Jupiter is a sweet Dachshund mix around 2 years old and 26 lbs. who was saved from a local shelter and is now ready to find the family she deserves. She has that adorable standard Doxie-style build—short, chunky and long—and an equally lovable personality to go with it! ❤️

5. Motley
Motley is a 5-month-old, 30-pound silly boy with a look all his own: white spots paired with brindle-striped legs make him one of a kind.
He's full of puppy fun, but a walk around the neighborhood, a play session with other dogs, or a game of tug of war is all it takes to wear him out, and then he's ready to settle in. He's a great fit for someone who wants a playful, happy pup without nonstop energy.
He's already house and crate trained. He gets along with other dogs and loves a good treat filled toy. Cats are still a mystery to him: he's equal parts scared and amazed by them, but has not shown aggression towards the ones in his foster home.
Read more about Motley
Our local (Mobile AL area) adoption fee is $175 and includes neuter, vaccines and microchip. He is available for Northeast US. Total transport adoption costs is $400 including standard adoption fee, transport costs and health certificate. Please send us a message to check drop off dates and locations.

6. Darla
Darla is two years old and an absolute darling with a sweet, gentle personality. She loves to play, but she’s also perfectly content curling up on the couch for a long, cozy nap.
Darla is a little sad right now. She was found dumped on a dirt road and doesn’t understand why she was abandoned or why her family left her behind. She can be timid and shy at first, so she may need a little patience and reassurance while she learns to trust again. We were surprised to learn that Darla is heartworm negative!
Read more about Darla
Darla gets along well with other dogs and would love a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, build her confidence, and discover just how wonderful life can be.
This sweet girl has so much love to give. She just needs someone willing to give her a chance.
Our adoption fee is $175 and includes age appropriate vaccines, vet check, deworming, heartworm test, spay and a microchip. If you are interested, please complete the application below.

He is thriving and finally getting the chance to show everyone what a wonderful boy he really is! ❤️
Captain is an adorable Lab/Pointer mix, around 1 year old and 50ish lbs. He’s doing great in the house, absolutely loves the other dogs in his foster home and is wonderful with people. He’s a sweet, happy boy who just needed to feel safe and loved!

8. Mollie Mae
✨ UPDATE!! MEET MOLLIE! ✨
Now that her babies have all moved on, it’s finally Momma Mollie’s turn to be someone’s baby! ❤️
Mollie was found as a stray and went on to give birth to 7 beautiful babies. She was an amazing momma, and today her last puppy left the nest. Now this special girl is ready to begin the next chapter of her life!
Mollie is a gorgeous blue merle Catahoula mix, approximately 3–5 years old and 35–40ish lbs. When she first arrived, this poor girl was absolutely terrified. Despite how scared she was, she remained incredibly sweet and never showed any aggression.
And what a difference 8 weeks has made! ❤️
Read more about Mollie Mae
Mollie is absolutely thriving in her foster home! She loves exploring the farm, playing with her foster siblings, and then settling in for some cuddles on the couch. She is great with dogs of all sizes AND cats. She doesn’t mind children, but we feel an older, calmer household would likely be the best fit for her personality.
Mollie uses a doggy door and keeps a clean kennel. Most importantly, she has learned that people can be kind and that life can be GOOD.
Her perfect family will understand that she may need a little patience, love, and reassurance while adjusting to a new environment. Give this girl a little time to feel safe, and we truly believe you’ll get a lifetime of love in return.
Mollie is UTD, heartworm tested, spayed, and READY FOR ADOPTION!
She has already overcome so much. She raised her babies, watched them leave for their new adventures, and now it’s Momma’s turn. Please help us find the family who will show Mollie just how wonderful the “real and good” life can be. ❤️
Our adoptions are NOT first come, first served, and there is NO fee to apply. We work to find the best match for each individual animal.
We also never state that any animal is fully house-trained. New environments, situations, families, and routines can lead to accidents—even with the most well-trained animals.
ADOPTION FEE: $195
This includes a vet check, age-appropriate vaccinations (at least 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm testing if over 6 months, rabies vaccination if at least 16 weeks old, and spay/neuter.

10. Rebecca
✨ MEET REBECCA!!! ✨
‼️ FOR OVER 3 YEARS ‼️ our volunteers, dedicated street feeders, and Mobile County Animal Shelter worked endlessly to catch this sweet girl. Rebecca evaded trap after trap after trap!
During those years, we helped multiple litters of puppies in the area and even successfully trapped Rebecca’s sister and her litter about a year ago.
BUT 6 MONTHS AGO, EVERYTHING CHANGED!!! ❤️
Thanks to the amazing efforts of Animal Control…
REBECCA WAS FINALLY SECURED, SAFE, AND OFF THE STREETS!!!
And today, she is THRIVING in foster care!
Read more about Rebecca
How this girl survived years on the streets through freezing temperatures and snow, the extreme summer heat, traffic, vehicles, and everything else she encountered is beyond us. She is one tough girl! ❤️
Rebecca has now been fully vetted and spayed, and little by little, she is learning how to be a dog and discovering what the good life is all about.
ABOUT REBECCA:
Lab mix
Approximately 3–5 years old
Around 40 lbs.
Shy at first, but oh-so-sweet
Great with dogs of all sizes
Doesn’t mind a kennel
Uses a doggy door
Loves being comfy on the couch
Has SO much love to give!
Rebecca will need a patient, understanding family who will give her the time she needs to adjust to a new home, routine, and environment. After spending so much of her life surviving on the streets, learning to trust takes time — but this girl is absolutely worth it. ❤️
She deserves to finally know what it feels like to have a family of her very own.
This rescue was truly a GROUP EFFORT. It takes a village, and we have the BEST! We are incredibly thankful to every volunteer, street feeder, Animal Control officer, shelter employee, foster, and supporter who played a part in getting Rebecca to safety.
Now there is only ONE thing missing from her story…
❤️ HER FOREVER HOME! ❤️
If you can give Rebecca the patient, loving home she has waited YEARS for, please submit an adoption application!

11. Daisy
UPDATE!!✨
I spent my life being neglected… but somehow, I never stopped believing people could be good.
“Hello, my name is Daisy.
I’m a calm, gentle girl who is approximately 5 years old. I was abandoned in a rural area of West Mobile, where I was found emaciated, starving and desperately in need of someone to care.
Thankfully, my foster parents found me, brought me home, filled my belly, gave me a bath and showed me kindness. Since then, I’ve slowly started letting my little personality shine through. ❤️
Read more about Daisy
I’m still a quiet, sweet girl who absolutely loves attention. The second I hear my foster parents’ voices, my tail starts wagging. It doesn’t take much to make me happy—I’m just grateful to finally know what it feels like to be cared for.
I’m also your classic Beagle! If I catch the scent of a squirrel or rabbit trail, that Beagle nose immediately goes to work!
I do well with my foster siblings, a Frenchie and a Jack Russell, and I don’t mind cats either. My foster family has children who can sometimes be loud and energetic, and that doesn’t bother me.
More than anything, I’m looking for someone calm, patient and kind.
My foster family believes I probably spent most, if not all, of my life living outside and being neglected. I don’t know why that was the life I was given, but despite everything I’ve been through, I still trust. I still love. And I still want a family of my own.
I’m ready to learn what it means to be someone’s beloved dog instead of the dog who was forgotten.
I don’t need anything fancy. I just need someone willing to show me the compassion, love and companionship I should have had all along.
❤️ Will you be the person who finally gives me my chance? ❤️”
PLEASE SHARE DAISY! Somewhere out there is the family she has been waiting her whole life to find.

He wandered up to a loving family's home and was emaciated and hunkered in fear. They took him in to start the healing process. He is gaining weight and learning how to be around his foster brother. He will need a patient family to continue building trust and healing for him.

UPDATE!✨
Read more about Libby Lou
Libby Lou is a German wire-haired pointer mix. She is approximately one and half years old. Her previous owner’s housing situation has changed and she is unable to keep her. Libby loves dogs of all sizes and children of all ages. She has been around a variety of dogs and is very submissive to others. Due to her being a mix of two hunting dogs, cats and smaller mammals (not including dogs) are not a good fit for her. She needs a secured fence and if she had her way she would spend her days outside laying in the sun. She is used to a dog door, but she has been okay the past few months spending her days inside. Libby loves to go on long walks and playing with her toys in the yard. She misses the concept of fetch, but she will gladly trot to the toy and play with it where it lands. Libby is a cuddle bug, and most would say she has the personality to be a service animal with her calm demeanor. She is utd, hw neg (tested below detectable levels) and spayed.

Imagine being dumped along a busy highway, confused and unsure of where to go. Sadly, that’s exactly what happened to sweet Nancy and her friend, Nic.
Thankfully, an amazing foster stepped up and gave these two deserving pups a safe place to land. Since coming into rescue, Nancy has shown us just how sweet, loving, and appreciative she truly is. ❤️
When Nancy arrived, she was suffering from flea dermatitis and mange, but with proper treatment, good food, and lots of TLC, she has healed beautifully! Now she’s healthy, happy, and ready to find the family who will never leave her behind again.

20. Nic
✨ UPDATE — MEET NIC!! ✨
How anyone could dump this sweet boy along a busy highway is something we will never understand. Nic and his friend, Nancy, were abandoned together and left to fend for themselves. Thankfully, an amazing foster stepped up when they needed someone most and gave these two deserving pups a safe place to land. ❤️
When Nic came into rescue, he was suffering from flea dermatitis and mange, but with proper treatment, care, and lots of love, he has healed beautifully! Just look at him now!
And despite everything he has been through, Nic is one of the sweetest and most appreciative boys you could ever meet. ❤️

21. Pixie
UPDATE!!✨
Meet Pixie. She is a chi terrier mix around 18ish lbs and 3-4 years old. She came to us VERY pregnant and delivered 9 beautiful babies just days later. She’s the sweetest girl and the best mom. She’s protective of her babies but gets along well with cats and dogs. She uses a doggy door, doesn’t mind a crate and can be trusted out and about when not home. Her babies are weaned and this girl is looking for a home to call her own. She loves to lounge on the couch and cuddle with you. Great with farm animals and the perfect family pup. She will complete her vetting 7/9/26 and will then be adoption ready!

22. Raya
UPDATE!!✨
Raya is a 5 year old Labby mix with the sweetest personality! She was rescued off the street by her foster mom and spent a long time being afraid of her own shadow. She takes a while to come out of her shell, but once she does, you’ll see how sweet and loving this girl is! She doesn’t have much interest in toys and would rather be glued to her human’s side. She’s patient with kids and great with other dogs. She would do best in a home where she can get lots of attention and belly rubs! She is utd, hw neg (tested below detectable levels) and spayed!

All dogs have a $195 adoption fee which includes vet check, age appropriate shots (atleast 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm test (if over 6 months), rabies (if atleast 16 weeks) and spay/neuter! Puppies will be altered before adoption. All rescues and shelters practice pediatric spay and neuter. This is essential in our rescue efforts and it is a policy that we will stick by. All dogs over 8 weeks and 2 pounds will be altered before adoption. There are no exceptions to this rule on all healthy and adoptable dogs. We have researched and discussed in depth with multiple vets everything on pediatric spay and neuter and from a rescue stand point it must be done. Please do not ask for an extension on spay and neutering, it will NOT be granted on a healthy puppy!
Puppies/Dogs that are not available for adoption due to vetting not being complete can be reserved with an approved application and a non refundable $50 deposit. Deposits can ONLY be submitted once the rescue has been in contact on your approval and it has been requested through Wags and Whiskers. This deposit is applied to your adoption fee and the remaining $145 is due at pick up.

Why adopt an adult dog in Mobile
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
