Story
I got Chloe when she was just 6 months old during the pandemic, and she has truly been the best companion I could’ve ever asked for. We’ve been through so much together, and it breaks my heart to say that due to life circumstances, I’m no longer able to give her the level of care she deserves. Chloe is up to date on her rabies vaccine but has not been able to get her other annual shots this year due to financial difficulty. She needs a home that can match her energy, be patient with her, and give her the proper training, consistency, and care she needs to thrive. Her personality is one of a kind she loves being a couch potato, gets the occasional zoomies, and can be hilariously petty when she doesn’t get her way. I’ve tried everything with potty training; she listens when she wants to, but if she’s upset, she might pop a squat to express her feelings. With the right training and routine, I truly believe she can improve.

Story
Hi, I’m Rosie! I am a very sweet, gentle girl who just wants to be loved and feel safe. I am fully housebroken, I never chew things I shouldn’t, and I actually love my crate. I go in easily and relax there whenever you need to step out. I am a quiet dog who hardly ever barks, and I enjoy long walks, backyard zoomies, and peaceful time with my people.I walk nicely on a leash and stay calm around other dogs and people. I am still working on my separation anxiety, but I am trying my best and making progress, especially when I have a routine that feels safe and predictable.I am looking for someone who will be patient with me, enjoy the simple joys of walks and snuggles, and help me grow more confident every day. If you want a loving, loyal companion, I would love to meet you.XOXO,Rosie

Story
Hello, my name is Amber! I am a gentle, shy little dog who is still learning to feel safe. I take time to warm up to new people and I prefer calm routines, quiet spaces, and slow introductions. Once I feel comfortable, my sweetness starts to shine and you’ll see how much joy I have tucked away.I like other small dogs and feel my best when I have a playful buddy. I love to run, chase, and play in the yard, and I stay polite and calm when meeting dogs on leash or through a fence. I enjoy soft toys, cozy beds, and peaceful walks, as long as nothing is too loud or sudden.Even though I may never be a cuddly lap dog, I do accept gentle pets on my own terms, and I show my happiness by running like a little gazelle with my tail curled over my back. My foster says I have the cutest underbite and the kindest heart. I even love to ride in the car, I`ll lay on your lap or cruise right next to you.There are so many positives about me, too. I am fully potty trained and non-destructive, and I’m trusted with access to the whole house. I sleep quietly through the night in my own bed on the floor. I’m very quiet overall, with just a bit of light alert barking when my foster gets home, and even that doesn’t always happen. I walk easily on leash, make a great work-from-home buddy, and have shown no signs of separation anxiety or resource guarding. Even when I’m scared, I never try to defend myself—I`m truly as sweet as can be.My perfect home is adults only with at least one playful small or medium dog who can help me feel confident. With patience time and kindness I know I will keep growing and become a loving companion for someone who understands a sensitive soul like me.With love,Amber

Story
❗Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ • Rescue Story : Meet Mallow👋 This sweetheart was found wandering alone on a street in South Korea in Feb 2024. Sadly, he ended up in a high-risk shelter and on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, the rescue team stepped in just in time, giving him a second chance at life. While having heartworm treatment in a clinic, Mallow moved into his foster home in July 2024. Now, he’s ready to find his forever family! • Personality: Calm, Sweet, Shy Mallow needs a little time and space to feel comfortable, but once he does, he’ll open up beautifully. It may take patience, but winning his heart will be one of the most rewarding experiences ever! He is such a cuddle bug! • Affinity with -Cats: Not interested in cats on walks -Dogs: a huge dog-lover! Very friendly with other dogs regardless of size. He would adjust better in a home with another dog! -Adults/Kids: Good with adults. / Not a fan of kids - he would be the best fit in a home without children. • Housetrained: Fully housebroken, using pee pads indoors and going potty outdoors both. • Walking Manner: Very good on a leash! Wants to keep walks short. • Shedding: 5-6 • Food Allergies: No • Car Rides: Good • Barker or Quiet: Barks a little bit when hearing the loud noise from outside. • Separation Anxiety: He whimpers a little right after his foster family leaves home, but calms down soon. • Bathing/Brushing: Very good. • Likes & Dislikes: Loves treats, doggy friends, and cuddles! / Not a big fan of young kids • Health: Completed heartworm treatment in late 2024 and was cleared of infection by April 2025. Had a few teeth extracted this October due to root damage, but it doesn’t affect his ability to chew. Regular and thorough tooth brushing is essential. Otherwise, he’s a healthy boy!

Story
Meet Irving! Sweet little Irving was surrendered to RMG when his owner found themselves in some very unfortunate circumstances and unable to care for him.   Irving was a bit timid when he first arrived at his foster home but quickly learned that Foster Mom's lap was a pretty comfy spot to curl up and decompress after all the changes he had been through. He's been great with all of the other dogs and cats in his foster home and really enjoys making new dog friends - especially the girls! Irving is great on leash and loves going for a nice stroll on these lovely sunny days.  We aren't totally sure what the first few years of his life were like, but we are pretty certain a man (or men) was very unkind to him at some point because Irving does have a healthy fear of men. We are working on that in his foster home, but for now, Irving will need an all female home. Irving will also need another female dog in his home to help him feel comfortable and settle in Interested in adopting this sweet little man?

Meet Tigger! I’m an adorable 8-year-old gentleman looking for my forever home. I was recently returned to the rescue through no fault of my own—my family went through a divorce. I may be a “senior,” but I’m as sweet as can be, and my permanently peeking tongue makes me extra cute! If you’d like to learn more about me, email adoptions@gahomelesspets.com.

Story
Snicker is 11 Bday 10/31/2014 🎃 I have had her since birth Snicker is the sweetest dog. She gets easily spooked by loud noises and has a bit of anxiety. She loves belly rubs more than anything. She works well with pets that won’t play too much with her, and she typically ignores them after meeting. She’s more of a people person. She has some issues with her trachea, and i can’t front the bills for treatment anymore. I was told it is terminal, but she could live much longer with proper treatment. She cannot exercise too much or it can irritate her trachea. Needs carried up stairs. She would work best with an owner that works from home and has children, and who can tend to her more than i can. She prefers a quiet area, I live in an apartment in midtown and she doesn't like it when i’m away. She was born with knee issues in her hind leg, it doesn’t cause her pain but she can’t jump on furniture. I want her to live as long as possible and have the family that meets her needs.
