Story
Lucy is a 2 year old Pit/Great Dane mix with a sweet disposition and great personality. She originally came from a rescue in Macon, GA when she was about 5 months old. She has a lot of energy, runs quickly, and can jump. She loves to play with kids and toys and is good with other dogs her own size. Due to a recent issue and change of life circumstances I need to find a new home for her.

Story
Hi, I`m Mya! I absolutely love spending time at home for a quiet nap, but I also enjoy a good play session to burn off some energy. I’m always up for a walk in the park, where I get to explore and enjoy the fresh air.When I’m out and about, I always go potty outside—I`m pretty good about that. I met a few new people during my adventures, and I’m super friendly! I get all wiggly and happy, wagging my tail and approaching strangers for some love and pets. My leash manners are pretty good, and I stay relaxed, even when meeting new faces.I didn`t meet any kids, cats, or other dogs on my adventures, but I am always open to meeting new friends. I haven’t had a chance to interact with other dogs, but I’m generally calm and well-behaved.I’ve got a medium to high energy level—I`m always up for a walk or a little hike. I do pull on the leash a bit, but nothing too crazy, and I’m totally controllable.I`m house trained, so you don’t have to worry about any accidents while I’m hanging out with you. I’m also really good about not getting into your things when you leave me alone. I’m a cuddle bug who loves attention but am quiet and calm—honestly, I don’t even know how to bark! I gently take treats from your hand and love spending time with you. I can’t believe I’m still at the shelter, and I hope to find my forever home soon.

Story
Hi, I’m Stix! I’m a high-energy pup with a big personality and even bigger smile. I absolutely *love* my toys—like, really love them. When we play fetch, I’ll grab the ball and bring it right back to you. If you say `wait,` I’ll just sit there, staring at the ball with total focus until you’re ready to throw it again. It’s kind of my thing, and I think it’s pretty adorable! I’m also super curious about everything and everyone. Meeting new people is exciting for me—I’ll greet you with enthusiasm and be so interested in what you’re up to. I love being around my people, so I’m happiest when we’re together, whether that’s running around outside, going for walks, or just chilling on the couch while you give me pets. I’m all about that balance of play and relaxation. I’m a pretty special dog—people tell me my smile is what makes me stand out. It’s hard not to smile back at me when I flash it. I`m adventurous, a little silly, and always up for a good time. I love my toys so much that I’ll drop whatever I’m playing with to check out a new one—and then probably do the same thing with the next one. But don’t worry, after a good play session, I’m perfectly content to snuggle up with you and relax, especially if you’re giving me some pets.My perfect family? Well, I’d do best with people who have the time and space to keep up with my energy. I’m not a fan of being left alone all day every day, so I’d love a family that’s around a lot and ready for some fun, adventure, and a lot of love. I promise I’ll make you smile every day!

Story
Joy is the survivor of abuse so every home won't work for her. She is as sweet as can be but is not good meeting new people. A busy household would not be the right fit. Joy lives with cats, other dogs and even a bunny. The bunny is her favorite as she will sometimes steal greens and carrots from him. Joy is very playful and energetic and loves to go on walks. She is the perfect companion dog. She was born in 2020, is about 50 lbs and is fully vetted.  ##1520292##

Story
We adopted him from the humane society and have had for about 2 years. He is 3 years old. Ghost is very rowdy and he’s not trained, but he’s good with kids and doesn’t bite. He loves to go swimming and just to run. The home we are looking for is someone who is able to give him lots of love and time to do all the things he loves.

Alvin is a very sweet dog. He can sit, down, shake hands, and half roll over. He is very well house trained, and always uses the bathroom outside. He requires a bigger home than I have, and a patient owner who will be able to work with him. My ex-girlfriend adopted him, and I cannot take care of him by myself after she left without him.

Story
Gordy is a sweet, loving companion in need of a home with someone/people who love him. He loves to play with other doggies, stuffed animals and hard chew toys. He is fully house trained, he does not chew on anything besides his toys and he is very low maintenance. He is 7 years old and currently 80 lbs but he’s on a diet with the goal of loosing another 10 lbs. He would do great in a home with laid back environment, preferably no cats as he is hyper-fixated on them. Gordy does great with other dogs, however preferably not a home with a high energy puppy since they tend to jump on him and though he tries, he is unable to keep up with them. He loves to go outside just as much as he loves to take long naps on his comfy bed and heated blanket! He is very kid friendly, he loves back and belly scratches, putting his head out of the window on car rides, beef and chicken jerky dog treats along with lots of love!! Age:7years , 82lbs  Training: Housetrained   Temperament:  Good with dogs and  kids.  Vetting: neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative. Email for questions:  SheltersxShelvesRescue@gmail.com   To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. February 12, 2025, 7:28 am

Story
Monty is a tri color stunner of a dog, who we think is a Bull Terrier / Smooth Coat Collie mix! He has a trim, athletic build, and the domed forehead so characteristic of the bull terrier breed. He is a medium sized dog, weighing in at only 38 pounds. He has laser focus, and is so very, very smart! He's going to make his handler look like the best dog trainer in the room - lol! We think think boy would be an amazing candidate for dog sports! If you've ever wanted to stick your toes in the waters of dog sports, like disc or dock diving, or agility, this boy would be thrilled to learn with you. He loves all humans, and absolutely LOVES other dogs! This boy is sure to be popular, and we could not be happier to have him in our program! Welcome, Monty!November 1, 2024, 6:01 pm

Story
Wash has been with us for twelve years now. He's played nana, jungle gym, and protector to our first and only child. He loves to run after tennis balls, though fetch has always been a temperamental challenge since he loves being chased as much as he loves running after a thrown ball. He has a big heart, loves attention, but is also perfectly happy to lay at your feet and laze about. We're moving overseas and the stress of the trip and month plus long quarantine with uncertain peer policies for housing is just too much to put this loveable mutt through. He deserves an easy and stable life, hopefully that will be with you.
