Story
Meet Benji! Benji – the 18-pound heart thief you didn’t know you needed.   This little guy doesn’t just love… he loves with all of his thumper. Benji is about a year old and packed full of playful energy, affection, and just enough sass to keep life interesting.   He’s the tug-of-war champion, and professional snuggler after he’s played himself into a nap. He’s great on a leash, completely potty trained, and doesn’t chew your stuff — unless your stuff is a squeaky toy, then all bets are off.  Benji is picky about his crowd — no big dogs or cats for this guy — but he LOVES other small dogs and all humans willing to give him snacks, scratches, or a warm lap. He will absolutely steal your covers and your heart.   If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Benji’s your guy. Just be prepared… you’ll never sleep with the covers again.   About Benji:   1 year old Neutered Heartworm negative Fully vaccinated Housebroken Sleeps like an angel in his kennel Always a step behind you—your shadow in dog form Mouthy when playing, but we’re working on manners. He's playing and. It being aggressive.  Cuddle-tested, nap-approved - older children would be best since he's still a puppy.  Is he Hypoallergenic? We haven't noticed any shedding   How big will he get? He's full grown and 18lbs     Training? He would do great as a couch potato or long walks and dinner      He’s looking for a home that will love his snuggles as much as he loves giving them. A home that will give him lots of exercise and let him play with all the toys!   What's included in his adoption fee?  His adoption fee is $350 and includes each animal being current on age appropriate vaccinations including DHPPL, bordetella, influenza, rabies, and boosters when appropriate. De-wormed for any internal parasites (round worms, hook worms, tape worms and whipworms), spayed/neutered and micro-chipped. Each of our dogs also receive flea and heartworm medication every month.   We look to place our dogs in homes where they are loved, allowed on furniture and treated like family so please do not apply if you are looking for an "outside dog" or if you have any dogs who live outside only. He’s a young guy so for the safety of all involved, we want you to consider this when applying to adopt. If you're looking for a dog who will keep you warm at night or snuggled by your side while watching TV, one who will enjoy playing in the yard, or one who’ll enjoy going and doing whatever the day finds, this may be the guy for you. Benji's wish list consists of an inside forever home. A home with lots of toys and pet parents who understand the time commitment that a new puppy requires. We’d like to see Benji have a fenced in yard to be able to roam and play, but that’s not a deal breaker.    If you think you have the perfect home for Benji and have questions, please contact us at HootiesHaven@yahoo.com We do out of state adoptions, but require you to come here and meet the pup if you are approved to adopt. Please feel free to ask for more details. We work hard to place our fosters in the very best homes. Please be aware that we have a lengthy application. Our application weeds out those who are not serious about adopting. When filling out the application, please be sure to include as much information and be as detailed as possible- your explanation could be what sets your application aside from the rest.  Email us at- HootiesHaven@yahoo.com Adoption Link-https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/22197/generic About Benji:   1 year old Neutered Heartworm negative Fully vaccinated Housebroken Sleeps like an angel in his kennel Needs to be able to see his humans (or he’ll whine about it!) Always a step behind you—your shadow in dog form Mouthy when playing, but we’re working on manners ‍ Prefers women, but loves a good guy, too Doesn’t like big dogs or cats (small dog friends might be okay)     Benji is playful, loving, and full of personality. He’d do best in a home where someone is around often—he bonds deeply and loves hard. He’s got the makings of a loyal best friend, just with a mischievous streak that’ll keep you laughing.   Interested in meeting Benji? Message us to learn more or apply to adopt!   ##2471194##

Story
Kane is a very sweet dog that is great with children. He has a lot of energy and is easy to train. He plays well with other dogs and loves to play with his toys. He can be a little mischievous but i think that's because he doesn't have a lot of interaction with people and is left alone for long periods of time during the day with nothing to do. Hes very kind spirited and is not aggressive at all. He just needs a great home with someone who can show him the love and attention he deserves.

Story
5/8/25 I've been in rescue for a long time. Yes I'm older, but I love to lay in the sun outside, and I still love my meals. I so want my own person for the rest of my days. Please consider giving me a place to rest my head. Several years ago a good samaritan in Nashville saved me, I was running down the road. She took me in for 3 years, but couldn't afford to take me to the vet. I developed skin and ear issues so she reached out for someone to take me, and here I am getting the health care I need and responding very well. Yes I'm mostly blind, but I'm a gentle fellow that enjoys being petted. I could spend the day sitting on a lap being company and enjoying a persons company. I'm quiet and I would be fine in a small home with a small fenced yard because I love to sit in the sun and snooze.

Story
I found myself lost in South Atlanta and I must have been out a long time because my fur was so matted. When I was shaved down it could stuff a pillow. I was rushed to the vet for a shave down and they discovered something going on in my abdomen. It turned out I had an infection that was pretty bad. My blood work didn’t look great but surgery was the only option. I’m better now and get along with everyone. I love my toys. I'm ready for my real forever home.

Story
Name: T'Challa Birthday: January 1st, 2018 Age: 7 He is a sweet and generally chill dog with a loving personality once he's comfortable, but he does come with a few challenges that a new owner should be prepared for. He has a history of being aggressive, particularly during grooming and when it comes to guarding his food. He's also had limited interactions with other dogs and was unfortunately attacked by another dog a few years ago, which has understandably shaped some of his current behavior. Despite these challenges, I genuinely believe he has the potential to thrive in the right environment. Ideally a household without children, preferably an adult male who has experience with dog behavior or is willing to invest time and patience into training and building trust. With consistency, attention, and a calm, understanding home, I know he can become the amazing companion he's meant to be. My only goal is to find him a home where he can feel safe, understood, and cared for.
