Story
Stanley is a sweetheart, and due to no fault of his own, I am looking to rehome him. My new job requires more travel than anticipated and Stanley would do best with someone who can hold a more consistent schedule. With my new job, I am traveling 50% of the time including internationally. He is great with kids and most dogs, but not cats. He has a medium energy level — he enjoys getting out and doing activities, but is also quiet and cuddly at home. I truly believe he would do best with someone who is home much more often and/or has a house with a fenced yard.Stanley would make a wonderful companion for an individual, couple, or family looking for a loving dog to be part of their daily life. He is fully house trained, loves car rides, knows basic commands, and likes to play with toys.He is up to date on his veterinary care, and I can provide medical records and any additional information needed.

Story
Deacon is a loyal, intelligent, and deeply devoted, 6 y/o, English/American, Choc/ Silver Labrador who forms strong bonds with his people. When comfortable and secure, he is affectionate, enjoys being close to those he loves, and is content to spend much of the day relaxing nearby.Deacon thrives with routine, structure, and clear leadership. He is not a first-time dog and needs an experienced owner who understands focused, assertive dogs. He has a strong prey drive, can become overstimulated in busy environments, and does not do well with children or teens. Because of this, we are seeking a calm adult-only home with limited visitors.He has known allergies that require a controlled diet and is prone to yeast-related skin issues, but his overall health is excellent when managed properly.Due to significant health changes, I am no longer physically able to provide the level of care Deacon deserves. Our priority is finding the right home where he can thrive and enjoy the best life possible.

Story
Rocky is a professional heart-melter who will instantly steal your love with his big, soulful brown eyes and a serious talent for giving the sloppiest, wettest kisses. He is the ultimate loyal companion who thrives on human connection, wanting nothing more than to make you the center of his entire universe. Rocky is the perfect sidekick for cozy evenings; his absolute favorite activity is sitting right next to you on the couch, happily chewing his favorite toy while you watch your favorite TV shows. He craves physical closeness and will happily chill for hours as long as you keep a hand resting on him or give him his favorite back scratches. Because he thrives so beautifully one-on-one, he is looking to be the exclusive "king of the castle" as your only pet. In return for that title, he promises to pay you back with 100% of his devotion, endless loyalty, and a joyful, rambunctious welcome party every single time you walk through the front door. Beyond his deeply affectionate personality, Rocky is an incredibly well-mannered and easy-to-manage dog who has already mastered the basics of home living. He is fully potty trained, knows his basic commands, and is highly motivated by treats, making him a dream to handle. He is also an absolute superstar when it comes to his crate, viewing it as his personal safety zone where he can fully relax and feel secure. When it is bedtime, he sleeps soundly through the night without a single cry or whine—all you need to do is place a blanket cover over his crate to keep him peaceful until morning. While he can occasionally get over-excited or a little rambunctious when his favorite people are around, he is remarkably easy to redirect simply by showing him his beloved toy chicken. Rocky is the rare package of a trained, well-behaved dog who also possesses an ocean of love to give, making him the perfect match for anyone ready to be completely adored by their best friend.  Why Rocky is a is Great  Dog (The Facts) Fully House-Trained: He is completely potty trained. Crate Superstar: He is crate trained, views it as a secure safety zone, and sleeps peacefully through the night without crying. Mannerly: He already knows his basic commands and listens wel.  Easily Managed: When he gets overly excited or rambunctious, he is easily redirected using his favorite toy chicken. Highly Motivated: He loves treats, which makes ongoing training and bonding simple.  What Makes Him Endearing & Special Affectionate Companion: He gives enthusiastic, sloppy, wet kisses and has big, melting brown eyes. The Ultimate Sidekick: He loves to sit right next to you chewing his toys while you watch TV. Craves Physical Connection: He thrives on constant contact, loving nothing more than a resting hand or back scratches while you chill. Undivided Loyalty: He thrives in one-on-one environments and will make his owner the absolute center of his universe. King of the Castle: He is best suited as an only pet, meaning his future owner gets 100% of his love and devotion.   While Rocky has an endless ocean of love to give, he is a confident "true boss" who thrives on structure, consistency, and routine. To set him up for total success, there are a few important things his future forever family should be aware of: Only-Pet & Adult Home: Rocky needs to be the king of the castle. He thrives best in a one-on-one environment, so he must be the only dog in an adult-only home where he can get all your focus. Fenced Yard Required: He has a playful, athletic side and absolutely loves to run, so a securely fenced-in yard is a must for him to burn off energy safely. Maintain Crate Structure: It is highly recommended to keep him crate trained. The crate gives him the physical boundaries and security he needs to stay balanced, relaxed, and structured. Managing Excitement & Nipping: Rocky gets incredibly hyper and overcome with joy when you first come home or let him out of his crate. He will literally jump right into your arms to lick your face! Because his excitement levels peak during greetings, he can occasionally nip by accident out of pure over-arousal. This is never intentional or aggressive—just a manifestation of his intense excitement. Easy to Redirect: The wonderful thing about Rocky is how easily manageable he is. When he gets too rambunctious, you can easily diffuse his energy and redirect him using basic commands or a fun distraction, like his favorite toy chicken.

Story
Hello, my name is Barbie Anne, or as my foster mom affectionately calls me, Barbie Girl. My favorite thing in the world is belly rubs. I’ll happily lie there for hours if you give me a good belly rub. My foster brother, Rudy, is my best friend. He’s my size, and we’re inseparable. However, my other fur siblings are much larger than me. My foster dad calls me “baby girl,” and that makes my heart swell with joy. I’m protective of my territory and my foster family. I may bark and growl, but don’t let that fool you; I’m a gentle soul. I require slow introductions to people, as I have a lot of energy and love to run and play. My mom gives me medication to help manage my anxiety, and I’m doing very well on it. However, I would do better in a home with fewer people coming and going. I get very nervous and react by barking, urinating, and growling. It takes me a minute to warm up to humans. My life took a sudden turn when my owner passed away, and they didn’t find us for a few days. We were then placed in the Memphis Animal Shelter, where we stayed for two weeks before being rescued by a rescue organization. When I get overstimulated, I need to be in my crate in a quiet, dark room. I’m a fluffy toy destroyer, so I love chewing on my super chewer toys.  Please give me a place to call my forever home.  Biography BiographyName: Barbie AnneAge: 2 1/2 years oldWeight: 22Spayed / Neuterd: yesMicrochipped: yesVaccine up to date: yesOn Heartworm prevention: yesOn flea and tick prevention: yesHouse trained: I do have little accidents. Crate trained: yes, however I like to pee when I’m excited.

She dislikes chaos and people approaching her fast. Toys: she loves toys of all sorts. She is a stuffy destroyer. Other animals: does ok with dogs her same size. She is standoffish with big dogs. People / kids: scared of new people. You have to approach her slowly. Car rides: loves to ride in the car. Separation: does well in a crate.

Story
Captain Blue Eye, affectionately known as Capo, is a purebred Boston terrier male with one blue eye. He weighs 29 lb. and is 7 years old. He is a sweet boy and loves people He was first rescued from a shelter with his breeding partner by some nice people who have a Boston male. Captain ignored the resident Boston except  to steal his toys:) The female of the pair picked fights with him and he defended himself, but he did not start it.  Capo is presently in foster care and we would love for him to have a home of his own.  Perhaps one or two other dogs would be fine, but Capo would need some alone time to decompress before introducing him slowly to his doggy housemates.  Capo does like to run when it is cool (6:30 am and just before dark) he has issues breathing in the heat. He loves to play and he gets along with the two male dogs in the foster home that are about his size and they are submissive.He does not get along with small dogs. He loves a kiddy pool with water and he loves a water hose and sprinkler.  Captain is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and is on heartworm prevention.He did have heartworm disease when he first came to us, but has been treated and is now heartworm negative. He has seen a cardiologist and has no heart damage from the infection. He is house-trained, but marks, so he has to wear a belly band while inside.  Captain Blue Eye is presently in Milledgeville, GA. For questions, call his foster mom, Dana, at 478-232-2882. His adoption fee is $450 which includes microchip registration.. ##2536700##

  What Makes Me So Special Millie Jo is a ball full of energy and could use a fenced in yard or lots of walks. She is quite well trained for her crate and runs in it after going out. She enjoys balls but men not so much. In fact, we don't recommend men to be around Millie. She obviously was mistreated by a man. She would be most comfortable with a Mama only, someone who lives a quiet life with not much company. Millie could be your company!   The Basics Age: approximately 2.5 yr Weight: 19 lb.
