My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Obi! A 61lbs young male shepherd mix with a gentle and loving personality!



Obi is a super sweet boy who can be timid or unsure in new environments, but even when he’s nervous, his loving personality always shines through. His greatest desire is simply to hang out with you and be part of your world. 



Obi is potty trained and is learning basic manners like sitting. Obi is a fast learner and is extremely friendly with dogs and children, and he would likely do well in a home with another dog to keep him company. 



Obi does not do well in a crate, as he likely spent long periods in one before coming to us. He would do best with someone who works from home or is home most of the time.



He thrives with time, patience, and plenty of attention. As a shepherd mix, Obi needs mental stimulation as well as exercise to stay happy. He loves chewing and can be happily occupied with a frozen marrow bone or a Kong full of peanut butter, which is his favorite!



Obi is indifferent to people food and doesn’t beg— except for peanut butter, which he politely sits and waits for. He is a quiet observer; his foster family has never heard him bark, though he may occasionally whine if left alone for longer periods.



Obi is looking for a loving home where he can continue to grow in confidence and be a cherished part of the family.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a four part process.

Application: You will be required to submit general information along with personal and vet references.

Home visit: Potential adopters will receive a home visit by one of our members.

Meet -n- Greet: All family members (fur babies included) must meet the foster parent and pup they wish to adopt.

Here at Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, each adoption contribution is a flat rate per dog. We do not adjust this rate based on the "popularity" of a dog. We believe every dog is worthy of an owner that sees the value in them. Each adoption contribution is used to cover the expenses incurred for that dog and other dogs in our program.

Go meet their pets

Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, INC is located in the quaint town of Gillsville, in the foothills of the Georgia Mountains, just south of Gainesville. Our rescues are fostered in loving homes located in Hall, Jackson, and neighboring counties.

More about this rescue

We are a small canine rescue group located in Northeast Georgia that works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, fully vet, and re-home faithful dogs that have been tossed out of cars onto rural roads. We are a registered, 501c3 tax deductible Non Profit Rescue and we are licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture

All dogs in our program have been previously reported to animal control to ensure they were not lost pups who had a family diligently looking for them. We do not turn a dog away due to breed, health concerns, or age. It is our goal to keep these dogs out of animal shelters, thus saving their lives and providing more time to the dogs already in shelters to find their forever family.
