Story
Tiki comes to us from the island of Saint Martin, where she was surrendered, along with her brothers and sisters in a bucket! She is what is commonly and affectionately called a Coconut retriever. Which is a nice way of saying a mixed breed. She is about seven months old and will soon be spayed. She’s a friendly girl, active and playful. She would do well with an active family. Another dog would be icing on the cake. Tiki, as with all puppies, would benefit from some positive training. She gets along very well with the two resident dogs. She seems to like children, but until properly trained would be better with older children rather than toddlers. If you’re looking for a fun loving furry family member, tiki may be your girl!

Story
Bubba is a beautiful young lBubba is a beautiful young dog with a beautiful ginger, brown and white coat. He is well-behaved and loving, super smart and highly trainable. He has a very regal appearance, and also a silly puppy side.. Due to his owners death, he and his buddy Billy found themselves in a dangerous kill shelter. They have both been pulled from that shelter and are currently in a foster home.. Foster is a very temporary place, because pets are not allowed in the building. Bubba and Billy are good friends, but they do not have to be adopted together..

Story
Billy has had a rough life and just when he thought things were going well, his owner passed away!! he is currently in a foster along with his friend Bubba. While the two of them are friends, it is not necessary for them to be adopted together.. this handsome boy is a very sweet,mellow, chill dog, who also loves going on, and walks and walks well on a leash. Because of the shape and placement of Billy‘s ears, he can get access, wax buildup and ear infections easily so his ears do need to be cleaned weekly with a rinse to help prevent that from happening. a very small price to pay for a loving companion!

Story
Hey there! My name is Anya and I'm so excited to introduce myself! I am an 8-month-old Labrador Retriever/Wiredhaired Terrier mix currently weighing around 25 pounds and almost fully grown. Aren't I the cutest? I have an adorable black, white, and grey coat and the cutest face to match! Just look at my puppy eyes, they are sure to melt your heart! My foster mom says I am so sweet and cuddly. I love laying in her lap and giving her kisses! In return, she gives me the best belly rubs. I love cuddles, but playtime is where it's at! I love running around in fenced-in areas with my canine friends and showing off my zoomies! I can be a bit shy at first, but having another dog around helps me quickly come out of my shell and show what a great pup I truly am! Toys are the best and I especially love the squeaky ones. I also hear I am a smart cookie as I am primarily housebroken, walk well on a leash, and am crate trained! I can't wait to see what else I can learn. I do amazing with all dogs, cats, and children. I hope to meet my forever family soon and hope to see you soon! Apply on our site today to begin your adoption application for Anya! Anya is spayed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application.

Story
We would love to tell you the story of these 22 (yes.. 22) puppies. Home for Good received a call about two mother dogs and their large number of puppies. Their so-called ‘owners’ had a fenced-in yard that they never closed, and never provided fresh water or any kind of shelter from the elements. This left these two families stuck to fend for themselves across the busy road, finding food/water, and warm shelter for the winter months. The so-called ‘owners’ wanted nothing to do with any of the dogs on their property. Immediately, Home for Good sent a team to Swainsboro, GA where these families were seen and the team got to work. They rescued and saved all 22 puppies and their two mothers. The puppies kept warm in tunnels they had dug underneath thorn bushes, in the wet drain pipes along the road, and underneath rotting sheds. Now rescued and safe, these two families are ecstatic to find their forever families. Moana is a 6-month-old Labrador Retriever mix and currently weighs about 25 lbs. Despite Moana having a rough start to life, she does not let it hold her back for one second. Moana is ready to run, play, and love her forever family. She loves to show off her famous zoomies while in a fenced-in backyard. Moana does not need her friends or toys to get the zoomies, but it certainly helps kick-start them. She is the perfect pup for an active family looking to bring joy and smiles to their home. Moana will fill the house with giggles, smiles, and warm snuggles. She is definitely an adventure girl and would love to join her forever family on adventures, but she is also a snuggler. Moana loves to run around and play but she really enjoys her daily snuggles and naps. She would love to have a spot just for her right next to you on the couch. Moana would love to go home with other dogs, cats, or children! Moana is ready to run right into your arms! Apply on our site today to begin your adoption application for Moana! The Disney Litter is spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application.
