My story

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

REQUIREMENTS: No children under 8

Hello beautiful people! Joy here stopping in to give you all the facts. I’m a young lady, maybe 1ish, who is 7 pounds of pure JOY! I haven’t met a person yet that I didn’t love. My house manners are on point and going potty outside is not a problem. I just need someone to keep me on a schedule. Little bladder=frequent breaks.

I’m living with several other dogs right now who are all much bigger than me and I don’t mind it until they try to wrestle with me. I’m 7lbs, they are 30…not happening, friend. For the most part, they are all gentle and let me do a decent amount of bossing them around.
My foster mom says I’m a tripping hazard. It’s just because I want to be first wherever we are going… except I don’t always know where we are going, so I run circles around her feet. Good thing she is stable on her toes or this could be a problem.

And let me go ahead and get this out of the way…If you are looking for a snuggle buddy who is going to curl up in your lap all day long, keep scrolling cause you got the wrong girl. I’m a mover and a shaker and love a good time.

I’m okay with kids but I’m tiny and remember the tripping hazard thing? So littles may not be the best fit. And I love to explore outside, so really loooong leash walks or a fenced yard would be totally awesome.

Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids! Adopting from Releash Atlanta means you will adopt a dog that has been fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and medically cleared!! While we make our best guesses, we often don’t know what breeds our kiddos are made of. We cannot guarantee our guesses will always be right but CAN guarantee they are 100% good dogs! Our adoption fee is $350.

**We only adopt to families in/around Atlanta, Ga (about a 1-2 hour perimeter)**

Additional adoption info

The apps are submitted and intensely screened for general approval by a phone interview and vet check. Once approved it is sent to the foster to see if it is a match for their foster dog where another interview takes place. If both agree it seems like a good fit. A meet is scheduled where the whole potential family and any current pets meet the foster and foster dog. A home check is done. Then once both agree it is in fact a good fit, they will sign a contract, pay a fee and take the dog home that day if the foster likes, or the next day so both parties can sleep on it to make sure it's right.

More about this rescue

We are 100% volunteer run rescue saving dogs from high kill shelters throughout the state of Georgia. We do not discriminate breeds, health concerns, injury, illness or surgical need. We save all ages, sizes, breeds, etc. Once saved - they are sent straight to the vet to be fully examined, have any health concerns addressed and cleared and then sent to the foster home for evaluation. Once evaluated, we come up with a bio to determine their best fit for a forever home.
