Story
My previous owner must have fed me all the time so I ate all the time and now I need to get my svelte figure back with your help. I enjoy walking around at rescue, so I’m not a couch potato. I was in awful condition when I was rescued. My ears had handful of fur in them and I was pretty matted all over. I get along with everyone at rescue. I stay clear of the rowdy ones, but if they want to sit with me I’m good with that. I’m a good girl. I want a family that will keep me safe and I’ll reward you with lots and lots of love.

Story
August 19, 2026 - I am back at Act2Pups, I lost my Mom unexpectedly. I'm getting vetted and settling back into rescue. I found myself out on my own until I was taken to a noisy scary place called the county shelter. I didn’t have a micro-chip and no one came to find me so I stayed in a small cage for a week until a nice person rescued me. I didn’t look too bad, but I was rushed to the vet after a few days of not eating. The vet discovered I had an infection, and pancreatitis. After some emergency treatment I went home and started on a low fat diet. I’m doing very well now. I’m a quiet little man and I have eyes that look clear into my soul. My hearing isn't very good. I do get along just fine with all my housemates so another small pup would be fine. I’m just the right age and weight for the right family.

Story
Meet Rowan & Cloey — A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Some dogs find their way into each other’s lives and become family. Rowan and Cloey are those dogs. They came to Furkids together, and their bond is incredibly special. Now, they’re looking for a forever home where they can stay together and continue being each other’s source of comfort, companionship, and love. Rowan is a lovable 7-year-old Maltese/Yorkie mix with a gentle, shy personality. He is housebroken and does well with other dogs. Rowan may take a little time to warm up, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality begins to shine. He is especially comforted by having Cloey nearby. Thunderstorms can be frightening for Rowan, so his forever family will need to provide extra reassurance and a cozy, secure place for him during storms. Cloey is a sweet 9-year-old Cairn Terrier with a big heart. She enjoys the company of other dogs and has Rowan by her side, which helps make her feel safe and secure. Cloey is not completely housebroken and is still working on her manners in the home. She can also be a little protective of her house and possessive around food, so her family will need to give her space and help her feel comfortable during mealtimes. With patience, consistency, and understanding, Cloey has so much love left to give. Together, Rowan and Cloey are more than two dogs — they are each other’s family. We believe they deserve the chance to grow old together, side by side, rather than having to wonder where the other one went. If you have room in your heart and home for two wonderful pups, you could give them the greatest gift of all: a forever home where they never have to be separated. Because of their individual needs, we do not recommend Rowan and Cloey for a home with small children. They would do best with an understanding adopter who is willing to give them patience, consistency, and the time they need to feel completely at home. 💕 Adoption fee: $175 per dog 💕 Both dogs must be adopted together. 💕 Adopters must be at least 21 years old. If you’ve ever believed that love means staying together, Rowan and Cloey are waiting to prove you right. Please apply to furkids.org.

Story
A ‘SPECIAL NEEDS’ CUTIE PIE:  Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 15 lbs.   Hello - I’m Neo! I was found on some railroad tracks by a good Good Samaritan.  After completing my stray hold through animal control, I spent a couple of weeks with them, during which I was treated for pneumonia.  Wanting me to have the loving home I deserve, they helped me make my way to Mostly Mutts, where I’ve continued receiving great care.  My medical needs have been addressed, and while I’m still a special needs pup, I’m doing much better.  I will need ongoing medication and care, but I’m so happy that I’m ready to find a loving home of my very own! (See below for medical details.)     • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I get along great with the pack of pups in my current foster home – from the Chihuahua to the Shepherd mix – we are good buddies!  If you have a nice doggy at home, let’s meet! / Though I initially gave chase to the kitties in my foster home, I’ve learned not to do that and am now pretty calm around them.  All cats are different, so I’m not sure how I would be with other kitties. / I would do best with older children.  Smaller children that may spook me could risk a nip.  So, let’s meet if you have older children. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a sweet guy with a friendly and gentle nature.  A happy little guy who loves to be with my people, I will also take time to sprawl out on the floor and look out the windows.  I can sometimes be a little vocal when I am happy and then I like to roll around on the floor and be silly – what fun!  Sometimes I’m up for snuggling in a lap, while other times I prefer just being near you on the floor.  I’m a delightful and happy little guy.  / Energy level: 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  In my foster home, I’ve learned what ‘harness’ means when this is put on or taken off (I should only use a harness for walks and not have a collar attached to a leash due to my trachea challenges. In my foster home, I ‘come’ when called, and ‘go out’ when we go outside.  I formerly knew the ‘sit’ and ‘leave it’ commands, though I haven’t practiced those in a little while.  Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s continue my training together. / I’m not crated in my foster home. / My potty habits are a work in progress.  I do pretty well on a schedule and have improved at going while on a leash.  So, please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can continue to improve. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love my walks and have a fun little prance in my step.  Toys are fun, and I enjoy shaking them playfully or carrying them around.  I’m more energetic outside and love to play outside with my people – but shouldn’t do much outside time when it’s very hot and humid due to my health challenges. / I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.  I have severe collapsing trachea (so I do cough a good bit) as well as an enlarged heart.  I’m on a few prescription medications for these conditions that I’ll need to stay on for life.  Please ask about this so the folks at Mostly Mutts can fill you in on everything.  You may notice from my pictures that I have some tartar and yellowing of my teeth, but I cannot have a dental cleaning due to my trachea and heart challenges, but there are over the counter things you can try with me for dental health – once your vet approves them of course.  Ask about me to learn all the things I’ve overcome as I continue to be a wonderful companion.  I am looking for a loving home with a wonderful furever family that will love me and continue to meet my needs!  My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.  August 30, 2026, 10:07 am
