She’ll herd stray leaves, launch herself after sticks, and master a new trick with astonishing speed, often tackling all three in the span of a minute. She’s spirited, wickedly smart, and already displaying the deep loyalty of a born companion.Sweet, lively, and overflowing with pure puppy enthusiasm, Sparrow is the perfect blend of Aussie brains and devoted heart. Get ready for a lifetime soundtracked by rapid tail-wags and joyful, gravity-defying leaps.Sparrow’s adoption fee is $275 which includes the spay, microchip, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm test (if over 9 months old), and kept up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Story
Meet Sargent This handsome boy was surrendered by his soldier daddy. When leaving he mentioned in passing that Sargent doesn’t like confined spaces. Sadly, nearly five years later, Sargent is in exactly that - the confines of a concrete kennel. We love this boy so much, but the shelter life is taking a toll on him. He needs a second chance desperately. Sargent is nearly six years old now. He’s thought to be a Boxer/Australian Shepherd mix. He’s a handsome boy with a tan and white coat and one brown and one partial blue eye. His ears are expressive and he looks at you as if he knows what you’re saying. Sargent is on the bigger side weighing 72 pounds. Sargent is a calm and relaxed dog when he’s in the play yards. He loves the fresh air, feeling the grass under his paws and the sun on his face. You can just see him relax. We give him as much time outside as we can. Sargent seems to be house-broken. He’s smart and knows some commands like sit and shake. Sargent has a lot of energy and will enjoy being part of an active family that’s able to keep his body and mind going. Sargent has a high prey drive. He’ll need to be an only pet to start. Time away and hooman bonding to decompress could change that. For his new family though it will be best to let him go at his own pace after all he’s been through. Sargent seems to be afraid of men when he meets them initially. He likes women though. For the person or family interested in Sargent, a few visits may be necessary for him to feel safe. Sargent fears stressful situations and that’s exactly what he’s in. Sargent wasn’t expecting the turn that his life took. He’s hanging in there, but we know it’s not easy on him. If you’re looking for a wonderful companion dog to welcome into your family, come meet Sargent. If interested in giving Sargent a soft landing, please submit a dog application online at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org Please call our shelter at 706-865-4135 or email us at smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net to let us know to be on the lookout. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out of state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals. Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually is operating at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.

Story
I AM CURRENTLY IN FOSTER!Hi, I’m Orpheus — but my foster family calls me Opie.I’m a very sweet, good-natured boy who’s been through more than my heart should have had to handle. I’m fully housebroken, I absolutely love other dogs, and I’m learning — slowly but surely — that the world doesn’t have to be such a scary place.I am extremely fearful, and that fear is deeply imprinted from earlier experiences in my life. New people, unfamiliar environments, loud noises, and too much stimulation can be overwhelming for me. Building trust with me takes time, patience, and a calm presence. I don’t do well with being rushed, talked at, or “love-bombed” — for me, comfort comes from quiet energy, predictable routines, and respectful body language.When trust does begin to form, that’s where the magic happens. After two months in foster care, I’ve started seeking out affection on my own terms and have even begun snuggling on the couch with my foster mom. Those moments are incredibly special because they’re earned — and they mean everything.I would thrive in a home with space, including a dedicated area where I can feel safe and decompress. Having at least one confident, friendly dog in the home is very important for me — other dogs help me feel secure and act as a bridge between me and the human world.I’m not the kind of dog who will greet you at the door right away — but for the right person, willing to move at my pace and let trust grow naturally, I will be a deeply rewarding companion. If you believe in quiet progress, patience, and the beauty of watching a fearful dog learn to feel safe, I may be the one you’ve been waiting for.Currently, I am available for adoption. If you`re interested in adopting me, please fill out an application online or call the Humane Society of Forsyth County at 770-887-6480. Adoption hours are Tuesday through Thursday 11-5 or Friday and Saturday 1-5. All of my love and kisses, Orpheus /(^.^)\",AVAILABLE"

Sweet dog who deserves a good home where she can be out in a yard to play. Unfortunately, my busy schedule does not allow her to do that. She needs to be in a home that can give her the proper time and attention.

Story
I got my pet from an accidental pregnancy. She is 1 years old and was born Dec 1st 2024. I’m looking for a new home with a loving energetic owner. Quinn is energetic, playful, very affectionate, and silly. She is crate trained and is potty trained as well. My mental health does not allow me to be as energetic as I would like to be for her and I do not have suitable living conditions for her at this moment. That is the reason why I have to re home her to give her the life she desperately deserves.
