My story

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

She Ain’t Nothing But a Hound Dog   Oh, but not true – She is VERY HAPPY hound dog, with a tail that never quits waving "hi". She's never met a stranger and loves every human and canineshe meets. Born in December 2022, Erin has stopped growing but still has a lot of puppy playfulness in her. Weighing in at 50 lbs and standing tall with the long legs of a Radio City Rockette, she absolutely loves engaging other dogs in play and would thrive in a home with another like-minded, high-energy buddy.  Great with mid to older kids, but probably not best for the toddlers, just because of her not understanding they are not play buddies. No known exposure to the feline world, so..?  Erin likes to sing the song of her people when she plays, so she probably would not be appreciated in a community housing environment. 



In May of 2024, Erin had an ulnar osteotomy of the left front leg to help stabilize incongruity from an untreated puppy injury. Deemed 100% successful by her UGA team, it saved the leg and allows Erin to romp and play, within reason, but she will likely need support meds the rest of her years to offset occasional discomfort/overuse/stiffness from big adventure days.



Erin is a proud graduate from a board and training program at Rucker Dog Training in Cumming, GA. She knows the basic dog commands of: Name, Heel, Sit, Place, Come, Down, Off, Drop, and Free both on and off leash. Exercising her skills has been instrumental in teaching her focus, direction, and the ability to channel her lovable energy and happiness into pleasing her person. Erin holds a lifetime of free Rucker advanced group training classes that will transfer to her adopter. Her foster family finds her daily practice time fun for both her and them,and it’s rewarding to see her shine.



Erin is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, potty trained, and crate trained.  All of this and her adoption donationis just $350. Many videos available. Erin is fostered in the Gainesville, GA area.

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.
