My story

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

On Monday, November 17, 2025, Edward Lee "Eddie" Miller of Barnesville, Georgia suffered a brain aneurysm that lead to a tragic accident. Eddie has seriously injured and was taken off life support on Sunday, November 23. Eddie's death leaves his beloved dog Shy homeless. Shy is a rescue dog that Eddie adopt a few years ago.We have estimated Shy's age. He is in need of vaccinations which will be taken care of before adoption. Shy is in need of a loving home where is the only dog. He is house trained, but has been having accidents since his separation from Eddie. He is very sweet and has lived around older cats, but not sure about younger cats or children. If you can help give Shy a furever home it would be gratefully appreciated 

Adoptions are limited to an approximately 150-mile radius from Locust Grove, GA, certain circumstances may allow exceptions.
