Story
This handsome, scruffy boy is McTavish! He arrived at the shelter as a lost dog on 3/14, and sadly, no one has come to reclaim him. McTavish is now keeping his paws crossed for a new, forever home where he will be loved and kept safe so that he never ends up back in the shelter. The volunteers describe McTavish as super sweet and attentive. He walks nicely on leash and will sit when asked. McTavish is a young adult, and he weighs 53 lbs. He is UTD on vaccines, has been neutered, and did test negative for heartworms. He will be microchipped upon adoption. Please come meet McTavish in kennel 47; his ID # is 17552. Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers. If this cat or dog came in as a lost animal, we do not know how they might be with children, other pets, or if house trained. You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When inquiring about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER. This pet is available for adoption from Cobb County Animal Services, 1060 Al Bishop Dr. Marietta, GA 30008, (770) 499-4136. Shelter hours: Tues. - Sun. 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Mondays & Holidays. The adoption includes shots, altering, a heartworm or combo test and a microchip.

Story
This sweet boy with the beautiful eyes is Ace! He was surrendered to the shelter on 3/17 because his family was moving, and sadly, he couldn't join them. His former family did note that Ace is house-trained, good with children, and good with cats and dogs! If you're looking for a dog that checks ALL the boxes, Ace is your boy! The volunteers describe him as friendly and attentive. He is calm and quiet inside his kennel, and he enjoys getting outside for his daily walks. Ace will sit nicely when asked. Ace is approximately 4 years old, and weighs 34 lbs. He is UTD on vaccines, has been neutered and microchipped, and did test negative for heartworms. Please come meet Ace in kennel 859; his ID # is 17606. Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers.

Story
Beautiful 1-year-old female Pit Bull looking for a loving home. She is very playful, affectionate, and full of energy, but also loves cuddles and attention. She enjoys running, playing with toys, and being around people. She has a sweet temperament, is very social, and does well with adults and children. She is still young and eager to learn, so she would benefit from continued training and an active family who can give her time and structure. She would do best in a home that understands the breed and can provide exercise, consistency, and lots of love. She will make a loyal, fun, and loving companion. ✅ crate trained 👌mostly house trained (have accidents occasionally) Serious inquiries only — looking for a responsible, forever home.
