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
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
Hi I was given Miley by a close friend. She has been with me since 02/14/2025. She’s 11 months old and feisty. She has personality and a sense of humor. She is very vocal and likes to play. She is always hungry even though she is small. She is the runt of her litter. I love Miley like my child and I hope anyone interested in her are planning to do the same. I moved from a house to an apartment who has pet exemptions in place. She does need to be trained and she is a Velcro dog. She loves to be around people and to cuddle.

Story
[can hold her until adopted-only lets me put 2 weeks) Dottie (short for Dottiedopealicious) is from an unexpected litter from a rescue. I took her mom in not knowing she was pregnant and then she was too far along to rehome. Thanks to someone who took in a pup and did a DNA test, I know she is Pitbull and Blue Heeler. Dottie is 5 months old (born first week in August, 2025) and has 3 other siblings who I also need to find homes for. Blue Heelers are working dogs and have a TON of energy to release. She needs to go to a home with a lot of space and an active family. She loves to play. She is hot and cold with her litter mates so not certain if she will get along well with other dogs but sure she can be trained. She definitely herds so maybe not. The pit in her makes her lovey at times but not a cuddler - just loves to play. Still, she's sweet. I cannot afford a vet at this time so there are no shots or prescribed dewormer. I have been going holistic and so far so good.
