Story
This fellow is Big Boy! He ended up at the shelter on 2/13 after his person became homeless and tried to find him a new home. The volunteers describe Big Boy as very energetic and fun-loving. He walks nicely on leash, but is strong so would benefit from a refresher course in leash walking skills. Big Boy will sit nicely when asked. If you're looking for an enthusiastic new BFF who will be happy to join you on all of life's grand adventures, please come meet Big Boy! Big Boy is approximately 2 years old, and weighs 55 lbs. He is UTD on vaccines, and will be neutered and microchipped upon adoption. Unfortunately, Big Boy did test positive for heartworms, but with proper treatment and care he can go on to live a long and healthy life. Please speak with shelter staff about the option of fostering to adopt while he receives treatment. Big Boy is waiting to meet you in kennel 83; his ID # is 16973. Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers. If this cat or dog came in as a lost animal, we do not know how they might be with children, other pets, or if house trained. You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When inquiring about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER. This pet is available for adoption from Cobb County Animal Services, 1060 Al Bishop Dr. Marietta, GA 30008, (770) 499-4136. Shelter hours: Tues. - Sun. 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Mondays & Holidays. The adoption includes shots, altering, a heartworm or combo test and a microchip.

Story
Meet Logan! This sweet boy ended up at the shelter as a lost dog with ID on 2/5, and sadly, his family hasn't come to reclaim him. The volunteers just adore Logan and say he is making the best of his stay at the shelter by playing with toys and enjoying his daily walks. They describe him as friendly, loving, and intelligent. He seems to respond to several commands including sit, down, stay, and shake. If you're looking for a mature, chill dog - minus the crazy puppy energy - to share your heart and home with, please come meet Logan. He is quite the gentleman! Logan is approximately 8 years old, and weighs 67 lbs. He is UTD on vaccines, has been microchipped, and did test negative for heartworms. He will be neutered upon adoption. Logan is waiting patiently in kennel 50; his ID # is 16744. Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers. If this cat or dog came in as a lost animal, we do not know how they might be with children, other pets, or if house trained.

Meet Bingo, a fun-loving, "over the moon" adorable pup that is super sweet and loving. Sadly, Bingo's former family no longer had time for him. He would make a great family dog, he loves adventures, up for anything and being a part of an active family. This breed requires regular grooming in order to keep him and his coat healthy. Apply for this sweet boy today, you'll not regret it.My adoption fee is $325To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.
