Story
Meet Alyssa- 5/6 month old hound mix puppy. Currently 20 lbs and growing. We think she will be 40-50 lbs full grown.  Alyssa (and Amanda) are 2 cute sisters who were found running loose and brought in to the shelter in Polk County. They looked a pretty rough when we got them mid-February... scraggly little puppies with big wormy bellies. These past few weeks in rescue they have been de-wormed and put on nutritious puppy kibble and are looking much better. Their bodies have grown but their big bellies have went down. They have completed their vetting and are happy, healthy puppies ready for their forever home. They are very smart and quickly crate trained and have had no accidents. They have a fenced area in their foster home, so we have not worked on any leash training yet. Adoption fee $300 includes spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworms ( dogs 7 months old and older) .To fill out an application visit https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/33868/generic ##2673592##

Story
Meet Faith! Say hello to Faith, our sweet 1-year-old Terrier mix with a gentle and tender heart. Faith came to us as part of a shelter pull, along with three other dogs, and she’s now getting the chance to start a new chapter filled with care and kindness. A Shy but Loving Girl Faith is the shyest of the group, but she’s still incredibly sweet and friendly once she feels safe. With a little patience and love, her gentle personality really begins to shine. She would do best with a family who understands that some dogs just need a little extra time to come out of their shell. Gentle Soul, Big Heart Even though she can be a bit timid at first, Faith has a kind and loving nature and enjoys quiet affection and companionship. With the right home, she will blossom into a wonderful and loyal companion. Healthy & Ready for a Fresh Start Faith is up to date on all her vaccines and has tested heartworm negative, so she’s healthy and ready to find a loving family who will give her the patience and care she deserves. Ready to Find Her Forever Home Faith may be a little shy, but her heart is full of love waiting to be shared. If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet companion who just needs a little time and understanding, Faith might be the perfect match for your family. Come meet Faith and give this special girl the second chance she’s been waiting for. ##2682226##

Story
Frodo is a 1 year old Shepherd mix with a big smile and an even bigger heart. His joyful energy is absolutely contagious, and it’s impossible not to smile when you’re with him. This friendly pup loves being with people, and he has a sweet way of looking at you that makes you feel like the most important person in the world.  Frodo also seems to like other dogs, and one of his favorite activities is to happily run along the fence line with dogs in the adjacent pen. Squeaky toys are another favorite, and watching him chase after them is guaranteed to entertain you. Frodo is the type of pup who will greet you at the door every time, tail wagging with pure excitement at your return (even if you’ve only been gone a few minutes!). And don’t we all need that kind of unconditional love? So if you’re looking for loyal companionship and endless affection, Frodo is ready to be the very best friend you could imagine. The adoption fee covers the following: spay or neuter surgery; one-year rabies vaccine; feline or canine distemper vaccine; heartworm test (dogs) or combo (fiv/felv) test (cats); deworming; and microchip.Carroll County Animal Shelter is located at 251 Automation Drive in Carrollton GA.

Story
Gracie is a 5 month female Pit mix with the sweetest face and a playful charm that makes everyone smile. She’s full of fun puppy energy and absolutely loves to play … she can even entertain herself with a glove, which became her favorite toy in a recent play session! Cute, curious, and fairly active, Gracie is always ready for a little adventure followed by some cozy cuddle time. She may be tiny enough to make you feel like you need to protect her, but don’t let her size fool you - this spunky little girl has a brave heart and a joyful spirit all her own. What she truly needs is a loving family to grow with, laugh with, and call her very own. So if you’re looking for a best friend whose whole life is just beginning, Gracie is waiting to fill your days with playfulness, warmth, and unconditional love… and she’s hoping her forever home might be with YOU! The adoption fee covers the following: spay or neuter surgery; one-year rabies vaccine; feline or canine distemper vaccine; heartworm test (dogs) or combo (fiv/felv) test (cats); deworming; and microchip.
