Story
If you're looking for a feisty playmate, a super affectionate snuggle buddy, and an eager walking companion all rolled into one, you're looking for Rocky! He is a 5-year-old, 17 lb. rat terrier-Chihuahua mix who is full of energy and enthusiasm. He thrives on affection and physical contact (even teeth brushing!) and will want to hang out near you and soak up all the attention you can provide -- especially if that attention involves a game of tug, fetch, or chase. When you're busy, he will run around excitedly playing in your fenced yard or maybe just settle in for a quick nap. Rocky has had extensive training and is a quick learner who already knows many verbal cues like "sit", "lie down", "off", and "place". He is reliably house-trained, rides well in the car, and has nice manners. Despite all of Rocky's charm and devotion to his family, he is challenged by anxiety around new people and larger dogs, and encounters with strangers (both human and canine) can be loud and tense. Although he generally gets along with other dogs his size or smaller, he gets territorial in his home environment, so Rocky needs to be an only dog. He hasn't spent much time around cats, but he could likely learn to peacefully coexist with a calm, confident feline friend. With people, he will eventually learn to trust them and turn into a warm cuddle buddy, but in the beginning, strangers who don't want to risk being nipped shouldn't try to rush the process of becoming friends. If he is given that time and space, he will soon show his happy, affectionate, fun-loving side. If you have a fenced yard where he has space to run, no other animals or small children competing for resources or your attention, and few visitors, he will be in heaven. In the right home, Rocky will be happy, utterly devoted, affectionate, obedient, engaging, and your most faithful companion. Rocky reveals more in his photos at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/rocky   .       If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www.

Story
Have you heard the news??? Zara is available to be adopted . . . with NO ADOPTION FEE!! A huge thanks goes to Animal Legal Defense Fund for this! Because of ALDF, actress Kate Mara is sponsoring the adoption fee for some of our amazing dogs! Wow - can you believe it?? You can adopt one of our great dogs, and spend the adoption fee on new toys, soft beds, and yummy treats instead! ara, named Blyss at the shelter, ended up there when someone called and said there was a dog on their front porch. We don't know if she was lost, or someone had dumped her, but no one came to get her, until we did. This girl, who we think is a mix of rat terrier, min pin and a little bit of pittie, is a petite girl. She weighed 29 pounds when we pulled her from the shelter, and was a bit underweight, with some filling out to do. She is about 2 years old now, and is at her perfect weight, weighing about 38 pounds. She has a slender little body with long legs, a beautiful red brindle coat, and ears for days! If you have wanted a dog to do dog sports with - like agility - this sweet athletic girl may be a great fit for you! Like all of our dogs, Zara is in Atlanta. She can be adopted at any time, and will be available to go to her new home when she graduates from the program in mid-December. November 1, 2024, 6:01 pm

Meet Nala! She is a 3 year old jack russell/ terrier mix/spayed/rescue. She is with an elderly couple in poor health and looking for her forever home. She is very sweet and playful and would enjoy family interaction or being a companion. She is up-to-date on all shots and did have surgery during winter from swallowing a drawstring but has been fully recovered for a while. Not looking for any fees, just a loving owner/family/with or without kids to give her the love and attention she deserves. She lives in Grayson, GA but can probably come meet you!
