Cyrus

Newfoundland Rottweiler

Male, 1 yr 8 mos

Rossville, GA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This huge pup is beautiful, sweet and needs a lot of room to run! He has been given refuge by the lady who found him and he's a lot for her to handle. He does crate beautifully, he's been neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchiped. Our trainer has been working with him to stop jumping and he's learning fast. He needs a big yard and to be able to work some of his energy off. Otherwise he is the sweetest, goofy, water loving Newfoundland pup!

Hope

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 4 mos

Rossville, GA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hope is 1-2 years old and scheduled to be spayed. She is up to date on shots, great with other dogs, good with cats and leaves our chickens alone. She was found roaming the streets sick and hungry and was nursing puppies somewhere. She was emaciated and covered in fleas and mange. She had no social skills and knew no commands when she was rescued by Kelley at the Fraternity of the 4 Paws Inc. And nobody came looking for her. They never could find her pups. Hope currently knows sit, stay, lay, okay, break, las es (leave it), fus (heal), bring it, off, back-up, drop, walk and wait. She is crate trained. She has not had an accident inside in awhile that I have caught (there are 8 dogs here so sometimes accidents happen). She is absolutely crazy about toys, especially balls, and loves playing fetch. Can be neurotic and possessive with toys so training knowledge on how to manage that behavior is a must, I believe. She is a little weary of men at times and may growl in fear when one approaches, has never shown teeth or aggressive behavior towards them just fear) but warms up after a few weeks with affection and love... And treats. Can be reactive to wildlife and other dogs when on walks but just wants to chase squirrels and play with dogs. Is very well behaved indoors and would prefer to be a lap dog. She likes to stand with her head in your lap when she wants pets and will listen to you talk to her all day if you let her. We are working on being more calm when approaching others, personal space, walking without pulling, and on not destroying toys to pieces as soon as we get them lol!

Sasha

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 5 yrs 6 mos

Rossville, GA

Size

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

Details

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Sasha came to us during a severe cold snap last December. She was lost but she was more lost than we knew. We found the people responsible for her but they no longer wanted her. Sasha had belonged to a man she had spent her entire life with. Unfortunately he had died. She was then given to his brother and sister in law who just threw her outside into a pen. Sasha easily escaped but she was properly secured because they didn't want her to begin with. We can tell from the things Sasha likes to do that her person did everything with her. She loves to ride, share meals, sleep on the couch and just pal around with her person. Right now she is having to live in our outside kennel alone in a run. She is very unhappy but has settled into a routine. Sasha is not a fan of other dogs or cats. She got out the other day and went next door to swim in the ducks pool. She didn't bother the duck or the chickens fortunately. She would be a great companion for an over the road truck driver, single older man or couple. She loves everyone she meets and happy to go along with just about anything your doing. Sasha is being treated for heartworm disease and we hope to see her negative within the next couple of months. Her treatment has been done all ready and she would just need to continue on prevention as all dogs should.

Rossville, GA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Annabelle has been lucky enoughv to have been in a top notch board and train program for a month! Annabelle was found with her brother max out in the country. We found her owner who had given her away when she was just 12 weeks old with her brother, and their new owner then dumped them. Annabelle seems to be a little reactive towards other dogs at first. But after a day or two she does warm up to her surroundings and other dogs and is the most playful and loving dog you could ever ask for! When they were found, another dog was chasing them and they were afraid for their lives. She is great with kids, loves water and will love your other fur babies if you let her get used to them over a day or so!! She has a BIG personality and loves attention!

Size

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This big lump of love has my whole heart! He's so gentle and craves affection! There is not an aggressive bone in this dog, he will let you trim his nails, give him a bath, anything you need to do, he's on board! He snores like a train, has the biggest smile ever and loves food second to his love of people. Grizzly was a stray until a family took him in. The problem came after the uncle who lived there decided he didn't like dogs and hit Grizzly between his eyes with a hammer! After that happened he was held by the county shelter until court. He is being treated for heartworms.

Houdini

American Bulldog

Male, 6 yrs 3 mos

Rossville, GA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Houdini found himself at our local municipal shelter three times, out of no fault of his own! His first owner died, not sure what happened the second time. The third time his owner, who only had him a couple of months, was hospitalized in renal failure. Dogs who return to a shelter more than once do not do well! Houdini was terrified and repeatedly injured himself trying to free himself from his kennel run. We had to help this poor sweet man and now you could give him the happy ending he has been waiting for all of his life! He is house trained, crate trained, good with other dogs but isn't a fan of cats. He is the epitome of sweetness and you will not be disappointed!
