Story

This is Draco! He is a little less than 2 years old (born June 6th, 2024), and we are seeking to find him a new home! Me and my sister (his main caretakers) are now college students and he doesn’t get the attention he deserves! He needs more love! He is well behaved, and loves all sorts of other animals and people! He will treat you with love if you do the same :) We are not asking for an adoption fee because his shots are not completely up to date. He’s had his deworming as a puppy, and the flu shot last year! He is overall a healthy pup! He will come with his favorite toys (Not many because he loves to chew them up!), his cage(if you want it, it’s a little beat up), and his favorite kibble/bowls to help him get started in his new home!

Story

She’s s believed to be a rat terrier mix but it’s unsure. She’s very smart and learns very quickly but she is still a puppy so she’s quite energetic, therefore it is preferred she has a place to run around such as a backyard but not required. She’s about 10 months, and she knows sit and fetch. She’s house trained but still needs attention.

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.

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Gus! Gus is a 5 month old puppy full of love and energy. He loves to snuggle, play at doggy daycare, and go on long walks! He is a very quick learner but definitely takes some practice. Due to increased workload, my and Gus’ lifestyle don’t align and it makes me very sad to have to find him a new great home. He would do great in a home with a backyard to play in, another dog to play with and lots of love and snuggles. He would come with a crate, food, food container, and all of his medical records. He is up to date on all shots and just got groomed for the first time (with a cool new mohawk) and the groomer said he was so so good! I really want to make sure he goes to a home where he will be loved as much as i love him.

Luna

Husky

Female, Adult

Athens, GA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Luna is a very loving and wants nothing more than to love on you. She was a rescue at 6 months old. Luna likes long walks and loves to run. She got out one November and we thought something happened to her after a month. We ended up getting a female Great Pyrenees puppy and required another Pyr from the shelter. Then 18 months later out of the blue Luna shows up at the shelter in Barrow County. We love having Luna but having 2 large dogs and her has been tough. She doesn’t get along with the female and there have been multiple altercations. We want all the dogs to live their best lives and want to find Luna a good home. The Pyrs both came to us as puppies so we are all they know. Breaks my heart but I know Luna will love whoever she ends up with and is nothing but a joy. She loves to cuddle and always has a goofy grin on her face. She also talks sometimes and says, “I Love You”. She does well with male dogs and dogs around the same size as here. Let us know if you have any questions!
