Story
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS! AVAILABLE 2/4 Hi, I'm Blaire! 1 year old | Labrador mix | 35 pounds I’m just as sweet as I am adorable. I’m a petite girl with a friendly personality, a gentle heart, and lots of love to give. I came to the shelter with my dad (Labrador) due to changes in our owner’s life circumstances, and now I’m ready to find a family of my very own.   I’m very friendly, dog friendly, and I do great with kids. I enjoy being around people and other dogs, and I have that happy, social lab energy. I’ve never been around cats before, so I haven’t been tested with them yet, but the shelter will update once they know more.   I’m mostly potty trained, though I may need a little extra guidance as I continue learning. My previous owner shared that I still had an occasional accident and sometimes chewed on things, but that’s pretty normal for a young girl like me. With consistency, routine, crate training and some patience, I’ll shine!   I’m young, adaptable, and full of potential. I’m the kind of dog who could fit into almost any family and grow right alongside you.   If you’re looking for a sweet, friendly dog with lots of love to give, I might be the perfect match for you   Spayed, Heartworm & Lyme Negative, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention. Adoption fee is $100   If you are interested in meeting and adopting, please submit an application here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog   Once submitted, staff will review during open hours.

Story
$0 ADOPTION FEE + ONE FULL YEAR OF FREE HEARTWORM/FLEA & TICK PREVENTION!   This 2-3-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix isn’t just unique, he’s one in over 20,000. Feral • Rare Hermaphrodite • Gentle Soul LONGEST SHELTER RESIDENT!!! Intake February 2025.    Miles didn’t arrive at our shelter like most dogs. He had to be humanely live-trapped after surviving on his own in the wild- feral, alone, and completely shut down. He never knew a life that involved humans. When he first came to us, he was a ghost of a dog… silently curled into a ball, eating only during the dark hours when no one was watching. He wouldn’t walk. Wouldn’t go outside. Wouldn’t move. He never growled, barked, or showed a single sign of aggression, just fear and total emotional withdrawal. A lifeless shell.   We later discovered Miles is a rare hermaphrodite, meaning he has both male and female reproductive anatomy, something we’ve never encountered before! This doesn’t affect his personality or overall health, but it makes him truly one of a kind.   We tried every kind of treat you could imagine, but he never showed interest in any of them. It wasn't until offering a McDonald's cheeseburger that we found something he liked. With time, he eventually started eating it from our hand, so gently. That was the first spark of trust.    Despite his traumatic beginnings, the turning point came when we introduced him to another dog. For the first time… he played. He acted like a normal dog! Since then, we’ve watched him take brave steps forward. He now greets familiar staff members at the kennel gate and enjoys exploring the play yard with dog friends. He’s curious, gentle, and soaking up this new world of kindness.. one small victory at a time.   But Miles still has a long way to go, and he needs the right environment to continue growing.   Miles Needs: A calm, patient home A secure 6-foot privacy fence (no exceptions) At least one confident, friendly dog to guide him A patient, experienced adopter who understands the journey of rehabilitating a feral dog   A trainer who spent time with Myles, painted a custom portrait of him to go home with his adopter!  Please Know: Rehabilitating a feral dog like Miles takes time, consistency, and trust-building. You’ll need to let him set the pace, allowing him to observe, learn, and slowly come out of his shell. The rewards are quiet but profound: seeing the first tail wag, hearing the first bark, or watching him sleep peacefully for the first time in a real home.   If you have the heart, the patience, and the setup to give Miles the second chance he never knew he deserved… he just might show you a kind of love that words can’t describe.   Neutered, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention. $0 ADOPTION FEE! If you are interested in meeting and adopting, please submit an application here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog Once submitted our staff will review and then contact you to set up a meet and greet!
