My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rico is a 9-month-old Staffordshire mix. Currently weighs about 73 pounds and will likely grow another 10-15 pounds, per his vet. He has the sweetest disposition toward adults and children; and loves any opportunity to play with other dogs. He’s extremely affectionate to family and strangers alike; approaching everyone with a giant smile on his face.

He loves his long morning and evening walks; enjoys a couple 20 minute sessions of rigorous outdoor play; spending the rest of his days on your lap or by your feet. He is house trained, and completed his basic obedience training at Best Buddies Dog training. Currently working on leash training. He’s crate trained and sleeps 10 – 12 hour at night, and a 3 hour nap every day.

He's all up to date on his shots, neutered, and microchipped.

His forever family needs to be willing to play and go on long walks each day – he loooves his long walks!! Apply to adopt this sweet boy today!!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a four part process.

Application: You will be required to submit general information along with personal and vet references.

Home visit: Potential adopters will receive a home visit by one of our members.

Meet -n- Greet: All family members (fur babies included) must meet the foster parent and pup they wish to adopt.

Here at Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, each adoption contribution is a flat rate per dog. We do not adjust this rate based on the "popularity" of a dog. We believe every dog is worthy of an owner that sees the value in them. Each adoption contribution is used to cover the expenses incurred for that dog and other dogs in our program.

Go meet their pets

Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, INC is located in the quaint town of Gillsville, in the foothills of the Georgia Mountains, just south of Gainesville. Our rescues are fostered in loving homes located in Hall, Jackson, and neighboring counties.

More about this rescue

We are a small canine rescue group located in Northeast Georgia that works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, fully vet, and re-home faithful dogs that have been tossed out of cars onto rural roads. We are a registered, 501c3 tax deductible Non Profit Rescue and we are licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture

All dogs in our program have been previously reported to animal control to ensure they were not lost pups who had a family diligently looking for them. We do not turn a dog away due to breed, health concerns, or age. It is our goal to keep these dogs out of animal shelters, thus saving their lives and providing more time to the dogs already in shelters to find their forever family.
