Meet Tigris! 🤎🐾Tigris is a beautiful 1-year-old brindle Great Dane mix who came to us as a stray and has already proven herself to be an incredibly sweet and loving girl.

Story
Meet Superman. 🦴❤️🦸‍♂️Superman spent some time in a foster home over the weekend, and here's what we learned about the amazing companion he is!Superman is a gentle giant with the kind of quiet, dopey charm that sneaks up on you. As a 9 year old senior fella, he’s not into toys or chasing balls. He’s more of a soft bed, full belly, long nap kind of guy. Give him a warm meal (bonus points for scrambled eggs) and he’s genuinely happy.🥹 (We humans could learn a thing or two about happiness from a dog like Superman.)He’s easygoing in the best way. Whatever you’re doing, he’s content to wag along. Car rides? He’s excellent -- always claiming shotgun. Snow and ice? You can miss him with that. Superman prefers to stay tucked in bed, thanks.This sweet boy has been loved before and has clearly lived a full life. Even so, his huge heart still has so much love left to give, and he gives it freely. 🥰 He’s doing well with house and crate training (he slept the full night last night undisturbed) and he seems very friendly and gets along well with the dogs. He does well with men and women and was friendly and sweet with the neighbor’s kids over the weekend as well! Superman is 9 years old and heartworm positive. The good news: MOAS covers his heartworm treatment, but we can’t start it until he’s in a foster or permanent home.If you’ve ever thought about fostering or opening your home to a senior dog who truly appreciates the simple comforts, Superman would be incredibly grateful. And so would we.To set up a meet and greet with Sampson, call the shelter or email coordinator@moaspets.com or apply for him here --> https://www.moaspets.com/adoptionapp Let’s give this good boy the cozy next chapter he deserves. 🐾💙Please call the shelter at (706) 795-2868 to schedule a meet and greet.Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter is a non-profit shelter serving over 720 square miles.

Story
Winston is a gentle giant with a heart as big as his 70-pound frame. At 7 years old, this laid back boy is the perfect match for a family looking for a calm, affectionate companion who’s happiest just lounging around the house. We suspect Winston is a mix of Great Dane , which explains both his size and his sweet, loyal nature. While he’s strong, Winston isn’t the high-energy type, he’d much rather nap in a sunny spot, stretch out under your feet, or army crawl across the carpet (one of his favorite things!). He’ll play a little with other dogs, but he tires quickly and is always happy to get back to relaxing. Winston is currently undergoing treatment for heartworms and responding well. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly preventatives to keep him healthy moving forward. He does well with kids (he loves to be loved) and enjoys canine companions, but he isn’t fond of cats, so his perfect home will be feline free. Winston loves food, soft blankets, and all the affection you’re willing to give, he’s a true cuddlebug at heart. Winston is house and crate trained and finds comfort in napping in his crate when he wants some alone time. Although he is very affectionate, Winston can be quite independent as well. He is a wise older dog that is truly perfect for a family looking for a low maintenance companion. If you're searching for a sweet, low key dog who will bring comfort, companionship, and a whole lot of love into your home, Winston is ready to curl up and be your new best friend. Personality traits Gentle, Independent, Quiet, Curious, Friendly, Couch, Loyal

eet Harley! Harley is a 5-month-old Great Dane puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This sweet girl is full of playful energy and curiosity, though she's still learning how to manage her growing legs and can be adorably clumsy at times! When she's not busy playing, Harley loves to cuddle on the couch and is happiest when she can rest her head on her favorite person at bedtime. She is affectionate, loving, and enjoys being close to her family. Harley gets along wonderfully with the other dogs and cats in her foster home and enjoys having furry friends to play with. She is currently using a dog door successfully and continues to make great progress with her house-training skills. Like any young puppy, Harley is still learning. She is currently working on leash walking and will benefit from continued training and consistency as she grows into the amazing companion she's destined to be. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate giant-breed puppy who will keep you laughing with her goofy antics and melt your heart with her cuddles, Harley may be the perfect addition to your family!   ##2715855##

I love him so much. I just don’t have the time for him working full-time job and living in an apartment. I want him to have a place to run around and have fun. He comes with a cage and all his toys.

Story
Acquired Lucy through sheep farming. She just didn't work out as a livestock guardian dog (she wanted to be near humans too much). She has lived with my family and been around small children her whole life. Very loyal and protective of her "pack". She is 5 yrs old and loves to be around humans. She is manageable around dogs as long as the dogs are not aggressive towards her. Very loving and smart dog. We are moving and can not take her with us. Looking for someone who needs a good yard/farm dog.
