Story
This puppy wandered into my driveway and wiggled his way into my heart. He was covered in fleas, and terrified of being in a crate. He's since been socialized and treated for fleas, he is free of any parasites, up to date on shots, and neutered. He had an umbilical hernia that was also repaired during his neuter surgery and is fully recovered from both and ready for his forever home. He did have post operative dysphoria, and will need special care for any future surgeries. He has a metal fenced in area instead of a crate to reduce his stress that can go with him when adopted. He's very snuggly and loving once he's been able to play and get his energy out. He loves tug of war and walks. He's great on a harness. I'll include his harness, favorite toys, and fence with his adoption. He was born approximately in the last week of July 2026. If I could keep him I absolutely would but I already have so many pets. He deserves a loving home of his own!

Story
Sarah was labeled a Pitbull by the shelter where she was saved from euthanasia but we believe her to be a mix of Rat Terrier and Boston Terrier.  She isn't ready to attend adoption events due to her health since she is majorly underweight at 12.2 lbs at 5 months old.  Our vet believes she was confined a greater part of her puppyhood with little to no exercise so her leg muscles need to be strenthened with regular walking vs rough and tumble playing.  She is very loving but is also a puppy so she does like to nibble on you so her foster is working on correcting this behavior (so no small children).  We believe she may weight between 35-45 lbs at adulthood.   ##2890793##

Story
Thumbelina - 23935 - Kennel 318 - Arrived November 7, 2026 - Rat Terrier mix - black and white - female - 12 years 7 months old - 22 lbs - Spayed - Up to date on vaccines - Heartworm negative Thumbelina is a petite, sweet-faced girl with a black head and back, a white chest and legs, tiny tan eyebrow dots, and big, soft ears that tip at the top. Her muzzle has gone silver, and her dark, gentle eyes look at you with a calm that makes you want to sit down beside her. Thumbelina was surrendered to Cobb Animal Services and arrived on November 7, 2026. At 12 years and 7 months old and 22 pounds, she has spent more than a decade being a dog, and it is so sad that she should be spending her golden years in a cage. A girl who has given so many years of companionship deserves a soft bed and a quiet spot of her own, not a kennel. Thumbelina is very calm and quiet, and she is house trained, dog friendly, and cat friendly. She still has a lot of love to give, and she is ready to share it with someone who will take their time with her. A dog who is gentle with everyone in the house is a rare find, and Thumbelina is exactly that. Adopting a senior dog is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Seniors are already who they are going to be, and no one is more grateful for a warm lap and a kind voice than a dog who has waited for one. Thumbelina is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Come meet her in kennel 318. She has waited long enough. Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers. If this cat or dog came in as a lost animal, we do not know how they might be with children, other pets, or if house trained. You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When inquiring about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER. This pet is available for adoption from Cobb County Animal Services, 1060 Al Bishop Dr. Marietta, GA 30008, (770) 499-4136. Shelter hours: Tues. - Sun. 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Mondays & Holidays. The adoption includes shots, altering, a heartworm or combo test and a microchip.
