Thumpers Legacy Dog Rescue

Dog rescue in Guntersville, AL

**Our Story**



It all began with a visit to a shelter, where Thumper, acting out of fear and protection for his little kennel, was nearly passed over. But beneath his barks was the gentlest soul, a dog who simply needed someone to look beyond his initial façade. Thumper's story of survival, having been saved from euthanasia multiple times thanks to the belief of a dedicated shelter worker, resonates at the core of our mission. Since joining our family in 2018, Thumper has not only enriched our lives but has also become a mentor to foster dogs, guiding them through their own transformations with patience and love.



**Our Mission**



At Thumpers Legacy Dog Rescue, we are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs in need. Our mission is to give every dog a chance to lead a happy, healthy life in a loving home. We focus on dogs that are often overlooked - the scared, the shy, the ones that seem too challenging at first glance. Like Thumper, these dogs have boundless love to give, if only given the chance. We remove dogs from shelters that are on the list of being euthanized to give them a second chance at life.

**How We Help**

We provide a rescue for abandoned and unwanted dogs, offering medical care, behavioral training, and the warmth of a nurturing environment. By working closely with volunteers, foster homes, and adopters, we not only prepare our dogs for their forever homes but also raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption and responsible ownership.
