Story

We absolutely hate having to do this, but we need to find our sweet girl a new home. We have had her since she was a puppy in 2017. We originally got her when my husband worked third shift and I was home at night with three little kids. She was our extra sense of security and has been part of our family ever since. She is seriously the sweetest freaking dog. She loves kids, dogs, cats, everyone. She thinks she's an itty-bitty lap dog and will absolutely try to sit on you. She loves fetch, toys, water, running outside, and mostly just being right beside her people. She's fully house trained with no health or behavioral issues. She gets anxious with loud noises and in the car and does get carsick. We never leash trained her because she always stayed right beside us, so now she really doesn't know what she's supposed to do when you put one on her. Our kids are older and life is different now. She's spending way too much time bored and deserves someone who has the time and space to

Story

Hi, I'm Allie! 1-2 years old | APBT Mix | 40 lbs (with a little more to gain!) Though life hasn't always been kind to me... you'd never know it by the way I greet people! I was confiscated from a neglect/hoarding situation with several other dogs, where we were living in conditions no one should be living in and life was all about surviving instead of simply being a dog. We often had to compete for things like food and water just to get by. But somehow, through it all, I never lost my happy spirit. I'm a bubbly, energetic, happy-go-lucky girl who gets excited to see people and is ready to start living the life I've always deserved! Sweet and affectionate Fun, playful personality Energetic and eager to explore Has lived with other dogs Ready to learn and experience life Because of my past, I'm still learning all about living as a beloved family pet. I'll likely need a little guidance with potty training and house manners, but with a consistent routine and lots of positive reinforcement, I should catch on quickly! I'm still young and eager to learn. I have lived with other dogs my entire life, so with proper introductions, I should do just fine with another dog. Because I used to have to compete for basic necessities like food and water, it's recommended to supervise me around meals and high-value treats while I learn that there's always enough to go aroudn and I never have to fight for those things again. I seem to be cat friendly! I met the office cat with polite curiousity and no signs of aggression. I'm expected to do just fine with kiddos, as long as they're respectful! More than anything, I'm looking for someone who will show me what it's like to be loved, safe, and part of a family. I missed out on so much during the first part of my life... but I have a feeling the best part of my story is still waiting to be written.

Story

Hi, I'm Dezzy! Just under 2 years old | Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix | 22 lbs I'm an active, playful little girl who loves giving kisses, snuggling, and soaking up affection from my favorite people. I came to the shelter with my sister, June, after our previous owner was having trouble keeping up with our energy and our talent for escaping. Now I'm searching for someone who appreciates a little dog with a big personality and is ready to help me become the best version of myself! A little more about me: Other Dogs: I've lived with my sister, June, but my previous owner wasn't sure how I'd do with other dogs. Proper introductions will be important! Cats: No kitties for me, please! I'm not a fan of feline friends. Children: I've previously lived with children ages 3 and 8 and did well with them! Strangers: New people can sometimes make me a little unsure at first, but I'm overall friendly! Personality: I'm active, playful, affectionate, independent, and vocal! I love kisses and snuggles just as much as I love a little adventure. House Manners: I keep a clean kennel here at the shelter! However, I'm also a talented escape artist, so a secure environment and careful supervision are a must! Don't let my small size fool you! I may be little, but I still need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, boundaries, and consistency. I'm looking for someone who understands that bringing home a dog means making a commitment to helping them learn, adjust, and thrive. I promise to bring plenty of personality, entertainment, and affection along the way! Although June and I came here together, we don't have to be adopted together. We're each hoping to find a home where we can get the love and individual attention we need. Could you be my person? I'd love the chance to find out!

Story

Hi, I’m Kyra! 2 Years old | 49# | American Bulldog mix While my story before arriving here is a bit of a mystery, everyone says I’m a pretty sweet girl! I have been friendly with everyone I’ve met so far and I’ve been keeping my kennel nice and clean, which my shelter friends think is a pretty good sign! I made friends with a male dog here at the shelter, so I should do fine with another dog with proper introductions! I will say I seem to prefer male dogs though. However, I am not a fan of kitties! Unfortunately, I think they look more like snacks than friends, so I'll need a home without them. Little kids seem to make me a little nervous, but staff thinks it's just because I've never been around them before! I should do well with respectful kiddos with proper introductions as well. I’m hoping someone will give me the chance to leave shelter life behind and show them who I really am. I have a feeling once I’m settled into a home, my personality is going to bloom! Could I be the missing piece your family has been looking for? Spayed, microchipped, Heartworm & Lyme Negative, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention. $0 TO ADOPT!!

Story

Meet Tori! 2 years old | Mixed Breed | 31 lb If happiness had a mascot, it might just be Tori. Despite a rough start in life, Tori greets every day and every person she meets with a constantly wagging tail and a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. She originally came to the shelter after being removed from a neglectful situation where she spent much of her life outdoors. She was later adopted, but through no fault of her own, changes in her owner's circumstances brought her back to the shelter. Tori hasn’t let any of that dim her spirit. This sweet, affectionate girl absolutely loves people and adores children. She wants to be involved in everything you’re doing and is always ready to hand out kisses, seek attention, or make a new friend. Her enthusiasm can sometimes get the best of her, and she may jump up when she’s excited to see people, but with regular exercise, consistency, and positive reinforcement, she’ll be very well behaved in no time! Tori is an active young dog who would love a family that enjoys walks, playtime, adventures, or simply giving her an outlet for all that happy energy. At just 31 pounds, she’s the perfect medium size. Big enough for adventures, small enough to fit comfortably into most homes. Tori will need to be the one and only pet in the home. Tori is mostly potty trained and may need a little patience while learning the routine in a new home, but she’s eager to please and wants nothing more than to make her family proud. Most of all, Tori is looking for something she’s always deserved: a forever family that will love her for the rest of her life. WAIVED ADOPTION FEE for approved adopter! 1 year of FREE Heartworm prevention included Spayed, Heartworm and Lyme negative, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Interested in meeting and possibly adopting? Please start by filling out an application here https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog Once we receive your application, a staff member will review it and contact you to schedule a meet and greet. If you already have dogs at home, they must attend the meet and greet as well. If it’s a good fit, you may take your new best friend home the same day! We also offer a 2-week foster-to-adopt trial period to ensure it’s the right match for everyone.

Story

Hi, I'm Pluto! 6 years old | Siberian Husky Mix | 54 lbs I’m an active, playful and friendly guy who loves being outside! I was surrendered when my previous family could no longer provide the home and care I needed. Starting over is a big adjustment, but I’m a loyal and affectionate boy with plenty of love to give. Here’s a little more about me: Potty trained and crate trained Friendly and affectionate with my family and visitors Playful, vocal, independent and full of classic Husky personality I love ropes, squeaky toys and balls I previously lived with dogs and reportedly do well with female dogs male dogs typically aren't my thing and I may guard food, treats or toys from them I have a strong prey drive and must live in a home without cats, small animals or livestock I have been known to jump a five foot fence and explore, so I’ll need secure handling, careful supervision and a family that takes my escape artist abilities seriously! I may do well with respectful children ages 8 and older who are comfortable around an active, bouncy dog My ideal home would have Husky experience, no small animals and people who understand that Huskies can be smart, energetic and impressively talented escape artist! If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy with a goofy personality and a whole lot of Husky spirit, I might be your guy!
