Story
Luci is a loving 6 year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian/Terrier mix male dog. He enjoys being held, being cuddled, and loves attention. He loves going outside and sunbathing. He is also very playful and enjoys playing with his owners and toys. He does well with our older female dogs, but can get aggressive towards them if he is being bothered or gets food aggression. I would prefer for him to be the only dog in the household and around no children just to be safe. He is extremely afraid of thunderstorms, and will cry if he is alone, but if he’s with an adult he is fine. He can also get separation anxiety. Unfortunately, I didn’t know about littermate syndrome, and his brother and him are getting more aggressive towards each other and that is the main reason he is being rehomed. Luci would make a great companion to anyone who is willing to give him the love and attention he deserves.

Story
Cooper is an 8 year old lab mix who has been with us since he was 10 weeks. Coopy is such a ham, who loves his belly full and a good couch cuddle. He loves stuffed animals we call his “baby” and napping. He’s an indoor dog who is a bit of a lazy bones. Unfortunately, we had to move 3 times in year and also now have a new born so Coopy is on Prozac to help his nerves. He has a history of fear aggression towards dogs larger than him (so far has been ok with small dogs and seniors). I do believe with the right owner he could befriend any dog. Coopy is a sensitive boy who has so much love to give and deserves more than what we can currently give him. But he needs someone who will help him adjust to a new home and be patient. After that I know he’d be the best dog.

Story
Suki, a 4 year old Chiweenie was adopted from Atlanta Humane in early 2023. She loves to be rubbed and showered with attention. Fetch is her favorite activity! She knows & understands simple commands (i.e. yes, no, come here, wait, outside & treat- her favorite). She enjoys sunbathing and being outside with the family. She is also crate trained and knows it as her “bed” & is house trained. Like most dogs, Suki has great hearing and barks whenever she hears something or someone she’s unfamiliar with. She definitely lets the house know (by barking) when someone is at the door or comes to visit. She’s not a fan of baths or the vacuum cleaner. Suki was diagnosed with IVDD in late September which caused temporary paralysis. She’s recovered and is back walking. She has a little wobble when running, sometimes causing her to fall down but she’s able to get up immediately. Up-to-date with Rabies vaccine only.

Story
Opie is a gentle happy soul. He enjoys long walks with a view. He really likes staring at cows and grazing like one. His favorite pastime is rolling around in grass and fetch. Think Airbud but cuter. He likes a wet and dry food combo. He understands the commands, wait, sit, and no. He is house trained. He is a mild mannered boy who just looking for belly rubs. We think Opie is around 5 but are unsure. We came to care for him after a family member abandoned him at our family home. Unfortunately my parents are older and unable to care for him. I'm relocating out of state and my partner and I can no longer care for him. We are looking for preferably experienced pet owners to take him on. We also want someone who has the time and space for him.
