’Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the town, our kennels were full...
not one empty space found.

Crates stacked in the corners,
dogs waiting inside,
while homes glowed with warmth
and families slept side by side.

Christmas doesn’t pause intake.
It doesn’t slow need.
And shelter life doesn’t stop...
even on Christmas Eve.

📸 Snoopy’s Day Out with ACO Sam 🐾

When the shelter gets a little too loud (looking at you, Burt and the Shelter Dog Band singing Christmas carols 👀), some dogs just need a break.

So ACO Sam took Snoopy on a special field trip to the Sheriff’s Department, and let us tell you, he understood the assignment!

Snoopy was calm, polite, and the best office assistant you could ask for. He soaked up the quieter environment, enjoyed some one-on-one time, and showed everyone just how sweet and well-mannered he really is. 🖤

Shelter life doesn’t always show a dog’s true personality, so days like this give Snoopy a chance, and he absolutely shined.

Good boy, Snoopy. We see you. 🐶✨

(And yes… he’s available for adoption 😉)

Hi, I’m Gabriel 🤍

I’m a 1-year-old mixed breed pup weighing about 53 lbs, and I’m still figuring out this big, busy world.

I was found running loose in Talma, and a very kind family took me in and cared for me for a couple of months while we waited to see if anyone would come looking for me. No one ever did, and although they loved me, they couldn’t keep me — so now I’m hoping my forever family is out there.

I’ll be honest: I’m shy, timid, and a little nervous at first. New situations can feel overwhelming for me, and I tend to feel more comfortable around women. I absolutely adore children and seem to feel safest and happiest around them. I like to chase kitties, so I'd probably do best in a home without them.

🐾 Good with other dogs
🐾 Gentle with food and toys
🐾 Crate trained
🐾 Mostly potty trained

Because I can be a bit flighty when I’m scared, I’d do best with leash walks or a securely fenced yard where I can feel safe while I gain confidence. Once I trust you, I’m a sweet, gentle soul who just wants reassurance and kindness.

I just need a little patience, consistency, and a family willing to give me a chance. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted pup to grow with, I might be your Gabriel. 💛

💔 With broken hearts, we’re announcing Loki as our Pet of the Week. ❤️

Not because he’s misbehaved.
Not because he’s unlovable.
And definitely not because he’s been forgotten.

Loki is our gentle, squishy-faced house hippo who has stolen the hearts of every single staff member here. He’s calm, affectionate, loyal to his core, and the kind of dog who just wants to be close to his people.

But Loki is back with us — again — through absolutely no fault of his own.

He’s lived through more than any dog should. Twice, he came to us due to domestic abuse situations. Most recently, he was adopted and deeply loved, but had to be returned when his adopter was forced to move somewhere Loki wasn’t allowed to go.

And every time, Loki has stayed exactly who he is... gentle, loving, and deserving of stability.

We’re doing everything we can to make sure this time is the one.
The home that sticks.
The home where Loki never has to come back.

Loki would do best as the ONLY PET in a stable home with someone who understands loyalty runs both ways. He’s the kind of dog who will choose you fully — once you choose him.

Please help us share Loki’s story.
Please help us find him the home he’s been waiting for.

If you think you might be that person, we’d love for you to meet him. 💛

Neutered, heartworm negative, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention. Adoption fee is SPONSORED for an approved adopter.

If you are interested in meeting and adopting, please submit an application in person or here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog

Once submitted our staff will review and then contact you to set up a meet & greet! If it's a match, you can take home on the same day!!

🐾 Meet Miles, a dog who started his journey scared and unsure at our shelter. He was so timid, he wouldn't leave his kennel for weeks.. but with patience, he’s started to learn to trust.

Miles isn’t just any dog; he’s a rare hermaphrodite, which makes his story even more unique. Miles has made great progress and he now enjoys quiet moments and is ready to find a special home with someone who understands fearful dogs.

This season, consider opening your heart and home. Giving a gentle dog like Miles a loving family makes a big difference. Plus, there’s joy in seeing them heal and grow.

📖 Read more about Miles’s journey and how you can help on our website.
