Story
Our handsome Boone was pulled right off the euthanasia list. He loved on his transporter the whole ride to us and has been the best boy! Boone is fully vetted, around 2 years old and weighs about 57lbs. He can be a little selective about who his dog friends are sometimes, but has done well with most of the dogs he’s met with us. We’re not best friends with every single person we meet either so, we get it buddy! He is crate trained and has completed basic obedience and will come with a free lesson for his adopters so they can learn all that he’s learned. Boone is looking for a home with no kids under 8 yrs old. 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!

Story
Our sweet Noah is another one who came to us after being let down his whole life. Back in the spring he was confiscated at an eviction and taken to a huge metro county shelter. He was pulled by a “rescue” who sadly only wanted him for his pledge money and then was dumped at a boarding facility. The people at the boarding facility fell in love with him, how could you not?!? Noah is fully vetted and has now completed obedience training with the people who advocated for him. He’s learned his doggy manners and his new adopters will get a free lesson so he can show off what he knows! He’s around 2 ish years old and weighs a little over 50lbs. Noah has done well with the dogs he’s met with us and has even met a dog savvy cat and done well! (please understand that these cats are very used to dogs. If a cat ran from him he would probably chase it just like most other dogs would). Noah is very food motivated and once he knows you’re the keeper of the snacks, he’s your new instant best friend! Noah hasn’t met any small children with us so for now at least we’re looking for a home with no small children. Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids!

Story
Cutie Pie is ready to start the search for her forever home! She is 12 weeks old and only weigh around 5-6lbs. We believe they’ll be under 20lbs full grown. She's being fostered in a home with other dogs and elementary school aged kids and are doing great! She could likely do okay with a very confident cat, but would definitely chase and bark at one that ran. While she's been started on potty training, it’s still a work in progress. So someone who will have patience and time to continue training is a must. She loves to cuddle and play and is guaranteed to bring the new family so much joy! Requirements - Someone who is home often or has a schedule that will allow for frequent potty breaks - A fenced in yard is a requirement at least for now as she is very new to leash walking - No small children Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids!

Story
The reindeer puppies are now accepting applications! These gorgeous babies – look at those eyes! – did not have the best start in life and were taken from a terrible situation by animal control. They came in sick, emaciated and skittish but we are happy to report they have blossomed with vetting and TLC. We do not know parentage but they are about two months old now and expected to be medium-sized adults. They are just getting started on potty training so are looking for a household where they can be let out frequently. They love other dogs and are very sweet, gentle puppies - we expect they would be just fine with children as long as they can handle them appropriately.

Story
Lucy is ready to find her forever home! This beautiful 3ish yo, 36lb Poodle is the total package—sweet, loving, and absolutely adorable! Lucy thrives on human connection and lights up whenever she’s around people. She likes to be close to her people as much as she can. She’s also great with other dogs, making her a wonderful addition to a home with a canine companion or as a solo pup soaking up all the love and attention. She needs a home with a fenced yard. She hasn't been around any kids or cats in foster care but we think she would be fine with kids over 5 yo. Lucy’s playful yet gentle nature makes her the perfect match for someone looking for a loyal, affectionate companion. Whether she’s cuddling by your side, enjoying some playtime, or just being her cheerful self, Lucy is sure to bring endless joy to your life. Lucy is waiting patiently for a family to call her own. Could that be you? Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids!
