Story
Alloy needs a unicorn. Shelter life is very hard on him, and he cannot live here long-term, so his situation is urgent. What is a unicorn? That is a special person willing to give a guy some patience and time to blossom in their home and help out a dog that really needs it. You would foster first and could adopt if all goes well! If you are interested in being his hero and want to adopt him, we are looking for someone who will long-term foster him and agree to work with our trainer to help

Story
Meet Hayes! He is an adorable Maltese mix who weighs 10 pounds. He is estimated to be around 3 years old. Hayes has a playful spirit and an incredibly sweet soul! He loves spending his days tossing around his favorite stuffed animals (especially his Lamb Chop!) and his evenings snuggled inside a blanket fort of his own making. When he's tired, you'll often find him burrowed under a cozy blanket, soaking up all the comfort and affection he can get. Although he can be cautious around new people initially, Hayes is very quick to welcome new members into his circle once he realizes they are safe. Once he has warmed up, Hayes is wonderful with people and has proven to be remarkably patient and even gentle with children! Hayes lives with a three year old in his foster home. He handles the excitement and energy of kids with impressive tolerance and grace. He is also an excellent passenger on car rides and can comfortably stay home alone for a few hours in his crate. When it comes to walks, Hayes enjoys peaceful outings where he has plenty of space to relax and explore. He can be leash-reactive toward unfamiliar dogs and strangers, particularly people who approach him suddenly or move quickly, such as runners. He also is happy to stick to a fenced in backyard for playtime if you have one! Hayes is reliably potty trained in his foster home, and will do well in his forever home with a consistent routine. He could do well as the center of attention as the only dog, or with a confident similar in size dog sibling that matches his energy! He is a perfect angel at the vet and at the groomer. Hayes’ ideal home is one where he can enjoy plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship. Whether it's a family with children or active adults who love to play, he will thrive with people who have lots of love and affection to share! ********** Hayes will come to you already neutered vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

It may also be found by clicking on the link to our website. Preference is given to applicants located within the metro Atlanta area.

Story
Oliver is an 8 year old, 11 lb Maltese with a sweet, gentle personality. After spending his early years in a puppy mill, he’s shy with new people and situations, but once he feels safe, he’s a loving little companion who enjoys being close to his people. Oliver would do best in a quiet, adult-only home. He’s is warming up to men, although he tends to trust women more quickly. While Oliver is fostered with other animals, he doesn’t love sharing his humans’ attention with them, so he would be happiest as an only pet. He isn’t destructive and doesn’t need to be crated, as crates can make him feel protective. Oliver does wear a belly band indoors. If you have a calm home and the patience to let Oliver settle in at his own pace, you’ll gain a devoted little friend. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $300, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Meet Elle Woods! Elle is a 2–3-year-old, 4 lb mixed-breed girl who we suspect may be a Maltese/Chihuahua mix. She came to us with a limp, and X-rays revealed an old fracture that had healed incorrectly. Unfortunately, amputation was the only option, but Elle has recovered beautifully and hasn't let it slow her down one bit! Elle is dog and cat friendly and especially enjoys playing with smaller dogs. She walks nicely on a leash and is also happy to ride along in a backpack carrier, making her a great little hiking companion! She's good in the car and is doing well with both crate and house-training, although her tiny bladder means she can't hold it for very long periods. Her ideal home would have another small, friendly dog to keep her company and give her a playmate. Elle may be tiny, but she's ready to take on the world with her forever family! To adopt this princess, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $550, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.
