Alabama Animal Rescue is a 501c3 not for profit rescue designed to give abandoned animals a chance to have a life and family to love. Animals on this site are at a local veterinarians office, in a foster home or in a shelter. All adoptions through AARescue must be approved. We take pet adoptions very seriously. These precious animals have been through a lot so we try to make sure the next home will be permanent and long lasting.
