Story
Meet Colby Jack! Colby is a happy 4 year old Jack RussellBoxer mix. Colby adores being with his people especially when he gets lots of cuddles. He leans into your leg when he's getting lovies and shows you his big smile! Colby enjoys hanging out with laid back dogs. He and his foster sister, Elly, enjoy rambling around the backyard finding new things to sniff.  He weighs approximately 35lbs which is a good, manageable size for your lap!. He loves to play with humans but may be a bit too playful for toddlers or younger children. He’s crate trained but it is not his favorite place to be. He walks well on a leash and would make a great hiking or running buddy. Colby spent the first year of his life on a chain and has really blossomed into a very loving dog who craves attention. We think Colby would do best with a family that doesn't live in a congested area with lots of noise and has another dog to play with. He doesn't care for delivery trucks entering his domain or lots of strangers. Colby is very smart but craves attention and stong leadership, He really needs a strong pack leader to help him along his journey. . He passed his professional obedience training with flying colors so he already knows the basics. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. Colby is available for adoption at www.dirtroaddoggiesrescue.org         ##1087310##

Story
    Sugar Plum is an approximately 8-9 month-old Hound mix. She was apparently hit by a car when she was younger but was not treated. After being rescued, her leg needed to be amputated due to the damage, but this little girl is doing great. Based on her behavior now, you can see how uncomfortable she must have been.  Sugar Plum was too thin when rescued, but she is now 32 pounds, a healthy weight. She loves to take walks and play (you wouldn't know she is a tripod). Sugar is very much a   big puppy and is making up for her lost puppyhood. She’s very smart and sweet but had little to no prior training. But now, she is house-trained and crate-trained, though she isn't a fan of the crate. She is also learning to walk on a leash and is still working on that. She now knows commands like sit, down, paw, and, if lucky, a short stay. She loves meeting new people and car rides. Sugar Plum does like children, but because of her size, energy, and being a big puppy, only older children should be considered.  Sugar is a good watchdog. Hence, she’ll bark at anything she hears, and, sometimes, when she’s had enough crate time. So no apartments or condos for her. Her  ideal home will be with an active family, where she can take long walks and has a fenced yard. She also loves to lie in the sun and would love to have another dog playmate. She wants to play with other dogs so badly, but she is still learning how to play. She was able to get her foster mom's grumpy, 12-year-old pup to play with her,  There is also some separation anxiety, so another dog would be helpful. She also needs an adopter who has dog experience and understands she needs further training and patience.  She’s truly a great dog with a lot of good qualities who just needs someone to help her grow up.           An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          January 28, 2025, 9:59 am

Story
    Brookie Cookie is one super sweet baby. Some of her puppy shenanigans are going away but believe me she still has a lot, which makes her perfect. She loves toys of all kinds and can entertain herself in a pinch. She is crate trained and is potty trained if kept on a schedule. Leash walking is unknown at this time.     Her perfect home would have a young dog to teach her the ropes or a patient puppy savvy family. Expect some barking and nipping that a baby brings. She shouldn’t be left alone for longer than 4 hours since she needs socialization and trips outside to potty.   Stay tuned for updates to her journey. If you believe you are her perfect fit, please send your application in. An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.

Story
Meet Honey Honey was named because she is as sweet as Honey! This young pup is an absolute love! Honey was at risk of euthanasia due to over-crowding. We rescued Honey, her mate Scout and another beauty named Dot. They are all safe at our no-kill shelter. We fell in love with Honey from the moment we saw her interactions with people, other dogs, and kitties! She loves them all. Honey is a gorgeous mixed breed – maybe Boston, maybe Jack Russell, it’s so hard to know. Honey is on the small side at eight months she’s only 31 lbs. She may top out at 35 lbs, but she is small and compact. She has a gorgeous fawn colored short coat, tall-standing ears, an alert and intelligent face and an athletic physique. She is stunning! Honey is friendly, affectionate, silly, fun-loving, calm, quiet, gentle, athletic, smart and sooooo sweet. Honey LOVES people, dogs and kitties. Every interaction is fun and she has an open and sociable personality. She walks well on a leash. She loves hiking, and playing with toys. Honey loves her mate Scout and will be adopted with her. Honey likes to travel and hike. She’d do great for those adventures out to wineries and cafes. She’ll love to curl up with her people on a comfy couch or a sunny porch. Hard to believe that someone let Honey go, because she is a keeper. We are smitten with this girl and know that you will be too. If interested in Honey and Scout, please submit a dog application online at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org Please call our shelter at 706-865-4135 or email us at smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net to let us know to be on the lookout. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out of state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals. Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted.
