Calling all Dobie lovers! 🐾 Meet Cadence, a sweet and loving girl who’s been patiently waiting for her forever family for the past month. She’s ready to find her person and is eager to show just how amazing she is!

This sweetie is believed to be a Doberman mix and is estimated to be about a year and a half old. She’s as sweet as they come—great with other dogs and has the perfect balance of energy for playtime and cuddles. If you're looking for a loyal companion, Cadence just might be your perfect match.

Come meet her at the Forsyth County Pet Resource Center! We’re open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM, and no appointment is needed.

Could she be the one you’ve been waiting for? 💖

Meet Hot Dog! Did you know this sweet pup is only 7 months old and has already spent half of his life at the Pet Resource Center? Despite his time in the shelter, Hot Dog has been amazing with other dogs and is full of playful energy! He can be a bit shy around new people, but that’s understandable—his world has been limited to shelter life. While we do our best to pamper him, it's still a lot for him to take in.

Could you be the one to give him a loving home or even a temporary foster space? Stop by the Pet Resource Center Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM to meet Hot Dog and see if you’re a match!

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Seal! 🌟

Introducing our eighth and final member of the six-month-plus club—Seal! This sweet and cuddly girl currently has a foster but has been searching for her forever family for an entire year.

Seal’s foster reports that she is already crate and house trained, making the transition to her forever home even easier. She’s done great in our doggy playgroups and wouldn’t mind having a canine sibling to share her adventures with. However, Seal has made it clear that she doesn’t like cats—something about them trying to rule the world? She also seems to think all small furry creatures are cats, so her forever family will need to be just humans and dogs!

Estimated to be three years old, Seal weighed 63 pounds at her last check-up. Her perfect day would include playtime with her human or doggy friend, followed by some cozy couch cuddles. She’d be a perfect match for a single woman seeking a reliable companion to help her feel secure. While Seal excels at cuddling, she's also very alert, and her bark has been known to make even the toughest men jump with surprise!

Let’s help Seal find her forever home! If you’re interested in adopting her, please call us at 678-965-7185 so we can arrange a meet and greet!

10/30/2024

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Bumper! 🌟

Introducing our seventh long-term resident—Bumper! This energetic boy came to us six months ago after being “bumped” by a car. Thankfully, some good Samaritans brought him in, and we quickly determined that his head is thicker than the bumper that hit him—he had no injuries!

If you’re looking for a pocket-sized German Shepherd, Bumper is the one for you! He has all the energy and intelligence of a Shepherd, but at half the size! He’d make a fantastic companion for anyone interested in dog sports like Fast CAT and agility. Don’t believe us? Just ask to play ball with him in the big yard—this boy is FAST and agile! If your ideal weekend includes hiking, exploring, or any dog-friendly outdoor adventure, Bumper is the perfect sidekick!

This athletic dude is estimated to be two and a half years old and weighed just 40 pounds at his last check-up. Did we mention he’s a pocket shepherd? While Bumper adores people, he prefers to be the only pet in the home—he’s just not a fan of sharing the spotlight with other dogs or cats.

Let’s help Bumper find his forever home! If you’re interested in adopting or fostering him, please call us at 678-965-7185 or visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM.

10/29/2024

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Scruffy! 🌟

What better day to introduce our sixth long-term resident than on National Cat Day! Meet Scruffy, a sweet girl who came to our shelter after her owner passed away, leaving her and her furry housemates alone until neighbors alerted us. While all of Scruffy’s companions have started their next adventures, she has spent the last six months patiently awaiting her purr-fect adopter.

Scruffy is a senior lady, estimated to be 10.5 years old. Her ideal day involves lounging around and curling up in cozy spots like a warm chair or bed. While she can be a bit shy around new people, she simply needs an adopter who will give her the time and space to acclimate to her new environment. A calm and quiet home with no young kids is essential for her comfort.

Once Scruffy settles in, you’ll discover what a diamond in the rough she truly is. She’ll greet you at the door every day with a cheerful chirp and affectionately rub up against your legs, showing her love and gratitude for your patience.

Let’s help Scruffy find her forever home! If you’re interested in adopting or fostering her, please call us at 678-965-7185 or visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM.

10/28/2024

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Dairy Queen! 🌟

Introducing our fifth long-term resident—Dairy Queen! Just like her name suggests, she’s a sweet treat you won’t want to miss! This lovely girl has been searching for her family for the last seven months and even had a taste of the sweet life with a short-term foster. Unfortunately, due to no fault of her own, she had to return to the shelter, but not before her foster family taught her invaluable skills to help her adjust to a new forever home.

According to her previous foster, Dairy Queen is house and crate trained and absolutely LOVED going on daily walks.

This girl has the perfect amount of energy for a semi-active family and has done well in our doggy playgroups. Plus, Dairy Queen is intelligent and very food motivated, making further training a walk in the park! She is estimated at two and half years old and was 48 pounds at her last check up.

Let’s help Dairy Queen find her forever home! If you’re interested in adopting or fostering her, please call us at 678-965-7185 or visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM.

10/27/2024

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Bob! 🌟

Introducing our fourth long-term resident—Bob! This mellow guy absolutely LOVES people and toys, and he’s spent the last six months searching for his forever family. How can you resist this adorable face and his even cuter personality? Whenever you take him out of his kennel, he insists on finding an emotional support toy to bring along on his adventures!

Bob is estimated to be five and a half years old and weighed 74 pounds at his last check-up. While he’s a large dog, he’s very low energy and perfectly content to lounge on a comfy bed with his toys. He also does great in playgroups with other laid-back dogs.

Unfortunately, Bob has what we believe to be birth defects in his back legs, giving them a bowed appearance. But don’t let that fool you! He gets around just fine and manages beautifully with just a simple joint supplement. Remember, it’s what’s on the inside that truly matters, and Bob’s heart is as big as they come!

Let’s help Bob find his forever home! If you’re interested in adopting or fostering him, please call us at 678-965-7185 or visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM.

10/26/2024

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Creed! 🌟

Introducing our third long-term resident of the week—Creed! This laid-back guy has been with us for ten months, despite his award-winning personality. He absolutely LOVES people and kids, making him a fantastic family dog. While he enjoys an occasional walk, there’s nothing he loves more than curling up on a cozy blanket or soft dog bed. Couch cuddles? Count Creed in!

At an estimated seven years old, Creed is in his golden years. Adopting a dog in their golden years comes with its own set of benefits: they’re calmer, already trained, and ready to provide companionship without the wild puppy energy! Plus, Creed is already crate and house trained, making the transition to your home that much easier.

Weighing in at 45 pounds, Creed is the perfect medium-sized companion. He’s made it clear that he’d prefer to be the only pet in your home—let’s just say he thinks other animals are “too much competition for belly rubs!”

Let’s help Creed find his forever home! If you’re interested in adopting or fostering him, please call us at 678-965-7185 or visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM.

10/25/2024

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Bowie! 🌟

Introducing our second long-term resident of the week—Bowie! This handsome guy has been with us for six long months and is eagerly waiting for his forever home or a dedicated foster.

Bowie has shown great compatibility with other dogs, and while we haven’t tested him with cats, he doesn’t seem bothered by them when passing by. Plus, he’s already house trained, making his transition from kennel to home a breeze!

At around five years old and weighing in at 46 pounds, Bowie is the perfect size for smaller living spaces. He’s sweet, playful, and ready to bring joy to your life.

Let’s help Bowie find the loving home he deserves! If you’re interested in adopting or fostering him, please call us at 678-965-7185 or visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM.

10/24/2024

🌟 Long-Timer Spotlight: Meet Betty! 🌟

First up is our sweet girl, Betty. She has been with us for an incredible TWO YEARS—yes, you read that right! Sadly, that’s half of her life spent in a shelter, and if we could only give one of our long-term residents a chance, it would be her.

Betty is about four years old, weighs 53 pounds, and is incredibly intelligent. She picks up new commands and tricks with ease and is highly motivated by treats! The best part? She’s already housetrained, so that’s one less thing to worry about on your new dog checklist.

Betty is the perfect blend of active and chill. Whether you want to go for a walk or snuggle up on the couch for a binge-watching session, she’ll be your loyal companion through it all!

Betty would thrive best as the only pet in your home. She’s quite selective about her doggy friends and truly enjoys being the center of your world.

Let’s help Betty find her forever home! If you’re interested in adopting or fostering her, please call us at 678-965-7185 or visit us Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 5 PM and ask to meet Betty.

Calling all working breed enthusiasts! We have just the dog for you!

Dog Days of Summer

Lonestar, Seal, Damien, and Bowie were having an epic time in their playgroup. Lonestar was on a mission to teach Seal the art of staying cool by slathering on thick, gooey coats of mud, turning himself into a muddy masterpiece.
