Story
Murphy is truly the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. He just wants to be loved and be around his people 24/7. We adopted him in 2024, and he has been such a fun, affectionate, and loyal part of our family ever since. Over time, our family dynamic changed in ways we didn’t expect. After becoming pregnant with our third child, we also welcomed our newborn niece into our home. We now have four little ones under four, and life has become beautifully busy—but also very full. Because of that, Murphy hasn’t been getting the time, attention, and love he truly deserves. He is a wonderful dog—very high energy, playful, and incredibly loving. He thrives on attention, cuddles, and being close to his people. He does great with our girls, is house trained, and has the funniest personality. He’s also a little curious if things are left out and is definitely used to being spoiled with snacks from the kids. This decision is not easy for us, but we know it would be unfair to Murphy to keep him.

Story
Shadow is a 10-month-old, mixed breed with a soft heart and gentle soul. He came in as a stray and was terrified when he first arrived, so scared he had to be carried because he pancaked to the floor. Since then, he has been slowly learning that people can be kind and life can be safe. Shadow is kennel trained, very quiet, and has had no accidents in his foster home. With patience and love, this sweet boy will blossom into a loyal companion for a family willing to help him continue building his confidence.

Story
🐾 Meet Bandit Bandit is a smart, energetic little guy with tons of personality packed into one puppy body. He’s more high-strung than his brother, but in the best way—he’s alert, curious, and incredibly intelligent. Potty breaks are a breeze with Bandit; he gets his business done immediately and efficiently, though he often tries to negotiate for a little extra outdoor time before heading back inside. In the evenings—especially around 9pm—he’s known to get the zoomies and show off his playful side. Bandit is very food motivated and learns quickly, though he can be a bit protective of his food, so he currently eats comfortably in his crate. He’s excellent on a leash, loves to cuddle once he settles, and is an absolute sweetheart with a big, lovable personality. Bandit and his brother Bullet were rescued from a drainage pipe beside a busy road, where they were found huddled together. That early bond is still part of who he is today—loving, resilient, and eager to form strong connections with his people.

Blu

Husky Retriever (Unknown Type)

Female, Young
Cartersville, GA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Blu was acquired from a friend who asked if I could care for her while they found and got settled into a new place. At the current place, they could not keep her. They ended up going back to their home country. I can no longer care for her. She is very friendly and full of energy. I believe she is trainable, but with me working all the time, I do not have the time she needs to be the best she can be. She loves rubs and being chased around the yard space we have. Once you get to know Blu and give her the time she needs, she will flourish. She understands some commands and learns easily with time and patiences.
