Story
Got from an old manager that needed him to have a home, he’s about 1 1/2. He thrives with kids, he absolutely loves them and loves to cuddle. He needs love and patience. He’s goofy, energetic, sweet, smart, and extremely athletic. I wish I could keep him but I am unfortunately having to move due to finances. It was supposed to be a foster for me anyway, but I fell in love with him so this is difficult.

Story
We found Kuiper on the side of the road, skinny and limping on a broken hip. We brought him home that night and immediately fell in love with him. After a short stay at the humane society, we decided to give him a home. Kuiper so sweet, but he is a sensitive boy who experiences anxiety, especially around new people. He can have fear reactions when meeting strangers and needs slow introductions, patience, and careful management. We fear that his life before us wasn't the best. In August of last year, we had twins! We hoped that Kuiper would embrace the babies as part of the family, but his nervousness prevails. He does well with other dogs and can peacefully coexist with cats, but Kuiper needs to be in a child-free home, as young children make him nervous. We have never had any incident with him, but in an abundance of caution, and with no shortage of heartbreak, we feel that he would have a better life in a child-free home.

Story
Meet Charli ❤️ Charli has been my girl since she was young. She is an adult Akita/Lab mix who has grown up as an indoor family dog, and I'm looking for the right permanent home for her.Charli will come with her belongings, including her bed, toys, food/storage supplies and her own grooming supplies. She has brushes and grooming tools, nail clippers, an electric nail grinder/trimmer and a pet-grooming vacuum. She does shed and needs regular brushing and coat care.Charli is on veterinarian-prescribed flea, tick and heartworm prevention, and her available veterinary information will go with her.This is not a first-come, first-served placement. I want this to be Charli's last move and will carefully choose the right home.Located in North Metro Atlanta. I'm willing to travel within Georgia or meet serious adopters coming from Tennessee or Alabama halfway for the right home.

Story
Nala is an 8-month-old sweetheart looking for an active, loving home. She was adopted in November, but my senior dog has become territorial and hasn’t adjusted to having a puppy around. Nala deserves a home where she has space to play and continue growing. She’s crate trained, on a potty schedule, walks well on a leash, and does great in public. She loves playing with my 3-year-old dog and has never shown aggression. She hasn’t been around children yet. Kennel, leash, food, and grooming kit included.She deserves the best forever family!

Sadie is almost 9 years old. Our family situation has changed and I am unable to care for her and provide what she needs. She likes lots of attention and treats. She does get stressed and does not enjoy car rides. She is still very strong and healthy for her age.

Story
I rescued this dog over 2 years ago from a friend that had puppy’s. For the first year she was perfect with the other dogs in my house. She got bit by one of the small dogs in my home and it turned her. She attacked him. She gets along w a large calm dog in my home. She is 2.5 years old. Vet gave her anxiety meds to see if that helps but since the small dogs are traumatized from the attacks I can’t keep her around them. They are older. She is a lover. She takes care of my autistic 5 year old nephew and loves cuddling in my bed with me. Loves all people. She loves chasing squirrels and birds in the back yard. She loves treats. It has gotten difficult on my older parents to keep all dogs separate and while I work. I work a lot. This is very hard for me. But my living situation just can’t handle this right now. When we go on walks she doesn’t even react. Maybe it’s the dogs in my house? I just want to find her a home to be spoiled in. It’s what she deserves.
