Story
🐾 Meet Nala – Looking for Her Forever Home 🩶 Nala is a 2-year-old Weimaraner/cane corso mix with the sweetest personality and a heart full of love. Although she’s listed as 2 years old, she still has that fun, playful puppy energy that makes her such a joy to be around. ✨ A little about Nala: • 🐶 Great with other dogs • 🚶 Loves going on walks and is very easy to walk on a leash • 🏡 Potty trained • ❤️ Affectionate, friendly, and loves being around people • 🎾 Playful and always ready for some fun Nala was on the euthanasia list at DeKalb County Animal Services on Saturday, July 18, but we couldn’t let that be the end of her story. My girlfriend and I stepped up to foster this incredible girl while she waits for the forever family she deserves. She’s already shown us what an amazing companion she is, and we know there’s someone out there who’s going to fall in love with her. If you’re interested in meeting Nala or learning more about adopting her, please send me a message

Story
Very friendly likes to play, kind of rough when playing because my husband used to play with him like that, very needy, likes to be around you, walks every morning and night, he is kind of hard to handle for me since he is a big dog, bit me once cause he was scared of me, really nice dog but I told my husband I don’t really want a dog for the moment. I’m kind of scared of big dogs.

Story
Corvo is a very sweet and chill boy who loves humans and being around his person. He is a 5 year old Lab mix (not sure the other breed but I guessed possible Greyhound), very patient and calm, but also generally pretty active as he loves to run, play fetch and loves his walks, but he's also just fine lazing around too. He is house trained, crate trained, potty trained. He does very well when training and is treat motivated. He also knows a few commands like 'sit', 'chill' (laying down) and 'bed' (his bed). He is good with dogs and cats but he must have a slow introduction to them first. With dogs he'll be very wary and defensive at first, but after a while he'll accept them. Cats he may try to chase so slow introduction is definitely recommended. I'm wanting to rehome because of financial reasons, but I also feel he's not thriving in his living situation and I want him to live somewhere that he can. I feel someone who lives alone and possibly has a backyard would be perfect for him.

Story
Kace is 2 years old and still a ball of energy! He is very playful, loves all people and enjoys being outside as much as possible. I recently moved into a high rise building and he’s started a barking habit, which is disruptive to my neighbors and while I am working from home. I believe his temperament requires a family environment, preferably in a home vs. apartment, with small children. He gets along well with other pets and is used to being crated for up to 8 hours if you work outside of the home.The family who adopts him will receive his decorative furniture crate, toys, clothes, beds, food bowls, leashes, pet gate, flea medicine, treats, etc. You will have everything you need to make him comfortable in his new environment.
