Story
My son adopted Glow from the rescue. Soon after, he found out that he was having twins. He moved in with me temporarily. After finding a place of his own, he could not take her because pets were not allowed. I have had her since 2024. I am not a pet person. I have asked multiple organizations and people if they would take her. I have reached out to every source I know of. I am going to have to give her to the shelter. If you have a home for her please let me know. I really do not want to take her to the shelter. She loves to play. She is very friendly. She get happy when the twins come visit. Please, please help me find her a home.

Story
We adopted Odin from the Atlanta Humane Society when he was a puppy. He is beyond a good dog. He is now seven, and we are unable to give him the exercise he requires. Our schedule doesn't allow us to be as active as it used to be for him. This has caused him to act out by eating off the counters, growling if our baby gets near him, and occasionally showing obedience. This is all on us since we can't get him stimulated as he needs, and that hurts me. I want him to go somewhere that he will get all the attention and exercise that his breed desires. He is a good boy and an awesome companion when he gets to work. He is a bit wild around other dogs, so some may want to fight, but he is friendly if they are equally wild. The fee is to ensure he goes to someone who really wants him and can afford to provide for him.

Story
Colby is a sweet and loving dog. He loves toys, peanut butter and chicken & is very active. Colby doesn’t get along with other dogs and would do best in a one pet household. He’s very frigid and barks at almost everything. He’s impulsive thus making him hard to train and unfortunately we’ve done everything we can to motivate him to listen but no solution. Though we love him, we unfortunately no longer have the time to give him the training/care he needs. Looking for a loving home for our boy.

Story
Hello I have an American Pit Bull he is 8 months old. I just found out due to his size and breed I can’t keep him in my apartment. He is sweet, potty trained, he will have mishaps in and there but he is potty trained. We was headed to get the shots but since I have to get rid of him so soon we don’t have time. He is great with kids, very playful but also he is good at protecting his home. We are looking for a good home for him.

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Puppy
McDonough, GA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I picked him up from someone who adopted a dog that ended up being pregnant. He is now about 8 months old and is a Pit Bull / Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) mix. He’s a very energetic, loving, and intelligent dog who thrives on activity and attention. Because of a recent job change and having small children, I unfortunately don’t have the time or space to give him the exercise and structure he needs. He would do best with an active owner or a home with a yard where he can run and burn off energy. He is very affectionate, smart, and loyal, but like many young working-breed mixes he can also be stubborn and full of energy, so he would do best with someone who has experience with energetic dogs and can provide consistent training and activity. All shots are up to date with the exception of Canine Influenza (H3N8 and H3N2). I’m looking for a home that can give him the time, space, and attention he deserves.

Story
Meet Cesar — one of the sweetest, fun, people loving puppies you will ever meet. He loves to play, run, fetch, go for walks and car rides. He loves to make friends of all kinds, including cows and horses. He needs space to run and play and if you have another animal friend to play with he would be most happy. The only reason for us needing to re-home is that we are also caregivers to elderly parents and unfortunately recently and unexpectedly lost our main income. We want this sweet boy to be well taken care of, something that we are not able to do anymore. We have had him for less than a year and if it were not for circumstances that we cannot control he would still be a part of the family. We love him so much that we want to give him to someone that can provide a better home to him. Thank you for considering him 💕
