Story
Milo is a very sweet, gentle, loving, loyal, energetic, and intelligent dog. He has a great personality and loves any and all attention. Milo has been around several cats, usually with no problems. If the cat does not like dogs then it will not be a good fit. He is also great around children. Two of my favorite qualities of his is that he loves to cuddle and really really loves toys! The reason I have to give him up is that I am not able to care for him the way he deserves. I initially was going to leave him with a family member but unfortunately her dog became aggressive with Milo over a toy. From that point on Milo can be unpredictable around other dogs and cats. Milo knows all the basic commands and learns quickly. An experienced dog owner would be the best fit for Milo. He will need consistent exercise and training. I recommend he be the only dog.

Story
🐾 Penny got a taste of home, and she LOVED it. 🐾After 80 days at MOAS, Penny spent a few days in a temporary foster home, and here’s what her foster mom had to say 💕"Penny is about a year old and is an incredibly affectionate, loving girl who is happiest when she’s cuddling close to her people. She’s a solid, soft-furred pup who's basically built for hugs. She’s playful and energetic, especially with other dogs...she had a blast playing with the resident dog! Chewy toys, rolling onto her back, and soaking up attention are some of her favorite things.🤗When other dogs weren’t around, Penny showed she can settle and enjoy calmer moments, too. She knows basic commands like sit and no and is eager to learn more. Potty training and crate training are still works in progress, but with consistency and patience, she has all the tools to succeed in a home environment.Overall, Penny is a sweet, happy, loving dog who truly deserves a family of her own. She did so well outside the shelter. Now she just needs someone willing to give her the time, guidance, and love she’s been waiting for."Penny is a FUN girl who will keep you active and snuggle with you when the day is done. We need to get her out asap. She is an urgent case.💛 Ready to meet Penny or learn more about adopting or fostering?Visit Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter during our open hours of Wednesday-Saturday, 12-5pm or Sunday, 12-4pm and ask to meet her. Let’s get Penny out of the shelter and into the home she deserves. 🐶💛Penny is 1 year old, 55 pounds. Joined us at MOAS on 11/19Who wouldn’t want this thick chocolate brown pibble that you can squeeze endlessly? Penny is a LOVER. She loves hugs and affection. She also loves rolling around on her back. While she may come on strong at first, that energy wears off over time and I truly think she’ll be a couch snuggler extraordinaire once she’s in a home. She’s been wonderful with the dogs she’s been tested with, and was very submissively playful with a dominant male. She got to meet a young kid today and was extremely gentle, even when taking treats out of his hand. The only thing that’s a “no no” for her is a home with cats because she does like to chase!Please call the shelter at (706) 795-2868 to schedule a meet and greet.Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter is a non-profit shelter serving over 720 square miles.
