Story
Meet Leelo, formerly Leeloo from the Athens Area Humane Society! Leeloo was adopted out earlier this year, and after escaping from her owner's house they chose to let me find her a better fit. Leelo is 1-2 years old and full of wiggly puppy love. She seems to be completely house-trained (no accidents since we've had her) and enjoys laying on her bed with a bone, but is also happy to meet a new friend at any opportunity. We believe that she would be great with another dog, but we haven't gotten the opportunity to test it yet. Cats do not seem to be on the table for her, though, and will not hesitate to let you know when she sees one. Leelo is not leash-trained, so this will need to be a priority for her if you do not have a fenced-in area to let her out for bathroom breaks. However she is a very smart girl and will be a quick learner! Leelo will come with a Martingale collar, leash, velcro coat, dog bed, and food.

Story
Meet Wayne & Bruce 💙🐾Wayne and Bruce are a dynamic duo who arrived together as strays, and their bond is just as strong as their charm! At around 1 year old, these handsome boys are believed to be Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd mixes — which means they’ve got the perfect blend of brains, loyalty, and playful energy.Wayne is a sweet, goofy guy who loves to romp around and soak up attention. Bruce matches his energy with a fun-loving spirit and a heart full of affection. Together, they are playful, curious, and always ready for their next adventure — whether that’s chasing toys in the yard or cuddling up after a long day of fun.Despite their rough start, both boys are incredibly loving and eager to connect with their people. They’re still young, so they’ll benefit from continued training and structure, but they’re smart and motivated — a wonderful combination for any family looking to add a loyal companion (or two!) to their home.Wayne and Bruce can be adopted together or separately, but they would absolutely love a home where they can continue to grow, play, and be cherished members of the family.If you’re looking for sweet, playful best friends with big hearts and even bigger potential, Wayne and Bruce are ready to meet you! 🐶💙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
🚨 Incredible Dog Alert! 🚨Y’all, meet Rex. This handsome hunk is housebroken, obsessed with sticks, and rocking the most gorgeous shiny, flat-coat-retriever-looking fur. This 3 year old fella is FUN.Rex comes in hot at first because he’s that excited to see a human who wants to play with him, but show him a ball or a stick and boom! Instant redirection achieved! Big sticks, little sticks, the perfect stick... watching Rex carefully select his stick of the moment is truly a joy.😃He’s good with other dogs, knows how to sit (especially if a stick is involved 😄), and has an absolutely joyful, happy spirit. Rex would make an amazing adventure buddy. He'd make a fun companion. Take him hiking, swimming, camping, or curl up with him on the couch after an entertaining fetch session at the park or in the yard. He may be a black dog… but Rex is pure gold. ✨🐾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
11/25 - Haggard is in a temporary foster home. Here's what we have learned about him so far. We haven’t learned too much yet, but here’s what we do know: he’s an incredibly loving puppy who adores playing, chewing (as puppies do!), and being near his people. He’s house-trained, does great in the crate, and will follow you absolutely everywhere—especially into the kitchen, where he likes to stand right under you while you cook. 😄He has a healthy appetite and knows how to sit, though he’ll pop right back up to give you kisses. He enjoys going outside but is quick to come back in so he can trail behind his humans again. He sleeps through the night without a single peep and insists on being a lap dog in the car. Haggard is a staff favorite. 9 months old, Labrador mix. He entered our shelter on November 6.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.
