Adopt a Black Mouth Cur in Alabama

Black Mouth Curs are versatile, loyal, and athletic Southern working dogs — the breed of Old Yeller. They appear regularly in rural Southern shelters. A rescued Black Mouth Cur is a hardy, devoted family companion that thrives on activity.

Alabama has one of the highest populations of rescue dogs per capita in the country, driven by lower spay/neuter rates and rural strays. Active rescue networks operate from Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, and Montgomery, often transporting dogs north for adoption. A rescued Alabama dog typically comes from a high-need shelter situation.
