Story
Meet Larry! Larry is a gorgeous boy with one brown and one blue eye. He is stunning in person no photographs can capture. A beautiful blend of exoticness, with a gorgeous coat of dark and light color. He is estimated at a year and a half old, 55 pounds. Larry is learning about a whole new world coming from being outside all the time. He is good around people, other dogs. Larry loves to run and play with his fur foster siblings and he gets along great with them all. He does have energy, but he gets to the point where he plays for a period and then calms and enjoys laying around unless his curiosity is aroused by something interesting. He does like toys, and he gets excited when he sees rabbits in the yard. He does not like the sound of gunfire in the country or fireworks. It scares him, so definitely needs to be safe during those seasons. Larry, we believe has only road in the car for his vet visits so it's not he is familiar with, but learning among other things. Larry would love a life where he would get more attention and love from his humans. He has been great around adults. We have not gotten him around any kids thus far, so older teens would be best. He is not mean at all. He is timid and shy for the most part and does need time to warm up around new people. He does love to play if he feels safe. We believe Larry would be fine as the only dog with getting all the attention or with another dog compatible with him in age and energy. Larry does fine in a crate for a short period, but would prefer a stay-at-home family member and a large fenced in yard he could pal around in. He will bark at a stranger when approached but only to get their attention. He is friendly with everyone he has been around thus far and only barks at the appropriate times. Larry has no strange or silly behaviors; all in all, he is just a good boy who wants all the love he can get. He is a healthy thriving boy. He is very food motivated. He will sit for a treat. That is the only command we have taught him thus far. He will walk on a leash if needed but he is perfectly content in the backyard. He would require leash and obedience training. He is friendly and does not jump on you but wants to be close to you. He does not bark unless he has a reason. The perfect family for Larry would be a gentle family who wants to give him patience, lots of love with or without older kids that are not too hyper. A home with a fenced-in yard he can enjoy. To adopt Larry go to our website to complete our pre-adoption application https://www.southernskiesrescue.org/adoption-application Larry has been neutered, up-to-date and will be microchipped.

Story
Meet Leo! Leo has been DNA tested and we know that he is a Siberian Husky/Great Pyrenees/Mountain Cur mix. He has a beautiful soft golden coat with golden brown eyes. Leo is a very sweet boy who loves to be with his humans, but he is leery of men until he gets to know them. He does overcome this fear with the help of treats and patience. Next thing you know, he will be your best friend. At the shelter, Leo was known as the play yard rockstar because he gets along so well with other dogs. He knows several commands, such as "sit, "down, "shake, and "leave it". Leo will need a 6 foot privacy fenced backyard and a playful canine companion in his new home. Leo can't wait to meet you!

Story
Hi, I'm Echo!! I'm a strikingly handsome guy, about 6 years old and truth be told I do have a bit of a silly side with my close friends. I'm even game for a bit of a pool party on a hot summer day! I've been here at the Ark for few years now because you see I do have a few peculiarities that make it a bit challenging to find the perfect home for me. I have boundaries so I tend to guard things and I take a while to get to know and trust new people. Even though I can be a bit of a handful, I'm not mean natured and just love a good head scratch and belly rub from my friends! The perfect home for me would be one that I could have it all to myself and my adult people, no kids or cats please! As much as I do love the Ark and how great they care for me, I really do want to have a home of my own. I just need a family that is experienced with special dogs like me and I promise I'll work hard to prove just how fabulous I am!! When I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, the most guesses were that I'm a Husky / Catahoula 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.October 28, 2024, 10:42 am
