Story
My name is Whiskey 7-year-old mixed Lab neutered who needs a new home. I was rescued from my old owner 6 years ago. I can no longer stay in my current home. I keeps escaping from our fenced-in backyard. Its multiple locations due to the neighbor trees growing into our fence. I live with three other dogs all females they don’t escape. I also live with 4 cats along with toddlers 2 and 1 year old. I love to lick the babies and am good with them. The cats I couldn’t care less about most of the time;s . Occasionally I will chase them when they start fighting with each other. I’m terrified of thunder, gunshots and fireworks. My owner has had no luck trying on her own to find me a home. She is terrified I will be hit by a car. I did get in trouble the other day for going under the fence. Grandsons pet tortoise was in a kennel outside grazing in the grass and I attacked the cage going after the turtle. I don’t t mind cats and dogs, but I don’t know what that thing was.

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.

Story
Luella was nearly full term in her pregnancy when she was abandoned at a local animal shelter. The shelter contacted us and we quickly sent one of our volunteers to pick her up. Luella spent several weeks in a foster home where she gave birth to two tiny puppies. Her puppies have long since been adopted, however Luella has yet to find her forever home.  This small shy Chihuahua mix prefers the company of women and is fearful of men. Luella would do best in a quiet home with someone that is home most of the day. An independent pup, she just needs to know you are near, not fond of being picked up or cuddled. Give her a good meal and a warm bed and she is perfectly content. Most of her day is spent just following you around the house or taking naps. The perfect roommate, she will listen to your troubles for hours and never complain. Luella is housebroken and enjoys having a fenced-in backyard she can explore. She had access to a doggy door in her foster home and enjoyed the freedom of being able to come and go as she pleased. Luella can be snippy with other dogs, but does do well with cats. If you’re looking for a small quiet companion that is easy to care for, Luella would be a good choice. Don't pass up this sweet, loyal pup.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.

Story
Asher and Opal are shy Labrador/Beagle mixes looking for a special angel to give them the home they have never known. Most of their previous life was spent outside without much human interaction. Now that they have come into our care, all have blossomed. Asher is 5 years old and the mother of four year old daughter Opal. Both are medium sized dogs and weigh less than thirty pounds. This is a bonded tight-knit family that loves each other very much. Asher, and Opal do best when they are together. Consequently, we hope to adopt them to the same family. These pups are looking for a simple life with a family that enjoys life in the slow lane. They need a calm quiet household without a lot of people coming and going. An adult home or one with older children would be best. These girls are really very sweet but quite timid and reserved. They are perfectly content to go about their day as you do whatever it is you need to do. Most of the time, you will find them curled up together for a nap or taking turns with a chew toy. They are quiet, well behaved, and housebroken if kept on a schedule. None are really into walks, but they will follow you out nicely to their own fenced in backyard. They love running around together and spending some time outside exploring. They are great with other dogs. A good meal, a warm bed, and a soft gentle voice to tell them they are loved are all they require. They really are quite easy to please. If you have room in your family for these dogs, please consider Asher and Opal. It would really warm our hearts to see them in a forever home of their own.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.

Story
Bart is a reserved 11 year old Jack Russell/Cattle dog mix. In his 11 years, this wise man has seen a lot. He is his own judge of character. Prefers a quiet and calm life. He now shares our lobby with several other friendly, playful pups and he does well. He hangs around to meet new adopters and guests. Might say hello to some or might just walk away. We know he has a crush on our Executive Director. A home including a male would be good. He does well with others when he can approach on his terms. Another dog in the home would be great. Might take Bart a minute to settle in, however, we believe with patience, love, kindness, the trust will come. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.
