Georgia is a sweet, squishy puppy with a heart as big as her puppy eyes. She’s playful and curious, but her favorite thing of all is giving love—snuggles, kisses, and being close to her people. True to her name, Georgia is sweet as a Georgia peach and full of gentle affection. She’s incredibly friendly, loves everyone she meets, and is ready to grow up in a safe, loving home where she can be spoiled the way a good southern girl deserves. Georgia would thrive with a family who wants a loyal best friend and plenty of puppy cuddles.

Story
Saturn is a happy, energetic boy who’s about one year old and 70 pounds of enthusiasm! Saturn loves all people and other dogs and has no idea he’s too big to be a lap dog. Saturn is a beautiful golden retriever border collie mix. He possesses the abundance of energy border collies are known for, so he would do best in an active family and would thoroughly enjoy being included in family activities of any kind. He is a fan of water and boat rides and would love a fenced-in yard to run and play. He would do great with a canine buddy of similar size and energy level. Saturn is housebroken, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventives. If you’d like to make this adorable boy, a member of your family, please email bigyellowdog.wendy@gmail.com for an application.
