This is the future of rescue and it all begins here...

The Rescue Center fulfills two distinct needs:

1.

About The Rescue Center...

The Fast Facts:
-The Hunter Stephenson Rescue Center was founded in 2018
-In 2021 we expanded to include Paull Puppy Rescue Center
-We save more than 400 lives every single month
-We care for hundreds of HW+ and medical case animals
-We welcome FIV+ cats and kittens into our program
-We lovingly accept senior animals into our program
-We support eight counties across N

orth Alabama
-We rely 100% on the financial support of the community

The Rescue Center was born out of the necessity to connect the overabundance of unwanted adoptable animals from areas of over saturation to areas of high demand. It was critical to develop both a program and housing facility that could provide immediate refuge, consistent relocation, and on-going support to the animals and communities who need us most. To provide ongoing relief and drastically reduce the euthanasia of adoptable dogs and cats at overpopulated intake facilities by transferring excess animals out of their facilities and into our program.

2. To provide temporary housing, medical and emotional care to dogs and cats as we prepare them to be relocated from the Rescue Center to ASPCA-approved adoption facilities 2-3 times each week.

We need your help - please share this post! We’re looking for a home for these two beautiful boys. Bear, a four-year-old, 105lb chocolate lab and his BFF Kevin, a two-year-old, 75lb Pyrenees mix are absolute besties and looking for a home together. They were abandoned on green mountain and have not left one another’s side. They are currently in a foster home in Huntsville where they are dream dogs. Loving and playful, great with other dogs, housebroken, well-mannered, and can be left unattended without issue. Kevin loves to explore outside, Bear just likes to be with Kevin! We know it’s so hard to place a bonded pair, especially when they’re BIG boys, but man are these two awesome and so good.

They are getting neutered today, and are vaccinated, microchipped, current on preventatives. Bear tested faint positive for heartworms, which we will treat at no cost to the adopter. We are offering a reduced adoption fee of $200 for the pair in order to keep them together. If you’re interested, please email [email protected] - let’s find these babes their forever home!

Y'all. The dogs we have at our shelter right now are so next level, it's almost insane. This entire group of pups are ridiculously sweet, well-socialized, dog friendly, people friendly, and basically perfect. If you're looking for a family pet, please email [email protected] for more information!

After our post yesterday, our friends out in Lawrence County said: “Hey! We hear you’re in the market for more big black dogs (and puppies and cats!), right?!” Ummmm… yeah, I guess we are! Let’s throw in a few extra for good measure, too. Say hello to today’s cuties!

When your friends at Scottsboro Animal Control call and say they’ve got a bunch of big, black, senior, heartworm positive, parvo positive dogs that need rescue… the only appropriate response is “hold my beer!”

Say hello to the 19 newest residents of the Rescue Center!!! Also, an impossibly huge shout out to our partners at Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA) who welcome so many of these incredible pups into their program! We could never save this many without their tireless support. We’re endlessly grateful to you and our Chicago crew Felines & Canines!!!!
