They each have their own unique story and we will provide you with as much information as we possibly can about them. In order to meet one of our dogs you must first complete an application and become an approved foster or adopter.
We do our best to match dogs with the personalities of the animals in the home as well as an adopter's lifestyle. If you would like to be kept up to date on some of the newcomers please follow us on Facebook.
Please note available dogs are subject to change.
We do our very best to give the most current information on each dog available.
Gabriel and Ghost
We are a pair of BIG boys (over 90 pounds each!) that like to cuddle with our people, lounge around the house, and take long walks as a family. We are good with other large dogs and have so far been cat friendly as well! Ghost does have a thyroid condition that will require lifelong management with medication, but he takes his medicine very well.
These two are likely related (either brothers from different litters or father and son) and were very lucky to stay together in their amazing foster home. We have determined them to be a BONDED PAIR and will only adopt them to a home willing to adopt them both. They get anxious when separated and we do not want to further traumatize these buddies!
Hey y'all! I'm Cinder, a nine month old male Doberman.
Man, this rescue thing is crazy! I went from running wild and free in the countryside to this weird little thing they call an "apartment"! I guess all that running wild was what got me in trouble. My last person said they had a fence, but I couldn't see it! So I just kept going and doing my thing But now I'm in a foster home and I'm learning all kinds of new tricks, like walking well on a leash, sitting and staying, and my new name! I'm a very smart boy and I like to be right with my people whenever I can. I'll be learning all my good house dog manners here before I go to a new home.
REMY
Hey there! I’m Remy, a 3 year old male.
I was found as a stray in central Alabama and brought into rescue from a shelter. I’m so glad to be out of there! I LOVE people and will cling to them as long as they will let me! I can be a little nervous sometimes, especially on hardwood floors, but I’m learning to calm down and adjust more and more every day!
Darla
Hi there! I’m Darla, a 1 year old female Doberman.
I am so lucky to be here in rescue! I was found by one of the awesome vets that works with SHDR in the middle of a busy highway. When no one came forward to claim me, I came into rescue, and I’m really glad I did! I am a very smart and friendly girl who is ready to find a forever home! I am great with other dogs and kids! I am still young, so a family willing to work through the rest of my puppy phase would be amazing!
*Darla has some amazing athletic abilities, a 6 foot full perimeter fence will be required for this young lady.
MAYA
Maya was saved from a BYB/Hoarding case. She has been placed in a loving foster home to get healthy and start her journey to forever.
She is very smart and has learned the routine here quickly. She crates very well,
has learned “go to bed” and almost always zips right into the crate. She is very playful, high energy, is toy particular but very toy motivated by the toys she likes. Maya has not had any accidents in the house/crate. Once she warms up to you, she is very sweet and likes to snuggle.
Play time is the best! Squeaky pig, frisbee and the ball are the things that drive her energy burn!
Smart, smart, smart!
ADOTION PENDING
Hi there!! I’m Kanzi, a two year old female Doberman.
Boy, I’m glad to be in rescue! You see, I was living a wild life for a bit when the sheriff picked me up in rural southern Alabama. I’m sure glad he let me go! Despite my run in with the law, I am a SUPER sweet girl who loves to be with her people and give sweet sweet kisses. I am young and like to play, but I am also a quick learner and will get boundaries fast. I would love a home with an experienced owner who will continue my training and another dog to play with and burn off my energy.
WATSON - No aggression but acted numb and disconnected the first week. He followed me around and still does but showed no signs of anything. Excitement, aggression nothing. He’s now wagging his nub and is turning into a bit of a comedian.
Not sure where he was kept before but his pads were so sore from playing with Vader in the grass the first week he could hardly walk. Not an issue anymore.
He eats well but not food crazy! He will steal food off the counter in a simple swoop as he’s probably the tallest doberman I’ve ever had/seen.
He’s VERY protective and it takes a bit longer for him to accept men.
AMARA
What a blessing to be in rescue! I came from a neglect case in Georgia where I was found living in a barn with very little food or water. I was surrendered to animal control and shortly after came to SHDR to heal and find a home that will love me and treat me right. I have a LOT of energy and love to go go go! My foster mom calls me a “spider monkey” and I think that’s funny! I like to play ball and snuggle with my people. I still need training and guidance before I can be adopted.
Dogs Not Quite Ready
Dogs here need a little extra time before finding their forever homes. Some just need a few weeks, others a few months.
If you see *Pending Adoption this means they have found a perfect match once treatment is over. Some may still become available.

VIOLET - ADOPTION PENDING.

I’m mighty happy to be in rescue! I was dumped at a rural shelter in northern Alabama with my twelve pups. Sadly only three of my babies survived, and once they were in capable hands, it was time for me to find a place to heal and get healthy. That’s where SHDR came in! I am very sweet and gentle and have been friendly with both dogs and cats so far. I’m a little shy around men, but as long as they are kind and patient I will warm up to them pretty quickly. I am unfortunately heartworm positive, so I’ll be going through treatment in my awesome foster home before I will be available for adoption.

ember
Ember is a 1 y/o Dobie/GSD mix (best guess) and I might be bias since we are owned by one, but what a great mix that is.
We are thrilled to be able to help this girl continue to live her best life. Her previous owner took very good care of her it appears and even had a regular vet. Unfortunately the owner could no longer care for her due to age and health issues.

FurEver Foster
Sometimes a Dog comes into rescue who can never be officially adopted due to extreme health issues that cannot be resolved. These pups have AMAZINGLY DEVOTED Forever Foster Parents who monitor their conditions and see to their medical needs in addition to giving all the love our regular Foster Families provide. SHDSR covers the cost of their care for life.
Lando is a 10 year old male who lived a rough life. Lack of care has left him with tumors, chronic injuries, and is currently in advanced stages of Heartworm Disease. He will live out his life under the care of SHDSR in his foster home.
Captain is a 10 year old boy who has extensive allergies and is HW positive. He will live out his golden years with his FurEver Foster momma where he will be spoiled rotten.
Good Golly Ms. Molly! Isn't she just the cutest thing ever. Molly has a few rare genetic conditions, one being a disease so rare it has yet to be named but leaves her with zebra stripes. She is our special girl and will be living out her life under the care of SHDSR.
Pierce is a FurEver foster because he has a bleeding disorder as well as a liver condition. While his condition has not been pin pointed, he will be treated like a vWB dog and will receive the best care possible.
