Story
Meet Olly!  We picked the name OLLY after Olly Murs who has the happiest song “Dance with me tonight!” It sure suits this precious soul - despite what he’s already gone through in the year or so of his life. Olly has touched our hearts already and we KNOW that whoever he meets will be touched by him as well. He’s the true epitome of the gifts dogs give us. They live in the moment and FORGIVE. Whoever decided to chop off the ears of this sweet boy must have been filled with such hatred and hurt - but Olly has moved past that and just wants to love and play with his dog buddies. Olly will continue to heal - but we are looking for a foster or forever home to give him the tlc he needs right now. Olly truly is the sweetest boy - great with other dogs and loves people!  If you are interested in adopting Olly and helping him fill the rest of his life with love and happiness, email adrienne@rescuemega.org or fill out an adoption application on our website- www.rmgdogs.org ##1459803##

Story
Meet Mack! This big love of a boy had been seen wandering rural Georgia for quite some time before he was brought into animal control by a Good Samaritan. Gentle and loving, he quickly became a volunteer favorite! Mack might look like a serious guy, but he is a party animal at heart! He is crate and house trained and walks great on leash! His favorite thing to do is stare at his foster mom ( almost like he is staring into her soul) until she gives in and pets him - It's all about the love and affection for Mack! He would love to have his very own person all to himself to go on walks and car rides and just snuggle up by the fire. Mack is great with other dogs but he loves people so much he would probably be just as happy as an only dog too.  Interested in adopting?

Story
  Meet Rooster! Rooster is one of a family of dogs rescued Christmas Eve after living a life of neglect, chained outside of an abandoned trailer in a notoriously rough area   Rooster is about 7-8 yrs old and great with other dogs! Of course he’s heartworm positive - that’s no surprise given where he came from. We were told by the kind woman who helped save this little family that Rooster had been hit by a car and it was obvious from looking at him that he had a hip/pelvis injury. We took him for x-rays today fully anticipating him needing an FHO - an orthopedic surgery we are all too familiar with. The x-rays did show extensive damage to one of his femoral necks and also pelvis but not the type of damage we were expecting - it looked like something was eating away at the bone. The only way to know for sure what was going on was to do an FHO surgery and send off a portion of the bone for biopsy. Thankfully, the biopsy came back completely normal and Rooster has been given a clean bill of health in regards to his leg. He still needs to complete heartworm treatment but all medications for that are provided by RMG Rooster is the absolute sweetest boy who deserves nothing but the best for the second half of his journey through life! So what do you say? Can you find it in your heart to show Rooster every wonderful thing life has to offer??

Story
Meet Jada!  Jada is one half of an inseparable pair couldn’t make your heart smile anymore …. Meet Jada and Bella, a big dog, little kitty combo that we rescued together. Their owner fell into a bad situation and had to move, with no place they could go. Both needed some veterinary care and tlc ….. but we said yes because foster mom Lauren quickly stepped up to help. As you can see by the pictures, they are pretty much always touching. So imagine how hard it was for big Jada the day Bella was spayed and they were separated!  Jada is five years old and a terrier mix and Bella is close to a year old. Before Bella became her bff, Jada loved on other kitties as well. Foster mom Lauren says she plays bunny hop with a neighborhood feral that follows them on walks. This duo is the perfect combo for a home or apt., as all they wanna do is cuddle all day on the couch. Jada is completely housebroken and will NOT have an accident. If you’d like more info on this precious pair, contact adrienne@rescuemega.org and please share so we can find them a forever home together asap! ##1675428##

We adopted him from the humane society and have had for about 2 years. He is 3 years old. Ghost is very rowdy and he’s not trained, but he’s good with kids and doesn’t bite. He loves to go swimming and just to run. The home we are looking for is someone who is able to give him lots of love and time to do all the things he loves.

Max is a beautiful, well behaved rescue pit, from a local shelter. He is very affectionate and LOVES his belly rubs! He is into all things outdoors, and would be a perfect fit for someone who can keep up with his need for lots of activities. He will be 2 years old in December. I have had him for almost 4 months, but I am no longer able to care for him in the way that he needs, due to an unexpected job loss.

Story
Meet Bandit, my 7-year-old purebred boxer. I have been with him since his birth, and he is the son of his late father who I also owned. Bandit has always had a companion, be it a fellow dog or a human at home. He is a lovable, laid-back dog that adores children and is extremely well-mannered. Bandit walks well on a leash, is housebroken, and is crate-trained. He loves having company, but things have been tough since I moved to an apartment, and he's been experiencing separation anxiety. Unfortunately, he's been howling, whining, and barking, causing my neighbors to complain. Bandit is truly a great dog who craves attention and companionship.

Story
Dixon is a boxer mix who turned 8 years old this year. He was adopted from the shelter 5 years ago after being found during a hurricane. He’s shy at first but warns up quickly once he’s comfortable in his surroundings. His ideal new home would be a family who can spend quality time with him and space for him play. He likes to be somewhat active, so one good long walk or play time is all his heart desires.

Story
Camilla showed up in the neighborhood at about 8 weeks old. She is and has been cheerful , friendly, fearless, curious and very healthy. She loves to play active games, especially "rake" which involves a childs plastic rake and is a lot like field hockey with mid-air pirouettes. She loves a good bone She likes to cuddle on the couch or amiably joins us evenings in the den in her crate/lamp table. She loves people food especially raw carrots and gingersnaps. She will gladly rinse your ice cream bowl. She loves to be brushed. She has not interacted much with strangers or other dogs, but seems eager to greet them without any hostility. She is just too much dog for an elderly person with my health.
