Story
This is Darby, She is as much a part of our family as our children. We found her after she had been hit by a car. Her pelvis was broken, she was emaciated, and she had just had puppies. We looked for days for them and never found them. She is the most loving, calm, wonderful soul. She is almost a truly perfect dog. I am forced to rehome her because she is extreemly protective of us and went into our neighbors yard and bit thier 7 year old lab. They have involved the police and we are being forced to either euthanize her or find her a new home. I cant even explain how painful this is, she is bonded to me like a child as I spent a lot of time with her durring her healing. We are guessing she is about 3 to 5 years old. She has escape artist tendencies so a solid fence is a must. She also has had sever trauma on a leash at some point as she is petrified them along with car rides. She prefers women, but has never shown aggression with a man either. There's so much more but I'm out of words

Story
🥓 Meet Cassie, the Snack Queen! 🍗 If you’re a fan of snacking and need a partner-in-crime, Cassie is your girl! She’s a connoisseur of all things delicious and is always ready to share a treat (or two, or three...). Cassie is outgoing and has never met a stranger she didn’t say hello to—especially if they’re holding food! Cassie is a big fan of kids and would love a home where she can run around in the yard, playing and growing up right alongside them. Just imagine the snack times they could share! 🍕👧👦 When it comes to other dogs, Cassie needs a proper introduction, especially with other females. She’s still mastering her leash manners—no pulling here! Cassie is more of a crawler, taking her time on walks and occasionally needing a little pep talk to keep moving. 🚶‍♀️🐾 Cassie would thrive in a semi-active to active household. She’s smart and quickly learns that small kiddos might not appreciate being used as a trampoline. 🏡 And while she’s still figuring out the whole toy situation, she’s pretty sure there’s nothing better than a soft, cuddly stuffy! If you’re looking for a sweet, snack-loving, fun companion, Cassie might just be the perfect match. For more info on Cassie, send us a message on Facebook or call/text at 256-960-1408! 📱🐕 Who’s ready to share some snacks with Cassie? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Story
🐾 Meet Alexis: Your New Best Friend! 🐾 Introducing Alexis, the perfect example of what a little love can do! This sweet girl was found with her sisters at a popular hiking spot, starving for food and craving attention. Despite her rough start, Alexis has made it her mission to bring smiles to everyone she meets! Alexis is the calmest of her sisters and enjoys a balance of outdoor adventures and cozy couch time. Whether it's a walk, a hike, or just hanging out in the AC while you watch your favorite show, Alexis is up for it all. She's still learning to love the leash, and while she’s a quick learner, she appreciates a little reassurance during her walks. Alexis has met a couple of the other new intakes and, with proper introductions, she might do well in a home with a male dog. She’s less fond of other female dogs but is a total sweetheart with kids. In fact, it was a family on a hike who found Alexis and her sisters! Since arriving at the shelter, she’s met several children and has done well each time. This gentle girl is between 6 months to 1 year old and weighs about 45 pounds. She's a slow eater, so no need to worry about buying extra slow feeders for this lady—she takes her time during mealtime. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, Alexis might be the one for you! For more information on how to adopt or rescue this sweet girl, please message us on Facebook or call/text us at 256-960-1408. Euthanasia Date:10/02/24

Story
Maxine was brought in from Hwy 75 in Albertville on 8/15/24. Thanks to Dr.Garrett at McCrory Animal Clinic, she has had all of her shots and is now spayed! Maxine is believed to be a bulldog mix between 2-3 years old and weighing approximately 60 pounds. Maxine does well on a leash with minimal pulling. She did well walking through the shelter and even stopped to say hello to some of the others on her way to her new kennel. (we will test her with other dogs in the near future.) Maxine has done well with everyone she has met from the vet to staff at the shelter! Maxine is available for adoption immediately. Euthanasia date: 10/15/24

Story
Draco was our long-term resident at the shelter. Then about 3 weeks ago, he got his big break with a chance with a great family, but unfortunately, Draco is back at the shelter looking for a better fit for his personality. Here is what we knew about Draco while he was at the shelter: He is two years old, Great Pyrenees and lab mix, fully vetted and neutered, did great with other dogs, he is mellow, quiet and highly intelligent. Here is what we learned while with the family: He is house trained, listens to every command, won’t even go out the open gates or into the house with the door open if he is told no. Draco does like it in the house and will let you know when he needs to go outside. He loves truck rides and playing with the family. Draco did very well with their 4yr old daughter. Draco was rescued to be trained as a working farm dog but it turns out he is much more suited to be a loving pet. Draco has an intense curiosity and a prey drive that created problems for the chickens and other small animals. Video shows how well he listens to commands and showcases his endless potential in the right setting (not a home with chickens or small animals). Home trial visits are an option. Come meet Draco at Guntersville Animal Hospital at 1609 Henry St Guntersville AL. Mon-Fri 7:30-5:30 and Sat 7:30-12. Call 256-582-3184 for more info.
