Story
A foster-to-adopt option is available for me, giving us the chance to get to know each other before making it official! Meet Chance! Chance is a lovable 3-year-old Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix with a heart as big as his sweet personality. Chance has a head tremor caused by a congenital cerebellar lesion, but it doesn’t slow him down at all. , This was confirmed by a neurology consultation. He’s a happy, affectionate little guy who enjoys life at a relaxed, low-to-moderate energy pace—happy to play a little, go on short walks, or just curl up for cuddles and quiet companionship. He is house-trained and crate-trained, gets along beautifully with dogs, kids, and cats, and greets everyone he meets with warmth and friendliness. Chance is looking for a loving forever home where he can share his gentle, loyal heart every single day. Chance is currently undergoing treatments for heartworm disease. Until he has completed his treatments and is fully recovered, Chance is available for adoption only in the Atlanta area; He must be able to come to Furkids' shelter for treatments. Chance weighs 13lbs and is approximately 3 years old (est. birth date 09/24/2022). Chance has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. Chance's adoption fee is $315. If you want more information about Chance, please submit a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. At this time, meeting our dogs is by appointment only.

Story
A fosters-to-adopt option is available for me, giving us the chance to get to know each other before making it official! Meet Baby Bruno! Bruno may be small, but he’s got a big personality—and a little spice to go with it! This clever, loyal pup is full of love once he feels safe with you. At first, he can be nervous around new people and situations, but with patience (and maybe a little cheese), his sweet and affectionate side shines through. Because Bruno can become nippy if startled or rushed, he’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands “spicy” dogs and is willing to respect his boundaries. A calm, low-traffic home without children will be the best fit for him. The good news? Bruno has plenty of great qualities to offer his perfect person! He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and enjoys the company of other dogs. A fenced yard is required. While he can walk on a leash, he becomes very reactive to strangers. To help set him up for success, Bruno’s adoption will include a couple of meet-and-greets and a home visit. He isn’t a dog for everyone—but for the right person, he’ll be a devoted and wonderful companion. Baby Bruno weighs 13lbs. and is approximately 4 years old (est. birth date 03/22/2021). Baby Bruno has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. Baby Bruno's adoption fee is $85. If you want more information about Baby Bruno, please submit a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. At this time, meeting our dogs is by appointment only. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. Must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.

Story
Meet this adorable Shih Tzu mix—your new best friend in a fluffy 16‑pound package! At just 2 years old, he’s a puppy at heart with the perfect blend of playful energy and sweet companionship. He loves a good game of fetch and will happily show off his skills if you toss a toy his way. This little guy is fantastic with kids, cats, and other dogs, making him a wonderful fit for just about any home. He’s great on a leash, eager to please, and always excited to greet you with a big waggy tail and happy energy. When playtime is over, you’ll likely find him burrowed under a blanket, soaking up the cozy life. His cute floppy ears and beautifully growing coat only add to his irresistible charm. Affectionate, friendly, and full of love, he’s the kind of dog who will steal your heart the moment you meet him. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts fun and cuddly, he’s ready to meet you! Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies!

Story
Farley is a 2 year old Shih Tzu mix . He came to us matted, terrified, and confused. Farley loves walks, he loves food, and he enjoys being close to his people. He’s slowly learning how to play and that he is safe and loved. Farley is crate trained, rocking potty training, does great on a leash, and is very treat motivated. Farley would do best in a home with older children and no men and an active family who would walk him daily. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies!
