Story
Meet Bolt! Bolt is a sweet, loving 2½-year-old boy who loves to play and does well with a smaller dog. He came to me when an older family member could no longer care for him. I believed it would be temporary, but unfortunately, she is no longer able to take him back. When Bolt came to me, he had never received proper veterinary care and was heartworm positive. I made sure he received the treatment he needed, and his heartworms have been taken care of. He also has an appointment to be neutered, and I will cover that cost if he is adopted before his appointment. Bolt is such a good boy, and this is not something I ever planned on doing. I work 16-hour days and travel frequently, so I simply cannot give him the time and attention he deserves. I want to find Bolt a loving, permanent home where he can play, be loved, and be part of a family. He deserves that!

Story
Meet Jett!  At just 9 months old, Jett is a handsome German Shepherd mix with a wonderful combination of brains, athleticism, and an incredibly sweet personality. This boy loves life—and he especially loves being on the go! Whether he’s running, playing chase, or showing off his skills, Jett is always ready for some fun. Jett is a smart boy who already knows his basic obedience commands and is eager to keep learning. He’s well behaved for his age and is working hard on mastering his house training. With his intelligence and desire to please, we expect him to continue picking things up quickly. But what Jett really wants most isn’t a job or a game—it’s his person. He loves everyone he meets and would happily spend his days right beside you, whether you’re out for an adventure or simply hanging out at home. He’s the kind of companion who wants to be part of whatever you’re doing and will happily follow his favorite person wherever they go. If you’re looking for a smart, active, affectionate young dog who will keep you company and keep you smiling, Jett may be your perfect match! If you'd like to meet Jett, fill out an adoption application: https://luckydaypuppies.org/adopt/ ##2847291##

Story
Harley Quinn — One-of-a-Kind, Big-Hearted Puppy Meet Harley Quinn, one yearold sweetheart who’s part Great Pyrenees and part… unicorn? Whatever her mix is, she’s pure magic. Harley is a social butterfly who loves kids and people and truly never meets a stranger. She enjoys car rides, walks beautifully on a leash, and is crate trained. Harley has been raised around cats, kittens, and other dogs, and she’s been exposed to cows, pigs, and a large goat with no issues. She has not been around chickens, so she’ll need supervision in that area. She would thrive in an active home where she gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Harley enjoys chewing and benefits from supervision and appropriate chew toys. She loves toys, bones, and has a naturally happy, gentle nature. Harley is fully vetted and ready to find her forever family. Dogs and puppies are spayed or neutered, Heartworm negative, microchipped, appropriately vaccinated and treated for parasites. Applications to adopt can be found at harthumane.org. If you cannot adopt a pet at this time but would like to support our rescue, donations can be mailed to Hart County Humane Society P.O. BOX 1062 Hartwell GA. 30643 or online at harthumane.org. The Hart County Humane Society is an all-volunteer rescue, we receive no government funding and rely on donations to fund our lifesaving programs ##2812731##
