Story
Ivy is a 5-6 year old, 10 lb girl. She came to us with her two puppies who have since been adopted. Now, it's this mama's turn! Though shy at first, as soon as she warms up, she is your shadow. She just needs patience to get to that point. Ivy is great with other dogs and cats. She is crate-trained and doing well with house-training. She enjoys sleeping in bed and snuggling up right next to you. Ivy enjoys following the other dogs around and learning from them. She is not comfortable on a leash with people she doesn't know and does REQUIRE a fenced in yard. Ivy is pretty quiet in her foster home and very low maintenance. To adopt this little girl, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $300, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental.

Story
1 year old, 38 lb English Springer Spaniel mix, Leia is the sweetest dog you never knew you needed and will make a great addition for the right family. She loves nothing better than to cuddle on the couch or the bed with her favorite humans and run around the yard playing with her doggy friends. She is shy at first with her humans and still learning to trust. But with time, patience, and love, she will be the quintessential “velcro dog” and give you all the hugs and doggy kisses you could ask for. She is house trained and behaves when her humans aren’t home. Leia REQUIRES a calm household with another dog(s). Ideally a family, couple, or person where someone is home most of the time and a confident dog for her to be friends with will help Leia to settle in and trust her new family. A secure fenced in yard is a requirement as well. As far as children, only families with teenage children and older will be considered. An adult only home is great as well. To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $350, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, dental cleaning, and heartworm testing.

Story
Meet Ollie — a 42-lb black and white parti poodle with a gentle soul and a heart full of hope. Born 2/28/25, he arrived at Orphan Annie Rescue uncertain and timid, having known very little human contact. Slowly, lovingly, he is emerging from his shell, revealing the playful, curious puppy hiding beneath the fear. Ollie’s personality is tender and sweet. He has no aggression in him, only caution. He is still shy around people but now allows a few trusted humans to pet him. His true confidence comes from being around other dogs - they are his role models, his comfort, and his teachers. The right home for Ollie will include at least one confident, larger dog (preferably more). His family will need patience, gentleness, and an understanding of timid dogs. He will also require a fenced-in yard where he can play and explore safely. Daily life with Ollie includes joyful play with other dogs, running, chasing balls, and occasional roughhousing. He’s leash trained, rides calmly in the car, is crate trained (but happiest snuggled in bed with his foster dad), and is motivated by food — which helps his training journey. Grooming will be part of his routine as a standard poodle. He’s still learning to tolerate baths and grooming tools, but brushing is going great, and he's making steady progress. As he grows, Ollie will likely become a larger standard poodle given his current size. Ollie is a special boy. With guidance from confident canine siblings and a kind, patient family, he will continue to blossom into a loyal and joyful companion. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $400, which includes my shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, and deworming. You must live in METRO Atlanta to adopt him.

Story
Milo is a 3 year old, 35 lb sweetie. Though shy initially, once this sweet boy opens up, he's as goofy as they come! He loves to run around and play with the other dogs in his foster home and give kisses to his foster mom. He also loves cuddles. Milo is a joyful boy who is very food motivated. He is working on house-training in his foster home. He gets very excited and happy when he gets attention, and it's just adorable when he wiggles his whole body in happiness. Milo is not fond of being crated, but he will go in on his own with the door closed. Requirement: A fenced in yard and another dog. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org. His adoption fee is $350, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Otter is a 2-year-old, 11 lb Xoloitzcuintli mix with a sweet, loving personality. She is happiest when she’s right by your side and truly enjoys being close to her people. Otter is both toy- and food-motivated and loves carrying her toys around, proudly squeaking them as she goes. She enjoys running and playing with other dogs and can happily have dog friends for playtime. However, Otter does not do well sharing resources like toys, so to truly thrive, she needs a home as an only dog. Playdates and supervised romps with other dogs are still a great fit for her! Otter is currently not comfortable walking on leash. We are actively working with her on this, but at this time she requires a securely fenced yard so she can safely exercise and explore. Otter would do best in a home that can provide consistency, patience, and lots of love—along with toys she can call her own. She is working diligently on house-training and crate-training. To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $400, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, dental cleaning, and deworming.

Story
Meet Ernest! Ernest is a sweet 3-year-old mini poodle weighing in at 17 pounds of love. His favorite place in the world? Curled up on a cozy pillow right next to you. This happy little guy’s tail is always wagging, especially when he gets to greet his favorite people. Ernest is a true companion dog who loves to follow you from room to room, eagerly waiting to see what you’ll do next. Whether it’s relaxing on the couch or heading to the kitchen, he’s just happy to be by your side. He’s food-motivated and a quick learner, which makes training a fun and rewarding experience. Ernest has been doing well with house training but, like most dogs, will just need a bit of patience and consistency as he settles into a new routine in his forever home. He walks beautifully on a leash, with only brief pauses to stop to smell the flowers. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate little shadow with a gentle heart and a wagging tail, Ernest might be the perfect match for you. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $350, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.
