Story
Reintroducing Boo-Boo: Your loyal sidekick! Age: 6 Months | Weight: 23 lbs of pure love Status: Fully vaccinated and ready for adventure! Puppies grow and change so fast, we thought it was time to share some updated information on sweet Boo-Boo. If you’re looking for a medium-sized best friend with a large-sized heart, Boo-Boo is your guy! Now 6-months old and a sturdy 23 lbs., Boo-Boo has officially graduated from the baby phase and is ready to take on the world. While his name might be Boo-Boo, he’s anything but a mistake! He’s a smart, affectionate rat terrier mix who embodies the best of the breed: he’s clever, loyal, and incredibly sweet. Why Boo-Boo is the best: Social butterfly: Boo-Boo is a friend to all! He’s great with other dogs once he’s had been properly introduced. He’d love a canine sibling to wrestle with, but he’s also happy being your one-and-only. Housetraining hero: As long as he has a human who can take him out for frequent "business trips," he holds it well indoors at his foster home most of the time, though he's still learning. Versatile living: Now that his puppy shots are complete, he’s ready to explore! While he’d think a fenced-in yard is a total dream for zoomies, sunbathing, and exploration, he would be ok without one as long as he gets plenty of time. Food motivated=trainable: This puppy (like most puppies) loves treats, so he should be easy to train for tricks and manners. The ultimate shadow: True to his rattie roots, Boo-Boo wants to be where the action is. Whether you’re folding laundry or watching a movie, expect a warm chin on your knee and a wagging tail by your side. Boo-Boo is looking for a family to continue his training and give him all the head scratches he can handle. Is your home the one he’s been waiting for?

Story
Reintroducing Yogi: The smart, spunky adventurer! Age: 6 Months | Weight: 25 lbs. of clever curiosity Status: Fully vaccinated and vigilant! Puppies grow and change so fast, we thought it was time to share some updated information on sweet Yogi, a loyal watchman with a heart of gold. If you're looking for a dog who actually takes his "home security" duties seriously, you have to meet Yogi! At 25 lbs., Yogi is a handsome, sturdy boy who might be "smarter than the average bear," but he’s also a lot more observant. Yogi has a big, impressive bark that sounds much tougher than he actually is! He’s not aggressive—he just wants to make sure everything in his world is safe before he lets his guard down. Why Yogi is a special find: The ultimate guard dog (in training): Yogi is naturally alert and will definitely let you know if a stranger—or the mailman—is approaching. If you want a dog who makes you feel safe and looked after, Yogi is your man. Slow and steady wins the race: Yogi is "selectively social." When meeting other dogs, he tends to bark a lot at first. He just needs a little extra time and a patient, slow introduction. Once he realizes a new dog is a friend, he warms up and shows his playful side! A dedicated shadow: Once you are in Yogi’s "inner circle," you are there for life. He is incredibly devoted to his humans and will be your most loyal companion, stuck to your side like glue. House-training progress: Yogi is well on his way to being fully reliable as long as he’s kept on a consistent schedule. Yogi would love to have a big yard to run around and explore, but he can live without one if he gets lots of outdoor time for "business", exercise, and play. Now that he's fully vaccinated, Yogi is ready for a home and family that understands he needs time to assess his surroundings before jumping in. He is looking for a confident owner who can lead the way and show him that the world isn’t so scary. In return, he’ll give you a lifetime of protection, smarts, and deep devotion.

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
