We adopted Munson from the Atlanta Humane Society in January 2017. Munson loves being outdoors, free-roaming, chasing frisbees, and taking lazy naps in the sunshine. He’s at his best when he has space to run around and enjoys other dogs. He has lots of energy for his age but does enjoy snuggling close when given the opportunity. He plays hard and crashes hard.

Story
We got Ruby Red as a baby. She is a good dog who loves to take walks and be lazy in the couch! She was raised around kids and cats and other dogs. Due to taking in a disabled family member, we had to put her outside during the day time and it's been hard for her to adjust. She thinks she a lap dog and doesn't realize her size. She has been staying outside in a dog pen during the day time and sleeps in a crate at night. She is very lovable and gets along with our other dog. She is a coonhound so she has that howl.

Bailey

Labrador Retriever Boxer

Male, Senior
Commerce, GA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bailey is a 9 year old boxer/lab mix with a sweet and gentle personality. He is very food oriented when it comes to following commands. He enjoys play wrestling with his brother Champ (dog), but most of the time you will find him chilling with a chew toy. He loves car rides and cuddling up right beside you to sleep. At first, he can be shy and timid when meeting new people, but once he is comfortable with you he is loving. He is missing his left back leg, but that doesn't stop him from living his best life and getting around on his own with a little encouragement. His resilience is admirable, and his heart is full of love.
