Story
Hi, I'm Toby! I'm a fun loving and happy guy, just about 2 years old and just love life!  I'm friendly and playful and just now learning to walk on a leash and I'm doing pretty good at it! I have a bit of a free spirit, so my family is going to need a fenced yard for me to play in. I'd love to have dog friends to play with too! When I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game and the most guesses were that I am a Golden Retriever / Hound mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what breed I am - I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed! *Ark dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area.  We do require a fenced in yard to adopt our larger dogs.

Story
Hi, I'm Cody! The folks here at the Ark all know that I'm a sweet talkin' and very handsome special kinda fella who has impeccable manners ! I have a bit of a silly side, and love a good ear rub too! I'm friendly and active guy, and just love to play with toys with my volunteer friends and I especially like it when they take me for walks. But here's the best part - I also have a soft mellow relaxed side. I'm the best of both worlds! As a matter of fact, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm an 11!! Being a mature guy, I know what I like, and I like people! On the other hand, cats I'm just not too fond of, but we can work that out. As much as I love the people here at the Ark, I've been here a very long time just hoping to have a family of my own. I'm a bit allergic to a few kinds of food, but that's not a big deal, I just need a certain kind of food (like Farmers Dog)and I'm good to go! Way back when I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, and the most guesses were that I'm a Retriever/Lab mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what I am, I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed!!**Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only. We do require a secure fenced-in yard to adopt our larger dogs. September 7, 2024, 10:05 am

Story
Meet Bilbo “Bo” and Chewy! They LOVE each other, lost their home and need to stay together since they are all they have! Both are pure breeds. Bilbo is a Golden Retriever and Chewy is a Chocolate Labrador. Both are three years old males born in January of 2021 and adopted as puppies. These two are housebroken, crate trained and have both had some basic obedience; sit, stay, come. Both LOVE to play and enjoy walking. They are used to children, although older children will be best as they can be quite rambunctious when playing and are both very big. They are both good tempered dogs and would only knock over a young child. Bilbo can be dog selective when meeting new dogs, so it is best to go to a home with no other dogs or cats or a very submissive dog. Chewy is fine around other dogs. Bilbo is the alpha dog among the two. Chewy we were told is fine around a cat, but Bilbo is not at all, so definitely no cats. Both require a large fenced in yard and preferably a household that has time to spend and include these two awesome dogs in family activities. They need to be taught a few manners indoors since both have primarily been outside mostly. They will counter surf if not watched but immediately respond when said “NO”. Both boys are adjusting to living indoors again versus strictly being outside and super playful. Both boys are currently crated when left alone or overnight until they are adjusted. Chewy will crate himself when just taking a rest during the day and lay there with the door open. We prefer they go to a home with a stay-at-home mom or work from home individual where they don’t have to be crated as much once they get acclimated. We prefer dogs to have full run of their home once acclimated. Billy, upon receiving them had an ear infection which could have been from swimming before coming to us, but we changed their diet to ensure it’s not food related. Chewy is a typical Labrador who mistakes his water bowl as a kiddie pool so he will sling and splash in it. Lol He is good with being redirected and enjoys watching you clean up the water mess. Both dogs LOVE swimming! Chewy LOVES water period! Both were used to swimming in an inground pool at their previous home. They will welcome any visitors with a big smile and wagging tails. Billy will bark when someone approaches, but Chewy has yet to bark. Chewy will wait if you tell him to stay when at the door. Billy needs more encouragement to not run out the door. Billy wants all the attention and snuggles and enjoys lots of belly rubs. They both need a secure large, fenced yard to play in. They both love and require durable toys. Chewy loves to play fetch. They both ride very well in the car. Bilbo jumps right in while Chewy needs a little encouragement to get into the vehicle, but once inside and settled, they travel well. They both had baths and were very well behaved. Bilbo will grooming from time to time as his fur can get quite matted since he is Golden. All in all, they are very sweet dogs who need a family that can be patient with them. They are both still young so they both have energy but want to be people pleasers too. To adopt Bilbo and Chewy please go complete our online pre-adoption application https://www.southernskiesrescue.org/adoption-application They are both in North Alabama. Both have been fully medically vetted, up to date on all vaccines, heartworm tested negative and on prevention plus will be microchipped before leaving to a forever home.
