My name is Halo In Foster!

12/30 Update:
✨ Meet Halo ✨

Halo is a very timid soul. She's 1 year old, around 50 pounds, and currently in temporary foster care. Halo's foster mom says she reminds her of a deer. Always watching. Always ready to flee. Unsure if the world is safe yet.

Halo is learning what it means to be a dog in a home. She’s watching the other dogs and slowly figuring out routines, comfort, and trust. She is crate trained and has started laying on the couch with her foster family. In those quiet moments, she feels semi-secure… and that’s a big step for her. 💛

She is extremely submissive with other dogs and would do well with calm, confident canine companions who can continue to show her the ropes. She allows her foster mom (and other family members) to pet her and even pick her up without any sign of aggression. Halo is gentle through and through.🥹

That said, Halo is not a “plug and play” dog. She is not ready for public outings, busy environments, or traffic. Leash training is slow and careful, and her world right now needs to stay small and predictable. She is still learning that humans and homes can be safe.

But here’s the beautiful part:
She’s improving. 💙
She no longer spends nearly all her time hiding in the corner. Those small wins mean everything. Her foster mom is committed to her and isn’t giving up, because every little step forward is worth celebrating. (Have we mentioned how much we LOVE our foster families!?!)

Halo is going to need a very special adopter. Someone patient. Quiet. Kind. Someone who understands that trust can’t be rushed and that progress may come in inches, not miles. In return, you’ll be helping a truly gentle soul learn what it means to belong.

If Halo’s story speaks to you, please reach out. Her journey is just beginning, and with the right human, her world can continue to grow. 🐾💫

Halo is about 1 year old and weighs around 50 pounds. She's a little explorer in the play yard but regularly walks up to say "hey!" She and her cagemate were learning to play with the ball while out with a volunteer today. Halo was one of TWELVE dogs that arrived at MOAS in a single day. We are bursting at the seams with so many wonderful animals.Please call the shelter at (706) 795-2868 to schedule a meet and greet.

Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter is a non-profit shelter serving over 720 square miles. We are open intake, meaning we can not turn away animals from either county we serve. Our shelter intakes double or triple it's capacity every month so it is essential we place animals quickly into adoptive homes. Since so many animals enter the shelter we often don't have enough volunteers to write an individual bio for each. Please feel free to call the shelter Wednesday-Sunday to inquire about the animal you are interested in. 706-795-2868.

Viewing and adoption hours at our shelter are Wednesday through Sunday from 12 PM to 5 PM.
