Story
Meet Macho Mans! Once known only as “#12” and chained for fighting, Macho Man endured a past no dog ever should. Today, this 6–7-year-old, 60-pound survivor has completely rewritten his story — one of resilience, forgiveness, and an unbelievable capacity for love. Despite his tough beginnings, Macho Man is all heart. He’s soft, soulful, and deeply affectionate. He loves kisses and cuddles, leans in for hugs, and will look you straight in the eyes as if he’s telling you just how much he adores you. At night, he proudly wears his jammies to bed and settles in for a cozy, peaceful sleep. Macho enjoys his walks and sniffy adventures, but he’s not a young gun anymore — relaxation is his specialty. He’s calm, polite, and easygoing, happiest curling up beside his person for a quiet night in. He is house-trained, cooperative for baths and nail trims, and brings a steady, grounding presence wherever he goes. Macho is dog-friendly and does well with other dogs, including small dogs. He would thrive most with a larger, submissive, chill female dog who’s happy to coexist — engaging in play occasionally, but mostly enjoying companionship and shared downtime. He’s not demanding or pushy; he simply likes having a buddy around while still valuing his peace. One thing Macho is *very* passionate about? Squeaky toys. LOVES them. Truly lives for them. After everything he’s been through, Macho Man is ready for a home that values gentleness, comfort, and connection — a place where he can finally feel safe, adored, and at ease for the rest of his days. Could that be you? Apply to adopt Macho Man and give this gentle soul the forever he’s earned: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TGD/Dog

Story
Currently located in Chickamauga GA, with transportation available. Rosie came to us back in 2022 as a chained mother to a newborn litter of puppies. Her owner would not sign her over, though he did allow her to come stay with us while she nursed her puppies, and recovered. It was extremely tough though after having her vetted, we legally had to give Rosie back to her owner. Our hearts were broken. Well……fast forward nearly two years and Rosie is back with us! Her owner found himself in a tough situation and he knew we would always be there for Rosie if he ever needed to surrender her. She is having a blast being back “home”, millions of zoomies, hundreds of kisses, ridiculous amounts of toys being self tossed in the air and absolutely inhaling (and even stealing 🤣) the treat jar! We love this girl, and she always has a safe place to call home here, though having her long term means that we do not have the room to help others in need, and she definitely doesn’t get the time and attention that she deserves while here. She has lived on a log chain until she came to us, she is definitely lacking some proper socialization when it comes to mingling with other dogs, so at this time, we do think she needs to be the only pet in the home. While that cuts her adoption odds down to 5%, we are hopeful that the right person sees her listing at the right time and we can make a match! Rosie is absolutely beautiful, funny, and reeks of pure appreciation! Even though she has the right to hate humans, she is resilient and is great with all people including children. Please share her biography and visit our Facebook page for more pictures and videos. This really is an extra special girl!
