Story
Meet Winnie – Your Perfect Playmate and Snuggle Buddy! Winnie is an 8-pound ray of sunshine, ready to bring love and companionship to her forever home! Winnie is the ultimate go-with-the-flow dog—whether it’s going for a walk, playing with kiddos outside, or tagging along on family outings, she’s always ready to be part of the fun. She’s great with other dogs, loves playing with her toys, and is the happiest when she’s snuggled up on the couch after a fun-filled day. This smart girl is already showing how quick she is to learn! She sleeps soundly through the night in her crate, is doing great with potty training, and has mastered “sit” and “down.” She’s eager to keep learning and is ready to shine with a little guidance. Winnie would be a wonderful addition to a family who’s looking for a pup that’s equal parts playful and affectionate. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who’s always up for an adventure or a cuddle, Winnie can’t wait to meet you! 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)** If you are interested in any of our dogs, please visit https://releashatlanta.com/adoptable-dogs.php to either view more of their profile or to apply to adopt! If you have questions, please email adopt@releashatlanta.com Take a moment and like our Facebook Page for updates on our dogs and the first look at dogs coming into the program! www.facebook.com/releashatlanta Thank you!!

Story
Hi, I`m Mathias! I`m a fun mix of energetic and chill, ready to enjoy whatever life has to offer with my favorite people. I absolutely love going on walks and car rides, and I’m always eager to be by your side, whether it’s snuggling up with my foster mom or enjoying a snack of cheese (yum!). I do have a bit of a thing about other dogs—I tend to bark, lunge, and get pretty worked up when I see them, especially on walks. However, I’m a quick learner and really eager to please, so I think I can be trained to get along with the right doggie friends. I used to bark at my foster cat, but we’ve learned to coexist peacefully. My disposition is overall loving and sweet, so I know I can improve with the right guidance.When I meet new people, I’m super excited and interested! I love attention and affection, and I’ll happily give you kisses to show how much I care. I’m very affectionate and devoted, always seeking out pets and snuggles. My perfect family would be one where someone is often home because I don’t like being left alone. I’ve had a couple of surgeries due to bladder stones, so I need a family that’s committed to making sure I get my special food to keep those stones from coming back. If you`re looking for a loving, loyal companion who`s always ready to share his affection, I’d love to be part of your family!

Story
Hi there, I`m Layla! I`m a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to my energy level - I can be quite playful and energetic at times, but I also really enjoy my chill moments where I can just relax and take it easy.When it comes to meeting new people, I tend to be a little more reserved at first. It takes me a bit of time to warm up and feel comfortable around unfamiliar faces. But once I get to know you, I`m such a loving and affectionate girl! I really enjoy being petted, as long as it`s at my own pace.I actually have a furry best friend named Suki, who is a beagle. I absolutely adore her and love following her around everywhere she goes. We have so much fun playing and exploring together. As for other pets, I`m generally pretty good with them, as long as they`re respectful of my boundaries. I recently spent some time with cats, and I did very well with them! I gave them their space, and I know that I would do fine with cats in the future.My favorite things are toys - I`ll never turn down a good game of fetch or tug-of-war! And of course, I love my favorite people and treats. My least favorite things used to be wearing a harness and collar, but I`m getting much more comfortable with that now, and hopefully soon I will be able to walk on a leash all by myself! I may still get a little nervous about it at first, but I don`t even notice them once they`re on.What makes me so special is my affectionate nature once I`ve gotten to know you. I may take a little longer to warm up, but when I do, I`ll shower you with love and cuddles. I`m also just a generally happy and delightful pup who loves life.I think the ideal home for me would be one with at least one other dog, and patient humans who understand that I need a little extra time to feel secure. A fenced-in yard would be perfect since I can get a bit scared in new situations. But with time and love, I blossom into the most wonderful companion. If you have the time and space for a girl like me, I`d love to meet you!

Story
Her name is princess and I've had her since she was 4 weeks old. She's now about 10 years old. I've gotten a divorce and now I live with roommates and I work long hours and when I'm not home, she barks all day, and at night, when I work nights, disturbing my other roommates. She's a very loving and sweet dog and she just needs to be around people all the time. Because for many years, she was always used to me being home all the time. She gets along great with kids. She's very loving and sweet. I hate giving her up. But I think she needs to be in a home where she's not left so much by herself.

Or, how about these Chihuahuas in cities near Atlanta, Georgia

Story
❗Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ Meet Sunny with a story of miracles👋 Sunny was found on a street in South Korea at one year old in 2018 and taken to a high-risk shelter, but she was already in serious condition presumably caused by a car accident. Her pelvis was fractured, and her right hind leg bone was broken into pieces. She was saved from euthanasia by the rescue team and hospitalized for months (Jun-Sep 2018) due to the surgery and recovery. She was miraculously given a new life thanks to the rescue. That same year, after a few months of foster period, Sunny found a forever home, which was another miracle we thought of back then. Five years later, however, the rescue team got an unknown phone call requesting to change Sunny's ownership. Long story short, her family decided to give up on her after years, sent her to a pet shop, and paid them, all this without discussing it with the rescue team. This pet shop basically receives pets from owners and in turn, sells them out, and to do so with Sunny, they needed to have Sunny's ownership switched from the rescue team to the pet shop so they contacted the rescue team, and that’s how the rescue team learned Sunny's situation. Eventually, Sunny was able to safely return to her original rescue team, which is another miracle in her story. Despite all these setbacks, Sunny's sweet nature and zest for life shine bright. She needs one true chance to find her real forever family that loves her unconditionally. Recently, she has been moved to her foster home with two other dogs. Sunny is eagerly waiting for her own home now! • Personality: Sweet, Playful, Sociable Sunny thrives on love and affection and gets along with all people and furry friends, making her the perfect companion for anyone seeking a lovely and affectionate fur buddy. She is such a cuddle bug! She likes snuggly cushions and blankets. • Affinity with - Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs regardless of the size - Cats: Okay with street cats. She sometimes tries to chase kittens, but she stops when told. - Adults/Kids: Good with adults, especially elders including men / Okay with kids - not much interest in them. 💫She will be a perfect fit for most types of families! • Walking Manners: very good • Housetrained: fully housebroken, okay with both pee-pads and outdoors. • Separation Anxiety: None • Bathing/Brushing: very good • Barks/Howls: she barks when excited or when she wants something. • Car Rides: very good • Appetite/Food Allergies: No allergies • Shedding level (1~10): 5-6 • Health Issues: Due to the serious injuries that she got from an accident right before rescue, her pelvis is not perfectly placed (incomplete union of iliac) even after she had surgery immediately after being rescued. However, currently, she doesn’t show signs of pain when walking or running. If you have an open heart and a loving home for Sunny, please don't hesitate to apply!
