Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This huge pup is beautiful, sweet and needs a lot of room to run! He has been given refuge by the lady who found him and he's a lot for her to handle. He does crate beautifully, he's been neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchiped. Our trainer has been working with him to stop jumping and he's learning fast. He needs a big yard and to be able to work some of his energy off. Otherwise he is the sweetest, goofy, water loving Newfoundland pup!

Sasha

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 5 yrs 11 mos

Rossville, GA

Size

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

Details

Story

Sasha came to us during a severe cold snap last December. She was lost but she was more lost than we knew. We found the people responsible for her but they no longer wanted her. Sasha had belonged to a man she had spent her entire life with. Unfortunately he had died. She was then given to his brother and sister in law who just threw her outside into a pen. Sasha easily escaped but she was properly secured because they didn't want her to begin with. We can tell from the things Sasha likes to do that her person did everything with her. She loves to ride, share meals, sleep on the couch and just pal around with her person. Right now she is having to live in our outside kennel alone in a run. She is very unhappy but has settled into a routine. Sasha is not a fan of other dogs or cats. She got out the other day and went next door to swim in the ducks pool. She didn't bother the duck or the chickens fortunately. She would be a great companion for an over the road truck driver, single older man or couple. She loves everyone she meets and happy to go along with just about anything your doing. Sasha is being treated for heartworm disease and we hope to see her negative within the next couple of months. Her treatment has been done all ready and she would just need to continue on prevention as all dogs should.

Annabelle

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, 1 yr 7 mos

Rossville, GA

Size

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

Details

Story

Annabelle has been lucky enoughv to have been in a top notch board and train program for a month! Annabelle was found with her brother max out in the country. We found her owner who had given her away when she was just 12 weeks old with her brother, and their new owner then dumped them. Annabelle seems to be a little reactive towards other dogs at first. But after a day or two she does warm up to her surroundings and other dogs and is the most playful and loving dog you could ever ask for! When they were found, another dog was chasing them and they were afraid for their lives. She is great with kids, loves water and will love your other fur babies if you let her get used to them over a day or so!! She has a BIG personality and loves attention!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Petra was used to breed puppies on the most disgusting property we've ever seen. We were allowed to remove her and another rescue removed 2 litters of puppies. Petra had never been on leash, had a collar on or bonded with a human! It took 2 hours of patiently waiting and her alligator rolling all over the trash covered yard to get her in the car. Once I got her secured inside the kennel, I gave her 2 weeks to decompress before I ever reached out to touch her. It paid off in spades! She sat and closed her eyes, drinking the love I was sending her. That night as I sat inside the kennel with her door open, she came and rested her majestic head in my hands. It was the most profound experience I've ever had with a dog. Unfortunately after she was here and eating twice a day, nutritious food, she began to put on weight rapidly. The mobile vet came out and confirmed our worst fear, she was pregnant and heartworm positive! We made the appointment to have her spade. We typically do not have puppies in rescue if we are aware soon enough to get the mother spade. We took her and it was decided she was about 48 hrs from delivering and with her heartworm status and her size, it would be dangerous. We came back and prepared to welcome puppies. Just 4 days later she had 11 beautiful puppies, 7 of which survived and thrived! We knew dad was a solid black Shepard and she had 5 white, like her and 2 black and tan. They are beautiful and all adopted by the time they were 8 wks old and ready to leave mom and siblings. As soon as she was an empty nester we moved forward with treating her heartworms. We chose to use the slow kill method, she received the Pro-Heart 12 injection and 30 days of Doxycycline. She should be free of heartworms by the 6 month mark. She is currently in the middle of her 30 days of Doxy. Petra has the most beautiful soul of any dog I've had the pleasure to spend time with in my 15 years working in animal welfare. She now wears a collar but isn't super comfortable with being on leash. She will get there, I have zero doubts! She is absolutely brilliant and has the sweetest personality. She is the definition of what a Shepard should be! The white Shepherds are more docile and the females are known to be larger than the traditional GSD Petra is a fit 90lbs! Her new home will require someone that is willing to be patient and work with her. I know if I didn't have 15 other dogs to care for we would have already jumped any hurdles she has remaining. She has never lived inside but I know she will quickly understand the benefits!
