Story
Zoomer is incredibly handsome and super smart. He's able to master new skills quickly and curious about the world around him. Zoomer LOVES car rides and walks. He lives life full speed ahead, so he would do best with an active adopter who is looking for an adventure buddy. He’s down for any adventure with you, from hiking and camping to road trips. He just wants to be included and feel like he belongs. Zoomer recently enjoyed a short 5-day break in a temporary foster home, and he aced it. While we would usually describe Zoomer as high-energy (hence his name), his foster described him as easygoing and settled in her home. Sometimes dogs who are amped up in the shelter become completely relaxed in a home, and this seems to be the case with Zoomer. He was the perfect guest! They described him as “absolutely delightful” and we have to agree. In the home, he was cuddly and affectionate, and transitioned quickly into his new routine. They described his energy as low-key and sweet. Once Zoomer gets to know you, he’s all about the snuggles. He loves back and chest scratches and will reward you with little happy grunts. Ultimately, Zoomer was excited to be the center of attention. Zoomer is fully housetrained and knows quite a few tricks. He sleeps well through the night in his bed and waits patiently to be let out in the morning. He’s perfectly happy with a quick jaunt around the backyard, a roll in the grass, and checking on the neighborhood through the fence. Zoomer isn’t high-maintenance, and, more than anything, wants to be your buddy. If you’re looking for a silly, happy, loving companion, Zoomer would love to meet you. He would do best in an adult home without other pets. Apply to meet him today!

Story
Sutra is friendly and loves giving hugs. She is 5 years old and full of energy. She loves taking morning or evening walks, and enjoys ice water, especially on hot days. Sutra currently spends a lot of time in the house alone. She does not tear furniture and prefers a cold, bare floor to a pet bed. She is the only pet, but she gets along great with my daughter's cat when she visits. She enjoys spending time at the dog park and plays well with the other dogs. My reason for rehoming Sutra is due to my work schedule, which has me traveling out of the country for weeks at a time. Please respond only if you are able to seriously consider her as a new family member. The rehome fee is secondary to finding a suitable placement for Sutra. I am willing to negotiate with the rehome fee for the right fit.

Story
Balto is a 5 year old male Akita mix and an absolutely stunning boy. His gorgeous, fluffy coat practically glows in the sunshine - and it’s so comforting to pet his super-soft fur! He walks well on a leash and almost prances while out and about … yes, he definitely knows that he’s handsome! Balto enjoys going on walks and likes running along the fence line with other dogs in adjacent play areas. Most of all, he truly loves spending time with his human friends and is happy to do whatever you have in mind, whether that’s a neighborhood stroll or curling up on the couch for movie night. While Balto adores people, he has been dog-selective at the shelter, so a Meet and Greet would be needed if other dogs live in your home. But don’t worry - Balto has a big heart and more than enough love to give all on his own. Come meet this sweet boy soon, and give Balto the loving home he deserves! The adoption fee covers the following: spay or neuter surgery; one-year rabies vaccine; feline or canine distemper vaccine; heartworm test (dogs) or combo (fiv/felv) test (cats); deworming; and microchip. Carroll County Animal Shelter is located at 251 Automation Drive in Carrollton GA. Phone: 770-214-3590. The hours of operation are: Monday through Wednesday 12:30 pm till 4:30 pm; Thursday 12:30 pm till 6:00 pm; Friday 12:30 pm till 4:30 pm; Saturday 9:00 am till 4:00 pm. The Carroll County Animal Shelter will be closed the last Friday of every month for deep cleaning, staff training, and animal enrichment.June 12, 2026, 10:07 pm

Story
Forrest – ID #18616 – Kennel #46 Arrived April 29th as a stray – German Shepherd/Akita Mix – Tan & Black – Male – 10 years old – 81 lbs – Up to date on vaccines – Heartworm negative Meet Forrest — a magnificent and deeply soulful tan and black German Shepherd and Akita mix with the warmest amber eyes and a gentle, dignified presence that is simply impossible not to fall in love with. This sweet old soul was found as a stray on April 29th with no one to come forward for him, and at 10 years old this extraordinary boy now waits in Kennel #46 for someone to give him the warm and loving home he so deeply deserves for whatever time he has left. Forrest knows sit, stay, down, and shake — four commands that speak volumes about the love and time someone once invested in him. He clearly had a person who cared for him deeply, and yet here he is, alone and waiting. That loyalty and training he carries with him every single day is a testament to the incredible dog he is and has always been, and he deserves a family who will honor that. At 10 years old Forrest is a senior gentleman who has lived a whole lifetime of quiet devotion, and every single remaining day of his golden years deserves to be spent in a soft and peaceful home with someone who will cherish every moment with him. He is heartworm negative and up to date on all of his vaccines — and due to his age he will not be neutered prior to adoption, meaning he is ready to go home right away to the person who chooses him. Senior dogs like Forrest are the most heartbreakingly overlooked animals in shelters, and yet those who open their hearts to a senior will tell you it is one of the most profoundly meaningful and deeply rewarding experiences of their lives. If you have room in your heart and your home for this magnificent old soul, please come meet Forrest in Kennel #46. He has so much love and dignity still to give — all he needs is someone to give him the chance to give it. 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.

Story
Meet Blu, our beautiful AKC registered Siberian Husky with the most striking blue eyes and the sweetest personality. We brought Blu home when he was just 10 weeks old, and he has been such a loving part of our family ever since. He is now a year and a half old and has grown into a playful, affectionate, and energetic dog who absolutely loves being around people, especially children. Blu does very well with our kids and gets along great with other pets too. Making the decision to rehome him has been incredibly hard for us. With demanding work schedules, busy sports activities for our children, and frequent travel, we unfortunately can’t give Blu the time, attention, and active lifestyle he truly deserves. We want him to have a family that can fully enjoy him and give him the love, consistency, and engagement that Huskies thrive on. He would do best in a loving home that understands the Husky breed and has the time and space for an active dog.
