Chicken Nugget is looking for his forever home. Preferably without kids but he absolutely adores other dogs! He is just a super cuddly snuggle bug and walks nicely on a leash when given appropriate support. He's also still working on having nice house manners but he gets better every day! His favorite thing in the world... A bone or frozen Kong!

Story
We are looking for a good owner for our beloved Reyna. We have loved/cared for her for 4 years now, but we have a family member who is severely allergic to dog hair. Reyna is a very loyal and sweet girl. She was born 1/22/22 in Idaho and is papered full bred Airedale terrier—a rare black color but classic Airedale personality. She loves lots of outdoor fun and walks. Just the mention of the word gets her very excited. She loves chasing the ball, playing games, and is so curious. She is good with other small dogs and babies and tries hard to please. Her new owner needs to be committed to playing with her and exercising every day. She loves needs attention a couple of times a day at least. She spends her days indoors and we havent had a problem with destruction but need to hide snacks as she is very food motivated. We've had her groomed about 3-4 times per year. We hope she blesses the lives of her next family as she has ours.

Story
I adopted Whiskey in Atlanta, GA in October 2023. I lived there with him until June 2025. Whiskey is a very loyal and cuddly dog. He does well with people he knows, in a calm environment. He requires slow and calm introductions to new people and animals. He did not interact well with my parents' dog at first, but now they run and play together! Whiskey loves to be with his person and to play tug. I am looking to rehome Whiskey because I am currently in Law School and have small nieces that I am around all the time. I do not have the time, capacity, or environment that Whiskey needs to be properly trained. While Whiskey is a genuinely good dog, he can be unpredictable when it comes to what might trigger his anxiety/reactivity. For this reason, he is too much to have around my young nieces. Whiskey would do best in in a home without children because he can be sensitive to grabbing/handling. He requires an owner that is experienced with dogs, specifically in recognizing cues.

Story
Meet Charlie, a sweet and gentle 12-year-old gentleman looking for his forever home. Charlie has been thriving in his foster home for the past four weeks, where his foster dad describes him as calm, quiet, and incredibly easy to live with. He gets along beautifully with other dogs, adores kids, and walks like a pro on a leash. Obedient, mellow, and full of love, Charlie is the kind of companion who makes a house feel like home. Like any charming senior, he’s still polishing up a couple of habits. He is learning that toilets are not water bowls and that countertops are not self-serve buffets 😂. He’s trying hard and making progress every day. If you’d like to meet this sweet boy and see if he might be your perfect match, please message me. Let’s help Charlie spend his golden years in a home full of love.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I'm Lucky Charms! I'm a 42-pound, lovable Lab mix with a lot of heart. I may be a tripod, but don't let that fool you-I get around just fine and nothing slows me down! I'm full of energy, but also know how to enjoy a good cuddle session with my favorite humans. I'm super friendly and love hanging out with other dogs, so if you have any furry friends at home, we'll get along great. I'm crate trained, potty trained, and even know how to use a dog door! I also recently completed a basic obedience class! See how much I have to offer my forever family? I'm a pretty smart guy and I love staying active, especially when toys are involved. Whether it's playing tug-of-war, or chewing on a squeaky, I'm always up for fun. I get along well with kids over 8 years old. I've got medium energy, so l enjoy walks and playtime but also love curling up next to you for some relaxation. I'm good on a leash and ready for whatever adventures the day brings. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a lot of love to give, I'm your guy. Lucky Charms is ready to bring some extra joy into your life!  Apply to meet me today at  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplicationVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 21, 2025, 4:33 pm
