Commerce, GA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We got Ruby Red as a baby. She is a good dog who loves to take walks and be lazy in the couch! She was raised around kids and cats and other dogs. Due to taking in a disabled family member, we had to put her outside during the day time and it's been hard for her to adjust. She thinks she a lap dog and doesn't realize her size. She has been staying outside in a dog pen during the day time and sleeps in a crate at night. She is very lovable and gets along with our other dog. She is a coonhound so she has that howl.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We call him Marlow. He is maybe around 9 months to a year old. He is a beautiful gold and brown brindle pit bull or possibly a cane corso. His ears had been trimmed but his tail left intact. He had been neutered. Physically he is in great health, he did not have any fleas or ticks. He is an extremely sweet dog. Also extremely smart. He is very dedicated and loyal as he follows my mother around everywhere, even unleashed outside. He loves to cuddle with people and sleep on the couch. He is scared of anyone wearing a hoodie. He also had a persistent hoarse cough and possibly some joint pain in his jaw. However, the vet has given him a clean bill of health after inspecting him specifically for signs of injury. We got him a rabies shot. We love Marlow very much, he is a special boy. I have had dogs my whole life and I can honestly say he is the sweetest and smartest one I've met. He seems to do well with other dogs, but chases cats.

Sugar

English (Redtick) Coonhound German Shorthaired Pointer

Female, Adult

Braselton, GA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sugar is the most loving dog in the world. She will smile for treats, bury her head into you, and cuddle all day long if given the chance. Unfortunately she has not always had the best life. Me and my wife took her in from a family that found her at the beginning of 2023. Wherever she came from before them she was very abused. Her tail has a place towards the end that looks to have previously been broken, she has had anxiety when it comes to rain and thunder, and she also has hip dysplasia. A few months ago sugar was sleeping at the foot of the bed when my wife went to go pet her goodnight. Unfortunately sugar was startled or her hips were bothering her and she started snapping at my wife. My wife is also pregnant and we are looking for a new home for sugar due to not wanting any risks with our soon to be newborn. Sugar is a wonderful, loving, and caring dog and would make a great addition to a family, preferably without other dogs or kids, given the chance.

Happy

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Braselton, GA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Happy came to us as a gift from a friend of my husband, and the connection was instant — once Happy saw him, he refused to leave his side. He has been part of our family ever since. Happy is extremely friendly and patient with everyone: babies, kids, adults, cats, and even strangers. He loves cuddles, gives kisses, and enjoys being wherever his people are. He’s well-behaved, doesn’t destroy things, and can stay home alone without anxiety. Happy does have a funny quirk — he’s very curious about the world. If a door is left open, he takes it as an invitation to go explore the neighborhood like he’s on a self-guided tour. He doesn’t run away on purpose; he just loves adventures and then has no idea how to find his way back. So yes, he will need a family who keeps doors and gates closed… unless they want him hosting a travel vlog. He isn’t a guard dog at all. If a stranger walked in, Happy would probably wag his tail and show them around. His personality is pure love.
