Story

He is a very smart dog, very kind natured and is easy to manage. He is not neutered so has been urinating on my dad’s stuff in his garage and my dad is upset about it and wants to get rid of him. He is very energetic and can be dominant but not aggressive. He is very sweet and should be easily trained, had him since he was a puppy, he is 4 years old in march. I purchased him with certificates of his breed but lost them over the years when I had moved. Very active dog, you could say he is a dog that does well with having task. He is a purebred Australian hound dog and is really just a ball of joy. I’m hoping to find someone who would be very loving and caring toward him and be able to provide a great new home for him. I don’t want to let him go but given the circumstances I have to and I want to make sure my little guy gets the best home possible! He was raised with lots of love and care Says he needs to be neutered in 30 days of being adopted per website

Bailey

American Bulldog Boxer

Female, Young

Jefferson, GA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Bailey is a sweet bulldog mix who just turned 4 years old. She is affectionate, silly, and loves to snuggle, cuddle, and give kisses. She brings laughter to our home every day — especially during her morning zoomies. Bailey does best with people and is good with adults and kids. However, she must be the only dog in the home. Despite growing up with our other dogs and completing training, she does not do well living with other animals, and this has become unmanageable as our dogs have aged. This decision is absolutely heartbreaking for our family, but we are committed to finding Bailey a loving, stable home where she can thrive as the only pet. We are seeking a serious, understanding adopter who is willing to respect this requirement and provide her with the love and attention she deserves.

Story

🌲💙 Meet Koda - Our Calm & Regal Husky King 💙🌲Koda has been with us just over a week, and we can’t believe this gorgeous boy hasn’t been scooped up yet. At 6 years old, he’s the perfect blend of maturity and adventure. He's housebroken, intelligent, and deeply connected to the world around him.✨ Why we love Koda: He has the stunning good looks of a classic Husky with icy blue eyes, and he’s highly intelligent and curious about everything around him. He’s housebroken and well-mannered and talks in that classic Husky way that makes you feel like you’re having a real conversation. Despite his chatty nature, he’s calm-spirited and royally chill...truly a king of good vibes. We've seen him interact with a child calmly, and he's shown no obvious aggression towards other dogs around him, though he hasn't been officially dog tested yet.Koda isn’t super into treats. He’s more motivated by exploring, sniffing the breeze, and taking in his surroundings. He’s a thinker, a watcher, and the kind of dog who will bond deeply with his person.Koda’s one non-negotiable is he needs to be in a kitty-free home. If you’re looking for a companion who will take on the world at your side, quietly judge your life choices with those piercing blue eyes, and talk back just enough to keep things fun, Koda is your guy.Come by the Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter and ask staff to help you meet this boy. We're open Wednesday-Saturday, 12-5pm and Sunday, 12-4pm. You can complete an application online ahead of time and we'll help you schedule a meet and greet --> www.moaspets.comPlease call the shelter at (706) 795-2868 to schedule a meet and greet.Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter is a non-profit shelter serving over 720 square miles.
