Story
Courtesy Post!!! FOSTER NEEDED or FOSTER TO ADOPT: Buzz & Woody (they do not need to stay together), a pair of 3–5 year old Jack Russell Terriers (16–22 lbs), found themselves in a rural South Georgia shelter where they were struggling emotionally. Thankfully, a kind-hearted local stepped up to foster them temporarily—and what a difference it’s made! Outside the shelter, these boys are thriving: no more constant barking, just joyful exploration in a backyard and the comfort of human kindness. But time is running out. Their current foster can only keep them for two weeks, and we’re urgently seeking a local foster or foster-to-adopt home to continue their journey toward healing and happiness. What You Should Know: Both dogs are heartworm positive and need to be neutered. We cover all medical costs and provide supplies—you provide the love and safe space. They’re sweet, resilient, and ready to blossom in a home that believes in second chances. If can open your heart and home to Buzz & Woody, please reach out. Even if you can’t foster, sharing this post could be the link to their next chapter. Let’s help these boys find the forever family they deserve. Contact us today to learn more about fostering Buzz & Woody! ##2568452##

Story
Meet Colby Jack! Colby is a happy 4 year old Jack RussellBoxer mix. Colby adores being with his people especially when he gets lots of cuddles. He leans into your leg when he's getting lovies and shows you his big smile! Colby enjoys hanging out with laid back dogs. He and his foster sister, Elly, enjoy rambling around the backyard finding new things to sniff.  He weighs approximately 35lbs which is a good, manageable size for your lap!. He loves to play with humans but may be a bit too playful for toddlers or younger children. He’s crate trained but it is not his favorite place to be. He walks well on a leash and would make a great hiking or running buddy. Colby spent the first year of his life on a chain and has really blossomed into a very loving dog who craves attention. We think Colby would do best with a family that doesn't live in a congested area with lots of noise and has another dog to play with. He doesn't care for delivery trucks entering his domain or lots of strangers. Colby is very smart but craves attention and stong leadership, He really needs a strong pack leader to help him along his journey. . He passed his professional obedience training with flying colors so he already knows the basics. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. Colby is available for adoption at www.dirtroaddoggiesrescue.org         ##1087310##

I AM CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME. PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE OFFICE TO SET UP A TIME TO MEET ME!Hi, I’m Gam Gam! I’m an 11-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with the sweetest little soul. I may be a senior girl, but I still have so much love to give. Because of my age, I’m looking for a special someone who can open their heart and home to me as a hospice foster or adopter.I’m going blind and possibly hard of hearing, so I would do best in a calm, quiet home—either with gentle, laid-back dogs or as the only pup. My favorite things in the world are snuggling close and napping the day away. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to share your home and heart, I’d love nothing more than to spend my golden days by your side. Currently, I am available for adoption. If you are interested in meeting with me, please fill out an application or call the Humane Society of Forsyth County at 770-887-6480. Adoption hours are Tuesday through Thursday 11-5 and Friday and Saturday 1-5. All my love, Gam Gam /(^.^)\",AVAILABLE"

Meet Bernice! Bernice is a sweet, lovable puppy weighing about 15 pounds and approximately 11 weeks old. She’s doing wonderfully with potty training and is already sleeping through the night in her pen/play area. Bernice will let you know when she needs to go outside, which is pretty impressive for her age! She’s a total people-pup who loves to follow her humans wherever they go. Bernice is learning how to play with her toys and is gentle, docile, and incredibly affectionate. She listens well to commands and is eager to please, making her a joy to have around. Bernice would be a perfect addition to a loving home looking for a cuddly, well-mannered puppy with a calm and sweet disposition. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Puppies - We do not adopt puppies under 16 weeks to out of state adopters. This is due to our spay/neuter policy, and all dogs must be spayed/neutered before leaving Georgia state lines. We do not adopt siblings to the same household. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.

Story
Meet Honey Honey was named because she is as sweet as Honey! This young pup is an absolute love! Honey was at risk of euthanasia due to over-crowding. We rescued Honey, her mate Scout and another beauty named Dot. They are all safe at our no-kill shelter. We fell in love with Honey from the moment we saw her interactions with people, other dogs, and kitties! She loves them all. Honey is a gorgeous mixed breed – maybe Boston, maybe Jack Russell, it’s so hard to know. Honey is on the small side at eight months she’s only 31 lbs. She may top out at 35 lbs, but she is small and compact. She has a gorgeous fawn colored short coat, tall-standing ears, an alert and intelligent face and an athletic physique. She is stunning! Honey is friendly, affectionate, silly, fun-loving, calm, quiet, gentle, athletic, smart and sooooo sweet. Honey LOVES people, dogs and kitties. Every interaction is fun and she has an open and sociable personality. She walks well on a leash. She loves hiking, and playing with toys. Honey loves her mate Scout and will be adopted with her. Honey likes to travel and hike. She’d do great for those adventures out to wineries and cafes. She’ll love to curl up with her people on a comfy couch or a sunny porch. Hard to believe that someone let Honey go, because she is a keeper. We are smitten with this girl and know that you will be too. If interested in Honey and Scout, please submit a dog application online at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org Please call our shelter at 706-865-4135 or email us at smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net to let us know to be on the lookout. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out of state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals. Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually is operating at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
