Story
Meet Percy – Your New Adventure Buddy! 🐾 Percy is a 4-year-old Goldendoodle with a heart full of love and energy to match! This playful, affectionate pup is ready to find his forever home where he can thrive as the fun-loving companion he was born to be. Percy is great with other dogs and would love a canine buddy to romp around with. He’s an active boy who enjoys walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s a game of fetch in the yard or a hike on the trails, Percy is always up for an adventure. Because of his enthusiasm and energy, Percy would do best in a home with older kids (12+) who can keep up with his playful spirit. He's not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home is a must. This sweet, curly-coated guy is looking for a family who will give him the love, structure, and activity he needs to be his best self. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic, and endlessly lovable best friend, Percy might just be your perfect match! Ready to meet Percy?

Story
Miss Mabel is ready for her FURever home! She is a small mix of somesort - maybe shepherd - she has a beautiful blue eye and cool markings. She is around 30-35 lbs. She LOVES to run and play and does best with male dogs, not females. She is also better with larger dogs. Her BFF (in one of the pictures) is 2-3 times bigger than she is and a big goofball (See Marmaduke - also listed with FOR). She has not been around cats but I would guess they would not be a good match. She seems to love ALL people though so she may absolutely love having little humans as friends! She is young (guessing about 1-1.5 yrs) and could learn some basic manners but she walks pretty well on her leash and knows sit. If you are interested in Miss Mabel please fill out an application on our website, forrescue.net. She could be available for transport and adoption outside of the Huntsville, AL area but transport fees are in addition to adoption fees.

Story
Frank (aka "Frankie Doodle Dandy") is a spunky and lovable 2yo (estimated) that is ready to meet his forever family. He was found as a stray just before Thanksgiving, and wouldn't let us get anywhere near him for the first couple days. As he's warmed up to us we've found that he's 50lb of pure snuggles and would prefer to be next to somebody getting pets 100% of the time. He's great on a leash (no pulling or reactivity), gets along well with other dogs, and is potty trained. He sleeps in the crate at night, and after a few minutes of whining, he settles in for the night and sleeps without a peep for 8+hrs. We haven’t seen him around babies/toddlers but he is gentle with kids 5yo+. We've loved watching his personality flourish as he's settled into our home over the last several weeks. He's still figuring out toys and is not super interested in them, but is perfectly happy chewing on a bone for an hour. His foster humans work from home so he's used to getting some attention throughout the day, but is fine for longer stretches in the crate here and there (up to 6hrs). He's very food motivated and is always excited for a snack. Frank loves when we sing, often jumping up and "dancing" on his hind legs. Frank is being fostered in the Huntsville, Alabama area. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. If you are interested in meeting him please fill out a non-binding application and his foster parents will be in touch.
