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.

Spayed or Neutered,
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

Mia is one that never meets a stranger and is very loving and cuddly. She walks well on a leash, loves to play fetch, and will sit in your lap to watch TV and eat popcorn. She pays attention and will be easily trained to whatever level you want because of her high desire to please. She sleeps well in her crate, but would love to sleep with her person if allowed. So far, her only negative is that she doesn't like cats. Mia 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

Story
Meet Malcolm, the ultimate goofball! This 5-month-old pit mix is a bundle of energy, always ready to bounce into action. Whether he's chasing his tail or launching himself into a pile of toys, Malcolm brings joy and laughter wherever he goes. His silly antics and playful spirit make every day an adventure! His sweet, soulful eyes will have you lost in them, definition of "puppy dog eyes! Malcolm is crate trained and house trained when on a regular schedule. He is too playful and rough for kitty cats but loves to play hard with other dogs (smaller dogs could be intimidated). He is a puppy and needs basic puppy training and structure, as all puppies do! He is in the Huntsville, AL area and is fully vetted and ready for adoption! Please fill out an application if you are interested in Malcolm!

Atlas

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
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/
