I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. ~Gilda Radner

D4967 Rocky DOB: 07/06 Male; Rottweiler mix;
Black and Tan; Rocky is a handsome, friendly, energetic Rottweiler mix who was
found as a stray. He is about 1 year old. He's a big boy.

D4965 Hershey DOB: Hershey is a
wonderful laid back, BIG, BIG boy about 2 years old. He is part
chocolate lab and part something big such as St Bernard or Mastiff. He
is a home body and loves to be in the house with his family. He will
bond to one of you and will remain by your side continuously. He has
good house manners, is housebroken and affectionate. His only draw
back is that he thinks he is a small dog and will lean on you, step on
your feet and bat things with his tail. These things are only problems
because he is just so big and so young. Hershey is very intelligent and
learns quickly. Right now, he knows no commands so to handle a dog this
size, I would strongly recommend enrolling him in obedience training.
He will enjoy the challenge and will love to be told he is a good boy.
He loves praise. He gets along well with people and other dogs.
Although he would not hurt a child, he is much to big to be in a
household with a young child. His head is not aware of what his tail is
doing. He is not used to walking on a leash, so will need a strong
handler until he learns his leash manners.

Pomeranian; black. His sheet says he is good with dogs, cats and
children. He is very friendly. He was found as a stray with a terribly
matted coat that even had wire tangled in it. |

DOB: Unk Female, Lab
mix; reddish. Beautiful and happy mixed female dog was found by her
former foster mom Alison along with her puppy
Lexi. Angel was the saving grace
to the puppy, obviously taking care of herself and her puppy as best she
knew how. She was found without a collar, wandering a Cumming
neighborhood for weeks. Both dogs were in good health, but were dirty &
needed a few extra pounds on them which were easily accomplished with
regular meal times!

Italian Greyhound mix with a wire hair coat. Red with white feet. He is

playing with other small dogs.

D4901 Digby DOB: 01/06 Male, Spaniel
mix. Digby is a very handsome spaniel mix. The markings on his face are
reminiscent of a St. Bernard, but he's half the size. He loves to run
and play. Digby is such a beautiful boy with the pretty white socks on
all four feet. His happy free-spirit energy would be a great addition to
an active home. He likes his shelter buddies, but is really ready to get
into a loving home environment. He is reported to be a fence jumper, so
ask us for suggestions on keeping him safe when he is outside. |

All of our attempts to contact her previous owners have lead to nothing

D4788 Cheyenne (F) DOB: 09/06 Lab and Beagle Mix
These pups were rescued from a
bad situation where they received no attention, lived in a pen fighting over
what little food they were given and kicked for jumping up on people for
attention, There was even a stick sitting by the door of the pen to hit them
with when walking in. Please consider giving one of these pups a fresh new
beginning where they can experience compassion and affection.
