Story
Meet Turnip! This sweet, cuddly pup came into our program recently when a shelter needed help finding placement. We set up a foster and took him into our rescue program right away! Turnip is a little boy, about 4 months of age, and as sweet as can be. He loves people, and does well with other dogs, as well as cats! Turnip would do great in just about any home. If you are interested in making this boy a part of your family, please email us at adoptions@pawprojectofgeorgia.org or send an inquiry in on him! Turnip cannot wait to go home with you!

Story
Due to an upcoming move and the sale of our home, we urgently need a foster placement for this dog. We have been helping care for them for several years after our daughter was unable to do so because of personal circumstances. We’ve done everything we can, but time has run out and we need help as soon as possible. Shanka (roughly 4 yrs old and 25lbs) is alert and curious, with a bright personality and an athletic build. He enjoys being aware of his surroundings and does well with routine and gentle guidance. He would thrive in a home that can offer stability, daily movement, and reassurance. Shanka deserves stability and kindness, and fostering him would give him chance to land safely while a permanent solution is found. If you can help, even temporarily, it would mean the world to them—and to us. Love, Jen and Phil

Story
Meet Peanut Peanut is a cute little dog with a BIG personality. Peanut was recently returned to us due to his high energy and willful ways. He did great in a home, he loved his people and they love him, but Peanut can be a bit challenging. He needs to be able to run and play and expend his limitless energy. For one so small, this boy needs to be exercised or else he gets bored. And we all know a bored pup is never well-behaved lol! Peanut looks like an Australian cattle dog or kelpie mix, but it’s hard to know without a DNA test. He is adorable and has a cuddly side, but he’s also 29 lbs. of energy, smarts and will. You can see the intelligence in his eyes. They sparkle and dance with anticipation of something fun to do. We stress this because he is so cute, people can’t imagine that he needs so much exercise or understand how willful he can be. Even his foster dad says, the boy is an energizer bunny and is happier when he’s run it out. Peanut likes playing with other dogs. Another equally active dog in the home would be good. He does well with cats too, especially cats that stand their ground. Peanut might be best in a house with no children because he has had episodes of food guarding. He would do best with experienced dog owners, especially those who know the cattle dog breeds. Peanut has the ability to challenge and push boundaries. He’d do best with a person who has a strong, steady and consistent approach and presence to guide him. Peanut might even make for a great agility dog, an activity that works his mind and athletic abilities, while bonding him to his person. He’d be a great trail dog. Peanut isn’t a big barker. He knows how to live in a house. He likes his chew toys. He walks well on a leash. Peanut will be a great companion for someone who is looking for an energetic, smart, agile, handsome, and eager to go pup. BUT if you are thinking about Peanut because he looks cute and cuddly, this is not the dog for you. Only experienced dog owners should apply. That said, we think he has tremendous potential to be the dog of a lifetime with the right kind of guidance and training. If interested in welcoming Peanut to your heart and home, please submit an application online at: www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org. Please email our shelter (smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net) or call our shelter at 706-865-4135 and leave a message to make sure we received your application. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out-of-state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship, nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals. Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually operates at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.

Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

Story
Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ##2498991##

Story
Sweet dog who deserves a good home where she can be out in a yard to play. Unfortunately, my busy schedule does not allow her to do that while also in the process of moving. She needs to be in a home that can give her the proper time and attention. She is a rescue from Lubbock, TX which makes her a beautiful West Texas dog and she's tough like it! She loves pets and attention and will bring you so much joy with her clumsiness. She is a loving dog who deserves the opportunity to have the attention given to her as much as she will give to you! She is up to date on vaccines. She is registered at both the Flowery Branch and Gainesville animal clinics. She will come with her own crate, harness, and all the dog food that she has left.
