrive. This is where CPR comes into her life! Mitzi is the perfect-sized little girl that we believe is around 2.5 years old. She weighs approximately 48 pounds and is fully grown. She is housetrained and crate-trained. Mitzi needed a lot of TLC and is getting that in her foster home. She is shy at first. Once she gets to know you, she warms up nicely. She has even learned that it is ok to jump up on the couch and snuggle with her foster mommy and other doggies. This girl is very affectionate, and once she knows her person, she will be extremely grateful and lovable. She gets along with most other foster dogs at her foster home, but she is leery of small male dogs. She will play and run with the bigger female dogs, and she adores the puppies. A proper introduction is a must for Mitzi when meeting new furry friends for the first time. She would really be good living in a home where she is the only dog around, as she would love all the attention from her human! Mitzi loves to ride in the car and will take in all the sights with enjoyment. She has mastered walking on a leash and has done so well with it! All she needs to learn is that she will never be mistreated ever again. Some patience and TLC are all this girl needs!! Mitzi has a video of her playing with a puppy, and she loves her!! Visit the link to watch the video! https://youtube.com/shorts/vSmh_zmHv70 Another video of her riding in the car is at https://youtube.com/shorts/5IILulxoPE4 Mitzi is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested positive for heartworms, but has received her treatment and is ready to travel to her forever home.

Story
**I am located in Georgia, but I can be transported north to you!** Name: Addie aka Agnes Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier/Shepherd Mix Sex: Female Age: estimated DOB 05/2025 Weight: 30lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed and on heartworm prevention. House trained: Yes. I have done amazingly well with my potty training and hardly have any accidents as long as I'm taken outside reguarly. My foster Mama says I am the easiest puppy she has ever potty trained. Crate Trained: Yes Dogs/Cats: I do great with other dogs. I have not been around cats but can be tested upon request. Children: I have not been around a lot of children, but the ones I have been around I've been very sweet and gentle with. Energy Level: I'm a puppy so I do have some typical puppy energy. But I'm also an incredibly sweet and gentle girl that loves to give and receive love and snuggle with my humans. Before FAR/My History: My sibblings and I were abandoned in a rural backyard when we were only a few months. I even had a collar on me that started to become embedded. Luckily someone saw us and rescued us and now we are happy and healthy waiting for our furever homes. Training Status/Commands I know: Sit, stay, come, release (by saying ok). I also walk great on a leash. Working on down, shake, high five and place. Things I like: Food! Playing with other dogs, my toys and giving and receiving love. Things that make my humans happy: How incredibly sweet, affectionate and gentle I am, watching my personality shine now that I am in a safe and loving environment and how I like to "sing" when I get really excited while playing. Working on: Having more confidence in new environments or around unfamiliar things. I can be a little timid in new places or around new sounds. But once I learn these things are ok, I relax and I am my normal sweet happy self. Ideal Family/Home: I would do great in a home that can give me lots of love and affection and that is able to continue my training so I can continue to be a happy, confident girl.
