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
**You must live in Metro Atlanta to adopt her** Just like her famous namesake, Liza Minnelli knows she’s a star… the only difference is she’d rather perform zoomies than Broadway numbers. Liza is a 5 year old, 13 lb Poodle mix (with what we suspect is a splash of Dachshund) who has perfected the art of living her best life. Her daily schedule is simple: eat breakfast, immediately request a potty break, race around the yard with her foster siblings at top speed, play with every toy she can find, demand belly rubs, and then curl up next to her favorite human like she pays the bills. She’s incredibly loyal and happiest when she’s with her family. Whether you’re watching TV, working from home, or just existing, Liza believes your lap (or at least the spot right beside you) is exactly where she belongs. She’s also a bit of a food critic. Fancy training treats? Meh. Carrots? Hard pass. Fruit? Absolutely not. She’d like to file a formal complaint that affection isn’t sold by the pound because belly rubs are the only reward she truly values. Liza is crate trained while you’re away, enjoys the comfort of a routine, and is ready to bring plenty of laughs, love, and cuddles to her forever family. If you’re looking for a tiny best friend with a big personality, championship-level zoomies, and an endless supply of snuggles, Liza Minnelli is ready for her standing ovation. Liza does NOT leash walk, so she REQUIRES a fenced in yard. Unfortunately, Liza's previous home did not keep her on heartworm preventative, so she does have heartworms. Her treatment is included in the adoption fee, but this is why she must stay in Metro Atlanta, so she can get to our vet partners. Apply to adopt her on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $400, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, dental cleaning, and heartworm treatment.

Story
Kahlua is a 3 year old, 20 lb Havanese mix with adorable long legs that give her a unique, elegant look. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people but warms up quickly and shows her true personality: a sweet, snuggly girl who loves to follow her people around and be their little shadow. Kahlua gets along well with both dogs and cats, making her a great addition to a multi-pet home. She isn’t a big fan of being crated, which isn’t surprising as she previously lived outside in a pen. She is currently working on house-training and will need a patient adopter to help her continue learning the routine. She enjoys playing with tennis balls. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will happily stay by your side, Kahlua may be the perfect match for you. To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $450, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Chippy is a 7-month-old Afghan Hound puppy who weighed 40 pounds last time he was weighed and is still growing! He is expected to reach 50–60 pounds when fully grown. This goofy, fun-loving boy is sure to keep you smiling with his silly puppy antics. Chippy loves playing with toys, romping around with other dogs, and is always ready for his next adventure. Like any young puppy, Chippy is still working on his house training and crate training. He's highly food motivated, which makes him eager to learn and should make training a rewarding experience. Chippy gets along wonderfully with other dogs, though he doesn't always realize just how big he is! He also does well with cats. Because he is not yet comfortable walking on a leash, Chippy REQUIRES a securely fenced yard where he can safely exercise and explore. Sighthound experience preferred. To adopt this handsome boy, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $650, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, and deworming.

Story
Collins is a 1.5 year old, 23 lb Miniature Goldendoodle with a heart of gold. While initially nervous, underneath his shy personality is a puppy just wanting to play! Collins is very smart and learns incredibly quickly. Routines are good for helping him learn exactly what is expected of him. He loves to play with toys and adores other dogs. His enthusiasm really shines when he gets excited to see you. He loves his human and enjoys spending time cuddled up on the couch with you. His crate is a safe space, and he will take shelter there if he's nervous or unsure about something. Collins is food motivated and eager to please. Collins can be hand-shy and more nervous around men. He can live with a man but will need someone patient that is willing to work with him on being completely comfortable. He is crate trained and has been doing very well with house training. He can walk on a leash but is still learning to feel secure, so a fenced-in yard is preferred. Since Collins gains confidence with other dogs, another dog is REQUIRED in his forever home. He will thrive best in a quieter home with no loud children and no younger teens. He needs a calmer home. Collins is good with other dogs of all sizes and cats. He also REQUIRES a fenced in yard. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $400, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, and heartworm testing.
