Story
Hello! My name is Tate! I was found alone in the woods by my current owners. I’m anywhere between 8 and 10 months old. I absolutely love my kongs and food puzzles. I love giving puppy hugs and exploring. I need lots of room to run and play. I know how to sit, stay, shake, lay down and I do well on a leash already. Im house trained and respond when you tell me to leave things alone. I’m good with other dogs and am so full of love to share with anyone I meet!

Story
Sweet, two year old, male Pyrenees/Poodle mix. He does well with our other two dogs, but has become protective of our baby and is showing some aggression towards the other dogs when they are around the baby. He does have food aggression towards other dogs, but does well being fed separately. We even kennel him and our other dog together when we board them for vacations. Minimal shedding, if any at all. Requires regular grooming. Would likely be best for a single dog home, but I believe he would adjust to another pet well with time. We have loved having him, but feel like he can’t live his best life having to be separated from our baby. He’s always done well around bigger kids, but we worry that his over protectiveness around our infant could become an issue with our other dogs. He is gentle with us and our baby. Listens well and likes to be loved on. He has been a great dog and we will be sad to see him go, but we want him to be happy and safe.

Story
If you are looking for a cuddle buddy, Atlas is the guy for you. His unique looks and amazingly sweet and inquisitive personality are products of his rich breed mixture. Atlas (also known as "Mr. Steal Your Heart and Pillow") enjoys long walks, short car rides, exploring, cooling off in creeks, lounging around the house, playing tug, unstuffing plush toys, wrestling and playing the bitey face game with his doggy sibling, cuddling in bed, and anything else that allows him to spend time with his family. At almost 3 years old, he has outgrown most undesirable puppy behaviors, but is still an active boy who requires adequate exercise. He does well with children and other dogs. He has done well with cats! He likes to lead walks and can be overly eager to meet new dog friends, so some training in those areas is recommended. He also gets overwhelmed in busy settings and sometimes experiences stranger danger so it is advised to avoid crowded settings unless addressed by a trainer. He is overnight crate trained, but he becomes anxious when left in the crate for extended periods of time during the day so his ideal home would have a pet parent who is home for the greater part of the day. Atlas is learning how to pull carts. He is a very smart dog and seeks to please his owners. Atlas is house/potty trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. If you would like to meet this handsome guy and make him part of your family, please complete an application at https://forrescue.net/dog-application/

Duke

Australian Shepherd

Male, 3 yrs 11 mos
Kingsport, TN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Say hello to Duke!! He is an approx 3 year old Australian Shepherd that is the sweetest love bug ever! He loves dogs, cats, people, everything! His downfall is he will clear any fence and will come when he wants to. He is trained on invisible fence, however, and is very good with that! He will not escape a fence if you are in the yard with him but he just wants to be with his people so he will escape if left alone. Duke loves to play with other dogs and will do best in a home with a fun furry playmate. He would love an active family that will take him on adventures and let him snuggle with them at the end of the day. He is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area. If you are interested in Duke please submit an application to be considered.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Ellie! I'm a sweet, smart and playful girl! I love cuddling, sitting by my person, and doing whatever my person is doing! I also love toys, bones, food, treats, playing, running and fetching! I'm pretty energetic at times and get REALLY excited to see my people when they come home. Sometimes it takes me about 5 minutes to calm down and regulate myself, but I will calm down! Although I am energetic and playful, I am actually really calm most of the time, and I like relaxing. I am potty trained and know some commands like: sit, stay, go, hand, & kiss. I know my name and definitely will come when called (even when on the other side of the house). I learn pretty quickly, as long as you give me a treat and praise. I am looking for a loving family or person who has a lot of time on their hands and wants a really good companion. I need to be in a home with no other dogs and no little kids though because my excitement is difficult to control when the energy in the house is high or I am playing. Ellie is being fostered in Huntsville, AL. She is house trained, up to date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting her please fill out a non-binding application for her at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FORR/Dog and her foster mom will be in touch.

Story
Darla is a sweet fun loving girl. She has typical shepherd markings on a sturdy lab body. She is shy and a bit timid at first, especially with men, but after about 3 days, her charming, fun personality emerges. She's the perfect mix of chill and playful. Her German Shepherd line means she's going to bond with you and her family. She is especially fond of women and would do fantastic with a single woman who wants a dog that will alert to dangers. She'll be right there wherever you go in the house. Darla knows some basic commands like sit, shake, sit up, and is pretty good about staying. She loves to play with dogs similar to her size and loves playing outside.. okay she just loves to play. She loves squeaky toys, though they won't last long! She also needs tough chew toys. Darla is house-trained, rides well in a car, and will sleep in a crate all night, if the crate is in your bedroom. She would prefer to sleep on a dog bed, in your room, and not make a peep. Darla is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She is heartworm negative and waiting for her forever home. Darla is fostered in North Alabama but is available to other animals via transport. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, is heartworm negative and on preventatives. Apply at https:/forrescue.net
