A Special Gift for Pixel! 🖤

Sometimes, a story comes full circle in the sweetest and most unexpected ways. ❤️

Recently, someone reached out to Friends of Rescue after seeing our post about Pixel, our handsome black boy who is looking for his forever home.

They had recently said goodbye to their own beloved female black cat, also named Pixel. When they came across our Pixel's photo, something about his story touched their hearts, and they wanted to do something special in memory of their girl.

They asked if they could sponsor Pixel's adoption fee. Of course, we said YES! 🥹🐾

We are so touched by this thoughtful gesture. What a beautiful way to honor a much-loved companion while helping another deserving kitty find his happily ever after.

Pixel's adoption fee is now sponsored! 🎉

But just because his fee is covered doesn't mean we're going to rush finding his home. Our application review and approval process remains exactly the same. We are still looking for the right fit — a home where Pixel will be loved, cherished, and cared for throughout his lifetime.

Our goal isn't simply to find Pixel a home. It's to find him HIS home. ❤️

If you've been thinking about adding a feline friend to your family, Pixel might just be the one you've been waiting for!

Please fill out an adoption application on our website if you're interested. And help us share his story! FORrescue.net

Sometimes the greatest gifts come from the love we carry for the ones we've lost. 🖤

Bergen was one of eight dogs abandoned on a property in rural Morgan County, Alabama. At just approximately 2 years old, this beautiful Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix had already experienced more than any dog should.

When Bergen needed help, her limp presented an additional medical challenge. Friends of Rescue knew she deserved a chance, and we committed to her in July, determined to get her the care she needed.

Since then, we've been working to get Bergen the medical attention she needs and find a solution for her limp. After veterinary evaluation, we've learned that she needs FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) surgery to address her condition and give her the opportunity for a more comfortable, active life.

Her surgery is scheduled for Monday, and the estimated cost is $2,389.

As an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue, Friends of Rescue depends on the generosity of our community to make medical care like this possible. We cannot do it without you.

We're hoping to raise enough to cover Bergen's surgery and give her the chance she deserves. Whether you can contribute $10, $25, $50 or more, every donation makes a difference. If you're unable to donate, sharing her campaign is another wonderful way to help.

Bergen's story is still being written, and we want the next chapter to be about healing, happiness, and a life filled with all the adventures a young dog should enjoy. We made a commitment to her, and we're going to see it through.

Please help us get Bergen one step closer to healing. She deserves a future filled with comfort, happiness, and love.

Thank you for being part of the Friends of Rescue family and helping us make second chances possible. ❤️

Moxie 🖤

Moxie is a curious young black panther. Once feral, she’s been bravely learning to trust people and has made wonderful progress in her foster home.

She loves to play—wand toys are her favorite—and she’ll cautiously join in interactive games. Treats are another one of her love languages, especially freeze-dried fish! While she’s still cautious of sudden movements, Moxie has begun seeking out love and the occasional cuddle on her terms.

Moxie absolutely adores other cats and would thrive in a home with feline companionship. She’s also comfortable with dogs but would do best in a calm household without small children. Though she may never be a lap cat, Moxie has so much love to give —and she’ll blossom beautifully with a patient adopter.

Moxie is spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. She is fostered in Huntsville, AL, and ready to find a forever family who will love her just as she is.

Double the Love, Double the Personality! Meet Cooper & Graci! ❤️

Some things are just better together, and Cooper and Graci are proof! This adorable brother-and-sister duo has been side by side since birth, and they're hoping their next chapter includes a family who will welcome them both. 🏡

Born July 1, 2022, these two have plenty of personality to go around! Cooper weighs 23 pounds and considers himself the muscle man and Graci's personal protector. Graci weighs 19 pounds and may be petite, but she's got the confidence of a queen! 👑

These two are:
🐶 House-trained and comfortable using a doggie door
🐶 Crate-trained
🐶 Graduates of family manners training at Island Dog
🐶 Comfortable meeting other dogs
🐶 Happy to walk on a leash, but even happier running around a fenced yard!

They can be a little reserved when meeting new people and like to take their time getting acquainted. They're good with respectful children, but as a herding breed, their instincts and personalities should be considered when choosing a home. They've never lived with cats, so their compatibility with feline friends is unknown.

Their biggest wish? A forever home TOGETHER! ❤️

Cooper and Graci are currently being fostered in Huntsville, AL, and are available for local adoption only.

If you have room in your heart and home for two very special siblings, we'd love to hear from you! Fill out an adoption application on our website.

Meet Titus! 💙

Tall, lanky, and full of love, Titus is an 18-month-old sweetheart looking for a family to call his own! 😻 This handsome boy has a gentle soul, an affectionate personality, and so much love to give.

Titus has one slightly wonky eye from an old injury. ❤️ We had it evaluated by a specialist, who recommended leaving it alone. It’s simply part of what makes Titus uniquely himself, and it certainly doesn’t take away from what a wonderful boy he is!

Titus is as sweet and gentle as they come. He loves affection and enjoys being around people, including children. He’s also a big fan of other cats, so he’d be happy to have some feline friends in his forever home.

If you’re looking for a loving companion with a little extra character, Titus might just be your guy! His long, lanky frame and adorable wonky eye make him unforgettable, but it’s his sweet personality that will steal your heart. 💕

💙 Why you’ll love Titus:
🐾 18 months old
😻 Very affectionate and loving
💕 Sweet, gentle personality
👧 Loves children
🐱 Gets along with other cats
👀 Has one charming, wonky eye from an old injury
