Lulu is someone’s perfect dog— we just have to find them! Look how much she loves people, trying to block out the noise of the shelter and soak in the love.
Lulu is 3 years old, 55 pounds, and a complete sweetheart. She loves to play with her friends in the play yard, but her favorite time is with humans. If you adopt Lulu, we promise you’ll get the best, most loyal friend in return!💕
Adopt Lulu!

🐾Alumni Update🐾
It’s been 1 month since our handsome boy, Buddy, was adopted & mom Courtney reports that he’s doing awesome! She says, “The first day I could barely get him to come in our house. Now he loves to snuggle with me & loves playing with his fur-brother Beau and doing zoomies in the backyard!” Courtney has also been working with a trainer so Buddy learns all the commands to keep him safe & happy. She says he’s so smart! We’re so happy this shy guy is adjusting so well & has such a loving home. Every shelter dog should be so lucky🍀💚
This is new shelter resident, Hollie🌺 She loves everyone she meets and just wants to be next to you any time she’s out of her kennel. Right now we’re thinking she needs to be an only pet but the more we get to know her & assess her behavior, the more we’ll know about this speckled cutie. What we have learned is she knows “sit”, she’s pretty calm when hanging out, she’s good on a leash & she’s one attention-loving good girl!🩷#ellijaypawsinneed #pickellijay #shelterdog #rescuedismyfavoritebreed

Preacher🥰🥰🥰
We can’t say enough about the resilience and spirit of our sweet boy, Preacher! He has been through so much in his short life— he’s been sick, physically injured, and had to have dental surgery. Despite it all, you can see in the video how much he loves spending time with people. We are so thankful that he is healthy and feels better! Now, we just need to find that special person who will give him a second chance at the life he deserves💙🐾🙏
Adopt Preacher!

The 1st week of November is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week to honor animal shelters & the people who work at them. The title “Kennel Technician” doesn’t quite cover all that Will & Ben do for our shelter dogs. Every dog in the shelter LOVES them & we understand why. They take such good care of each & every one, not just by making sure they have clean kennels, food/water & medicine as needed - but also by spending quality time and showing them love & kindness while they patiently wait to be adopted. Thank you, Will!🙏🏼 Thank you, Ben!🙏🏼 Your compassion is immeasurable but not unnoticed. 🫶🏼🐾 #ellijaypawsinneed #pickellijay #ShelterStrong #animalshelter #shelterdogs Gilmer County Animal Shelter
Daylight Savings Time🌞has ended so the shelter dogs are here to remind you to make the most of every waking minute! If they could turn back time⏰, they wouldn’t be homeless & without a family. They wait for the light through the darkness and we will make time for them until they find their way home! 🙏🏼🩵 #ellijaypawsinneed #pickellijay #dogsarefamily #saveadog #shelterdog
We are so proud of you Ora, and we just know your perfect human is out there💜
As a reminder, the shelter was Ora’s 1st experience with care & nurture. She couldn’t be touched or walked so we would open her kennel & she would run out to the play yards where she could be with other dogs. Over the months, she’s improved greatly thanks to volunteers who give her the space and time she needs. She graduated to pack walks with her friends, and now she’s confident enough to walk all by herself! She will even take treats from your hand🥰
We’re so proud of how far she’s come but know a very specific adopter is needed. A dog friend is her security blanket so another pet in the home is ideal. She will be scared, so a fenced yard is needed so she doesn’t run when spooked. Her ideal person will understand her behavior is not her fault, it’s the product of someone who treated her very badly. Her person will be her rescuer, her safe space, her forever home. Winning her over will require patience & time but the rewards of her trust & unconditional love will be worth it. Please help us reach Ora’s Hero! ♥️🐾
