Story
Waffles - 22907 - Kennel 202 - Arrived September 26, 2026, as a stray - Terrier mix - tri color - male - Estimated 2 years old - 23 lbs - Will be neutered prior to adoption - Up to date on vaccines - Heartworm negative Waffles has a tri-color coat of black, white, and tan, with white eyebrows that make him look like he's always asking a question and warm brown eyes you could get lost in. He is every bit as cute as his photo, and the moment you meet him, you'll feel it. Waffles arrived at Cobb Animal Services as a stray on September 26, 2026. We don't know the story of how he got here, but we know where his next chapter can begin. At an estimated 2 years old and 23 pounds, he is a sturdy, cuddle-sized dog with plenty of life ahead of him. His finder shared that Waffles sits, lies down, and rolls over for belly rubs. Picture coming home to that face, a wagging little body, and a pup who is ready to flop over for some love. A dog like that doesn't need much to feel at home, just someone to be on the other end of those belly rubs. Waffles is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and will be neutered before he goes home. He has spent his days in a kennel waiting for the one thing that matters most, a family to call his own. Come meet Waffles in kennel 202. He's ready to roll over and say hello. 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.

Story
SWEET & VERY HARD OF HEARING: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 12 lbs. Hi, I'm Edna! I came to Mostly Mutts when I found myself in need of a new home. I enjoyed my time with the nice volunteers who showed me love and took great care of me while I was at the shelter. Now I'm in a wonderful foster home while I wait for my new family to come and adopt me. I hope to meet them very soon and charm them with my cuteness and laid-back nature!  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and though I wasn't quite ready to play with them, I was interested and did not show any aggression, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let's meet! In my foster home, I simply ignore the dogs I come across while on our walks—even the ones that bark. / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet, but my foster things older calm kids would be best since I'm an older gal and don't hear well, so if you have kids like this, let's meet.     • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: When I was at the MM shelter, I was an absolute doll who was precious, friendly, sweet, and happy! I was also wonderful for my bath, brushing, and even a little hair-dryer time. I had the cutest happy, bouncy walk that is sure to make you smile! I enjoyed sitting with them on the bench out front and watching all the people go by. In my foster home, I'm showing everyone that I'm a sweet girl who loves being in the same room as my people, although I'm also quite independent. I think I just like knowing someone is nearby—even if I don't necessarily need you to entertain me! I can be cuddly, but I like my cuddles on my terms, thank you very much. I do have a bit of a stubborn streak, and while I'm hard of hearing, I can hear louder sounds, so a clap or talking loudly will usually get my attention. I can also be a little “grumpy” first thing in the morning or at bedtime—perhaps I'm simply not a morning dog, or maybe I take my beauty sleep very seriously! Once I'm up and about, though, I'm back to being my lovable self. /Energy level: 3-5.      • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I seem to know the hand signal for 'come', and Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so we can do some training together if you like. / My crate manners were good at the shelter. I sleep nicely at the foot of the bed in my foster home and so far, one of my foster parents has been home with me, so they haven't crated me during the day. I do sleep a lot, so they think I'd be fine in a crate, after the first few minutes. / My potty manners are improving on a very frequent take-out schedule, so I'll need a stay-at-home family member who can take me out frequently. Ask how this is coming along.    • LIKES/DISLIKES: I'm happiest when I'm simply relaxing with my people. I enjoy being with both of my foster parents, getting lots of gentle pets, and exploring while I sniff around and check things out. Treats and peanut butter are yummy, and my foster puts my pill in peanut butter. I'm also perfectly content to spend plenty of time sleeping or resting nearby. I don't need a lot of excitement to be happy—I just enjoy having someone around to keep me company, and I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we like doing together in our new home! / I'm not a fan of fast movements, and because I'm hard of hearing, I can startle if someone approaches me too quickly. I'm not particularly interested in toys, and I'm not a big fan of spending lots of time outdoors except for short walks where I can take my time sniffing and exploring. And like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I needed a good dental cleaning when I arrived, and MM has done that for me. I have dry eyes and need cyclosporin drops twice a day. I comply with these (though I don't love them) when I'm wrapped in a little blanket and held by one person and another person drops the eye drops in my eyes. I'm also on an over-the-counter joint supplement that is good for all senior dogs.  I'm a wonderful little dog looking for a great family that will be home a lot and will take great care of me. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.  October 9, 2026, 8:54 pm

Story
My dog is 12 years old will be 13 in November. She is a sweetheart and loves to get some rubs. She doesnt bark or make any noise for that matter since Ive had her. I have had her for 11 years and over the years unfortunately she went blind. She doesn’t go on walks because she doesn’t like leashes, I let her walk around by herself in my yard. She needs more attention now that she is getting older and takes a little longer with going to the bathroom. She is potty trained and sleeps in bed with me but I just dont have time to watch her as much as needed anymore.

Story
Belle wasn't always Belle. We originally named her Nikki when someone abandoned this tiny 9.5-pound Shih Tzu overnight on our property... in a cat carrier. She was terrified, standing in urine, and so severely matted that it took eight hours, with two people working together, to remove the mats from her legs, belly, face, ears, and back. It was one of the worst cases of neglect we've seen in such a little dog. But they could have done far worse things than dropping her off on our property, so there's that! Once the mats were gone and she had a couple of much-needed spa days, everything changed. She began trusting people, stole all of our hearts, and officially became a Canine CellMates dog when her stray hold ended. Today, Belle is settling into Beyond The Bars beautifully. She may have started out shy, but she's already decided her handler—and a few of the other participants—are pretty wonderful. Watching her confidence grow has been such a joy.

Story
McGuinness was found as a stray and hit the jackpot when he safely made his way to rescue. This wispy wooly fluff ball may or may not have any dachshund lineage - who can tell under all that floof?!? Whatever breed he is, this boy is one fabulous dog. He is friendly and has mastered house training. This little guy is a pro at meeting people and small dogs. He prefers a mellow household so best in home without young children but ok with over 10 yrs. Walks well on leash and enjoys a quiet neighborhood stroll. When he first came to DREAM he was nervous when his foster dad would leave but now is calm when sees grabbing keys and other exiting rituals. He is always up going with and can be an escape artist zipping right past you at the door. Because of this, a barrier at the door or a fence is a must. Not a fan of being created or being left for long periods, expresses great joy when his people return. Recommend day care for longer outings and he has passed testing for professional pack dog day care. This little guy is always happy, with his tail wagging and gives kisses freely. He is playful, silly, smart, agile, expressive, and absolutely leaps when excited. He’s shows no interest in feline companions and basically is indifferent to cats. McGuinness is definitely a pack dog and will be most comfortable with a calm companion dog. He is a card carrying Velcro dog and positions himself to be in eye shot of his human. McGuinness is looking for: •home with a fence or adopter who will manage the door with a fence/barrier •can be companion for other small dog •person who is always up for cuddles •person who will commit to taking him for walks and will continue his training on waiting before darting out the door •patient person who spends time at home with time to help Mr MG feel comfortable being left alone •a person to share cuddles and playtime If you are interested in adopting McGuinness, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. McGuinness's adoption fee is $500. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. McGuinness will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed. Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit. DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia. Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back. Follow us on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter
