Story

Reese is a beautiful Lab/Rottweiler mix who has been part of my life for over five years. Originally found as a stray by my sister, she eventually became mine and has been a beloved member of the family ever since. I genuinely love her and want her to have a better home than what I can currently provide due to financial reasons.Reese is:• Extremely playful and kind• A big fan of cuddles and affection• Experienced living with cats• Friendly and playful with children• House trained and leash trainedReese is a very sweet dog who loves to play, even with my youngest sibling. While she may bark at strangers, she is a kind soul who just wants to be loved. She currently lives with cats and is fine with them, generally just giving them their space. I am looking for a home that can financially provide the care she deserves.Theres no fee because I dont see Reese as a way to make a quick buck. I genuinely love her and I want her to have a better home than what I can provide her.

Isla

Bearded Collie Anatolian Shepherd

Details

Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Looking to Rehome Isla! This is Isla! She is a 12-week-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. She is an extremely sweet, loving puppy with lots of energy and personality. I originally got Isla thinking I would have the time to give her the attention and training she deserves. Unfortunately, I got offered a new position and between working/ going to school full-time, I’m gone for around 15 hours a day. I’ve realized that it isn’t fair to her, especially at such a young age. Isla is healthy, has received all but her final round of puppy vaccinations, and has not been spayed yet. She is still working on potty training, so she’ll need someone who has the time and patience to work with her. My goal is to find her a loving, stable home where she can get the attention, exercise, and care she deserves. I’d prefer someone familiar with active breeds who understands the commitment that comes with raising a puppy. If you’re seriously interested in giving Isla a good home

Gracie

Mastiff

Female, Young

Athens, GA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

We adopted Gracie from the local shelter. We had a meet & greet between her & our current dog, and everything went smoothly! The first week, they were playing like besties. The second week, you could tell our original dog was getting annoyed and frustrated with having another dog in the house. Yesterday & today, he attacked Gracie at the slightest annoyance. We’re rehoming her to get her out of the stressful environment of being around our first dog. Gracie is a Mastiff mix just over 2 years old. She’s very playful & super sweet! She’s house trained but does not enjoy the crate. She’s getting better at being on the leash, and we have a theory that she might make a great hunting dog. That sniffer is always working! She’s highly food motivated and does well with all dogs (we’ve introduced her to family members’ dogs). It’s our other dog that is the issue, but we’ve had him for years, since he was a puppy, and cannot rehome him. She’s so kind & silly and deserves a home full of love!

Zach

Labrador Retriever

Male, Senior

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

My husband and I find ourselves in the sad position of having to rehome our beloved dog Zach. He is an 8-year-old yellow lab mix, weighing 76 lbs. that we rescued about 2.5 years ago. He is very people oriented. He will spend hours hanging out with us, and although he enjoys walking, he is basically a couch potation. He is fully housetrained, has all his shots and is chipped. He is very good around people but he is “dog selective” meaning some dogs he is fine with and others he is aggressive with. He needs to be in a fenced yard (a somewhat higher fence as he is a wonderful jumper) or leashed at all times when out in public. He doesn’t jump on people, but he will lunge and bark aggressively at some unfamiliar dogs. We are rehoming him as we live in a neighborhood of older adults, and unfortunately he got away from me before fully leashed and knocked down a neighbor Unfortunately and we can’t take the chance of him accidentally knocking anyone down if I am unable to hold him.
