Story

Meet Ferrah!!! One day (for reasons we can't see) this sweet girl was dumped on the streets in a small town in Georgia. That was the day her old life of having a home ended and her new life of living on the scary, cold streets began. Ferrah was found on a street corner by a sweet soul who her picked her up. She was taken to the local animal shelter to see if her owners could be located (because seriously....who would dump this beauty????) but sadly she was not microchipped nor wearing tags. Deep South Canine Rescue was contacted and of course, couldn't help but try to find this girl a home. Many different attempts were made to find her owners but no one came forward to claim her. She has been with the rescue for over a year waiting for the perfect person to give her a forever home. She is energetic and would do great in a household with older children due to her tendency to greet with a jump or two (she just LOVES spreading love!!). Farrah needs an active family who will have time to play, take her for a hike or throw the ball. Our founder, Pam, has been working with Farrah to ensure she will be a good fit for the right family. At first, Ferrah was "street trained" but now.....she is "Deep South Trained"!!!! She is crate trained and housebroken as well as leash trained. If you think Farrah would be a great match for your home, please fill out an application at: https://deepsouthcaninerescue.com/adoption-application. Ferrah can't wait to hear from you!!!!!

Dutch Shepherd Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 1 yr 5 mos

Elmwood Park, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Have we got a Dutch treat for you! This silly, 16-month-old boy (as of July, 2023), might have had a lonely start to life, but man-oh-man is he ever making up for lost time! After finding himself at the age of 6 months behind bars at the Devore animal shelter, Dutch was rescued and has been keeping his foster mom on her toes and laughing ever since. He is an active and playful Shepherd mix. Dutch recently completed an obedience training course at Corcha Balanced K9 and came through with flying colors! He knows all his commands and any adopter has the support and guidance of Corey and Cynthia, his trainers who think he is a rock star dog. This boy is the physical embodiment of “everything, everywhere, all at once”! Are we going for a walk in the rain—yay! Are we playing chase with our canine foster sisters—yay! Are we going for a ride in the car-yay! Are we just gonna cuddle on the couch—well, you get the idea. There’s really not much that Dutch doesn’t enjoy, and his enthusiasm is contagious! Because of his working breed background and high intelligence, Dutch is a fast learner and very eager to please. We think he’d do best in an active home with a good leader, where his zest for life will really shine. A canine companion would be great, but as long as he has doggy friends, it’s not a deal breaker. So whaddya say, wanna go Dutch? Dutch is fully vetted and very healthy. He is crate trained and potty trained.

Story

Our sweet Lillie is looking for her “furever” home! Lillie and her sister were strays in a small town in Georgia. A sweet couple took both dogs in, but sadly their dog did not like Lillie. The couple took Lillie to a local vet to be euthanized but thankfully, the vet saw a spark in Lillie that he just couldn’t extinguish! The vet contacted Deep South Canine Rescue! Sadly, there was no room at the rescue site, but Deep South saw Lillie’s potential also!! Lillie was sent to boarding for a year. After boarding, she went into a foster home with children and other animals. She then went into training with a local (but fabulous!) dog trainer where she blossomed!!!!! Lillie has had a long road with finding her forever home and she can’t wait to meet you!!! She is wonderful with low energy dogs and LOVES children! She also LOVES to go on rides!! Has storm anxiety. Lillie is house trained AND crate trained!! Feel free to contact the rescue for more information! This little “flower” is anxiously awaiting her “furever” home!!

Meet Brent Cobb! No, not the singer but just as cool a guy! This guy was a stray in a rural area of Georgia. A sweet lady noticed him following her dogs into her fenced in area one day. Once he came in, she closed the gate behind him. Brent Cobb was super shy at first and the lady worked with him for weeks to even get a collar on him. Once he learned human affection, this guy blossomed into an awesome dog! The lady then contacted Deep South Canine Rescue to see if they could help him further and of course, Deep South was up for the task! This dude is now leash trained AND crate trained! He’s still working on his house training skills but we are more than confident he will graduate with flying colors!!! Brent Cobb is looking for his forever home and best friend! Contact Deep South Canine Rescue for further details! He can’t wait to meet you!!!!
