About Alabama

Alabama and her four siblings were given a second chance after their mom, Moxie, a small 27-pound dog, was rescued from the streets. These puppies have experienced a nurturing environment filled with love and socialization, making them well-prepared for their future homes. If you’re looking for a medium-sized sweetheart, Alabama fits the bill perfectly. All dogs in our program are up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. They stay in foster homes, allowing us to learn more about their personalities and get them ready for adoption. We prioritize finding the best match for each dog rather than operating on a first-come, first-served basis. An application, interview, adoption fee, and contract are part of our process. You can ask any questions at adopt@barknbitches.com. Approved applications can meet the dogs firsthand. Thank you for considering a rescue dog like Alabama for your family.
