Story
This is our sweet boy Finnick. We found him about a year ago without a home, and too sweet to not take in. We are unsure of his age, we assumed he was around a year when we found him but have not noticed any significant growth or change in his youthful personality in the time that we’ve cared for him. Finnick is an extremely sweet, loving boy that ourselves and our neighbors have quickly grown to love and care about. He is through and through an outside boy, rain or shine, who thrives best when he is allowed and able to roam freely during the day and come home for a nice warm bed and food in the afternoon/evening. He is also extremely loyal. The boy simply loves love and craves any and all forms of affection. He has been amazing with our dogs - very submissive if you already have a dominant male - as well as cats and with kids. I’m not sure who will miss him more, us or our other pets. Simply just looking for a good, loving home who can give him the attention and care he deserves.

Story
In 2024, Freddie was found abandoned on the side of the road (with her whole family [7]. ) Born at the end of March, shes almost a year, and as sweet as ever! The last of the litter and the smallest of the bunch! Her siblings have gone to loving homes but we will not give up on the search for hers. She's been primarily an outside dog and needs a safe secure place with loving parent(s). She is CRATE TRAINED and needs a real home. Shes super spunky! Especially when she sees familiar faces or food. She can sit and listen to commands. We know her family is still looking for her too❤️

Story
Hi! This is Quito she is a Rottie-Shar Pei mix. She is 6 years old. She is my father’s dog and we’ve had her for about 6 years. She is very sweet but due to her breed she can be a bit snappy towards other pets. She prefers to be by herself and would be better off in a single pet home. She did grow up with a few cats and another dog who is no longer with us. I have been moved out of my parents’ home for quite some time now and unfortunately my dad has gotten sick recently and can no longer take care of her. My apartment also doesn’t allow any pets so I won’t be able to take her either. We just want the best for her and she deserves more than we can give her. She would make such a great companion to someone who loves dogs.

Story
Meet OJ, the sweetest cuddler that ever lived. He will steal your heart (and your sofa) with one look. His birthday is March 26, 2019. He was my sister’s baby first, but sadly she passed away and OJ has been with me ever since. I want nothing more than to give this big baby the best home. It breaks my heart to part with him, but he doesn’t get along with one of my dogs. He gets along with some dogs and not others and so I feel that he would thrive in a home as an only pet. He should not be in a home with cats. He is excellent with kids. My toddlers climb all over him and love on him. He just wants all the pets and rubs. He’s very patient and docile with kids. OJ’s favorite things are all things food, chew toys, comfy beds and blankets, cuddles, belly rubs and scratches, whipped cream (he comes running when he hears the can), and time outside catching a frisbee or going for walks. If you are looking for a companion and a best friend, you found his profile.

Story
Lexie is a tricolored female Beagle mix that grew up in a tough part of town. Besides the elderly man that took her under his wing, the other neighborhood residents were not very kind to her. Lacking resources to properly care for them and fearing for their safety, he reached out to us for help. Fortunately, we were able to bring her into our rescue. At first, Lexie was understandably wary of volunteers. It has been a journey gaining her trust. With patience and love, our volunteers showed her not all people were bad and soon won her over. She has really blossomed during her time with us. Lexie was born in 2019 and weighs 20 pounds. She is a good fit for an adult or family with teenage children that are home most of the day. She takes comfort in knowing you are near. Lexie prefers a quiet calm home where she can putter around and relax with the family. Visitors should be few as she is wary of strangers. She doesn’t expect you to fuss over her but does enjoy a soft pat on the head. Lexie enjoys when you talk to her as you do things around the house. She does well on a set schedule and a routine gives her a sense of security. Another calm confident dog in the home would be a good companion for her. Outdoor rest breaks are limited at the shelter, so she may need more work to be fully housebroken. A home with a fenced-in backyard is a must. Lexie prefers exploring and running outdoors over going on walks. On sunny days, Lexie likes to sprawl out in the grass and catch a few rays. Shy sweet Lexie is searching for a family that will give her a wonderful life. We hope that will be with you!To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved. Due to the high volume of applications received, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet.
