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.Believe it or not, her DNA says she’s pitbull and GSD along with other misc breeds!! 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
We cannot believe this sweetheart hasn't been scooped up yet! Meet the beautiful and loving, Celeste! 🎀🩷 Celeste is a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever mix and is fully grown at about 53 lbs. This pretty girl was rescued alongside her six puppies in Windsor, SC, where they were stranded outside in an abandoned house. They are so thankful to have been saved and are now ready to find their forever families! Celeste is such a sweet girl who loves to give hugs and kisses! Celeste absolutely adores people. Though, small children are a bit too much for Celeste. She would prefer her forever home have no kids or those with prior dog experience. Celeste's favorite way to spend her days includes going on walks and curling up on the couch next to her favorite people for a good nap. She is very go-with-the flow and if its left up to her, she will ask to stay home and cuddle all day long. She is known for giving the best hugs and loves to hand them out! Celeste does well with other dogs and is currently being fostered with multiple of all ages and sizes. She would love to go home with a sibling or too! Celeste is housebroken, likes her crate, and sleeps through the night perfectly without making a peep. Celeste is an easy girl who simply cannot wait to find her own forever family! Apply to adopt at www.homeforgooddogs.org! ❤️🐾 Celeste 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
Elmer is a friendly and sweet 5-year-old Chocolate Labrador mix who is looking for an active forever home! He is fully grown at a perfect 61 lbs. He was originally rescued from Swainsboro, Georgia and is so excited to find his forever family! Elmer is an energetic boy who would thrive in a home with a large fenced yard where he can run around and play fetch all day. He enjoys his toys, particularly his Kong, and loves relaxing on the sofa after a playful day. Elmer is fully house-trained and crate-trained. He is a smart boy who is treat-motivated and responsive to commands. He knows how to sit and is continuously improving on his leash skills with minimal pulling. He would prefer not to share his home with any canine or feline friends as he enjoys being the center of attention at all times. Elmer would do well with older children who can match his energy! This sociable boy enjoys following his foster around both the house and and settles well at night, sleeping soundly on a dog bed in the bedroom. Elmer's foster family says: "He's a happy-go-lucky dog, truly enjoys life to the fullest. His favorite activities are going for walks, playing fetch, and eating. Say the words "walk", "ball" or "eat" and he jumps for joy. He's great on walks and never tires of fetching a ball (or frisbee, or any toy). He equally enjoys his downtime and loves to cuddle on the couch with his family. He's very affectionate and not shy about asking for attention." Elmer is 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.
