Story
If you're into lowriders, Pokey might just be your guy. He's on the small side, 17 lbs., has the short legs of a dachshund and the cute face of a chihuahua. He's trained to use a doggie door and housetrained! Pokey came in with his brother Gumby when their owners lost their home. He came to live with us while he waits on his perfect new family. He is shy, and a bit afraid of new people. A home with a fenced yard will help with socializing Pokey. He need leash training, but with a yard would give him the confidence to go straight out.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.

Story
Leaving the only home she had ever known at 8 years-old was upsetting for Izee, but it took her only a day or two to settle in to her new foster home and show what a wonderfully resilient gal she is. Friendly, well-mannered, and oh-so-playful, Izee has really won everyone's heart, both human and canine. Since she absolutely loves going for walks and checking out all the fascinating scents of the neighborhood, she gives thumbs up to her new exercise routine that we expect to take her from her current 31 lbs. down to a more healthy 25 lbs. or so. Of course diet is also part of the new regimen, and thankfully she isn't too agitated about her lower rations; she eats quickly but then doesn't pester for more nor try to invade her foster brother's bowl. It's hard to tell what Izee loves the most: getting butt scratches, playing catch or tug-of-war, wrestling with her foster brother, or a leisurely snooze on the couch. All of these activities add great contentment to her life, and she is hoping for a new home where she gets plenty of all. You'll appreciate her great house manners and reliable house-training, as well as her easy-going nature upon meeting newcomers (once she has barked at them at the door, of course). At night she'd love to snuggle in your bed with you, but if you prefer to sleep dog-free, she will spend the night in a crate or on a nearby dog bed. Izee's only significant issue is a skin allergy. Her former home controlled the itch with intermittent prescription Apoquel (about $10/week), but we are currently seeing some good results with a switch in diet and some OTC topical meds. If you can recognize Izee's happy heart, please visit her online album at https://imageevent.com/beales/fosters/izee to see lots more pictures of her plus additional information. Then don't forget to put in an adoption application!Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info. December 11, 2024, 8:43 am

Story
Bart is a reserved 11 year old Jack Russell/Cattle dog mix. In his 11 years, this wise man has seen a lot. He is his own judge of character. Prefers a quiet and calm life. He now shares our lobby with several other friendly, playful pups and he does well. He hangs around to meet new adopters and guests. Might say hello to some or might just walk away. We know he has a crush on our Executive Director. A home including a male would be good. He does well with others when he can approach on his terms. Another dog in the home would be great. Might take Bart a minute to settle in, however, we believe with patience, love, kindness, the trust will come. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.

Story
Check out this cutie! Summit is a male Jack Russell/Boston Terrier mix born September 2020. He is the perfect companion for an adult only home. Summit forms a strong bond with his owner and sometimes can be protective. He might be a bit standoffish in the beginning. We believe this is something from his past. He is a happy little dog when playing with his pals outside. Summit would enjoy the companionship of a well-mannered dog in his new home. If you own a dog, we can arrange a playdate to see if they are a match. He is already housebroken and would enjoy a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play safely. Summit is a great little dog that will make some lucky family a fabulous pet.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.
