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
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
Harry is a 3-year-old, 12-lb American Hairless Terrier with a heart as big as his personality. This silly, sweet boy was found as a stray with no microchip or ID and was never reclaimed from animal control. Now he’s ready for a forever home where he can finally settle in and be loved the way he deserves. Harry truly loves everyone. He can be a little nervous when first meeting new people, but he warms up quickly, and once he does, he won’t want to leave your side. He has a nice balance of energy and calm: he enjoys playtime and walks, but he’s also perfectly happy cuddling on the couch with his favorite human (or humans!). He walks fairly well on a leash and does great with both dogs and cats. In fact, Harry REQUIRES a home with another dog, as he really thrives with canine companionship. Because Harry can get mouthy when he’s excited and playful, we don’t think he’d be a good fit for a home with young children. We are actively working on teaching him gentler play, and he’s making progress, but an adult or older-teen household would be best. He is crate-trained and working on house-training. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will make you laugh, keep you company, and love you endlessly—especially if you already have a dog—Harry just might be your perfect match. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee of $500 includes his neuter, shots up-to-date, microchipping, 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 Tom Sawyer an 20lb, 9 month old terrier mix with a calm, loving nature far beyond his puppy months. Tom is gentle, intuitive, and incredibly sweet. He may be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and becomes a loyal, affectionate companion. His favorite place is right by your side (or better yet, in your lap). He loves cuddling, follows his people from room to room, and has wonderful manners, and he’s happy to settle wherever he’s asked. Tom is crate trained and does beautifully, sleeping quietly through the night and staying content when crated for short periods. He’s doing great with house training when given regular potty breaks and will let you know when he needs to go out by whining. He’s a smart boy who already knows “sit,” is food motivated, and eager to keep learning. He walks and potties on leash and just needs a little confidence boost with doorways. Tom loves kids and adores his 13-year-old foster brother. Because he’s still learning polite greetings, a home with kids ages 5+ would be best. He also enjoys playing with his foster dog brother, gently hoards his toys in a pile in his favorite spot, and takes his backyard squirrel patrol duties very seriously. Tom Sawyer will make a wonderful family dog for someone looking for a cuddly, calm, and deeply loving companion. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $400, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, deworming, and heartworm testing.
