Story

Milton is an energetic and sweet dog. We adopted him in January 2026, after we had fostered him since October 2025. He loves to play, take walks, and roam the house looking for anyone and anything to play with. He has never shown any aggression towards other dogs or cats that we have witnessed, seen, or were told from the animal rescue. He has been prefect with kids aged 2-17 and adults. He loves everyone, and has an infectious smile that he does whenever you see him. Unfortunately we have to re-home him due to conflicting work schedules between myself and my wife, and some allergy concerns with our oldest son. The best home for Milton would be somewhere he can have plenty of outdoor space, a loving family with kids, and another pet to keep him company. However, I believe he would fit into just about any family dynamic imaginable.

Story

Update: she is available for adoption if profile is still up. Please, serious inquiries only. There have been lots of interest but we are still waiting for a committed adopter to follow through with meeting up. Zoe is a 7 year-old 30 lb female Frenchie that loves to play fetch and go on walks, she is very exercise tolerant, crate-trained and is house broken. She is good with kids but needs to be introduced to other dogs. She gets along with dogs that she is familiar with. Would prefer her to be adopted by someone who is familiar with the breed. She needs a loving and forever home with people that will love and care for her.

Story

My name is Kaleb and this is my dog Bailey. I regretfully have to make a decision to rehome my dog and would love to keep her out of any kind of shelter and go straight to rehoming. Bailey is amazing around any human and animal. The only downside is she believes she is a small dog. She loves everyone and is also perfectly house trained. I want her to go to a loving home and dont want an adoption fee included as this is already a hard decision for me to make. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have!

Thor

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Young

Columbus, GA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, this sweet boy Thor is roughly around a year and half. We’ve had him for a few months. His previous owners were just fostering him and unfortunately we aren’t the right family for him. He’s high energy but also makes a great cuddler. Here are key reasons as to why we have to rehome. He needs more redirection when it comes to be being around other dogs but specifically with food. That’s the only time he is aggressive or when he’s getting checked for injuries and it’s not ideal when having children or other dogs. That’s the only reason why I put not good with kids other than that he’s been fine with my son. I just truly want him to have a loving home. Would be ideal for someone who’s got experience in training and needs a good companion. He’s a good boy just needs some training.

Story

Cari, as we call her is a sweet soul. We rescued her from a breeder, got her fixed immediately. My husband works 2 full time jobs, as I am disabled from strokes and a brain hemmorage in 2021. Now I suffer from seizures . Last week I put hey on her lead and she went to walk to use the bathroom and my feet got caught up and I fell and hit my head. She felt so bad, she just n licked me and laid beside me until I could come to. She deserves a more equipped home with a family that can give her more time and loving than I can give her while my husband works.
