My story

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

BUGSY IN THE MIDDLE



Not big/not small (30lbs); not a puppy/not an aged senior (8); not vocal absent/not a barker; not with a forever family/not homeless (fostered)…in the middle.  He has been hoping for his own person for almost a year now.   



Bugsy came to us cowering in corners and under tables from whatever happened during his 7 years with the “family” who ultimately dumped him. His decompression time surpassed the norm; he had withdrawn into his own little world. But time, patience, and his natural curiosity and desire to be included eventually won out, and once he warms up, happy tail prevails. Bugsy can be quiet, timid, playful and running zoomies all within an hour’s time. Zero aggression or resource guarding, zero destruction. Very sweet, but because of past abuse, lacks confidence and can be sensitive to voice tone. Living compatibly with 2 other dogs (shelter said no kitties), walks well on a leash and good in a crate. Gives the softest little kisses, will fall asleep during a belly rub, has been known to put a gentle paw on a knee when ignored too long.



Available thru Dirt Road Doggies Rescue. Current on vetting; neutered; chipped.

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.
