Story
*SCSN does not respond to Petfinder Inquiries. If interested in a meet and greet you must fill out the adoption application!DOB: 1/3/26Adoption fee: $350Available at 8 weeks of ageSpay included in adoption feeVaccinatedMicrochippedHW Negative and on Monthly PreventionPuppy was born to mama Nora (Dachshund) or Mama Minnie (Chihuahua mix)- we are unsure as when they arrived and rescued both mom’s nursed all of the puppies and kept swapping them. There were over 40 dogs in the home and dad is unknown but the male dogs were Chihuahuas. We are unsure what size puppies will be full grown, but do not expect them to be more than 10 or 15 pounds max.Puppies are available to be adopted at 8 weeks of age or on 2/28/26.3rd round of DHPP, rabies vaccine and Spay or neuter are included in adoption fee if you use Fixing The Boro in Statesboro Georgia, where we hold an account. If you choose to have these things done at your own veterinary clinic, it will be at your own expense but must be done!If interested in setting up a Meet And Greet with one of the puppies please fill out our adoption application:https://www.screvenspayandneuter.com/adoptabledogsYou will be contacted by adoption coordinator if they have questions or you are approved to adopt._______________________________________________***If you choose to adopt (before all vetting is complete) and use your own vet rather than our local Snip Clinic for these services, you do so at your own expense and it will not reduce the adoption fee. Adoption fees are NON NEGOTIABLE.1.) All dogs are adopted to the best possible match and calling or emailing the rescue will not speed up the process or liken your chances of being chosen.2.) You will be notified by adoption coordinator if your application is approved. Adoptions are set up by appointment only. We do not have “hours” of operation.3.) If the dog is posted as Available on Petfinder, it is available but may have pending applications and meet and greets set up.4.) If you are not ready to immediately meet the dog you are applying for, please do not apply- we are too busy for window shoppers! Every dog is available to be taken home with you at the time of the meet and greet.5.) We recommend you bring a carrier with you to transport the dog home as some can get carsick. Adult dogs and most puppies over 6 months of age will require a slip lead.6.) Adoption fees can be paid with Cash, Check, Venmo, PayPal and credit Card.Screven County Spay & Neuter Corp.SYLVANIA, GA ##2642503##

Story
Intake 1/18/26  These Adorable mixed breed pups had a very rough start to life when they lost their mother at just 3 weeks old. They were bottle fed from then on until they were old enough to eat solid food. They have very well rounded personalities and have been handled daily since arriving. Mom was a Feist so we don't expect them to be large dogs full grown. They are now 8 weeks old (2/22/26) and available to be adopted!  - puppies have received 2 rounds of DHPP Vaccine- puppies are Microchipped  - puppies have received multiple rounds of dewormer - puppies have received their first month of flea/Tick and heartworm prevention  Adoption Fee includes required 3rd round of DHPP (needed within 2 weeks of 2nd), Rabies vaccine at 16 Weeks and Spay/Neuter Surgery at the Fixing the Boro Clinic in Statesboro Ga where we hold an account. if you choose to have the services done at your own veterinarian, it will be at your own expense.

Story
Chester is a two year old, 75 pound lab mix that was picked up as a stray by the shelter. He was microchipped and they thought for sure that someone would come looking for him, and even kept him longer, but no one showed up. He is in our boarding now and has been good with all of the dogs and the staff loves him. If you would like to foster to adopt, or just foster Chester, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com to fill out an application. ##2665351##
