14. June Bug
Puppy (3 months 20 days) · Female · Schnauzer / Mixed (medium coat) · 26 mi from Huntsville




This spunky little girl has personality to boot! She is the sweetest baby girl who is full of energy for running and playing. She has never met a toy she didn't like to chew. Her favorite game is chase with her brother that ends in the ultimate wrestling match of pint sized cuteness if he catches her. Very smart girl who will trick her brother and lay in wait to attack. She knows her name and comes when called and gets in her kennel. One of her many cute quirks is that she will grab a piece of food and take off and eat on the run. She loves a fluffy, comfy bed but will allow you to hold her like a baby. She's also fearless and will run right up to the big dogs to play. This girl is the total puppy package!

19. Miniature
Puppy (4 months 2 days) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 26 mi from Huntsville





10/4/2026 Hi! The shelter computer randomly named me Miniature but I go by Scout because my foster mom says I am so curious about this new world I finally get to explore. I am still a baby but I have met my foster mom's dog and loved her, jumped into the backyard pool because I just couldn't resist checking it out and learned that I absolutely love a frozen, peanut butter filled kong. I went to a neighborhood block party and I was such a good boy! I loved all the adults and kids coming over to pet me while I quietly hung out in my pet stroller. I am still a baby and have to learn all things a baby must learn but my foster mom says I am such a loving and smart boy that I will pick it up in no time at all.
Read more about Miniature
update: 10/29/2026 - I am now16 weeks old and able to go for walks outside on the leash. I love going around the neighborhood! I am full of life and love to have your attention. I happily go into my pen inside because I know I get a small treat each time. I sleep well in it and don’t cry. I have been introduced and share a pen with new foster puppies that have joined my foster mom’s home. I have brought them out of their shell and taught them how to play! I get along with big dogs and know how to ready their cues when they have had enough play. I am ready to be apart of someone’s family and have a permanent place to call my home!

Adopting a dog in Huntsville
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
