Story

Rizzo is a high energy and playful pup. He’s a ball of energy that loves his people. He’s very smart and obedient. He was rescued from a chained situation where he broke free and was found running in traffic in Tucker. He does have a scar on his neck, most likely from being chained. He was taken to the shelter where he developed pneumonia. A foster brought him home to in November to help him recover. The vet gave him a 50/50 chance of survival. He's a fighter and he did survive. Now he deserves a wonderful home. He is 100% American Staffordshire Terrier but he is small like a pocket pittie. Rizzo can be playful and mouthy like a puppy. He needs a patient owner willing to work with his puppy behaviors and continue training. He also has a medical condition known as a collapsing trachea. For this reason, Rizzo can't take long walks on a leash even with a harness. He's nervous around new people but only in the home. He can be protective of his people in the house but is great outside of the home meeting new people. He loves to play in the yard. He loves having lots of toys to squeak and play with and he loves having unlimited supplies of cow ears and bully sticks. He has no resource guarding issues and he isn’t destructive in any way. He is great with dogs and cats and would love to live with another dog with a similar play style. He does need a fenced yard to run around in so he can get his energy out. He can’t be outside for long periods of time in the Summer due to his collapsed trachea. Housebroken, but he needs to go outside first thing in the morning before you even brush your teeth. Age: 2 years Weight: 46 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative and up to date on vaccines Temperament: good with bigger kids and other dogs. Training: House trained and knows how to use pee pads.

Story

loves kids, loves kisses and lapsSweet Rosie was abandoned at a church. She was around a lot of kids who were out playing after church and she was very peaceful with them. She has clearly been abused but despite her experience, she is the most loving, gentle lady. She is fine around other dogs, non-confrontational. She has not been cat tested. She is in a kennel right now so we don't know about house-training yet. She loves treats so she should be easy to train though. While she is fine with kids, I'm going to say older kids only because she does flinch with sudden movement, but has never shown reactivity or aggression. She actually is a kissing fiend and can't get enough affection. She is a big lap dog.

American Staffordshire Terrier Bull Terrier

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jake is a sweet, cuddly lovebug looking for his forever home. We believe Jake to be no more than two years old. He is super playful and high energy. He can run 3 miles in 21 minutes! His i deal home would be with someone who runs or hikes and wants a four-legged partner in crime for their adventures. He also loves to walk and run on the treadmill. He gets along great with other dogs, especially those who have high energy like him and like to wrestle and play rough. H e'd be an amazing agility dog if anyone is looking for that. He can sit, lay down and high-five (his personal favorite). He can also “sit and wait” for his meals or to be let out of his crate. Jake is SUPER food motivated and eager to please, so he is very trainable. As food motivated as he is, he has zero resource guarding. He doesn't even resource guard his toys and those are his second favorite thing in life right behind cuddles. H e loves toys! He always wants to have a toy in his mouth. He is house broken and has gone up to 10hrs before with no accidents! He does still pull on the leash, but with the proper collar and training this will lessen. He is not a fan of cats. He's not the biggest fan of being crated but he isn't destructive, so he gets to hang out loose in the house when his foster Mom is gone. He is a super snuggle bug and he loves to be on top of you. H e also grunts when he is happy! Are you his new family? Age: 2.5 years Weight: 69 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative Temperament: Good with older respectful kids and other dogs.

Penny's best quality is the amount of love she has pouring out of her. She is looking into being a professional weighted blanket, as she's passionate about keeping people warm and as close to her as possible, while sharing her weight on top of them. She wants to play, but still isn't exactly sure how, and could use someone to teach her the basics. She would do well in a home where she can run around a yard and also go on walks for quality time and exercise. Really, she just needs a forever home that will love all of her!

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Our sweet Noah is another one who came to us after being let down his whole life. Back in the spring he was confiscated at an eviction and taken to a huge metro county shelter. He was pulled by a “rescue” who sadly only wanted him for his pledge money and then was dumped at a boarding facility. The people at the boarding facility fell in love with him, how could you not?!? Noah is fully vetted and has now completed obedience training with the people who advocated for him. He’s learned his doggy manners and his new adopters will get a free lesson so he can show off what he knows! He’s around 2 ish years old and weighs a little over 50lbs. Noah has done well with the dogs he’s met with us and has even met a dog savvy cat and done well! (please understand that these cats are very used to dogs. If a cat ran from him he would probably chase it just like most other dogs would). Noah is very food motivated and once he knows you’re the keeper of the snacks, he’s your new instant best friend! Noah hasn’t met any small children with us so for now at least we’re looking for a home with no small children. Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids! Adopting from Releash Atlanta means you will adopt a dog that has been fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and medically cleared!! While we make our best guesses, we often don’t know what breeds our kiddos are made of. We cannot guarantee our guesses will always be right but CAN guarantee they are 100% good dogs! Our adoption fee is $350. **We only adopt to families in/around Atlanta, Ga (about a 1-2 hour perimeter)** If you are interested in any of our dogs, please visit https://releashatlanta.com/adoptable-dogs.php to either view more of their profile or to apply to adopt!

Story

Requirements: another dog in the home and people able to allow her regular potty-breaks and exercise. Louise “Weezy” is a 10-12 week old, 10 pound female pup who found herself with little to no exposure to people prior to being dropped at an overcrowded shelter. Along with her sister Tootsie, Weezy has started to trust and enjoy people given the ever rotating groups of friends and neighbors loving, holding, and playing with her in her foster home, learning from the other dogs in the home that people are good! Weezy has also claimed an oinking pig as her favorite toy! Weezy is crate trained and is making great progress in house training. Her recent walks on a leash with her sister and one of the other foster pups in her home have proven to be successful as Weezy enjoys smelling new smells and walking in the woods and neighborhoods near her foster home. Because Weezy is still a puppy, she will need someone able to let her out every few hours to continue to be fully housebroken. Likewise, Weezy will do best with another dog who can continue to help her develop her self-confidence and “dog skills”. Shy at first, Weezy enjoys belly rubs, hugs, and naps in her foster family members laps. She can be found sunning herself in her fenced yard and chasing toys with the teens in her home. Weezy has yet to lose her puppy teeth so she still does some puppy nipping when she plays, but her foster Mom is thrilled to see how this little nuggets personality has blossomed and how much she loves people.

Story

Tootsie is a 10-12 week old,10 pound beautiful female pup who found herself with little to no exposure to people prior to being dropped at an overcrowded shelter. Along with her sister Louise, Tootsie is slowly starting to trust and enjoy the menagerie of friends happily offering to hold, love on, and play with her in her foster home. With her one blue and one brown eye, Tootsie always has someone wanting to hold her! Initially shy, Tootsie is currently being fostered with 4 other dogs, which has helped Tootsies personality blossom as she is learning “how to be a dog”. For this reason, a home with another dog is required, along with a patient family who is willing to encourage Tootsie to continue to be her true self - you won’t be sorry! Tootsie is crate trained and is making great progress in house training. She enjoys going on daily walks and exploring the woods near her foster home with the other adult dogs leading the way. Because Tootsie is still a puppy, she will need someone able to let her out every 1-2 hours to continue to be fully housebroken. She has made great progress since joining her foster family, and is food motivated and SMART! Currently, Tootsies ears are “having a party”……we never know if both of them will be up, down, or flipped back! Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids!

Story

Duke is a happy go lucky guy who is about 4 to 5 years old. Duke was abandoned by his family with another dog and left in very poor conditions. After a few baths and some TLC, he’s doing so much better in a foster home. He loves attention from anyone, especially if they will give him a butt scratch. He has done well with meeting dogs both male and female, but he has mostly been around female dogs. He housebroken, crate, trained, and has done well with kids a various ages, but would likely do well with children eight years old and up. Duke is mostly very laid-back and calm, but he does get pretty excitable when he knows it’s time for food or when he’s ready to get out of his crate. He likes to run around in the yard and sometimes play with a ball. But he mostly loves to army crawl on his belly in the grass or roll around in the grass. He’s a silly guy that always makes people laugh and would make a great addition to a family!
