Story
All Southern Crescent Canine Rescue pets are spayed or neutered, all vaccinations are up to date, heartworm negative, and microchipped. We suggest follow-up intestinal worming two weeks after adoption.  We require monthly heartworm preventive after adoption!Rose is one of the best dogs you'll ever meet!  She is housebroken and crate-trained.  Great on the leash.  Great with other dogs her size, and children of all ages, and loves everybody she meets!  She is happy and that happiness is contagious, you can't be in a bad mood around her!  She is a perfect family dog or a companion for a single person. She is a year old, and weighs about 50 pounds.  We consider her perfect, and once you meet her, you'll see why!                                   'We Are Rescue' Until you have held a tiny puppy in your arms as it kissed your face with slobbery puppy breath and felt the love, Until you have held an injured or severely ill dog in your arms and felt their pain, Until you have looked into the eyes of a tired aging senior dog and felt their wisdom, And until you have seen and understood the look in your dogs eyes that tell you their time on earth with you is over .... and you humanely let them go, You will never understand the life of a rescuer. We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places and the otherwise homely faces. It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness and defeat and find the true soul that lies within.

Story
Maya was a stray until recently. She found us and we had her scanned for a chip. She comes from the Macon, Ga area was re-homed at some point but the new owner cannot be contacted (phone and e-mail no longer work). Maya is a SWEET dog. She’s over 2 years old, house broken, and very affectionate. She is good with adults and kids. Maya has a lot of energy so she needs a yard for exercise. We need to find her a permanent loving home because we have 4 adopted dogs and 4 adopted cats. Maya gets along great with the other dogs. She plays with them and is really good with male and female pets. She does not like cats though. She chases our cats, but never cornered one. We are not sure what she would do if she caught one. Maya would do well as a single dog or other dogs. She likes to play so a yard or close by park would be ideal. she is as sweet of a dog as i’ve ever been around. The only reason we need to rehome her is we already have so many pets we are taking care of.

Story
Enola is a charismatic and outgoing bully mix dog who spreads joy wherever she goes. This poor abandoned girl obviously had puppies at some time, but there were none around; she was alone. Enola is Alone spelled backwards. The good news is her affectionate nature makes her a  kennel favorite among staff and volunteers. Enola's exuberance for life is contagious, and she's always ready to shower everyone with her abundant love. Enola is a bundle of energy and thrives on staying active and engaged. Her love for play knows no bounds, and she's enthusiastic about any game or toy you throw her way. Fetch is her ultimate favorite; she'd chase a ball or a frisbee all day if she could! Long walks are also a highlight of her day, as they offer ample opportunities to explore the world and interact with people and other dogs. One of Enola's endearing traits is her ability to express her opinions clearly. She's not afraid to vocalize her thoughts and feelings, using adorable barks and whines to communicate. It's almost like she's trying to have a conversation with her human companions! This expressive nature adds an extra layer of charm to her already lovable personality. Enola is an eye-catching beauty with a short creamy-colored coat that gleams under the sunlight. Her sleek and muscular physique gives her a sturdy and confident appearance. The most captivating feature of her face is her large, dark, expressive eyes that can melt anyone's heart with a single glance. Whether she's excited, happy, or in need of some extra cuddles, her eyes say it all. Enola is up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped and on prevention. If you would like to meet Enola, please go to http://dollygoodpuppy.org/adoptable-dogs/. This will take you to our online application. File out, submit and come meet this beauty.  ##1785978##
