Story

This is Mia! I rescued Mia from Newton County Animal Shelter where she was surrendered with her siblings. She just recently turned 1 in November. Mia is an absolute sweetheart with no mean bone in her body! She absolutely loves to be with other dogs and has the energy to play all day! Unfortunately, I have had to come to the incredibly tough decision to rehome her due to my new busy 60+ hour work schedule. Mia is part Catahoula Leopard Dog and Pitbull Terrier, meaning she is a very high drive energy dog! Mia would thrive being in a home where her owners are able to provide her a proper enriching environment for her high energy needs. Mia is shy with people at first, but warms up shortly after to show you her goofy silly self! Please message me if you are interested in having sweet Mia join your family!

Chihuahua

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

I got Chloe when she was just 6 months old during the pandemic, and she has truly been the best companion I could’ve ever asked for. We’ve been through so much together, and it breaks my heart to say that due to life circumstances, I can no longer able to give her the level of care she deserves. Chloe is up to date on her rabies vaccine but has not been able to get her other annual shots this year due to financial difficulty. She needs a home that can match her energy, be patient with her, and give her the proper training, consistency, and care she needs to thrive. Her personality is one of a kind she loves being a couch potato, gets the occasional zoomies, and can be hilariously petty when she doesn’t get her way, but with the right training and routine, I truly believe she can improve and be the perfect companion for anyone looking for a lifetime best friend.

Story

Bitsy is a sweet 2-year-old Westie mix who weighs 18 lbs. She came to us from a rural shelter where she and her sister Betsy were both scheduled to be euthanized. Tiny Paws stepped up right away to save their lives! They came to us pretty fearful of humans, but their foster mom has worked diligently to teach them they are loved, and not all humans are bad. Betsy has found her forever home and now it’s time for Bitsy to find a perfect home of her own. Bitsy has come so far since being in her foster home! While Bitsy is still a little shy, we feel confident she will flourish in her forever home with some well deserved TLC. She is a very sweet girl and great with the other dogs in her foster home. We would love to see her go to a home with another confident dog that can continue to teach her the ropes of being a well-loved pup! So at this time, we are requiring another dog in the home. We are also requiring a fenced yard for Bitsy for her safety. Can you give this girl the loving home she deserves? Vetting info: Bitsy will come to you current on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm tested (negative). ******************** Preference is given to applicants located within the metro Atlanta area.

Story

Bijou is a sweet little Poodle mix. He is about 2-3 years old and weighs 10 pounds. He was found dumped on the side of the road in a crate with another dog who has since been adopted. Bijou was matted and terrified when he arrived at Tiny Paws. It’s been a long road but he has made excellent progress and come such a long way in his foster home, but is still quite shy when meeting new people. Bijou is sweet and affectionate to his foster mom. He is so excited to see her that he gets the “tippy tappies” and that has become his nickname. He loves his foster siblings and we are requiring another confident dog in the home that can help show him the ropes! At this time, we are also requiring a home with a fenced yard for him. ******************** Preference is given to applicants located within the metro Atlanta area.

Details

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

Story

Meet Piper— an adorable Chihuahua mix! (Perhaps a Chiweenie?) She is around two years old and weighs about 13 pounds. Piper found herself in a local shelter after being seized by authorities in a horrific hoarding case. Due to her lack of socialization, she was at risk for euthanasia. Thankfully, Tiny Paws was able to step up and save her! Due to her past, Piper is a nervous girl and is still learning how to trust, love, and feel safe in this world! Piper’s journey in her foster home hasn’t always been easy, but she’s made great progress. She is still very skittish and easily startled, so she’s looking for an experienced, calm, and understanding adopter who can continue the gentle, patient care she’s been receiving in her foster home. She enjoys snuggling and playing with her foster siblings and we would love to see her go to a home with a confident dog around her size to help show her the ropes! What Piper needs most is a consistent environment where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. With time, love, and patience, we know this sweet girl will continue to shine! Piper is not comfortable on a leash and will require a secure, private fenced-in yard where she can safely play, explore, and potty. Due to her skittish nature, she would not do well in a home with children or with frequent young visitors. A generous supporter is sponsoring part of Piper’s adoption fee. Her adoption fee is $75. ******************** Preference is given to applicants located within the metro Atlanta area. Applications from outside this area may be considered under certain circumstances.

Details

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

Story

Preston is a 2-year-old mixed breed cutie who weighs 14 pounds. Preston and his sister Penny came from a hoarding situation that landed them in a local county shelter. Due to their skittish nature and fear of humans, they were at a high risk for euthanasia. Luckily for them, Tiny Paws was able to step up and pull them from the shelter. They have since come a long way. Penny has found herself a new home and now we are looking for a foster-to-adopt or adopter for Preston. We are confident he will thrive in the right home. Preston has made so much progress in his foster home and is ready for a forever home to call his own. He needs a home with a fenced yard where he can safely run and play, and ideally a dog friend around his size or larger than him that can continue to show him the ropes of the sweet life! He enjoys playing in the yard with the other dogs in his foster home, but also loves playing with toys, even by himself! He will toss a toy up in the air and entertain himself. When he is done playing, he likes to curl up on the couch for a nap. We know he will continue to thrive with the right family. If you feel Preston may be the right fit for your home, apply today! A generous supporter is sponsoring part of Preston’s adoption fee. His adoption fee is now $75. ******************** Preference is given to applicants located within the metro Atlanta area.
