Vivian Leigh is ready for her forever family. She would love the company of another dog and room to run and play. She is timid until she is secure in her environment, but quickly becomes an affectionate velcro dog. Vivian believes that she is a lap dog and toys are fun until they squak. She is fully vetted and we had her stomach tacked to avoid bloat. Vivian Leigh is one sweet girl.

So this happened. Walking Home Together welcomes these five terrier mixes, three boys and two girls. Meet Bill, Cash, Silver, Moolah and Loot. More information to follow. Oh year, they were found at a Dollar General store.

Waffle Fry has decided to take finding a forever family into her own paws. Here she is refining her search strategies. First, she finds a house and positions herself at a screen door. Second, Waffle listens carefully for approaching footsteps. Third, she strikes a pitiful pose and charms them with her big brown eyes. Think it will work?

Racket, now Bluebell, got adopted!

Sludge: Marvalla, what is your issue of the day? You looked extra irritated.
Marvalla: Mom is my issue.
Sludge: Were you the one that chewed up the TV remote?
Marvalla: No, that was yesterday's issue. I had a little accident in the hallway and Mom says I have to clean it up.
Sludge: That was no accident.
Marvalla: Thank you big brother.
Sludge: You deliberately unloaded the Mississippi River because you did not want to go out in the rain to do your business.
Marvalla: We are no longer related and it is none of your business.
Sludge: Just go mop it up. Why are you sitting like that?
Marvella: I told her my sciatic nerve was acting up and I was in too much pain to mop.
Sludge: Did she believe you?
Marvalla: She sure did. Her last nerve was causing her pain. I am sure she went to fetch me a soft pillow and toy.
Sludge: You better come up with plan B. Here she comes.
Marvalla: With my pillow and toy?
Sludge: Only if you want to rest your head on a cleaning towel and play with a mop bucket.

The day would not have been complete without a complete emotional breakdown. This was Waffle Fry's dramatic response to not finding her forever family today. Not to worry; Ansley has worked with Walking Home Together from a very young age. She is great with bottle feds and the issue ridden. She provided Waffle with the emotional support needed to gain a more positive approach to life.

Well, we are home and Vivian Leigh is channeling her inner Scarlet O'Hara. She is a bit woozy, but recovering nicely. We were not able to feed her today so she's mumbling, "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again." She knows she is currently not looking her best, but, "Fiddle dee dee. I'll worry about that tomorrow." She will be fine.
15/08/2024
Our sweet Vivian Leigh will be spayed this morning. We are also having her stomach tacked as well. I will let everyone know how she does.
14/08/2024
Marvella: Sludge, I'm very worried.
Sludge: Why? Did you bury Mom's socks in the back yard again? Chill out: they never grow higher than two feet. I cracked myself up.
Marvella: This is serious. Mom said Vivian is having surgery Thursday. She's having her uterus removed. I bet the uterus is part of the brain. I don't think Vivian has had a clear thought in her entire life.
Sludge: Let me calm your fears through education. I studied this very topic a couple of years ago. The uterus is part of the brain located in the pelvis region. Once it is removed the brain will no longer trigger the "mommy mode." There is only one bad side effect.
Marvella: What is that?!
Sludge: She will be cold for the rest of her life.
Marvella: Why?
Sludge: Because she will never be in heat.
Marvella: How did you get so smart?
Sludge: Online college courses.
12/08/2024
This was us at 2:30 in the morning. Marvella has the last word without saying the last word.
12/08/2024
Today was Home Fry's dream come true. He found his forever family!
11/08/2024
Van issues have been resolved! We are at the Stock Market in Conyers.
10/08/2024
Just over thinking.
10/08/2024
It looks like I have van issues so the Stock Market is out. Please let me know if you are interested in adopting. I must now go adjust my attitude.
Waffle and Home Fry hope you come visit with us tomorrow at the Stock Market in Conyers. We hope to be there around lunch.

Hi guys, it's me, Home Fry and I am very upset. My sister, Waffle Fry was playing sticks with me like we do every night. All of the sudden the fence gate flies open and Sludge is kicking Racket and Pickle out. He said he needed to go inside and find his last nerve.
Anyway, those two crazy crackhead chihuahuas talked Waffle into running off with them and the next thing I saw were the butts of three dogs tearing down the driveway. Those chihuahuas are fearless, will pick a fight no matter the size of the opponent and their favorite color is flashing blue lights. Dad was running after them screaming, "Wait! I don't have bail money for all three of you." The gate was closed. Waffle turned around and parked herself under a tree and pondered her actual risk assessment abilities. The chihuahuas are still flinging their tiny bodies against the gate ranting about false arrest, no evidence and lawsuits.
Me? I have discovered the joy of chewing a stick alone.
05/08/2024
I think Waffle Fry and Home Fry have great guard dog potential. .......NOT! While this bird and and all of her feathered friends are stealing food they are barking at a stick. We all have our priorities.

Thank you guys so much for the support efforts with Walking Home Together. This could not happen without you. Please know that I am aware of how full local resues are at the close of Summer. I am at Rockdale Animal Control at least once a week and in constant contact with other local animal controls. Please hold off in tagging me or sending me information about these dogs. Yes, it breaks my heart and I am doing all I can. I do a lot behind the scene work that I don't share on social media. All rescues seem to be at max capacity and often we bear the brunt of undeserved criticism for not taking in "just one more." I love what I do and will never stop. Thank you for understanding.
04/08/2024
I think these two are ready to call it a night.

Headed to Petsmart in Snellville.
Marvella: Sludge, why does Mom put puppies in a cage and drives off with them a lot?
Sludge: She is trying to find them forever families.
Marvella: Is that why some of them don't come back?
Sludge: Yup.
Marvella: When will she ever put us in a cage and drive off?
Sludge: Nope, we have our forever family with Mom.
Marvella: How did that happen?
Sludge: Look in the mirror. We have perfectly formed block heads, muscular builds and we let Mom spoil us. We are totally irresistible.
Marvella: We were also sick and pathetic and have life long health issues.
Sludge: I am sticking with my story.
Marvella: So we get to bask in the sun all day?
Sludge: No, Mom is kinda paranoid and thinks we will have heat strokes. She will put us in our bedroom with the cool air, soft beds and peaceful music.
Marvella: I hope the puppies get their own forever families like we did.
Sludge: Me too.

No, Conyers residents, there was no earthquake in the area. Maybe there was. Vivian probably measured on the Great Dane Richter Scale.

Come visit us tomorrow at Petsmart in Snellville.
Friday is Walking Home Together's pup that has been with us the longest. I am having a hard time taking her to adoption events and watching her get overlooked. No, we are not keeping her. Friday is a happy, healthy girl with so much love to offer. She deserves her own family. She wants human affirmation and tries so hard to please. Her family is out there, somewhere. They will step up and Friday will make a wonderful addition.
Too cute!
Never mind trying to make the adoption area look neat and professional. Come visit us today at Petsmart in Snellville. They are having an event and there are some great deals.
We are at Ace Hardware on Green Street!
We will be at Ace Hardware on Green Street in Conyers tomorrow. Festivities start at 11:00 am. There will be food! Please stop by and say hello.
Sludge: Mom!
Mom: What?
Sludge: Why is this pygmy dog splashing all of the water out of her bowl?
Mom: Maybe she wants to see what's at the bottom.
Sludge: Can't she just look?
Mom: Not exactly.
Sludge: Does she see like Jolene?
Mom: Not exactly.
Sludge: Maybe Ridley looks at things like Marvella. You know, with the attention span of a gnat on crack.
Mom: That would be a more accurate assessment.
Sludge: Huh, you mean a better guess?
Mom: Kinda
Sludge: Maybe she is not capable of big thought thinking like I am. They don't call me Block Head for nothin'.
Mom: Well..............
Sludge: That would be a more ACCURATE ASSESSMENT!
Sludge!
Sludge: Mom, so today is Father's Day?
Mom: Yes, it is.
Sludge: Do these pigmy dogs have a father?
Mom: No
Sludge: We have to do something. They are so young. They will need love, sound advice and someone to eat their leftover food.
Mom: You decide what to do.
Sludge: I could be their dad!
Mom: Their dad?
Sludge: Yes, any man can be a father, but it takes true commitment to be a dad.
Mom: Are you speaking from your heart or from a rumbling belly.
Sludge: Honestly both. Now I have three hearty boys to tend to.
Mom: They are all three girls.
Sludge: Just give me their owner's manual.
Mom: Children don't have that.
Sludge: You mean I have to learn it all by myself. What did you do when you were little?
Mom: Caught bugs, played kick ball while wearing a tiara.
Sludge: I guess I need to get me one of those tiara things.
Friday loves to help with yard work.
Middle of the night play time.
In a world full of conformity, just be different; be you.
The most boring dog treat puzzle ever. Thanks Marvella.
The potatoes are on the move!
I have heard that 3:00 am is called the bewitching hour, a blurred line between the living and the dead. This is not true. It is when puppies are fed, cleaned and snuggled down until 5:00 am. They take turns calling to the owls beyond the comfort of their bed. The concept of sleep does not exist. Excuse me tomorrow if I look dead.

FAQs About US
Hi everyone! Welcome to our Rescue Page. There are many questions that we get asked a lot, so I am adding this page to answer our most popular and most frequently asked questions. Thank you, Geri Addison, Assistant Director, Walking Home Together
What is our adoption fee and what does it cover? Our adoption fee is $200. It covers the pet’s spay/neuter surgery, micro-chip, vaccinations up to date for age including rabies, de-worming, flea prevention, and heart worm prevention if they are old enough. It also covers any medical treatment that the dog may have incurred prior to being put up for adoption. Some of our animals come to us with devastating injuries that may have cost us thousands of dollars to have treatment. Even if this is the case, the adoption fee NEVER goes up.
Do we have to fill out an application before visiting the dogs? YES. We do this so we can make sure that you are a good adopter. We check vet references, number of pets owned, etc... Our application is only one page, is very simple to fill out, and gives us invaluable information about you, your family, your pets, etc... The ONLY exception to this is if we are having an open “Meet and Greet” or are having an adoption event. Even then, you will be asked to fill out an application on site.
My child called to ask about dogs, and you would not talk to them. Yes, this is more of a statement than a question, but NO, we will not discuss an animal with a minor. Even if you are looking for a dog for your child, you need to realize that YOU are the one that is ultimately responsible for the animal. We do not adopt to minors, and if you are considering adopting from us, please have the courtesy to call us yourself.
Can we return our dog if things are not working out? The answer to this is yes, but you have 3 days to do it. It is unreal the calls we get from people who have had a dog a year or more that want to return a dog because of behavior issues. When you adopt from us, you are given a puppy packet that goes over training issues and other puppy care items. If you have had a dog from a puppy for over a year and they have behavioral issues, guess who’s fault it is? We will offer you solutions, suggest training, etc..., but we will not just say, “Ok, you failed to do what you said you were going to do, so we will take your problematic dog back after you have owned him for 3 years.” Not going to happen. We have other animals in our care that we have a responsibility to, and taking in your food aggressive, fence jumping or digging, ill behaved dog would not be fair to them.
If we see a dog that we want will you hold it for us? This is not a cut and dried situation. If you want a dog, and you arrange to come see it on Friday, but another person comes to see the dog on Tuesday and decides that they want the dog it is adopted to them. If we had a dollar for every person that said they were going to come and get a dog on Friday, but then never showed up to get said dog, we would not need to have fund raisers. Being in rescue it is our job to find our pups homes in a timely manner. The only exception to this is if you want to put down a deposit on a certain dog, because you know you want them, but you physically cannot pick them up until later. In these cases, if you are sure you want the dog, you can put down a $100 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. Yes, I said Non-refundable. If you do not pick the dog up on the agreed day, and someone else comes and sees the dog and cannot live without it, they will get the opportunity to adopt the dog, and you will forfeit your deposit and claim on the dog. Bottom line is, if you tell us you will be there Saturday morning at 10am to pick up your pet, then be there at 10am to pick up your pet. Our first and primary responsibility is finding the animal a safe home, and that is what we stick to.
Can you let us know if you get a “insert dog breed here” in? The answer to that question is no. We simply do not have the time or resources to keep up with who is wanting a certain breed of dog when we get one. You have to watch our page and see if we have whatever you are looking for.
What is Fido mixed with and how big will they get? The majority of the animals we get in come from animal control. Most of the time we do not know the environment from which they came, and there is no way for us to know what the parents were. We can make an educated guess as to what the dog is, but that is all it is. As far as size goes, Please don’t adopt a chihuahua from us, over feed it to the point of obesity, then accuse us of being dishonest in how big it will get or how much it will weigh when full grown. Also, we list EVERYTHING we know about the dog when we post it. Please don’t email us and ask about the background, parents, etc...If we don’t put it in the listing then it is an unknown. Plain and simple.
Also, please be advised that there is literally only 2 people who do the bulk of the work in this rescue. We WILL get to you email, question, etc...Please don’t email, private message, and blow the phone up. This only serves to slow the entire process down, and we have actual lives in the meantime. Please do not call, message, or email us at 9pm at night and expect us to answer right away. This IS our job. We do not get paid, and we deserve to have some down time just like you do from your regular job. The ONLY exception to this is if you have a true animal emergency and need help ASAP. For example, if you have a nursing mother and puppies, and the mother gets out and gets killed by a vehicle, if you are not versed in bottle feeding THAT constitutes a rescue emergency. Your personal dog barking at 2am because you leave it in the yard 24/7, and you cannot stand the barking any longer is NOT an emergency.
The bottom line is we are here for the animals in our care, and we are going to do what is best for them regardless.
