ADOPTED!

🐾 Meet Penny: Your New Snuggle Buddy! 🐾

This sweet 8-week-old puppy is ready to find her forever home! Penny is in a foster home right now, where she’s showing off her funny personality and learning all about the world. 💖

🌟 About Penny:

Playful & Curious: Loves to run, climb stairs, and explore everything around her—especially if it involves cats (she’s very curious about them!).

Social Butterfly: Enjoys playing with her foster sister and snuggling up when playtime is over. 🐶💕

Foodie: Eats both wet and dry food and is obsessed with the water fountain in her foster home!

💡 Things to Know:

Penny is still a baby, which means she’s learning! She’s a bit of a whiner, loves to chew (super chewer alert!), and thinks running away is a fun game. With a little patience and training, she’ll blossom into the perfect companion.

If you’re ready for a playful, snuggly pup to brighten your days, come meet Penny! She’s looking for a loving family who’s ready for all the fun (and a little bit of mischief) that comes with having a puppy. 🏡

📍 2171 Mack Road, Douglasville, GA
🕒 Open Tuesday - Sunday, 1 PM - 5 PM

Let’s find Penny her happily ever after! 🐾💛

Meet Friskey, the fun-loving, tennis-ball-obsessed sweetheart who’s stolen the hearts of staff and volunteers alike! 🎾 This 3–5-year-old black-and-white Lab mix is our longest-term resident, having been with us for 277 days, and she’s full of energy, charm, and potential.

🌟 Why You'll Love Friskey
Playtime Pro: Friskey lives for tennis balls and loves to play fetch. Her goofy, joyful energy will keep you smiling!
Couch Potato Vibes: While she adores her tennis balls, she also loves to lounge around and is a certified couch potato.
Dog Friendly: She enjoys the company of other dogs and thrives in playful, rough-and-tumble wrestling and chase games.
Housetrained: Keeps her kennel clean and knows when it’s time to go out.

💖 A Staff Favorite
Friskey has made a lasting impression as a sweet, eager-to-please pup. She knows "sit," is approachable, calm when leashed, and always ready to make new friends.

✨ Special Notes
Tolerant and Brave: During grooming sessions, she tolerated being brushed with a Furminator and even handled a high-velocity dryer, despite being nervous.
Health: Fully vetted, spayed, and her adoption fee is sponsored! She does have a small mass that should be monitored, but she’s otherwise in great shape and ready for her next adventure.

🏡 Ideal Home
Friskey would thrive in an active household that can keep up with her playful spirit and appreciates her lounging tendencies. She’s looking for a family who will toss tennis balls for hours and provide the structure and love she deserves.

Ready to welcome Friskey into your life? Come meet her today—she’s waiting with her favorite tennis ball! 🎾💕

💛 Meet Lexa & Hashbrown:

- Age: 3-5 years old
- Size: Around 50 lbs
- Health: Altered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative
- Cat-Tested: Both walked through our cat room, sniffed the cats through their cages, and then calmly walked away. What great manners!

These lowriders are ready for a home filled with love and laughter. Whether it’s playtime with kids, a cozy nap, or an adventure, Lexa and Hashbrown are perfect companions for any family. Could one of these sweethearts be your holiday miracle? 🎁

🐾 Meet Angelica: A Shy but Loving Soul 🐾

Angelica is a stunning yellow Lab mix who has been with us for 29 days. At 56 lbs, she’s the perfect size for hugs and companionship! While she may be a little shy with new people, once she warms up, she absolutely LOVES affection.

💛 Angelica’s Highlights:

- Passed her cat test by walking away—no strong interest there.
- Would thrive in a calm environment with a patient and loving family.

🎅🎄 Santa Delivered to the Shelter! 🎄🎅

Yesterday afternoon, Santa brought Christmas cheer to the shelter dogs with amazing presents! 🎁🐾 Thanks to the generosity of our incredible community, every animal will have a toy, a blanket, and treats for Christmas this year. We couldn’t be more grateful for your kindness and support! ❤️

We’re especially obsessed with all the nylon chew toys that have been delivered! 🦴 Toys like Nyla Bones, antlers, and other hard chew toys are perfect for our pups who can be a bit... enthusiastic with their playtime. These durable options are a great solution for dogs who can’t have stuffing or rope toys due to ingestion risks.

Not only do these toys keep the dogs happily occupied and allow them to express natural chewing behaviors, but they also help us give more dogs blankets! 🐶💖 When they have a good chew toy, they’re less likely to shred or eat their blankets, which means a cozy, safe space for every pup.

Thank you again to everyone who has made this holiday season so special for our shelter animals. Your thoughtfulness makes all the difference, and we can’t wait to see tails wagging this Christmas!

🐾 Meet Harvey Dent: Two Sides of Charm, All Heart 🐾

This sweet and affectionate boy has never met a stranger—Harvey Dent is a one-year-old, 42.2-pound mixed breed who’s happy just to be alive! Named after the iconic character, Harvey has two sides too, but they’re both equally lovable: one side is playful and eager to learn, and the other is a snuggly sweetheart who loves nothing more than affection. 🐶💖

🌟 Why Harvey’s a Star
- Friendly with Everyone: Harvey’s the type of dog who wags his tail at everyone he meets—pure social butterfly energy!
- Smart and Motivated: Knows basic commands like sit, come, and down. Plus, he’s treat-motivated, making training a breeze.
- Playful and Curious: He’s shown interest in other dogs on leash, so bring your pup to meet him and see if they’re a match!
- A Survivor: Harvey came to us underweight and stressed, but with time and care, he’s putting on weight and showing his happy, goofy personality.

Harvey Dent is ready to trade shelter life for a forever home where he can be spoiled and loved as he deserves. Could you be the hero he’s been waiting for?

RESCUED BY: Save 1 at a Time

🐾 Nugget Needs a Christmas Miracle 🎄

This is Nugget, a sweet, 110-pound yellow lab who came to us as a stray. Sadly, Nugget has been diagnosed with late-stage heartworm disease, a condition that requires specialized treatment and aftercare. While he’s a big, strong boy with so much love to give, his medical needs mean he’s unlikely to be adopted quickly—and time is not on his side.

💔 Nugget’s Urgent Need
Nugget needs out of the shelter by Friday to get the care and chance he so desperately deserves. Unfortunately, the treatment for heartworm in a dog of his size can be expensive and beyond what we can provide here at the shelter.

Douglas County, we’re calling on you. Can you—or someone you know—step up for Nugget? Whether it’s through fostering, adopting, or partnering with a rescue, Nugget needs a hero to give him a second chance at life.

🐶 About Nugget

- Male, Neutered

- Approx. 110 lbs

- Sweet, gentle, and deserving of a loving home

His condition is serious, but with the right care, he still has a chance

If you’re connected to a rescue, have experience with heartworm-positive dogs, or know someone with the resources to give Nugget the Christmas miracle he needs, please reach out immediately.

📍 2171 Mack Road, Douglasville, GA
📞 770-942-5961

Please share this post far and wide to help Nugget find his miracle. Together, we can give this sweet boy the love, care, and hope he deserves this holiday season.
