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!

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’m 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. I’ve tried everything with potty training; she listens when she wants to, but if she’s upset, she might pop a squat to express her feelings. With the right training and routine, I truly believe she can improve.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ferdinand was found running with the chain he lived his life on through the city. While with us, he has made amazing strides from being a dog with little human or animal interaction. He is great with dogs, cats and we would imagine everything else. He is a quiet, gentle giant. He is still shy and growing each day- he now wags his tail for walks which is new.
