Story
Star is a two-year-old, 30-pound lab mix that was picked up by the shelter. While she was seemingly in good shape with a shiny coat and good weight, her eyes were severely damaged, and she was terrified not to be able to see the barking dogs around her or know that she was safe from them. She stayed curled in a ball pressed against the chain link the whole time she was there. She dared not move from that spot because she didn't know what was around her. Once we got her to the vet, she did the same thing, curling up in a corner and not moving even to eat or go to the bathroom. Fortunately, We found a foster and got her into a quiet home. Unfortunately, as soon as she relaxed and trusted, it was time for her to go to the vet to be spayed. An exam of her eyes proved that she was blind, and her eyes were likely causing her great pain, so they were both removed. She is not comfortable with her blindness, and we are not sure what happened, but it is evident that she has not lived her life this way. Although scared, there is no aggression toward people or other dogs, and we think that another friendly dog to mentor her would be great. She spends her days on her bed, her safe space, and only moves to eat or potty, which she dutifully does on the "pee pads" in her room. Star has a challenging road ahead of her, but she is coming along well, and with some patience and time, she has so much potential to have a whole and happy life. If you want to nurture this girl along this new road, ALR will stand beside you and give you all the support needed.  If you want to adopt or foster to adopt Star, please click the "Adopt" button and submit an Adoption application. FROM THE FOSTER: Star has made good progress in her foster home adjusting to her new life of blindness.  She has the run of the house and easily navigates the 8 stairs off the back deck to go out to potty.  She gets along well with my two 10 yr old male large dogs.  Even though my Shepherd kept showing her the play bow and bringing her toys ( of course she couldn’t see) she has never shown any desire to play.  She is not intimidated by them and none of them have shown any aggression.  She also allows affection on her terms when she wants it but immediately comes running when she hears “treats” or the sound of a plastic bag being opened. Star takes treats softly and occasionally will lay beside you and allow petting.  She is not an overly affection or a cuddly dog. Star is crate trained but at night I gate her in the bedroom where all 3 sleep on their beds separately. (No accidents)  She did share her bed with her smaller dog friend, Sally who passed in June.  I think  having Sally gave her confidence in the beginning.  She can walk on leash but is very anxious about any new adventure. ##805877##

Ruger is a two-year-old, 75-pound Fox Red lab purchased from a breeder and is now being surrendered along with another purebred female lab named Remi because they no longer have time for them. The owner said they are housetrained and crate trained, good with dogs and kids, and like playing fetch and swimming. They are good with each other and easier together than apart.

Story
William is a ten-year-old, 65-pound lab mix picked up as a stray by a shelter. Although a senior, he gets around well, has done well in boarding with the other dogs, and is housetrained. We hate for the older dogs to be in boarding, so we hope someone will see William and want to give him a comfy and loving home. If you want to foster or adopt him, please go to www.Atlantalabrescue.com and apply.  FROM THE FOSTER:  William's foster says he likes the simple pleasures in life - toys, treats and naps, but make no mistake, when its time to go for a walk, he is all wags and excitement. When she leaves the house, he is quiet, no accidents and doesn't get into anything.Low key, calm and quiet. ##2291385##

Story
Abel is a four-year-old, 55-pound lab mix that was hit by a car and picked up by a shelter the night before Christmas Eve. The shelter took him to the emergency room, but the injuries were too extensive for the shelter’s budget, so they came back to get him to take him back to euthanize him. They called us to see if we could help in a last-ditch effort. It was two days before Christmas and everyone was tucked in for the holidays, but we had to help. We told them that if the ER could take him and the shelter could get him back there, we would take him. When we called the ER to set it up, they were so excited that he was coming back and would get a chance to live. After a couple of weeks and two surgeries, we found a foster for him and he has recuperated, healed and is ready to find a forever home. The fosters have other dogs and a young child, and he has been wonderful with both, plus he is great in the house and loves to chase the ball. Abel is ready for anything and will fit in anywhere.

Ella is a five-year-old, 37-pound lab mix dropped at the shelter with another dog named Angel. The two dogs aren’t bonded, and Angel, a shepherd mix, already has a home, so we’re hoping to do the same for Ella. Her petite size makes her fit in anywhere, and she is as cuddly and affectionate as she is cute. Crate and housetrained, she likes walks and is ready for her new home.

Story
Guinness is a sixteen-year-old, 45-pound lab that his owner surrendered in a rural shelter, which gets very little, if any, traffic. The owner is an elderly lady whose house is filled with stairs. She was too old to carry him up and down, and poor Guinness was finding it harder and harder to maneuver, so she took him to the shelter. Guinness seems to be in fairly good health for a dog his age, and we would love to get him back in a comfortable home to live out his days. He lives with other dogs, including tiny ones, and gets along great. He is house trained but we would like to find a home where stairs to go outside aren’t an issue. If you would like to foster or adopt him, we will help with vetting. Please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com and apply to foster or adopt. ##2371080##

Story
Hi there! I`m Sandy, and I recently went on an adventure with a very nice volunteer. We took a walk in the park, and let me tell you, I was excited! I always go outside to do my business, so I had no trouble finding a spot during our adventure. I met a few new people along the way, and I was definitely excited about it. I can get pretty exuberant when I meet new faces—I might pull on the leash, bark, whine, or jump around a bit. When I met some kids, though, I was much softer and wiggly. I loved getting attention from them and wagging my tail. I’m great with kids, and I really enjoy when they pet me.I also met some other dogs, but I’m not too interested in playing with them. I mostly ignored one of the dogs we encountered, and sometimes I do get a bit aroused and hyperactive when I see other dogs on a leash. If I’m close to another dog, I might growl a little, but it’s not always the case. I can be a bit unpredictable in that way, but I’m learning to be more calm around them.I`m a medium-energy guy, so I’d be happy with a nice walk or a run—anything to help burn off some of my energy! On our adventure, I didn`t go potty much, but I did stop a lot to pee. I did great when we visited a local outdoor patio, too! I was calm and relaxed, just laying on the ground, and I even got some attention from a family with little kids nearby. I love when people stop to talk to me!A little about me—you should know that I *love* car rides, especially with the windows down! I also really enjoy tug-of-war, although fetch is not my thing. I might be a little unpredictable when it comes to my back feet, though. The groomer tried to trim my nails, but I wasn`t having it and tried to lunge at her. So, yeah, we didn`t go back for the nails after that.But overall, I’m a sweet boy who loves attention and affection! I’m great with people, love my walks, and I’d be so happy to have a family who understands my quirky side. If you`re up for a snuggle or a tug-of-war session, I’m your guy!
