Story
Meet Hitokage (人影), a medium-sized German Shepherd/Lab mix. His name means human shadow because he will follow you around everywhere like a loyal little shadow.He is shy and hesitant at first. However, when he warms up to his person, they become his soul anchor. He is a sleek, athletic "street mode" dog with striking sporty looks, nimble paws, dewclaws, and an independent but deeply devoted spirit.Hitokage is very energetic, highly intelligent, and extremely trainable. His biggest motivations are simply pets, affection, and attention, but he loves treats too.He is just a good boy who needs a forever companion who is with him consistently to provide a calm, steady routine.

Story
AwesomeSauce is approximately 8 years old, 60 lbs, Bulldog/Pitbull/Terrier mix who has had quite a bit of change in her life recently. After her original owner passed away, she was brought from Texas to Georgia by the family and came into our care in March. She is a sweet, loving, and gentle dog who enjoys relaxing, chewing her bones, and playing with her stuffed toys. She is potty-trained, crate trained, spayed, up to date on vaccines, and knows basic commands like sit, say, and paw. Her biggest challenge is being left alone. She can become anxious and vocal, sometimes whining or barking, but she is not destructive. She would do best in a calm, stable, cat-free home and may be happiest as the only pet. We love AwesomeSauce dearly and are not rehoming her because she is unwanted. Our circumstances make it difficult to provide the time and stability she needs. She deserves a loving, patient home where she can feel safe, secure, and cherished.

Story
I bought Max when he 12 weeks old from breeder in Georgia. He has been a great dog and this is hard for me. Unfortunately, my family is not as supportive as a expected. In september I suffered a ruptured Achilles Tendon and had surgery on the 7th. I will not be able to care for Max as he deserves. My recovery will take months and with the lack of support of my family is facilitating this change.

Story
Sophie is a sweet, gentle 1–2-year-old girl who was originally found as a stray. She is affectionate, loves being close to her people, and settles beautifully when she feels safe and comfortable. Sophie can be timid at times, especially in new situations, but with patience and reassurance her loving personality quickly comes through. She would do best with a family where someone is home much of the day, someone who works from home, or a retired individual or couple looking for a devoted companion. Sophie does not do well in a crate, so she needs a home that won’t rely heavily on crating. With a calm, consistent routine and plenty of companionship, we think Sophie will make a wonderful addition to the right home.
