Story
Several years ago a good samaritan in Nashville saved me, I was running down the road. She took me in for 3 years, but couldn't afford to take me to the vet. I developed skin and ear issues so she reached out for someone to take me, and here I am getting the health care I need and responding very well. Yes I'm mostly blind, but I'm a gentle fellow that enjoys being petted. I could spend the day sitting on a lap being company and enjoying a persons company. I'm quiet and I would be fine in a small home with a small fenced yard because I love to sit in the sun and snooze.

Story
I came from a backyard breeder in Cartersville. They didn’t want me any more so Act2Pups stepped up and rescued me. I was just a number, I didn’t have a name. I hadn’t been to see a vet and was totally confused to be out of a wire cage. I was allowed to decompress and in a week I was coming out of my shell. All my teeth were rotten so I had them all removed, but I do fine eating wet food. I’ve come a long way and I’m doing great. I’m a sweet gentle fellow that needs a home that will understand what my life was like for so many years.

Story
    Are you looking for a companion, a lap dog? A pup that wants to be by your side and snuggle when it’s cold? Then look no further because here I am! My name is Willow Rae, and I was a momma dog to 5 puppies that were delivered in Angels’ care. I was pulled from a shelter when I was pregnant, and I delivered and cared for my babies. They were all adopted, but now it’s my turn for a forever home. I am a Shih-Tzu mix, and I am soft as can be. I will require grooming from time to time as my hair will get a little out of control if not trimmed every few months. If you keep me brushed, my fur will stay untangled. I am about six years old, and I have severe cataracts…so much so that I do not have much eyesight. But I do navigate around all by myself! I see shadows and movement, so I have figured out how to get around my foster home and love to sleep with my foster mommy. I usually sleep by her legs, so I am not right in anyone’s face, but I do love human companionship. I get along with my foster brothers and sisters but do not need another dog in my new home. I like to get all the attention. Young kids are probably not a good fit since I do not see so well. I do not navigate stairs, so I either need a ranch home or someone that is willing to take me up and down the stairs. I am very quiet…my foster mom has only heard me bark once! I am not fully house-trained and will use pee pads. I do need some work on learning to go outside to go potty. If you would like to learn more about me, please let the Angels know so you can talk to my foster mommy.     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 26, 2025, 5:08 pm

Story
Meet Baby Bruno, a young canine resident of our shelter. He's a mellow fellow with a smart mind and a loyal heart but can easily turn into a spicy boy. Bruno is a bit anxious around new people and environment, but give him a little time and patience and maybe some cheese, and he'll warm up to you, showing his true, loving nature. If rushed and scared he can become a bite risk so he should only go to a home that is quiet with little foot traffic. He's housetrained, crate-trained and gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion for any existing furry family members. Due to his anxieties and spicy small dog personality, Baby Bruno prefers a home without children. His calm and intelligent demeanor makes him a perfect fit for those seeking a loyal companion. Adopt Baby Bruno and you'll gain a friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin. Baby Bruno weighs 13lbs. and is approximately 3 years old (est. birth date 03/22/2021). Baby Bruno has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. Baby Bruno's adoption fee is $500. If you want more information about Baby Bruno, please submit a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. At this time, meeting our dogs is by appointment only. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. Must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.

Story
Orson is a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix that weighs 14 pounds. He is potty trained and crate trained, but would love the opportunity to sleep in your bed. He is great with other dogs and he loves going on car rides and walks through the neighborhood. Orson is an older gentleman, but he still has a lot of life left to live. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.
