🌼 Meet Raina! 🌼

This sweet, quiet girl is searching for her special person. Raina is the ultimate shadow—always by your side, quietly soaking up all the love! 💕 As a shy girl, she’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can take her time to open up and show you her silly side.

Raina is currently learning to walk on a leash and is doing great with no pulling or jumping! While construction at the shelter has brought some noise, a few kind words have helped her regain her confidence during walks. 🐾

Laid-back and easygoing, Raina is perfect for those who enjoy cozy rainy days or lazy Sundays. She gets along well with the other dogs at the shelter, preferring to remain neutral—unless there’s a cute pup nearby! 🐶

We believe Raina would thrive in a home with older children who understand that sometimes the world can be a little overwhelming and that we all need a break now and then. She keeps her kennel clean and may have been partially potty trained at some point!

Raina is gentle during treat time, so you won’t have to worry about any accidental nibbles on your fingers! She’s also a slow eater who prefers to graze throughout the day rather than gobble her food down all at once. We believe her to be a lab mix weighing approximately 45-50 pounds!

If you think you could be the perfect match for this sweet girl, please message us on Facebook or call/text us at 256-960-1408. Let’s help Raina find her forever home! 🏡💖

Nirvanas adoption has been sponsored! This means there is no fee for her family to adopt and bring her home! She will go into her new home spayed, dewormed, 3 5-1 vaccines, 1 month of flea and tick preventative, and with her rabies vaccine! Check out her bio below for more information!

🐾 Meet Nirvana: The Pup Who Finds Joy in Everything! 🐾
Say hello to Nirvana, the most curious and joyful pup we've ever had at the shelter! Nirvana's playful spirit shines through in everything she does, whether she's investigating the mop, her food bucket, pine straw, or even her kennel neighbor—she’s always smiling and having fun! 😄
Nirvana’s zest for life has made her the easiest of her siblings to teach to walk on a leash. While she’s still mastering the art of staying on her own feet (and not yours!), a little reassurance is all she needs to keep going.
Meal time is another favorite for Nirvana. While she doesn’t scarf her food down, she’s still figuring out where the treat ends and your fingers begin, so it's best for little fingers to stick to placing her food in her bowl. The good news? Nirvana has no resource guarding issues, making it safe for her to share meal time with other dogs in the home.
Nirvana is going to be a big girl—she’s already 30 pounds—so she’ll need a home with plenty of space to grow into! If you’re looking for a joyful, curious companion who will bring endless smiles to your life, Nirvana could be the perfect match.
For more information, please message me on Facebook or call/text us at 256-960-1408! 🐕❤️

🐾 Meet Dudley! 🐾

This genuine good boy is searching for a loving family to help build his confidence! 💖 Dudley adores people, but his shyness sometimes keeps his goofy, happy personality from shining through. He’s looking for a patient family that can give him plenty of encouragement and remind him just how good he is!

Dudley is a quiet companion who loves to chew on his toys while you go about your day. He’s not destructive at all—he prefers to enjoy the things you give him! 🌟 He’s still learning to enjoy walks and is working on keeping all four paws on the ground. He’s improving with each outing, but he’ll need some patience as he builds his confidence and manners.

This sweet boy is fantastic with kids! He loves being petted and giving kisses, though watch out for his enthusiastic jumps—he might accidentally knock over a small child. 🤗 Dudley is also a big fan of food and will happily show off his tippity tap dance skills while waiting for his bowl. His love for food makes him a great candidate for training sessions using kibble as treats!

While Dudley can be a bit selective with his dog friends, he would thrive in a home with a female dog and a slow introduction to any new furry siblings. He keeps his kennel clean and seems to have a knack for potty training, so we think he’ll adapt easily to his new home! 🐶💕

Dudley will fit into any activity level as long as he gets mental stimulation and lots of love. At 45 pounds of pure affection, he’s the perfect size for any home!

For more information about this sweet boy, please message us on Facebook or call/text us at 256-960-1408. Let’s help Dudley find his forever family! 🏡💖

🌟 Meet Nora, the Goofy Girl Waiting for Her New Best Friend! 🌟

Nora is pure joy wrapped in a happy, goofy personality, always ready to brighten your day with just a few minutes of your time! She’s picked up leash walking quickly, though she still has a few hiccups with pulling and jumping, but this smart girl is a fast learner. She’s figured out how to open kennels, and her basic manners are improving every day!

Nora thrives with mental stimulation like dog puzzles, Toppls, and lick mats. Both food and praise motivated, she’s a breeze to train—even if you forget the treats at home! She’s met a few dogs at the shelter and, while she can come on a little strong, we believe with proper introductions, she could do great with a new fur sibling.

Nora would fit into ANY home as long as she gets to be part of all the fun. She loves children and would be thrilled to run around the yard with them! No need to worry about fast eating—Nora takes her time with meals and is gentle with treats, making her great around little fingers.

Not a big chewer, beds and stuffies are safe with Nora! She’s still figuring out which toys she likes best—whether it's balls or squeaky toys—but we know she’s ready for fun!

For more info on Nora, message us on Facebook or call/text 256-960-1408!

Let’s find Nora her perfect home! 🐾❤️

🥓 Meet Cassie, the Snack Queen! 🍗
If you’re a fan of snacking and need a partner-in-crime, Cassie is your girl! She’s a connoisseur of all things delicious and is always ready to share a treat (or two, or three...). Cassie is outgoing and has never met a stranger she didn’t say hello to—especially if they’re holding food!
Cassie is a big fan of kids and would love a home where she can run around in the yard, playing and growing up right alongside them. Just imagine the snack times they could share! 🍕👧👦
When it comes to other dogs, Cassie needs a proper introduction, especially with other females. She’s still mastering her leash manners—no pulling here! Cassie is more of a crawler, taking her time on walks and occasionally needing a little pep talk to keep moving. 🚶‍♀️🐾
Cassie would thrive in a semi-active to active household. She’s smart and quickly learns that small kiddos might not appreciate being used as a trampoline. 🏡 And while she’s still figuring out the whole toy situation, she’s pretty sure there’s nothing better than a soft, cuddly stuffy!
If you’re looking for a sweet, snack-loving, fun companion, Cassie might just be the perfect match. For more info on Cassie, send us a message on Facebook or call/text at 256-960-1408! 📱🐕
Who’s ready to share some snacks with Cassie? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

🐾 Meet Charlotte – The Sweet, Well-Mannered Pup You've Been Waiting For! 🐾
Charlotte is a shy but loving girl looking for a quiet home where she can grow her confidence. Though she might be a bit reserved at first, Charlotte has a deep love for people and quickly warms up—before you know it, she’ll be snuggling in your lap if you let her!
While Charlotte is still unsure of other dogs outside her sister, she has shown interest in some playful male pups. A proper introduction to any new furry friends in her forever home would be best. She’s quite the foodie but don’t try to fool her with regular kibble—Charlotte knows the good stuff and will patiently wait for it! 😄
Charlotte is still learning to enjoy walks and might need a bit of reassurance to keep going, but she’s getting the hang of it. And if you give her something yummy to chew on, like a stuffed Kong or Toppl, she settles down quicker than lightning! ⚡️
She does wonderfully with children, especially those who give her the time to warm up before diving into playtime. Charlotte would be a fantastic fit in ANY home, bringing love and joy wherever she goes.
For more information, please message us on Facebook or call/text us at 256-960-1408! 💕

🌟 Meet Patty, our playful 3-year-old lab mix! Patty is all about fun—rain, snow, or shine, you can bet she’ll have a big smile on her face! 😄

She’s the life of the party at the shelter, always the first to initiate playtime with her dog pals, whether they’re male or female. If you’re up for an adventure, Patty is your girl! Just a heads up—her leash skills still need a bit of work. She’d rather walk herself, so we’re helping her learn not to tug on the leash. 🚶‍♀️

When excited, Patty can be a bit of a barker, so she thrives on mental stimulation. Stuffed Kongs, puzzle toys, and playtime with other pups are perfect for keeping her happy while you’re away. 🧠🐶

Patty loves people of all ages, but she can be a handful for smaller kids who might not be able to tell her to settle down. Supervision is key to avoid any accidental knockdowns!

She did amazing during her first bath, standing still like a champ to get all the stink off! However, she’s still a bit wiggly during nail trims, so we’re working on her grooming etiquette to make those sessions a breeze. ✂️💕

If you’re interested in bringing Patty into your family, please message us on Facebook or call/text us at 256-960-1408! Let’s find this sweet girl her forever home! 🏡❤️

🐾 It’s Tongue Out Tuesday, and Trey is here to say hello! This big gentle boy is about as sweet as they come! Since day one at the shelter, Trey has been calm, goofy, and always ready for a hug or two. 💖

He’s a big eater who quickly learned the meal schedule and knows just how to use those puppy dog eyes to score extra treats from our amazing staff and volunteers! 🍖

Trey has a special bond with the ladies at the shelter, especially his new best friend, Patty. While he prefers female company, he’s friendly with polite males too! He loves going on walks, although sometimes he needs a little encouragement to keep going. Once reassured, he’s the perfect shadow—no pulling, just pure love. 🐶

He’s shown interest in the playful kittens but is more focused on getting his treats than joining in the fun! Plus, he’s a clean boy who prefers going outside for bathroom breaks, making him easy to potty train.

Trey isn’t a big chewer; he loves to nap or just chill and watch you go about your day from his comfy bed. He’s gentle with everyone, making him the perfect addition to any family, regardless of size!

Interested in giving Trey his forever home? Message us on Facebook or call/text 256-960-1408 for more info. Let’s help this sweet boy find his perfect match! 🏡❤️

🐾 Meet Alexis: Your New Best Friend! 🐾
Introducing Alexis, the perfect example of what a little love can do! This sweet girl was found with her sisters at a popular hiking spot, starving for food and craving attention. Despite her rough start, Alexis has made it her mission to bring smiles to everyone she meets!
Alexis is the calmest of her sisters and enjoys a balance of outdoor adventures and cozy couch time. Whether it's a walk, a hike, or just hanging out in the AC while you watch your favorite show, Alexis is up for it all. She's still learning to love the leash, and while she’s a quick learner, she appreciates a little reassurance during her walks.
Alexis has met a couple of the other new intakes and, with proper introductions, she might do well in a home with a male dog. She’s less fond of other female dogs but is a total sweetheart with kids. In fact, it was a family on a hike who found Alexis and her sisters! Since arriving at the shelter, she’s met several children and has done well each time.
This gentle girl is between 6 months to 1 year old and weighs about 45 pounds. She's a slow eater, so no need to worry about buying extra slow feeders for this lady—she takes her time during mealtime.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, Alexis might be the one for you! For more information on how to adopt or rescue this sweet girl, please message us on Facebook or call/text us at 256-960-1408.

🐾 Meet Maddy, our sweet 1-year-old lab mix looking for her forever person! 💖 Maddy is one of the quietest girls we’ve ever had at the shelter. She just wants to be your shadow, no matter what you’re doing!

This gentle girl loves people of all ages and has tested wonderfully with children, always being as gentle as can be. If she had one habit to work on, it would be jumping up to say hello, but she does it so softly—just a little caution with small kids to prevent any accidental knockovers!

Maddy is great on a leash and needs little reassurance during walks; she’s not a puller, making outings with her super enjoyable. While she does well with the boys at the shelter, she prefers a proper introduction with female dogs.

She’s still figuring out the toys but we know one thing for sure—she’s not a chewer, so stuffies and beds are safe with her! Maddy is a slow eater who enjoys grazing throughout the day, so there’s no need for slow feeders or worries about her gobbling up her food too fast.

This happy girl would thrive in any home as long as she’s with you! Maddy doesn’t mind being brushed to help with loose fur, and she’s working on nail trims. While she tends to pull her paws away, we believe with some patience and consistent trims, she’ll become a pro in no time!

For more information about adopting Maddy, please message us on Facebook or call/text 256-960-1408. Let’s help this sweet girl find her perfect match! 🏡❤️

🐾 Meet Buddy, the adorable 1-year-old black lab! Just like his name suggests, he’s ready to be your new best friend! 🖤 Buddy loves everyone and never shies away from a little extra attention from passersby.

He’s a calm boy with great manners, making him a joy to have at the shelter. No need to worry about accidental knockdowns—Buddy isn’t a jumper! He’s been tested with children and does wonderfully, quickly warming up to their playful energy.

Buddy enjoys the company of female dogs, though he prefers a slow introduction with males to ensure they hit it off. He’s still learning to walk on a leash but is picking it up quickly, and he appreciates a little reassurance along the way.

This quiet boy is a pro at long naps and would love a home where he can have his own spot on the couch to watch his family cook, play, and laugh. Unlike most labs, Buddy is a grazer, enjoying his meals throughout the day—no need for a slow feeder here!

Buddy is now neutered, has received his 5-in-1 vaccine, been dewormed, received his first month of flea/tick treatment, and has his rabies vaccine—he’s all set for his forever home!

If you’re interested in adopting Buddy, please message us on Facebook or call/text 256-960-1408. Let’s help this sweet boy find his perfect family! 🏡❤️

🐾 Volunteers Needed: Help Socialize Our Furry Friends! 🐾 At our shelter, we believe that compassion knows no age limit. Whether you're young or young at heart, your time and care can make a world of difference for our animals. We urgently need volunteers to help socialize our furry friends, giving them the best chance to find a loving home or rescue. Why is socialization so important? Increased Adoption Rates: Socialized animals are happier and better adjusted, making them more appealing to potential adopters. Improved Behavior: Regular interaction helps reduce anxiety, fear, and aggression, leading to better behavior and easier integration into a new home. Health Benefits: Socialized pets are healthier, both mentally and physically, as they receive the attention, exercise, and love they need. Lifelong Bonds: Your compassion and care can create lasting bonds, giving our animals the loving relationships they deserve. What can you do as a volunteer? Spend Time: Play, cuddle, and walk our dogs, helping them get used to different environments and people. Training: Teach basic commands and good manners, making our pets more adoptable. Socializing: Help our animals interact with other pets and people, building their confidence and social skills. Special Care: Offer extra love and attention to our senior or special needs pets, ensuring they feel valued and loved. No matter your age or experience, your kindness and dedication can transform lives. Join us in our mission to give every pet the chance at a happy, loving home. Ready to make a difference?

Something about seeing and hearing the sound of a wolf in person is spectacular. If you get a chance to visit Tigers For Tomorrow, it is a nice experience. It was a better experience than visiting a zoo. Just my opinion.

The volunteers provide daily care, socializing, training, vetting and placement into adoptive homes or placement into reputable rescue organizations. The County and volunteers work together to provide a no kill shelter setting. The usual adoption fee is $85.00 for a fully vetted dog. Please like and follow our page. Please share our posts to help generate interest for our adoptable animals and to generate traction for our page. Please feel free to message us.
