Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

All our dogs are spayed/neutered and fully vetted. Senior dogs receive extra bloodwork and we try to do dental cleanings on any dogs that need them. Most of the dogs in our care are crate-trained and cat tested. We test with kids when we can. Our process can seem involved and long - we appreciate your patience. Adopting a dog is not like buying a candy bar in the checkout lane; it should never be a last-minute decision or one that is not fully thought out. ADOPT MEHoney Bun, got her name because her foster mom says she is just so Sweet. Honey Bun has a sad beginning story. She came from an abusive situation. The person who rescued her went to great lengths to get her away from the abuser. However she has been fully checked out by the vet including xrays and bloodwork and is actually in great health and no signs of any broken bones past or present. Honey Bun as you can see has more terrier in her than beagle, but the vet did agree she does see some hound in her. Fully grown she will be around 45lbs. She is somewhere between 8 months and a year. Honey is snuggly, loving and gets along with other dogs, . She is shy around strangers, but that could be that she is still decompressing from her previous situation. Like what you see? Fill out our online application! We work on a first received, first approved, first adopted basis. We definitely encourage people who are interested in adopting, even if they haven't found the right dog yet, to fill out an application. Our process can take as long as two weeks (we work day jobs!) so having an already approved application speeds things up considerably when you see a dog that catches your eye. July 14, 2024, 6:23 pm

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi there! I'm Lala, a 3-year-old Terrier/American Pit Bull mix, and I'm looking for my forever home! Let me tell you a little about myself.I'm a smart girl who loves the sniffs of the nature trail. Exploring the outdoors is one of my favorite things to do! I've already mastered some cool tricks like sit, lie down, find it, and leave it. Treats are my absolute favorite, and I'm very trainable with a little snack motivation.I'm still working on my leash training. I'm doing well, but sometimes I get so excited that I can't help but pull a bit. It's something I'm getting better at with practice.When it comes to other dogs and cats, I prefer to be the only furry friend in the house. I'd also do best in a home without young children. I can be a bit stoic when meeting new people, but I'm generally friendly and enjoy pets and scratches from strangers once I warm up to them.My energy level is moderate. I can get the zoomies and would love a yard to run around in or an active family who will take me out for walks, hikes, and other fun outdoor activities. But don't worry, I also have a cuddly side and would love to hop into your lap and just relax with you.I'm full of love and affection, and I adore plushie toys. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's both active and affectionate, I might just be the perfect match for you.PSI qualify for Foster First, which means you can foster me for 14 days prior to adoption to ensure I'm the perfect fit for your family!

Hi, I'm Norma!I'm a little nervous here in the shelter and I could really use your help. I am very sweet, but it may take a little time for me to come out of my shell.

I don't have any known history with other dogs, cats or children, so if you have a dog(s) and/or children, I would love to meet them. What I need now is someone to cuddle with and call my own.

Male, Young

Marietta, GA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Miso is the goodest boy that’s why with a heavy heart I must rehome him. After having a baby of my own I don’t have the time I once did for him and he deserves better. I rescued him 3 years ago from an abusive owner as a puppy but as a result he can be a bit skittish around men. He’s very gentle with any animals smaller than him we’ve had Guinea pigs and cats/kittens and he was always curious and protective of them the same can be said for small children and babies. He has severe separation anxiety and will shake when he thinks he’s being left behind; he is also allergic to chicken/chicken broth & bouillon but eggs are okay. I’m looking for someone who has the time to play with him and spoil him as he once was, take him on all your adventures, and give him all the love you have and I promise he will love you tenfold! He still needs a bit of training but he knows sit, lay down stay/wait, “gentle” when taking food or treats, hugs, and my favorite “Azkaban” *and cage* when it’s cage time!

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Please contact Meghan (Megk.moore91@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. This is Toad, aka Feldspar! He is a sweet, cuddly lovebug looking for his furever home. We believe Feldspar/Toad to be no more than two years old. He is super playful and high energy. He can run 3 miles in 21 minutes! He gets along great with other dogs, especially those who have high energy like him and like to wrestle and play rough. He can sit, lay down and high-five (his personal favorite). He can also “sit and wait” for his meals or to be let out of his crate. Toad is SUPER food motivated and eager to please, so he is very trainable. As food motivated as he is, he has zero resource guarding. He doesn't even resource guard his toys and those are his second favorite thing in life right behind cuddles. We believe he would do best in a child free home, because he is younger and high energy, or a home with older kids who are good with dogs. He has not been tested with cats, but he does have a high prey drive so cat free would be best. If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out! Age: 2 years Weight: 60 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative Temperament: Good with older respectful kids and other dogs. Training: Most likely house-trained, is neat in her kennel. For questions, please email aimiablepetcare@aol.com To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. July 26, 2024, 11:57 am

Dobbins

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Adult

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Great, easy going couch/TV buddy Dobbins is a low-energy couch potato and would be perfect for a single person or a couple who is low-key (I’m thinking recently retired and not too active). He loves to cuddle and loves affection. He is strong on-leash and is learning not to pull, so someone who has had a pittie or large dog before would be ideal. He will cry a little when you leave, but is completely house trained and non-destructive. I’ve had to go into the office for work and he has been wonderful at home, alone. Dobbins is a smarty pants! He is very treat motivated and loves praise and people. He knows: sit, paw, down, stay and touch. He will nudge your hands and arms if you stop petting him to remind you he would like pets, please. Dobbins had not great experiences with other dogs in the past and will need to be an only pet, but he loves so much and so hard, you won’t need another. He is a bit of a klutz, so kids 14 and up would be ideal. Video, loose leash training: https://youtu.be/rY4o2iKL1-w Age: 4 years Weight: 59 lb Temperament: Good with older sturdy kids because of his size, prefers to be only pet. Training: House trained, knows commands sit, down, stay, touch and paw Vetting: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, HW negative For questions, please email: http://allikay4@gmail.com &#226&#128&#139 To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review.

Female, Young

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jojo is a cuddle bug who loves her humans. She loves playing with other dogs at day care. She's super smart and learns new commands really fast. She has a lot of energy and needs a good long walk or a play in the yard regularly. Jojo would be best as an only dog in her home but she enjoys other dogs at day camp. An experienced owner might be able to properly integrate her with another young bully. Jojo knows sit, down and wait. She's working on place. She walks well on the leash but has leash reactivity with some dogs. If she's told "wait" she waits patiently before going out of the door. Jojo is GREAT in the car and doesn't have any fear of storms or fireworks. We're working on muzzle training now and Jojo is doing really well. Age: 1.5 years Weight: 40 lbs Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, HW negative. Temperament: good with older sturdy kids, prefers to be the only pet in the home, fine with dogs outside home . Training: House-trained, crate-trained but not a fan.

Rizzo

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Rizzo is a high energy and playful pup. He’s a ball of energy that loves his people. He’s very smart and obedient. He was rescued from a chained situation where he broke free and was found running in traffic in Tucker. He does have a scar on his neck, most likely from being chained. He was taken to the shelter where he developed pneumonia. A foster brought him home to in November to help him recover. The vet gave him a 50/50 chance of survival. He's a fighter and he did survive. Now he deserves a wonderful home. He is 100% American Staffordshire Terrier but he is small like a pocket pittie. Rizzo can be playful and mouthy like a puppy. He needs a patient owner willing to work with his puppy behaviors and continue training. He also has a medical condition known as a collapsing trachea. For this reason, Rizzo can't take long walks on a leash even with a harness. He's nervous around new people but only in the home. He can be protective of his people in the house but is great outside of the home meeting new people. He loves to play in the yard. He loves having lots of toys to squeak and play with and he loves having unlimited supplies of cow ears and bully sticks. He has no resource guarding issues and he isn’t destructive in any way. He is great with dogs and cats and would love to live with another dog with a similar play style. He does need a fenced yard to run around in so he can get his energy out. He can’t be outside for long periods of time in the Summer due to his collapsed trachea. Housebroken, but he needs to go outside first thing in the morning before you even brush your teeth. Age: 2 years Weight: 46 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative and up to date on vaccines Temperament: good with bigger kids and other dogs. Training: House trained and knows how to use pee pads.
