Georgia is a sweet, squishy puppy with a heart as big as her puppy eyes. She’s playful and curious, but her favorite thing of all is giving love—snuggles, kisses, and being close to her people. True to her name, Georgia is sweet as a Georgia peach and full of gentle affection. She’s incredibly friendly, loves everyone she meets, and is ready to grow up in a safe, loving home where she can be spoiled the way a good southern girl deserves. Georgia would thrive with a family who wants a loyal best friend and plenty of puppy cuddles. If you’re looking for a loving, happy little soul to add to your home, Georgia might just be your perfect match. She will have to be transported, We do transports monthly.

Story
Meet Ezra! This boy is quiet and reserved in his kennel and then once you open his kennel door, he wants to play like crazy! He loves to play with toys and run around like a crazy man. Ezra will definitely bring a permanent smile to your face with his silly antics. We are unsure of what breed he is, but someone suggested he acts a little like a border collie at times. The most important thing for someone wanting to adopt him, is that they have a somewhat active lifestyle. Ezra is still young and very playful, he is not a dog for someone looking for a couch potato. He is very sociable and loves affection, but it is essential that he is provided with time to get his zoomies out! Does Ezra sound like a good fit for you? Come bring him home today!

Puddin is a certified low rider with short legs, a rich chocolate coat, and the kind of soulful eyes that could melt anyone on the spot—just like his name suggests. He may be small in stature, but this sweet little dessert is overflowing with charm and already a professional heart-stealer. 🍫🤎This doll-faced boy came to us as part of a litter from an Alabama shelter, and he’s been serving up sweetness ever since. Puddin is busy learning all the good puppy things: snuggles are his specialty, playtime is his favorite pastime, and his gentle, loving personality shines just as much as his velvety brown fur.He’s great with everyone, including children, and is well on his way with housetraining. He’s already crate trained and has done just fine on short car rides—this little treat travels well!Puddin is endlessly entertaining and incredibly affectionate, proudly carrying his toys around like prized treasures, as if they’re the most important ingredients in his recipe for happiness.This adorable boy is the perfect comfort food for the soul and will be a wonderful addition to a lucky family—bringing warmth, laughter, and unconditional love with every spoonful.Name: PuddinBreed: Pit Bull Terrier/Basset HoundSex: MaleAge: 11 weeksWeight: 12.0Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

Story
Meet Maggie, an absolutely precious puppy whose story began on a very cold night when she and her siblings were found being sold on the side of the road. For their safety, they were brought into rescue, where they could finally warm up, settle in, and start the happy puppy life they deserve. Their mama was said to be a pit bull mix, and while their daddy is a mystery, one thing is certain—these pups are going to grow into big, lovable dogs, complete with those oversized puppy feet that hint at their future.Now safe in foster care, Maggie and her siblings are thriving. They are all the wonderful things puppies should be: sweet, affectionate, playful, and endlessly cuddly. Snuggle time is a favorite for them, and they soak up love whenever it’s offered. They are doing well with children, other dogs, and even cats, making them wonderful candidates for many different types of homes.Their foster family is working with them on both house training and crate training, and they are learning through consistency and care. With patience and guidance, these smart, gentle pups will continue to blossom. Maggie is ready to leave her tough start behind and grow up in a home filled with warmth, love, and security—exactly what every puppy deserves.Name: Maggie Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 7 weeksWeight: 7.3 lbs-1/10/26Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.
