Penelope is looking for her forever family! BASICS: — Female — 1 year old — 8 pounds — Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped — Potty trained, crate trained — Dog, cat, kid friendly PERSONALITY: Spunky, playful, energetic, sweet. Loves to play fetch. She is not a huge snuggler; more independent and zooms more than lays. “Like a kid with ADHD”, lovingly described by her foster. She is a great traveler; rides great in the car. Prefers to walk/run versus being toted around and held. A kid or other dog to play with her and burn energy would probably be good for her. TRAINING: Potty trained, crate trained KIDS: Met kids aged 6+ and did wonderful with them. DOGS: Does well with other dogs, small to large. In foster with dogs. She can be a bit overwhelming to small calmer (e.g. small senior dogs) that don’t want to play with her, but she does fine with everyone nonetheless. CATS: Does well with them; in foster with cats. OTHER ANIMALS: Does well with goats and pigs. Barks at horses. HISTORY: Came into animal control as a stray with a broken leg. Underwent orthopedic surgery to repair the leg and made a full recovery; fully healed. LOCATION: Currently in foster in Meansville, GA. AVAILABILITY: Available for adoption or foster-to-adopt (FTA). FTA is a 2 week commitment-free trial run to make sure things are a fit before sealing the deal and officially adopting.

Story
Who is looking for a four legged life partner? Basics: -- 2.5 years old -- 60 pounds -- Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative -- Top notch cuddle snuggle bug -- Higher energy. Would love active adopter or fenced yard -- Needs to be only pet in home --Shy at first, but forever loyal once you are one of her people Need a buddy for walks, jogs, hikes? Samantha is down. Need a smile and chuckle watching the goofiest and happiest zoomies in the yard? Samantha’s gotchu. Zoomie all star. Need a supervisor for your weekend yard work or gardening plans? Samantha at your service. Bug, lizard, and frog hunting included for free. Also known pro at water hose management. Need someone to give finish those last few bites on your plate and vacuum up the crumbs as you cook? Samantha has trained for this moment. Need company winding down with Netflix at the end of the day and filling an empty spot on the bed? Samantha is 10/10 ready to snuggle. Need a creature full of so much innocence, love, and gratitude for you who looks at you as you are the most important and best thing in the world, and would be happy to do anything in life so long as they can do it with you? Samantha is waiting for you. 6 months ago, Samantha was left abandoned tied to a shipping container without food, water, or shelter. Reports verified she had been out there for at least 24+ hours, but signs pointed she had been stuck out there even longer than that. She vomited and defecated trash for over a week after rescue. Candy wrappers, sauce packets, she was eating anything she could reach on the tether in upmost desperation. She gut-wrenchingly cried and whined in pure panic and fear. Her neck told a story of struggle, a bald impression left from trying so desperately to get away from tether tying her to the container. She was also in heat, left tied in an area with so many roaming strays. But Samantha is forgiving. Samantha holds no grudges towards humans, rather looks to them with endless hope to receive love. Samantha will be someone’s very best friend and looked back as one of the best decisions they ever made in life AVAILABILITY: Available for adoption or foster-to-adopt (FTA). FTA is a two week, commitment free and pressure free, trial run to make sure things are a match before sealing the deal. LOCATION: Currently located in Jackson, GA. We do a home visit with all fosters/adopters, so no need to travel, we come to you anywhere within 2 hours of Jackson, GA!

Linda

Standard Poodle

Female, 2 yrs 6 mos
Jackson, GA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
BASICS: – Female – 2.5 years old – 45ish pounds – Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped – Potty trained, crate trained – Dog friendly, cat friendly – No young kids, needs another dog in home, flight risk PERSONALITY: Linda is very shy and timid at first, and needs someone with patience as she integrates into her new home/people/etc. She is avoidant of strangers and needs time to warm up. Once warmed up, Linda is very calm, happy-go-lucky, affectionate, and easy. DOGS: Lives in foster with other dogs. She does good with both small and big dogs. Another dog in the home is important for Linda's continual progression. CATS: Lives in foster with cats. She started off just peacefully coexisting and tolerating the cats, but has evolved to having cat friends. Her foster says her cats actually like Linda more than the resident dogs now after a couple months in foster. KIDS: Linda does not appreciate young children and is not a match for a home with them. TRAINING: Potty trained. Crate trained (continuing crating will be recommended – it is her safe space and she appreciates putting herself up in it at times where she needs a social break). Does not pull on a leash (though is kinda jumpy the whole time- going back to her skittish-ness). IDEAL HOME: She would do best having a woman in the home. Men are totally fine too, and Linda even calmly seeks them out for affection too once she warms up, but she thrives off of and leans off of having a woman in the home. Linda is also looking for a home with another dog(s). Linda is a FLIGHT RISK. It is extremely unlikely that Linda could be caught again if she escaped, so adopters must be prepared to take an abundance of caution to keep her safe and secure. BACKSTORY: Linda accidentally escaped from her owner this summer. She proved to be quite the evasive one and took nearly a month to recapture. After capture, convos with her owner revealed they did not think Linda was happy with them nor did they feel best equipped to manage medical rehab (Linda was injured while on the run and needed surgery). Linda was surrendered to us to follow and has recovered from hip surgery (FHO). LOCATION: Currently in foster in Atlanta, GA. AVAILABILITY: Available for adoption or foster-to-adopt (FTA). FTA is a two week, commitment free and pressure free, trial run to make sure things are a match before sealing the deal.
