Greyhound puppies and dogs in Social Circle, Georgia

BEST WAY TO INQUIRE, EMAIL CONTACT@BAMMRESCUEPDX.ORG from her foster:   Meet Marceline! Marceline, formerly known as Tallulah, is a 64lb, 4-year old Labrador Retriever/Greyhound mix that has just been waiting for you to take her home. This wonderful girl is house trained, crate trained, and loves car rides. She is spayed and current on shots. At 4 years young, she is past the puppy drama, but still has enough energy and mischief to keep life interesting. Marceline can be a bit shy, but once she has warmed up, she is a very sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on attention, pets, and cuddles. TRAINING: Marceline already knows sit, down, and paw! She has a solid foundation of leash manners, but is still working on not pulling when she sees something interesting, so she will need someone who is stable on their feet to keep working with her! She is also working on her manner-manners (no begging, going to her place, waiting at doorways, holding sits/downs) as well as a few fun tricks (riding in a bike carriage, roll over, spin). Marceline is treat-motivated and learns quickly. She is very attuned to her handler and trains well. She would benefit from on-going and consistent training. OTHER DOGS: Marceline does well with other dogs after properly managed slow introductions. She can be a bit timid or over excited when meeting new dogs, but calms down with slow introductions. That being said, she loves her canine friends! She would benefit from a confident and calm resident dog who could play with her and help her learn her new house and routine. She would also do well as your one-and-only, where she could soak up all your love! CATS AND KIDS: As for cats, Marceline has not met any yet while in foster, so they are unknown. She does show interest in squirrels, especially when they dart in front of her, but redirects fairly easily. She may do well with a dog-savvy cat after very slow and monitored introductions. Marceline hasn’t met any children directly, but walked past many kids and families in tight quarters with no reaction. She may do well with older children. A house with younger children may not suit her, if only because she forgets how big she is and could topple smaller children by accident. HANDLING: Handling-wise, Marceline is very tolerant of all-over touch. She will squirm when she doesn’t like something (cleaning ears, brushing teeth, etc), but has not growled or otherwise issued warnings. Marceline can be a bit flighty, especially in new situations that she is uncomfortable with, and will need a handler who is committed to building her confidence with new people, situations, and experiences. WALKS: On walks, Marceline prefers quieter areas with less new people or noises. She really enjoys sniffing and is very happy when she gets a leisurely walk full of stops so she can sniffeverything. Loud streets, busy trails, and too many new things at once overwhelm her and cause her to become more fearful and stressed. She would likely be a good hiking buddy, or just enjoy walks in less populated areas. She tends to not respond to treats or commands once overwhelmed, and needs reassurance that she is ok. Because of her tendency to become overwhelmed, Marceline is not yet ready for restaurant type activities, but with time, patience, and training, this may become an activity that she enjoys. TOYS: As for toys, she doesn’t understand many toys yet. She enjoys her BetterBone chew and toys with treats inside, like her Kong toy or Barnacle toy. Her favorite toy is her Kong Wobbler, which she often gets meals from. Marceline really likes food-puzzles, so slow-feeder type bowls, snuffle matts, or other puzzles would benefit her. DISLIKES: She does not like loud or large overhead things (a smoke alarm went off and she was terrified of it). Marceline has also seen a large vulture flying overhead and barked at it with raised hackles. Marceline may not be the best fit for a farm type environment. She has met a few farm animals through a fence, and was curious but wary of the cows, and did not seem fond of the sheep or llamas. She barked at goats. SEPARATION ANXIETY: Marceline has separation anxiety that we are working on. She settles better after a sniff walk and/or training sessions, but she will bark loudly when left alone. Currently, she is crated when I am unable to watch her, and she will bark/howl/cry for 10-20 minutes before settling, even with a peanut-butter filled Kong to entertain her. When outdoors, Marceline will bark and cry if she is left with other people. When I have asked friends to hold her for a second while I do a quick task, like refilling water bottles, she will bark until I return. Being left with other people, or at the least people that she doesn’t know, will still trigger her separation anxiety. Additionally, Marceline tends to demand-bark when she wants attention. These barks often become very loud and frequent. Because of this, Marceline would do better in a house-setting rather than an apartment, where she is currently living. HOUSE MANNERS: Marceline’s house manners are a work in progress. Marceline is fairly desensitized to everyday sounds, like car doors slamming, the vacuum cleaner, or other similar household noises. She rides well in elevators and is a champ at stairs both ways. She enjoys looking through windows and has not barked at people/things through the windows. She does have a habit of demand barking when she is not being given attention, and she will dig through trash and counter-surf if not watched. She also has a bad habit of begging for people food…being very tall, she can easily rest her head on tables to beg. IDEAL DAY: Marceline’s ideal day would involve relaxed sniff-walks, fun enrichment activities, a few training sessions, and time for zoomies! This girl loves to run and she is VERYfast. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal so she could get her zoomies out, but she would do well without a yard as long as she gets proper exercise and training. She would love to have a long cuddle and pet session anytime during the day. In the evening, she would enjoy curling up in her dog bed–or better yet, your bed or your couch–while you read or relax. Above all, Marceline’s favorite thing to do is be by her person, no matter what they are doing. This girl cannot wait to meet you and love you for the rest of forever. Marceline is currently being fostered in Davis, California. Inquiries should be directed to the rescue. ##2851715##

Meet Bailey! 🐾Bailey is a sweet, loving 6-year-old Lab/Greyhound mix weighing around 55 pounds. She is spayed, house-trained, and a wonderful dog who is looking for a home where she can continue to thrive.Bailey has a good amount of energy and would do best with an active person or family who can give her plenty of exercise, walks, and playtime. Staying active is especially helpful for Bailey because she does experience some separation anxiety. Exercise and keeping her mind occupied typically help her settle and feel more comfortable.Bailey can do well with other dogs, but she is selective about her canine friends and would need proper introductions to make sure she is comfortable with another dog. She is **not good with cats**, so a cat-free home is a must.Bailey is a great dog with a lot of love

Corvo is a very sweet and chill boy who loves humans and being around his person. He is a 5 year old Lab mix (not sure the other breed but I guessed possible Greyhound), very patient and calm, but also generally pretty active as he loves to run, play fetch and loves his walks, but he's also just fine lazing around too. He is house trained, crate trained, potty trained. He does very well when training and is treat motivated. He also knows a few commands like 'sit', 'chill' (laying down) and 'bed' (his bed). He is good with dogs and cats but he must have a slow introduction to them first. With dogs he'll be very wary and defensive at first, but after a while he'll accept them. Cats he may try to chase so slow introduction is definitely recommended. I'm wanting to rehome because of financial reasons, but I also feel he's not thriving in his living situation and I want him to live somewhere that he can. I feel someone who lives alone and possibly has a backyard would be perfect for him.
