Story
This sweet girl, Merida, was saved with 1 hour left before she was euthanized at Fulton County shelter. She was overbred, neglected, underloved, emaciated and left abandoned after she was no longer "useful" for breeding. Fulton County Animal Shelter had her for only 10 days and they misdiagnosed her with diabetes and heartworms, in addition to stating she was dog reactive so that pretty much doomed her and nobody was coming to her rescue so we just had to. We just couldn't let her die there after suffering in such a horrible life. She just needed more time and to be given a decent chance. Even despite all she endured, she is so sweet, smart and loving. She listens really well and would be such a great companion for the right people. She deserves to be in a loving home with no cats as the only baby where she can be spoiled rotten or with another buddy her size that she can play with. She should have a good life especially after all she's been through.

Story
Meet Proud Mary, a mature female bully mix. We suspect Mary is staffordshire terrier / bull terrier mix because of her large rabbit ears. After months in a Georgia shelter, Proud Mary was just two days from euthanasia when our rescue agreed to take her, and this silly loving girl has been lounging in comfort ever since. Mary is a lap dog at heart and lives for an invite up onto the couch and a belly rub. Mary does not bark excessively inside the home though she will ‘talk’ to you when she wants attention. She loves morning walks, snacks and rolling in the grass. Mary would do best in a fenced yard or with an owner committed to daily walks though at 8 years old they don’t need to be very long. Mary is ‘barrier’ reactive (barking) and would not enjoy dog park visits. While Mary loves kids, we do not recommend her for a household with small children as she may easily knock them over. The BasicsAge: 8 yrsWeight: 55 lbsSpayed/Neutered: YesMicrochipped: YesVaccines Up-to-Date: YesOn Heartworm Prevention: YesHouse-Trained: Yes (perfect)Crate-Trained: YesLeash Skills: Needs work when excitedMedical: Clean bill of health from vet.
