🍀Blarney is available for adoption!🍀

She's a big girl, but sweet and playful. She likes to "talk" to us in the morning with her little huffy grumbly voice. She seems to get along well with others and enjoys her play time. She also appears to be crate trained/housebroken! Come meet her today and be charmed! 🍀

This pretty girl was picked up as a stray on River Road this morning. She has some injuries which are being addressed here at the shelter. If she belongs to you, proof of ownership and payment of impound fees are required to reclaim.

Thanks to the citizen who let us know that Taco spent the night in her barn, Officer Bearden was able to go out this morning and bring her back to the shelter! She's been given an evaluation, food and water and she seems to be OK, just a couple of scrapes and bumps. We're waiting for her very thankful family to come pick her up!

This older lady was found as a stray and brought in by a concerned citizen this morning. She was found on Whispering Oaks Rd in Waynesboro. If she belongs to you, proof of ownership and payment of impound fees are required to reclaim.

🥰🥰PUPDATE: ELLIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 🥰🥰

Look at the cuteness!!! Ellie was an owner surrender this morning. She's 4 months old and we were told she's a Doodle/Rat Terrier mix. She's about 10 pounds now so should mature in the 25-30 pound range. She's had her first set of vaccinations and deworming. Just needs a loving FUREVER home!!

Aqua and Tarn haven't gotten ANY attention. These pups are so cute, they're great ages and sizes - they're 5 months old and we estimate they will be in the 45-55 pound range when mature. They NEED to get out of the shelter! Come visit these two today!

BEFORE YOU ADOPT : Make sure the place you're living accepts pets! Things won't end well for the pet when your landlord finds out you have one.

Frank was an owner surrender and he got lucky ... he found a new home!

Thanks to Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue, another FOUR cats left the shelter this week to their new, better lives. Geronimo (and many before him) went to a Cat Cafe in Savannah where he will be able to pick his new owners and should be in his furever home this weekend.

We can't thank Old Fella enough for their dedicated work in helping the unwanted of Burke County find bright futures!

UPDATE: ADOPTED

This big guy was found in Northern Burke County. If he belongs to you, proof of ownership and payment of impound fees are required to reclaim.

🥹🥹POOR JENNA. 🥹🥹

She's almost been adopted ... TWICE, but due to no fault of her own, the adoption fell through. She's a great family dog, just wants to curl up on your lap. At 60+ pounds, she doesn't understand that might be a bit much, but who can say "no" to that face. She's housebroken and quiet inside and outside, she's ready to play, fetch, hike, ride in the car and maybe even swim! Whatever your outdoor hobby, she'd be a great companion for such.

Jenna is up to date on vaccinations, deworming, Heartworm negative, and will be microchipped and spayed upon adoption.

We still have sponsored adoptions available!!! She could be adopted at no cost to you. Come down to meet Jenna today!

Jenna has done her time for her stray hold and is now available to a great home. Jenna's heritage is a bit of a mystery to us, possibly Catahoula mix (merle ears and blue eyes?), maybe pointer or lab? She's about 55 pounds, crate trained, super sweet, quiet and just a nice dog to be around.

She's up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, parasite negative and she'll be spayed and microchipped upon adoption.

Jenna's adoption fee has been SPONSORED...we'd love to see her find her furever home today!

📣📣AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!!📣📣

AQUA - tan female
TARN - black male

4 month old lab mixes looking for their furever home. They were brought in as strays, sweet but nervous in the shelter environment. They've blossomed into nice dogs, working on house breaking and will be great family members.

They're up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and deworming, they'll be microchipped and their sterilization surgery will be scheduled upon adoption! Come on down to meet these guys ... we're sure you'll fall in love.

❣️AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION❣️

Butch was an owner surrender, only because his aging owner couldn't physically handle a strong, enthusiastic dog. He seems to be a nice fella, he's reported to be housebroken, sweet and loving, and quiet inside. When he goes outside, he likes to run and chase things so a fenced yard is a must for Butch. He's up to date on vaccines deworming, flea treatment and will be microchipped and neutered upon adoption.

We still have sponsored adoptions available!!
