Story

I have had Gunner since he was 8 months old. I am looking for a home for Gunner that will have a lot of love and patience. He needs someone who he can become comfortable with and spend lots of time with. He is shy of others, and takes some time to get comfortable and gain trust, but once gained, he is an extremely loyal and loving dog. He has quite the personality and will always stay right by your side.

Story

I adopted Stella 5 years ago from an animal shelter when she was 3 months old. She is a loving, sweet dog who loves to spend time cuddling or outside playing. She listening well, and does not have any behavioral problems. She is energetic, but also is a great partner for hanging out around the house. I am looking for somebody who will have the time to spend with her and allow her to get physical activity each day, as well as just spending time with her each day. A home where she will be loved, taken care of, and looked after well.

Story

Meet Rosie Rosie is one of those dogs who brings instant warmth into a home. She’s sweet, expressive, full of personality, and has a way of making everyday moments feel lighter just by being around. She came to me through a former co-worker whose children were allergic to dogs. Before that, Rosie didn’t have the best living situation. She spent most of her time locked in a garage and was only let out briefly to go to the bathroom. She wasn’t able to really live like a dog — no lounging, no exploring, no freedom. When I brought her home, the goal was simple: give her love, safety, and show her what being a dog is actually supposed to feel like. Rosie took to it quickly. She blossomed once she realized she was safe. She learned what soft places feel like, that couches are meant for naps, and that being included in daily life is normal. She’s been loved, nurtured, and treated like family, and it shows in her personality.

Story

Hi everyone! I rescued Max 3 years ago and I adopted him, he’s very sweet and playful, he’s a very chill dog, he likes to sleep a lot and loves to eat all day lol, loves fruits and veggies, he’s very friendly with people and kids, he snores a lot lol but that’s typically on English’s Bulldog. Sadly I can’t have him anymore for personal circumstances, I can’t take care of him anymore because My ex husband was taking care of him but after we got divorced he left him with me and I can’t take care of him because I am not at home all day and also for medical reasons that I have. He would make you laugh every day with the faces that he makes and also will be by your side every time that he’s around you. He loves to be petted!

Moose

Labrador Retriever

Size

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

Details

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

Story

A year ago, we adopted Moose (Lab/hound) from the Atlanta Humane Society. He was quiet at first, but as he grew comfortable, his personality slowly came out. As he settled in, we realized just how energetic he truly is. At first, we thought it was puppy energy, but after a year of training, it’s clear this is simply who Moose is: a goofy, people‑loving, dog‑loving, American‑cheese‑obsessed ball of energy. We adore him, but we don’t run, don’t have a yard, and don’t have the time he deserves. Moose needs a family with kids to play with, space to run, and experienced dog owners who can match his energy. He's one of the sweetest dogs we’ve ever met. He never meets a stranger, loves cuddles, and is a sucker for sitting on a couch and looking out the window or completely sticking his head out of the car window on car rides. His favorite things are bones and lots of love. We’re hoping to give him the fuller life he deserves.
