His name is Rocky. I’ve had him since he was a puppy, he turns 3 in November. He’s a great dog with a high play drive. Prefers fetch with a launch it stick. I truly don’t want to give him away but with me being in the military and starting a family is a little difficult. Rocky going to a good home is one of the main things I care about.

Story

Ava is probably one of the sweetest, mildest - tempered dogs there ever was! She is an approx. 9 to 10 - month old female spayed Pit Bull - Mix breed dog. She was found roaming stray and would retreat to an abandoned house durning inclement weather. She loves toys, sunbathing and her fun-loving playmate Mayflower (shown in photos below). Ava is people and dog friendly and curious about the neighbor's cats. Cuddling is Ava's specialty! Thus far, commands learned include sit, down, NO, Leave it, Let's Go!, Breakfast!, hungry, treat, and Supper-time! She is, indeed, food - motivated and is easy to train. Although she loves the outdoors, Ava wants to be inside with her family -- she would love to be included in a loving, active home. She is UTD on vaccines and preventatives. Ava's adoption fee is negotiable and will be donated to a Rescue or No - kill Humane Society of the adopter's choosing. Nothing but the best for this sweet and loving girl!!

He barks he needs to go outside to use the bathroom. He knows 3 tricks, "give me paw", "sit" ,and "spin". All I want is for him to find a good home with a lot of love.

Jawa

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Senior

Columbus, GA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jawa, I consider a rescue. I acquired her privately when she was a puppy. She had a broken left foot and femur. I believe she was abused. Her leg could’ve been amputated however I paid for the surgery to save her leg. Jawa was born February 16, 2015. Her original name was Oreo. I renamed her Jawa, after the Star Wars character, because of her color and I’m a fan of the franchise. Jawa loves to socialize with dogs and people. She will stay by your side when going for a walk. Jawa is energetic for her age and still jumps around like a puppy when she sees loved ones. She’s excellent as a security dog. She’ll always let you know when someone is approaching the home. Jawa doesn’t like visiting the veterinarian clinic. She gets nervous because I believe she remembers her past surgery. I would like for Jawa to have a home where she can bond with her new master and have a place to enjoy outdoor time or walks.

Bella

Mutt

Female, Young

Columbus, GA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted Bella in January 2025. The vet has estimated she is about 7 months old. We are moving to Texas at the end of this month and are looking to rehome Bella before then. She has developed some behavioral issues around our other dog, guarding toys and treats and acting increasingly aggressive towards him. It is starting to affect his temperament as well. These behavioral issues combined with financial and logistical pressures from our upcoming move have led us to decide to rehome her. Bella would benefit immensely from a single dog household, and needs caring, attentive, experienced owners who are willing to give her lots of time and love. She is the sweetest, cuddliest, most energetic and animated dog. She loves exploring outside, running, swimming, and playing at the dog park with friends. She adores humans and is the clingiest girl ever. She will sit curled up in your arms or on your lap all day if you let her. Please help us get this sweet girl a home!
