PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES—ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY—WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Meet Dusty, one of Andie’s adorable “Three Amigos”! Dusty is an 8-week-old mixed-breed puppy whose mama, Andie, is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. This sweet, healthy little boy has been growing alongside his brothers, Lucky and Ned, and is now ready to find a family of his own! At this age, everything is a learning opportunity. Dusty needs a patient family ready to guide him through potty training, crate training, puppy chewing, and learning how to settle. Consistent routines, age-appropriate play, and plenty of sleep will help him grow into a confident companion. Your family will have support every step of the way! Dusty is part of the Ozzie Albies Foundation’s Best Chance Program, which includes three required training sessions and ongoing guidance. Our trainers will help you establish crate training, structured feeding, place work, and good habits from the beginning. We’re looking for a committed adopter who will attend the training sessions, follow our trainers’ guidance, and continue practicing at home. You’ll also receive free access to the Mirror Image Extended Pack, a virtual training community where you can ask questions, receive trainer support, and connect with other dog owners. Dusty’s adoption fee is waived, and the foundation will cover his neuter surgery when he is old enough and cleared by our veterinarian. Puppyhood takes time and commitment, and Dusty deserves a family ready to support him through every stage of life. If that sounds like you, complete the adoption application above!

PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES – ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY – WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Pam is a 1-year-old, 35-pound sweetheart who is looking for her forever family. Pam’s journey began when her mama, a small Pinscher mix, was rescued while pregnant. After giving birth, Pam was fortunate enough to stay with her mama until she was 10 weeks old, giving her a wonderful start in life. She was adopted as a puppy and spent the last year with her family. Unfortunately, due to significant life changes beyond anyone’s control, they made the heartbreaking decision to return her to rescue so she could find the stability and attention she deserves. Pam is healthy, happy, incredibly smart, and absolutely loves people. She is a true social butterfly who thrives when she has friends by her side. Whether she’s meeting new people, playing with other dogs, or simply hanging out with her family, Pam is always ready to be part of the action. She’s also very intelligent and eager to learn. Pam picks up on new things quickly and loves having a job to do. When she’s not showing off her smarts, you’ll find her soaking up the sunshine, relaxing beside her favorite people, or cuddling up after a day of fun. At just one year old, Pam is still very much a young dog. Like all puppies and adolescents, she’s continuing to learn and mature. Dogs don’t fully mature until around two years of age, so she’ll do best with a family that understands the commitment, patience, and consistency that come with raising a young dog. The good news? You won’t be doing it alone. Why Adopt Pam Through Our Best Chance Program? We are committed to helping both dogs and adopters succeed. • Training sessions through our trusted partners • Ongoing support from our rescue team whenever questions come up • Updated vaccines and preventative care • Spay/neuter included through one of our partner veterinarians • Lifetime commitment, if life ever changes, all of our dogs always have a place to come back to Our goal is not just to find Pam a home. Our goal is to find her the right home, the one where she’ll be loved, understood, and cherished for the rest of her life. Pam has already experienced one family saying goodbye through no fault of her own. We would love nothing more than to see her find her forever family once and for all. If you’re serious about adding a wonderful companion to your family and are ready for the commitment of a young dog, Pam may be the perfect match for you. Apply today and give Pam the forever home she deserves.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES – ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY – WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Madi Peeps and her sister, Stevi Peeps, were found alone in the woods over Easter weekend, no microchip, no one searching for them, and clearly in distress. A rescue partner stepped in quickly, got them to the vet, and gave them the care they needed. At just 8 weeks old, they were thankfully healthy and ready for a second chance. Madi is the quieter, more sensitive of the two. She is shy and takes time to feel safe, but she has a very gentle, observant personality. She is the type of puppy who watches first, processes her environment, and then slowly builds trust. Once she starts to feel comfortable, her sweet nature really begins to show. She thrives around other dogs and gains a lot of confidence from them. A home with a calm, well-balanced dog will help her continue to come out of her shell and adjust more quickly. She is not a bold, outgoing puppy right away, she will need patience, structure, and consistency from her adopter. We are not exactly sure of her breed mix, but based on her size and features, we estimate she will be a medium-sized dog, likely around 40–50 lbs fully grown. Madi will do best in a home that understands how to properly guide a timid puppy, giving her clear structure, slow introductions, and the time she needs to build confidence. With the right environment, she has strong potential to become a very loyal and deeply bonded companion. Why Adopt From Us? • Best Chance Program: includes a structured transition period with training sessions through our trusted partners to set everyone up for success • Adoption Fee Covers: spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccines, and a month of flea & heartworm prevention • Lifetime Support: we’re always here for you and your dog for life Madi Peeps may not be the most outgoing at first, but she is the kind of dog who will form a deep connection with her person. She just needs someone willing to give her the time and guidance to grow into her confidence. If you are ready to help a shy puppy become her best self, apply today.

Abby is an adorable Labrador Retriever mix who is approximately 3 months old, and she is an absolute sweetheart. She loves other dogs, is always happy to make a new friend, and enjoys meeting new people. She’s social, playful, healthy, and has such a happy personality. Abby is already doing great with house training, but like any puppy, she will need a family who understands that the puppy stage takes time, patience, consistency, and continued training. Through the Ozzie Albies Foundation, her future family will receive training support as part of our adoption program to help set her up for long-term success. Abby is fully vetted for her age, and when she reaches approximately six months old, the Ozzie Albies Foundation will cover the cost of her spay. Her adoption fee is WAIVED, and we are looking for a loving home for her in Georgia. If you’re interested in giving Abby her forever home, please complete an adoption application through our website. Once we receive your application, a member of our team will give you a call to learn more about your family and see if Abby could be the right match.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES – ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY – WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Meet Lasso! 🤎 This handsome shepherd mix puppy is around 11 months old, weighs about 41 lbs, and has only just begun his fresh start. Lasso was recently pulled from Cobb County Animal Control, where the shelter environment had become overwhelming for him. He was very scared when we met him, and like many sensitive dogs, the stress of kennel life was causing him to become more and more fearful as time went on. Now that he’s safe with rescue, Lasso is getting the chance to decompress, exhale, and learn that the world can be a kinder place. Because he is so new to us, we are intentionally giving him the time and space he needs to settle in before making any big claims about his personality. Right now, our focus is helping him feel safe, build confidence, and adjust to life outside the shelter. What we do know already is that Lasso is a beautiful young dog with so much potential ahead of him. At only 11 months old, he is still very much a puppy and has plenty of time to blossom into an incredible companion with the right guidance and patience. We’ll continue updating his profile as we learn more about him, his likes, and the kind of home where he’ll thrive most. Why Adopt From Us? • Best Chance Program: includes a 30-day transition period with training support through our trusted partners. • Adoption Fee Covers: neuter, updated vaccines, and preventative care. • Lifetime Support: we’re always here for you and your new dog.
