Story

I got Mimi from a flea market, she’s never had worms and she is the sweetest thing ever, she loves to play, eat, and cuddle. I wouldn’t say I really know if she’s potty trained completely. I got her July 5th, and since they never told me Mimi’s birthday, that’s her birthday for me now :) Mimi should be around 8 months. she is pretty small, I was told she is mixed with some type of husky? Mimi needs a home where she can play with others and be taken care of.

Izzie

German Shepherd Dog Rottweiler

Female, Young

Athens, GA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I had got her this past summer from a family that was looking to rehome her due to behavior issues. Primarily with ripping up things when left alone.My schedule was much different at that time and I was able to give her more of my time and attention. Since I’ve had changes, I’ve not been able to give her the time and attention she deserves. She’s such a loving and sweet girl. She gets super excited when seeing other dogs but hasn’t had much time to be socialized. She would really benefit from a yard that she can freely run around and play in in addition to someone that can dedicate time to training. She picks up things very quick and is eager to learn. Her previously family did have kiddos and from what I know, she enjoyed that and had no issues. I am open to any questions. My sweet girl deserves a loving, caring and spacious home. I just can’t give her that in my one bedroom apartment and my busy work and life schedule.

Athens, GA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Remi turned 6 on 2/28/26. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is a very sweet and silly dog with tons of energy. She has lived with another dog since 2021 and loves to have a playmate but would also love to be a solo center of attention dog. She’s lived with 3 cats since 2022 and loves them too. She loves to run and fetching a ball is her favorite game. She knows how to sit, lay down, shake, drop it (ball or toy), and “gentle” is her command for taking treats or food gently from someone’s hand. She loves belly rubs and cuddling in bed or on the couch like she’s a lap dog. She doesn’t love water so baths and general grooming aren’t her favorite but she does okay with them.

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Balto is a loyal, beautiful 8-year-old Akita, and we love him dearly. Our family is relocating to Asia long-term, and after exploring every option, bringing him with us isn't realistic for him or us. We're committed to taking the time to find him the right next home. About Balto Classic Akita temperament royal, watchful, and devoted to his people Good health, No medications, no chronic conditions. He does get some eye discharge He is Neutered, weighs about 90lbs and very well house trained The home that's right for him No other pets. We have another dog and they coexist, but we keep them managed separately. Balto will be happier and more relaxed as the only dog No young children. We have kids of our own and he's been gentle with them, but we genuinely believe he'll do best in a home where any children are older (12+).
