Story
🐾 Looking for a loving home for Mochi 🐾 Mochi has been my best friend since I adopted her in Chile at 4 months old and brought her with me to the United States. For three years, it was just the two of us, and she was the most loyal, loving companion I could ever ask for. Mochi is incredibly affectionate and deeply devoted to her person. She loves walks, cuddles, playing, and sleeping by your side. She does very well in an apartment and would be happiest in a calm home where she is the only pet, as she has always been fearful of other dogs. She does well with older children. After having my daughter, Mochi has had difficulty fully adapting, and I have to make the heartbreaking decision to find her a home where she can feel safe and thrive. She will be an amazing companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving dog who will never leave your side. ❤️ Please message me if you think you could give Mochi the loving home she deserves.

Story
This is Milo. He is 4yrs old and his birthday is November 23rd. He’s the sweetest dog to ever exist and it hurts to let him go. He still has 5 months left for his heartworm, fleas and ticks medicine. He loves playing and running and needs someone who can give him that even if they cant always be there. He is alert and protective but will not bite to hurt only pitty nibbles. He’s simply the best. I hope he can bring you and yours half the joy and comfort he brought me. Milo needs someone who can give him attention and play time. Milo is great with kids.

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.

Story
Meet Casanova! He is a 3-year-old Lhasa Apso weighing in at a perfect 14 pounds. He stays true to his name by stealing hearts wherever he goes. With his sweet personality, it doesn’t take long to fall in love. Casanova is ready to settle down in a loving, stable forever home where he can truly feel safe and secure. He’s sweet and the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people. He loves soaking up attention from his foster mom. He’s chill when hanging out around the house but still has a fun and playful side when other dogs are around! Casanova would do well with another respectful pup who can match his easygoing vibe. As a Lhasa Apso, Casanova will require regular trips to the groomer and home maintenance in between to keep his beautiful coat healthy and mat-free. Casanova has a lot of love to give he just needs the right home to give him the stability and devotion he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion with a gentle heart, Casanova might just be your perfect match. ♥️
