Story
🐾 Meet Roxie! ❤️ Roxie has been with me since she was a puppy, and she is truly a special girl. I’ve put a lot of time, love, and training into her. She is potty trained, knows her name, comes to a specific whistle I use, and can walk off leash. She is incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of personality! Roxie can be shy with strangers and needs a little time and patience to feel comfortable. Once she trusts you, she becomes your best buddy and loves affection. She is definitely more of a “girls’ girl” and usually opens up to women quickly, while she may take longer to warm up to men. She has the cutest ways of communicating. She’ll give a little “whisper bark” at the door when she needs to go potty, and when she’s hungry, she’ll hold her paw out like she’s asking you to shake. 🥹 Roxie deserves a loving forever home with someone who will be patient with her, appreciate her personality, and treat her like family. ❤️🐶

Story
Found on the side of the road over the summer. Took to the vert and got rid of all the parasites and up to date on shots. Had a horrible ear infection. Needed meds and time to heal. She is all healed up, but our other dog doesn't get along with her. She does well with our kids, but unknown with our cat. Very playful and good on a leash. Can escape from a fence if not locked. Very sweet, loves play time, etc. Does well with other dogs. It is our dog we already had that is grumpy around her. Vet did not know if she was spayed.

Nova

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Carrollton, GA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Nova is a sweet young female dog who can be very shy and fearful, especially around unfamiliar people or busy environments. She enjoys being outside, especially when it is dark and quiet, and she loves playing with my other dog when she feels comfortable. When there are not many people around, she is much more relaxed, playful, and able to be herself. Nova can become scared when people walk by or approach her, and her first instinct is usually to run away. When she becomes extremely frightened and goes into fight-or-flight mode, she may run around and occasionally have an accident. I have tried calming medication prescribed by her veterinarian, but it did not seem to help her anxiety. I am looking for a patient, calm, and understanding home for Nova preferably with someone who has experience with fearful or anxious dogs and can give her the time she needs to build trust. A quieter home with a secure yard and possibly another friendly dog may help her feel more comfortable.

Story
This is Juda 🐾🩷She is a little over 1 year old and is such a sweet, happy girl. She can be a little timid at times, but once she feels comfortable, she loves to play, run around outside, and get plenty of cuddles.She is not fully house-trained yet, but it is a work in progress. I got her at a later age, so she is still learning and would benefit from someone who is patient and willing to continue working with her.She may also have some separation anxiety, although I’m not completely sure. Because of this, I’m looking for a loving home where someone will have the time and patience to help her feel safe and secure.More than anything, she deserves a family who will make time for her, love her unconditionally, give her lots of attention, and spoil her with all the cuddles she deserves. ❤️I want to make sure she goes to a loving, responsible forever home where she will always be appreciated and taken care of properly.

Story
Gawain is a 6 month old Hound mix with unique facial markings that give this handsome boy an extra special look! As a member of our Knights of the Round Table litter, Gawain is ready for an adventure of his own - and his playful, endearing personality makes him impossible not to love. He currently lives peacefully with his brothers and enjoys all the fun that comes with being a young pup. One of Gawain’s sweetest habits is the way he greets human visitors where he gently reaches his paws up toward you, as if politely saying, “Please notice me!” This friendly boy is dreaming of a forever family where he can be cherished, showered with attention, and grow into the wonderful companion he’s meant to be. Come meet Gawain and let this little knight win your heart!   The adoption fee covers the spay/neuter surgery, a 1-year rabies shot, an fvrcp shot (feline distemper/upper respiratory vaccine), test for feline aids and leukemia, deworming, and microchip.
