Adopt A Big Dog Atlanta

18/04/2024

Hi, I'm Freeman, and I'm looking for my forever home.

I'm a 9-month-old pup who LOVES a good snuggle. I am 100% potty trained, get along great with other dogs, and sleep through the night on my doggy bed without ever trying to jump on my foster mom's bed. I have a lot of energy and love being outside, so a fenced-in yard and/or another dog in the home would be ideal for me.

I love my walks and am doing well on a leash. My foster parents say I'm very smart and a quick learner. But I think the best thing about me is that even though I might be 30lbs, I am pretty determined to be a lap dog. I love nothing more than a good cuddle on the couch with my humans.

Want to meet me? Start by emailing [email protected] and ask about FREEMAN

Hi, friends! I'm Dollie Madison. I'm a 3-4 year old, 65-pound, short and stumpy Pit Bull terrier mix. Beneath my fit exterior, I'm a big marshmallow, soft and sweet! Foster mama says I am the best girl and a wonderful ambassador for my breed.

I love to be loved, and cuddling is my favorite hobby. I prefer to be near you while I nap (and snore). And I like to rest my big head on your lap, give kisses, and sometimes love nibbles. My foster mama is teaching me the word "gentle" to ensure I'm always careful with this. I just have so much love to share!

I'm not high-energy, but I get excited when we wake up or my people come home. I sometimes jump when excited, so I have been learning "off" and doing great with that. I already know "sit," too!

I enjoy the company of other mellow, well-balanced, and well-behaved dogs, but I do not vibe with dogs who are anxious, loud, or unbalanced. I haven't met a cat yet, so I'm not sure if I could live with one. I do not like other animals around my food or toys, but my foster mama finds this easy to manage by feeding me separately and not leaving toys or bones lying around.

Walking on a leash is fun and I only pull when excited. Crates are okay, but I'm not mischievous when left out and don't need one. I'm house-trained and currently get a potty break every few hours. I sleep through the night without a peep (except for snoring).

My ideal home would not have young children. I love them, but as mentioned above, I'm still working on some of my manners. I could probably live with one other doggy friend if they were mellow and easygoing like me, or I'm fine as an only pet, too (more love for me!).

Foster mama says whoever adopts me will be so lucky because I'm so special! There will be laughter and unconditional love every single day!

Hattie Lucky is as sweet as she is adorable! This small English Bulldog mix is the perfect size at 35 pounds. She is happiest when she can be with her person and will follow you from room to room, in case you want to stop and give her some pets and kisses.

Hattie Lucky is young, so she still likes to chew on things, but is learning that dog toys are the best chew toys. She's house trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash.

She would do great as an only pet, but she also loves to play and enjoys playful dogs. If your dog would rather just be left alone to snooze on the couch, she's not a good match because she will drive him or her crazy trying to play.

It's important to note that she does not like to share food with other dogs and should be fed separately and not given access to the kitchen during meal prep and family dinner if she has a doggie sibling. If she's the only dog, she has no problem being around humans while they are preparing and eating their food.

As is common for English Bulldogs, she will likely have higher vet bills than the average dog so do your research and then apply to adopt this little snuggle bug if she sounds like the one for you.

PS - She snores but even that is adorable.

Hello, I am Scoobert Doo Jr, I am an adorable little furball looking for my forever home! So hard to believe I was HOURS away from being euthanized. I get along with everyone small and tall. I have two larger brothers and sisters that I enjoy playing with. I am doing super well with potty training. I am good in my crate at night and during the day. I learn very quickly, come when I am called, and am very treat-driven. What more can you ask for? I got it all!

Shayleen is a very special girl. One of our fosters is sponsoring Shayleen's full adoption fee. So Shayleen is ready for her new home.

This beauty will always give you the ultimate fangirl welcome when you walk in the door. Shayleen loves her people and always makes sure they get a proper welcome. She's never met a stranger, so she sees everyone as 'her people.'

Shayleen loves to go on leisurely walks with her focus on taking in the good sniffs vs. getting in steps. Shayleen loves to sniff; it seems to be one of her favorite pastimes. She likes to bring one of her favorite toys along while she walks. She seems to think that they appreciate the fresh air, too. Her stuffed ball, rubber kong, and baseball are some of her go-to toys. But, if she doesn't start her walk with a toy, she will usually find one along the way - maybe a stick? And she can't miss an opportunity to make a friend.

She also loves balls and is willing to fetch them, but she only brings the ball back to you in her own time. She loves her exercise but appreciates her downtime as well. Shayleen has a wonderfully balanced approach to life.

Shayleen is 8-years old and about 50 pounds. She's been learning her manners and is becoming quite the polite lady. She doesn't mind walking on busier trails or around doggy friends but isn't interested in living with another dog. She'd prefer a place that she could call her own.

Interested? To meet Shayleen please email [email protected]

Hi! I'm Aden Clover! I'm just a young, female pup, at 9 weeks old, looking for my furever home. The wonderful Angels found me and 3 of my siblings at an abandoned property in rural Macon. We had no idea who our parents were, but we had each other, so we were okay. Foster momma says there no reason I'm not adopted like my siblings, just the luck of draw. I love my 3 foster fur siblings (ages 3-13). Although I'm okay playing by myself sometimes, I really enjoying being with them! I'm also decently behaved with my 2.5 yo human foster sibling.

I still have lots to learn since I'm such a young pup. Will you be willing to help and grow with me!?

Meet Swanky Lola! This 60-pound, 1.5 year-old, German Shepherd mix is an enthusiastic and happy girl who would make a wonderful addition to your family.

Swanky Lola is crate and potty trained. She loves going on walks, riding in the car and is very treat motivated. She is also very affectionate and loves giving kisses and snuggles.

This girl is super smart! She just completed a program with one of our professional training partners where she worked on basic skills such as: place, stay, leash walking, drop it, and not jumping on people. Swanky Lola enjoys brain games and scent work too. It will be important for her adoptive family to continue reinforcing these skills.

Swanky Lola would do best as the only pet in a home, so she can be the center of attention! While she likes other dogs very much, she is still very energetic and a little too eager in her play style. Her personality can be a bit too big for other dogs she meets.

Swanky Lola adores people, including older children 12 years of age or older. Her playful exuberance is a bit much for young children. She still has lots of energy, so an active family who will continue with her training and take her for walks and play ball with her would be the best fit for her.

My name is Gianna and I surely need a hero, and if you are my hero, I will pay you back a million times over with love, loyalty, fun, and entertainment value. The people who know me best call me "meatball" because, at 49 pounds, I'm a perfectly sized little "pocket-pittie."

I'm 10.5 years old with lots of energy to play ball and take walks, but I also enjoy taking time to chill. I love sunshine and rolling in the grass. Everyone says my best attribute is my personality because I'm super smart, engaging, and fun. If you are looking, not just for a dog, but a real-life companion who will make you laugh and smile, and be your friend, then I'm your girl.

Hi! My name is Irvin and I am about the sweetest boy there ever was. I'm a black lab mix and I weigh about 70 pounds. They think I'm 6 years old. For a while I had to hang out in this thing called a shelter, and while I was there, they had me meet all the new doggies coming in. They said I was so good I was their "temperament tester," whatever that means. All I know is I just love everyone and always want a human or a dog nearby. My foster mom says my name should be Shadow because I just follow her around everywhere.

I love living inside a house! It's warm and I feel safe. I don't like that crate they make me sleep in sometimes because it reminds me of my sad time in the shelter, but I will go in if you bribe me with treats! I'll bark for a bit if I am left alone. I eventually just settle in and wait for foster mom to come back, but since I can be a bit of a loudmouth, I probably shouldn't live in an apartment. I live with some cats right now, but I'm not very interested in them and just let them do their thing. I have made some new doggie friends at my foster home and would be great with just about any dog, but I am also fine to just live with a human and no other dogs. Big bonus if I can sit on the sofa with you (but foster mom doesn't allow that and that's okay too as long as you give me lots of love). I'm pretty good on a leash, but also love a fenced in yard so I can explore. I've learned very quickly that I always go outside to go potty.

One other thing, once I became an Angel, they took me to a vet and they said I have this thing called heart worms. Gross! I am doing great so far and they said I just have to get a few shots and lay low for a bit. The good news is you can go ahead and adopt me if you do it soon! The rescue will let me go ahead to my furever home before I get my first shot and still pay for the rest of the treatment. I'm a pretty easy patient, the only thing you have to remember during my treatment is to keep me calm, but I'm a pretty calm boy anyway!

For more info about me please email [email protected] and ask about IRVIN

Are you looking for a snuggle buddy and constant companion? Nylaa is your girl! Nylaa is a 3 year old, pittie mixed-breed, at a perfect size of 50 pounds. She is 100% house trained and crate trained, loves to play with other dogs, and absolutely LOVES children! However, Nylaa would prefer a household without cats. She is medium energy - she would love a fenced yard to do her zoomies and sunbathe (though a fenced yard is not a requirement). She also loves leash walks. She is also very happy to lay on the couch and watch TV with her people or sit at your feet while you work.

Nylaa takes a little while to warm up to new people that come into her home (she will bark at them initially), but once she's comfortable, she is truly everyone's best friend! Nylaa needs a family that can be patient with her when new people come over, but the good news is she doesn't mind the crate at all, so she can easily be put up when a repair person comes, etc. Nylaa does excellent when meeting people and other dogs outside the home (vet, walks, parks, etc). Nylaa currently lives with a 5 year old and 9 year old child and she absolutely adores them. She prefers to sleep in bed with one of her humans!

Nylaa hopes to find her forever family very soon! Maybe yours? If so please email [email protected] and ask to meet her.

My name is Mackenzie Rose, and I am looking for a forever home!

I am a growing young lady who is just five months old. I am believed to be a Labrador mix (who knows?), and our best guess is I'll grow up to be 60 or so pounds.

I'm one of those "outgoing, I love everybody" dogs. I love all people, especially children, and I get along great with other dogs, big and small. I'm still deciding about cats.

I am a puppy, so I'm still learning how the world works-things like walking pretty well on my leash and getting into my crate. Although I prefer you to be with me, I don't stress when you leave me for a short amount of time. I am still working on my potty training but getting there quickly.

My foster mom says I'm the sweetest baby who loves cuddling, kissing, playing with children and other dogs, and taking puppy naps. Oh, and I can entertain myself while I play with my toys.

I am a perfect little sweetheart who can't wait to meet you.

Hi there! My name is Tagliatelle (tah-lyah-TELL-eh), but everyone calls me Tag. I'm a 5 year old shepherd mix whose favorite place to be is with people. I enjoy going on walks, seeing all the sights, and sniffing all the smells.

I would love to be your outdoor adventure partner. I am also a fan of a good flop on the floor nap next to my foster mom. Scratches, pats, and cuddles are my jam when I'm not exploring the great outdoors.

I know sit, shake, down, and I'm working hard on stay. I am eager and happy to learn new things. I'm told that I'm a smart boy and speedy quick learner. I'm also excellent at gathering large sticks.

I am very sweet and do well with other dogs outside of my home. Inside my home, I would prefer to have my people all to myself. I would do better in an active home with older children as I still get a little excited and can accidentally topple toddlers.

My given name is Dolly Holly, but my foster family calls me Dior because I am bougie. I am an 8 year old collie mix and I weigh 55 pounds.

I am a high maintenance girl who likes things just so, I can be shy when you first meet me. I definitely prefer women to men, but will warm up once I know you. I LOVE walks and sitting outside or playing with a tennis ball, if I am in the mood I will fetch.

I love food, belly rubs, snuggling, and being brushed. I very much dislike nail trims and bathes. Yuck!

I am fine with other dogs if you introduce me properly, but ultimately, I love my person more than playing with dogs. If you are my person I will es**rt you everywhere. I am also fine with older kids, but I get nervous with babies and toddlers who move quickly.

I might try to sit on your lap despite being too big. Remember it's all about me!

Are you looking for that special someone to love and spoil? If so, I might be your girl!

It would be hard to find a sweeter, more low key companion than Labrador mix Bashful Boy. At 10-years old, life may have slowed him down a bit, but has only increased his cuteness. Not only does he have an adorable face, but at 41 lbs, he's the perfect size and full of heart.

Bashful Boy has a unique and endearing way of vocalizing and expressing himself when telling his foster mommy he's hungry or needs to go potty. It is so entertaining and makes him extra special in the best possible way. He is a quiet, calm soul whose perfect day would consist of human companionship, sunbathing when weather allows, and a curious romp around a fenced in backyard.

This well-mannered guy is completely housebroken, is dog friendly and is non-destructive. Other than having basic needs, he prefers to be around his human and sometimes has separation anxiety, but that's only because he's got so much love to give! Bashful Boy would do well with another confident but mellow senior pup or as an only dog. Due to arthritis in his hip, common with a boy of his age, he requires an adult-only home with no stairs (or very few). Though he's on medication, due to his aches, he is best suited in a home with only older kids 10+ years old and older, who can be respectful and gentle and understand he hurts sometimes.

One look at Bashful Boy's irresistible face melts hearts. As a hoarder survivor, he craves and deserves the easy life with a best human friend at his side. Could that be you?

UPDATED HE’S ADOPTED!
This adorable bundle of joy is Tinker Brown! He is a sweet, playful pup with super-soft fur. At three months old, he weighs 20 pounds, so he is expected to be a perfect medium-sized dog. He has proven to be quite smart and trainable. He is working on potty training and learning some commands. He is currently being fostered with both large and small dogs and he is learning to play appropriately with other dogs of different sizes and temperaments. He loves playing with toys, ball, and climbing into your lap for a good cuddle session. Once he has had playtime, he is happy to sleep in a dog bed in his foster's office.

Meet Emilia Fontana, a lovable 3-year-old large dog. Emilia is a playful and energetic companion who thoroughly enjoys playtime. However, she tends to play rough and may be too much for smaller children and small animals.

Emilia is accustomed to sleeping in her crate but also loves sharing a bed with her humans. She is a loyal and protective dog, always looking out for her home and the people she cares about.

To provide Emilia with a safe environment, a fenced yard is essential. This will give her the space she needs to roam, play, and explore while minimizing the risk of wandering off.

Emilia's new family should be prepared to invest time and effort into her training. Obedience training can help refine her manners and reinforce basic commands. By establishing consistent boundaries and positive reinforcement, Emilia will continue to grow into a well-behaved and happy companion.

Beary Tree is a stunning, 2.5 year old, Great Pyrenees mix. He currently weighs in at about 70 pounds, but is working on losing a few. He has a medium energy level, is house trained, and working on crate training, but does well out in the house when left alone.

This guy is Mr. Charisma. He loves everyone and everyone loves him. He plays well with other dogs, but with any big dog, a slow introduction is always a good idea. He loves car rides so much that he is reluctant to leave the car when you get home. Walks and hikes are a big hit with Beary Tree too, but he can be barky and pull on a leash when approaching other dogs. He is working on this and is making progress.

He loves hanging out in the yard, so a fenced yard is a must for this guy. Beary is a very intelligent dog who enjoys having something to do whether it is working on training, hiking, walking or whatever activity you love, he is up for it.

This sweet boy is a joy and loves his people. He is going to be a great addition to a lucky family.

This four-year-old beauty is Gentle Spirit, and her name truly befits this sweet, gentle soul. Gentle Spirit is a docile, quiet girl with a goofy, playful side. She has learned how to be a "dog" and has learned how to play with smaller dogs in her foster home. It does take her a while to warm up to strange dogs, so she would need long and slow introductions if there is another dog in the home, but another friendly dog, more on the calm, stable side yet still likes to play a little bit might help her continue in her development. Spirit walks pretty well on leash, and she does ok on car rides, particularly the outings to Starbucks or Bruster's where she gets yummy treats.

Gentle Spirit is house-trained and sleeps loose in the bedroom with her foster family. Being the velcro girl she is, she would probably like a home where she is not left alone for long periods; she makes a great home officemate and is excellent on those virtual meetings as she never makes a peep. She loves quietly being in the middle of things with her people.

She has learned to be respectful of the cat in her foster home who is very calm around dogs; if the cat does run, she will chase but not harm. She also likes to chase birds and squirrels in the backyard, so a fenced yard would be best. She is initially cautious of strangers but does warm up quickly; treats always help speed that process. She has not been exposed to children in her foster home, but she would probably be fine with older children (10+ years old). She is around 75 pounds.
