Story
One of the Newton County Animal Shelter advocates was at the shelter when "Mandy" was brought in as an owner surrender. Due to the shelter already being over capacity this sweet baby became urgent the moment that she was surrendered! We stepped in and rescued this sweet girl. We know that she is very dog friendly 🐶🐾🐶 but we aren't sure of cats just yet. She loves all people, big and little. She is a little shy when you first meet her, than she almost immediately warms up within just a few minutes and then becomes the most affectionate, lapdog and coach potato in the world. She is still so young, estimated to be between 2-3years old - so she is beyond all the puppy stages but still has so much life, and love to give!

Story
It’s hard to write this, but we want to do what’s best for Rocko. Rocko came into our lives as a puppy after a neighbor found him wandering alone on Frog Road. He got a clean bill of health from the vet, and from that moment, he’s been family. He’s about a year and a half old now - playful, loyal, and full of love. His bark might fool you, but trust me, he’s a big softie at heart. He knows sit, stay, lay down, and paw, and with a little time he’ll pick up even more. This is not a decision we’ve made lightly. Life has gotten so busy that we just can’t give Rocko the time, attention, and energy he truly deserves. He deserves a home where he can thrive - where he’ll be loved, played with, and part of the daily rhythm of life. Because we want to make sure Rocko goes to a home that’s truly ready for the responsibility, there will be a small rehoming fee. This is just to help ensure he’s going to someone serious and prepared to love him like family.

Story
Courtesy Post: This is not a Street Paws animal, but we are assisting a family in placing their pet. Meet Ringo — as cute as can be! This energetic little guy is full of puppy spirit and loves to stay active and playful. But don’t let that fool you—Ringo will always pause and sit still for a treat! Food is definitely his #1 love language as a growing boy, but physical affection comes in a close second. He adores kisses and hugs and will gladly soak up as much love as you can give. Ringo is a happy, bouncy, loving boy who learns quickly and is sure to become a wonderfully sweet and loyal companion. He’s a volunteer favorite at adoption events, and we just can’t understand how he hasn’t found his forever home yet!

Story
I found the pit at take five car wash Clayton County tied to a pallet scene good dog needs a good home she is about 2 years old. She seems to be a one animal pet because she likes all of the attention. Looking for someone to love her and care for her and play because she likes to Chase balls. She loves the outside and she walks on a leash unless you have a fenced in yard she is good for a person who needs attention and assistance because she clings to you all day long. As far as adjectives to describe her she's playful loves to dance listen to music lovable loves to wrestle and and most of all she loved to cuddle and for you to rub her all day and if you remove your hand she puts it back on her head.
