Story
Alloy is a deeply sweet guy who is working through some fear issues that typically have to do with being handled. He was adopted for a few weeks but ultimately needed to come back to PAWS because of these challenges. He finds fast movements, being picked up or having a harness put over his head pretty triggering. For this reason, Alloy will need an adult-only, low-stress home, where he can have some time and space to decompress. Our trainer has evaluated Alloy and feels he can do very well in the right home. She is willing to work with his adopters to provide the training and tips needed (at no charge) to help him successfully transition into his new home. Even with his challenges, Alloy is a loving dog and has tested well with other dogs.

Story
Jasper Male Poodle DOB: 3/13/2021 Adoption Fee: $300 Jasper is a sweet boy that just wants to be loved and cared for. He had a really hard start to his life, and would really love to experience a home that he is safe and taken care of. With this boy, he will need some extra work to find his trust. He is looking for someone that is calm and can give him patience with his nervousness around people given his past. With proper socialization and time, this boy will be such a happy boy that will blossom into the amazing dog he is. Could you be that person that shows Jasper there are good people out there? Please give this boy a chance, he deserves to be spoiled and loved for the rest of his life!Please read the animal bios completely before requesting additional information as we do our best to answer the most frequently ask questions in these bios. In order to adopt one of our animals an application must be submitted and approved. You can find these applications by going to http://humanemorgan.org/index.php?page=adoption ABOUT ADOPTING FROM THE HSMC: The shelter address is 1170 Fairground Rd. Madison, GA 30650. For more information on any of our pets, please feel free to email us at INFO@HUMANEMORGAN.ORG give us a call at 706-343-9977. All dogs are heartworm negative, current on vaccines/dewormings, and microchipped. All cats are current on vaccines/deworming, and microchipped. We are open 12pm-5pm Sunday-Friday and 10 am-5pm on Saturday, we schedule our last adoption at 4pm everyday to allow our staff enough time to feed and walk dogs. We are an animal shelter and therefore are not able to individually potty train our residents. Many adult dogs do arrive “house broken” however due to animal behavior any change in environment will make an emotional impact on the animals and therefore initiate unwanted behaviors during the acclamation period. Please keep this in mind. Puppies do not have the biological maturity to maintain absolute bladder or bowel control and will require a certain degree of potty training and house breaking. Please consider the time and commitment it takes to provide the necessary building blocks for these special babies, prior to submitting your application. If you have any questions please email us at info@humanemorgan.org and provide name of the animal you are interested in, in the subject line. Thank you, HSMC Staff ADOPTION FEES Adoption Fees may change without notice. Always verify the fee when finalizing the adoption. ~ Cats and Kittens ~ * Under 1 Year = $150* 1-8 Years = $100* Over 8 Years = $75** Purebred cats and kittens may be subject to special pricing ~ Mix Breed Dogs ~ * Under 1 Year = $225 * 1 -8 Years = $200 * Over 8 Years = $150~ Purebred and Designer Breed Dogs ~ * Under 1 Year = $300 * 1-8 Years = $300 * Over 8 Years = $150 ~ Medical and Special Needs ~ We have rescued dogs and cats which require additional medical care or that have special needs which are not life threatening.

Story
Bailey  is a 2.5 year-old Maltese mix .  He was surrendered  because  his owner  was not prepared for the energy of a young puppy .  He is all legs and is still like a gangly Colt at this point.  He's very kissy and huggable once he gets to know you,  but he also has lots of energy and so will need a fenced-in backyard.  Bailey is not good with children, so he would be best in a home with adults and no kids under 13.  He weighs 15 pounds. He is house trained (not perfect) and crate trained. Alcovy dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines, up to date on heart-worm preventative and flea preventative and micro-chipped. If interested in adoption, please complete an online application on Alcovy Pet Rescue's website at www.alcovypet.com. You must have a vet reference to adopt. We verify the care of past/current pets. Applications without a vet reference will not be approved for adoption. Our goal is to have the very best home for all our dogs and cats and therefore we reserve the right to approve or deny an application based on what we determine is in the pet's best interest.If interested in adoption, please complete an online application on Alcovy Pet Rescue's website at www.alcovypet.com.  You must have a vet reference to adopt.  We verify the care of past/current pets.  Applications without a vet reference will not be approved for adoption.

Story
• Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025. ----------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story
Dastan isn’t just a dog—he’s a loyal, big-hearted companion waiting to be someone’s whole world. This loving boy thrives on attention and affection, and he’s happiest when he can soak up every bit of love you have to give. Dastan would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can truly shine and build a deep, one-on-one bond with his person. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will greet you with excitement, stay by your side, and fill your days with warmth, Dastan is ready to give you his whole heart.*Please be aware that he follows a strict low-fat diet, and his treats must be made with limited, simple ingredients.He will also need dental care and vaccinations completed immediately, looking for someone prepared to take that on right away.I am hoping to find a home that understands his needs and is ready to provide the care and attention he deserves. Please only apply if you are confident you can meet these requirements.
