Story
This is my last resort. I've ask all friends & family. Not enough room to say everything here. Lil Poe is a mix of a couple breeds. I have had him since he was small enough to fix in the palm of my hand. 4 years old, 21-22 lbs. We have a newer baby, & my job is very demanding so he isnt getting the attention he needs. He stays in his kennel (with the door open) during the day until he hears me home from work. My wife has tried to get him to come out during the day & play but he just doesnt seem to want to. He is very sweet. Loves squeaker balls, & ripping apart squeaker toys to get the squeaker lol. He loves to sleep under blankets, & between my legs is where he usually is when I'm home. He stayed with my sister once for about a week, it took him a couple days to actually want to move, eat, or drink water. She had a friend bring over their little dogs she said he had a blast & he started sleeping with her. He needs a loving home. Grew up with cats & dogs. He comes with lots of stuff.

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
Max was abandoned as a puppy and that's when we found him. For 2 years he's been living comfortably with other cats and a dog. Even though he likes to pester cats when he's bored everyone always got along great. He's got high energy, and lots of love to give and tends to even be a little jealous. Unfortunately due to a medical crisis nobody is able to look after him anymore the way he deserves. He's never been around kids but I have no doubt he would never bite a person or animal, even one he didn't know. He needs a quick rehoming because his home is no longer there and watching over him isn't possible.
