Story
So apparently we are Georgia peaches :) I mean, we r named after Georgia cities :0 And of course, Georgia is known for their peaches and their starry skies... and we agree that we are just like them! Our story starts much like so so many others in the south.... we were dumped at about 8 weeks old in a median and boy were we scared!! Luckily the lady who found and saved us was going to the exact location daily to feed/water and try to catch two adult dogs who had been hanging out there for almost a year :( SO, she was very very persistent and got the rescue to take us and we were caught and brought straight to the rescue... and we have been here ever since. Our foster mom has been working hard to get us more comfortable with people and being held and loved and we have made LOTS of progress!! We each have our own personality, much like the cities we are named after...... Savannah is a gorgeous blonde peach, she has a shyness to her but once she knows who you are her sweet ways will win you over :) Wrens is sister number two, she is a tall glass of sweet tea, dark tea colored with a playful and silly demeanor. She wants to be loved and is learning to express that more every day... and FINALLY Tybee is the little brother, he looks pretty different than his sisters so we call him the brother from another mister :) Ty Ty is a really really sweet lowrider who loves to be kind of naughty at times (he drags his foster mom's shoes in the yard all the time!!) Any one of these pups would be fantastic, each one will be best with another dog in the house- a calm and confident dog to play with them and to help them acclimate to their new homes :) Don't wait too long, these three are really really Southern pups who will charm their way into somebody's hearts ;) Hopefully yours! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, I’m Chai. I was minding my own business running around the neighborhood until I came across this one house that had all the good treats. Suddenly this lady said something about rescuing me because there was a freeze coming and I didn’t trust her at first, I was so scared. I decided to play hard to get, it took her like 5 days to gain my trust. Finally I decided it was time to see what she had to offer. Now I’m having the time of my life. I have fur brothers and sisters that keep me company, I even have a human sister that’s just a baby. I’m so gentle with her and my foster mom says I’m a natural around infants. I spend my days sleeping on the couch and doing zoomies in the backyard. I’m working on my confidence right now and I’m a little shy but I promise I warm up fast. I’m scared of unfamiliar things but my foster parents are going to keep working with me. I’m fully potty trained, crate trained, and have good manners. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hayley is an energetic and affectionate dog. She is almost 10 (April birthday). She loves physical touch and will often try to sit on your lap or nuzzle you when you pet her. She will always be excited to see you when you get home. She gets anxious in loud, busy spaces and would benefit from a calm environment. We think a quieter home with no children or older kids would be a better fit than younger children. We would love to see her rehomed with someone that has the time and energy to take her on walks and give her snuggles and affection.
