Story
Bianchi is the most precious 9 year old Maltese terrier mix senior who was unfortunately surrendered at no fault of his own. He’s lots of fun and loves going for walks. He sits nicely for treats. He is still spunky and has many years left to give! He’s already neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and is heartworm negative. Come meet him in kennel 304, his ID is 10991. Please note, all of the pet listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers, not shelter staff. If this pet came in as lost (not an owner surrender), we don't know how they might be with children, other pets, or if house trained. You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When calling the shelter about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER, names are oftentimes made up by volunteers. This pet and many others are available for adoption from the Cobb County Animal Shelter 1060 Al Bishop Dr. Marietta, GA 30008, call (770) 499-4136 for more information. Shelter hours are: Tues. - Sun. 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by appointment only until further notice, CLOSED Mondays & Holidays.

Story
** Current location: in a boarding house in South Korea ** Meet Hani👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be survivors of an illegal breeding operation—were discovered abandoned on the streets of South Korea. Hani was among them. The condition of her sagging nipples suggested a tough past, likely having been used repeatedly for breeding. Now, Hani is ready to move on from that painful chapter and experience the warmth of a loving home. She’s hoping to find a forever family who will give her the care and affection she’s always deserved. • Personality: Gentle, Calm, Sweet Hani likely hasn’t experienced much kindness or affection from people in the past. She doesn’t go out of her way to ask for attention from volunteers, but she’s an incredibly gentle and endearing little girl. With time, patience, and love, we’re confident that she’ll begin to open up—and her true personality will blossom, just like any cherished family dog. • Affinity with - Dogs: Gentle around other dogs - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with adults / Not tested with kids, but we assume she would be good with all gentle people! • Walking Manners: In training—she gets quite nervous on a leash due to a lack of walking experience and tries to run away. With consistent practice, she’s likely to improve over time. • Housetrained: Will need housetraining in a new environment • Bathing/Brushing: Very good and calm • Car Sickness: Comfortable with car rides • Separation Anxiety: None • Barks/Howls: Almost none. • Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies found so far • Shedding level (1~10): 2-3 • Likes: She enjoys getting pets! • Health: She has a mild yeast infection in the ears, which is one of the most common types of ear infections, often related to allergies. This usually improves with a bit of care—feeding him an allergy-friendly diet and cleaning his ears at home with ear drops every three days.

Story
** Current location: in a boarding house in South Korea ** Meet Lulu👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—likely victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Lulu was one of them. Her sagging nipples hinted at the harsh life she had endured, likely used repeatedly for breeding. Lulu is ready to leave her difficult past behind and finally enjoy life as a cherished member of a loving family. She’s looking for a forever home where she’ll be cared for and loved the way she deserves. • Personality: Gentle, Calm, Sweet Lulu doesn’t seem to have received much love from humans in the past. She doesn’t actively seek out attention or affection from volunteers, but she’s such a sweet and gentle little girl. We believe that with time and patience, once she learns how to interact and bond with people, her true personality will shine—just like any beloved family dog. • Affinity with - Dogs: Gentle around other dogs - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with adults / Not tested with kids, but we assume she would be good with all gentle people! • Walking Manners: In training—she gets quite nervous on a leash due to a lack of walking experience but also seems curious about the outdoors. With consistent practice, she’s likely to improve over time. • Housetrained: Will need housetraining in a new environment • Bathing/Brushing: Very good and calm • Car Sickness: Comfortable with car rides • Separation Anxiety: None • Barks/Howls: Almost none. • Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies found so far • Shedding level (1~10): 2-3 • Likes: She likes getting pets! • Health: When rescued, Lulu was weak and suffering from hematuria caused by a bladder stone, which required immediate surgery. Thankfully, she has made a full recovery! However, she will need a bit of ongoing special care, such as a urinary health diet and limited calcium intake.
