🌟 Meet Mabel — a 2-year-old beauty with a heart full of sunshine and a personality that’s all her own. She’s sweet, sassy, and a little goofy, with a love for outdoor adventures and quiet moments in the yard. Mabel is potty trained, dog-friendly, and always up for a walk or a sniffari.

She’s not one to demand attention—but when she’s ready, she’ll gently place her paw on you, her way of saying, “I’m ready for love now.” Mabel thrives with people who respect her independence and give her space to come to them. She’s still working on crate training, but she’s doing her best!

🏡 A home with a yard would be her dream—somewhere she can explore, sunbathe, and just be her quirky, wonderful self.

💛 Her adoption fee is just $10 through tomorrow, 7/19, thanks to Bissell’s Empty the Shelters!
📞 Call 205-752-9101 to schedule a meet-and-greet—she’ll be brought in from foster just for you.
📍 TMAS is open 12–6, closed Sundays and Wednesdays.

Let Mabel show you how beautiful it is to be loved on her terms. 🐾

🌸 Meet Maggie — The Queen of Cuddles and Car Rides! 🌸
Known at TMAS as “Pony,” this joyful pup was lovingly renamed after Magnolia Drive in Tuscaloosa by her foster mom… and trust us, she wears the name with pride.

From her foster:

“Maggie is the definition of pure joy in a fur coat. Her big, bright natural smile could melt the coldest heart, and she greets me at the door like I’m her favorite person in the world — because I am. And you could be too.”

💖 Snuggle Champion: She’s young, affectionate, and downright obsessed with lap time. Belly rubs? Kisses? She’s got a lifetime supply.
🧸 Toy Collector: Squeaky toys are her love language.
🚗 Adventure Girl: Car rides, PUP CUPS, and visits to 7Brew (yes, the baristas know her by name) are part of her perfect day.
🎀 Heart-Melter: She responds to “Mama,” “Mags,” and “Maggie Mae” with tail wags and loving eyes that will melt you.
👯 Social Butterfly: Maggie loves your friends already and has just the right amount of protectiveness wrapped in soft-hearted sweetness.

“If I weren’t juggling three jobs and a master’s program, I’d adopt her in a heartbeat. She deserves a forever family who’ll love her the way she loves—fully and freely.”

🫶 Maggie Mae is ready to bring joy, love, and loyalty into your life. Through July 19, her adoption fee is just $10, thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters event!

📞 To meet Maggie, call 205-752-9101 to schedule a time for her to come in. She’s already dreaming of her new best friend—could that be you?

UPDATE: thank you all SO much, Paulie is going to surgery today!!!!

🌼 URGENT Help Needed for Sweet Paulie 🌼
💔 Surgery Scheduled for Tomorrow – We Can’t Proceed Without Your Help 💔

Paulie is a 5-month-old collie mix with the gentlest eyes and a heart full of sunshine… but right now, she’s hurting. Both of her tiny back legs are fractured, and she needs emergency surgery tomorrow to save them.

The vet was clear: because she’s so young, if we wait even a few days, her leg could begin healing incorrectly—and they may have to refracture it just to fix it. We simply cannot let that happen.

She’s been so brave through the pain, trusting every touch, every gentle word… as if she knows we’re trying. But now we’re out of time.

‼️We need to raise $3,000 to proceed with the first surgery, and we need a foster to help her recover in a calm, loving home ‼️

This girl doesn’t deserve a life of pain. She deserves puppy playdates and belly rubs and the chance to run freely with her future family.

Please—if you’re able to donate, even just a few dollars—it will make a difference.
🧡 You can give directly at metroanimalshelter.org/donate
🧡 Or donate right here on this post.

We can’t do this without you.
Let’s show Paulie what love really means.

✨ Meet Nilla — the “Bottomless Potatomus” of Love! 🐾

Her foster family lovingly renamed her Nilla, like the vanilla wafer — because she’s just that sweet. This 7-month-old shepherd mix has been melting hearts in her foster home for over 3 months, and now she’s looking for her forever home.

Here’s what her foster family had to say:

“She is seriously the sweetest dog ever… the sweetest snuggle bug. She loves car rides and being with people 24/7.”

💛 Playful when the mood strikes, cuddly always.
🚗 Loves adventures and car rides.
🐶 Fully vetted and spayed — ready to go!
🏠 Answers to “Nilla” and thrives around people.

With a busy fall semester ahead, her foster family wants nothing more than to see her snuggled into a loving, permanent home. Could that be yours?

📍 Reach out to us at 2057529101 if you’re interested or know someone who might be her perfect match.

Let’s help this Bottomless Potatomus find the love she gives so freely 💕
