Story
Looking for a loving, suitable home for Hito. He is a good boy who wants nothing more than to stay by your side. 🐾 He is a devoted companion who loves being close to his person—even if that just means quietly keeping you company through an ordinary day. He moves with me throughout the day, sleeping at my feet when I’m working on the computer, and sitting patiently in the car when I run errands. I’m preparing for a move and looking carefully for a home where his needs and personality will be a good fit. He forms a strong attachment to his person and can be shy of other people/strangers. Please message me with a little about yourself, your household, any other animals, and your experience with dogs. I’m happy to answer questions.

Meet Teddy! He is a German Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute mix. He is approximately 2yrs old. Teddy is a wonderful boy who loves to play. He enjoys the company of anyone that will give him attention. Teddy would be perfect in a home where his activity level would be accommodated with walks and a yard to run and play in. He gets along with other dogs and kids. He is also crate trained, house trained, smart and eager to please. He, of course, loves a car ride. This boy is very loving. He loves a good dog toy or a game of fetch. He is always so sweet whenever at adoption events and just wants to be loved!March 10, 2026, 1:06 pm

Story
Meet Max! Max is a 2 year old  70 pound German Shepherd/Husky mix. He was originally adopted out around 3 months old and recently was returned through no fault of his own. He is a very playful and loving dog who is looking for his forever home. Max is house broken and non destructive. His favorite things to do are to go on off-leash romps, jump in the creek, play with his besties and chill on the couch with his person. He lives with 7 other dogs of all sizes, his very best friend is Boomer, they could spend all day playing together. Max's ideal home would be one with a fenced in backyard and someone committed to continued training (he can be very bouncy and will often run into things and people simply because he isn't watching where he is going.) He tends to chase cats. Max thrives on a schedule.    November 9, 2026, 6:54 pm

Story
Milo is a sweet, laid-back pup around 5 months old with a gentle, affectionate personality. He loves being around his people and is good with kids and other dogs. He’s just as happy relaxing nearby as he is spending time with the family. Milo is currently working on potty training and doing well with his foster family. He can get a little jealous when another dog comes over for attention while he’s getting some love, but his fosters are working with him on sharing the spotlight. Storms can make him a little nervous, so he appreciates some extra reassurance when the weather gets loud. Overall, Milo is an easygoing, loving young pup who would love a family to grow up with. 🐾

KLONDIKE ~~ Neutered Male, German Shepherd Dog, Black and Tan, DOB: 7/29/2019, 98 pounds Do you love big, handsome, sturdy and confident GSDs? Looking for a new roommate and high energy companion? Come and meet Klondike to see if he checks off all the boxes. ABOUT ME: I am a gorgeous, loyal, and incredibly smart GSD who takes my job as your best friend very seriously. True to my breed, I am highly trainable, fiercely loyal, eager to please, and deeply devoted to my family. If you love outdoor adventures, playing fetch, and having a dedicated furry bodyguard, I'm your boy! You wouldn't even know that I am a senior hound! I am food and treat motivated which makes learning new commands and tasks even more fun for me. I am physically strong and will require an equally strong handler to help keep me on track and focused. I am very curious and do tend to explore things with my mouth ~~ to help me figure out what they are. MY IDEAL HOME: I would love to have a handler who understands GSD behavior and boundaries. I love knowing what is expected of me and would enjoy having a job to do. I prefer a very active lifestyle and would welcome my own fenced backyard to run and play in. I enjoy a couple of daily play times and running around in the yard to get some of my energy out. I'm a huge fan of ental stimulation also (puzzle toys, games, play times, training) ~~ smart AND handsome ~~ what a combo! If you're looking for an ultra-loyal companion who will focus 100% of his love on you, let’s meet! OTHER PETS IN THE HOME: Prior to adoption, we recommend a meeting of all pets in the home to ensure a smooth transition into a new environment. ADOPTION FEE AND OTHER INFO: Klondike's adoption fee is $153 unless you are a Senior Citizen also. Then, there is no adoption fee and we will offer a 20% Seniors for Seniors Discount for the remainder of Klondike's life. VET SERVICES/HEARTWORM, FLEA-TICK PREVENTION: Klondike has had an injection for the prevention of heartworms (Proheart12) as well as an injection for the prevention of fleas and ticks. Both are good until August 19, 2027. So, Klondike will not need to take a monthly heartworm, flea-tick oral medication! If you're interested in meeting Klondike to see if he is the pup for you, visit him at Crabapple Knoll Vet Clinic, Alpharetta, GA. 770.475.8272. Monday to Friday 630AM to 7PM, Saturday and Sunday 8AM to 4PM. We are closed on all major/national holidays. Please visit at least two hours prior to closing. No appointment is needed to meet any of our adoptable strays. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.
