Mr. Friendly (formerly) has an announcement-
Future family-I would like to introduce myself… my name is Goose (I’m sure you can guess why). I am five years old and a 60lb lap dog in search of a loving lap. I have overcome many obstacles to find my place with people that won’t abandon me. I would thrive with a family who understands my sensitive heart and a home with a large area to play with lots of toys. Toys are my very favorite thing..well except for treats. I will do anything for a treat. I know how to sit, shake, and lay down and my recall is pretty good too. I absolutely love riding in the car and especially going to the drive thru. Due to no fault of my own I have realized grumpy dogs are not my cup of tea for reasons out of my control. I do love other dogs but I need my siblings to be very dog friendly. I would be happy as a single dog or in a home with maybe one doggie sibling. I do funny things like use my deep voice when I play so they have to be cool with that. My best friend right now is a cat, so that level of chill is my preference. I love snuggling too so after exercise or playtime I settle down for family snugs. If you have to leave I am happy to stay in my crate as long as I have a comfy bed and a toy. I know all the rules of being polite when toileting so will wait for you to come home and I will be that boy that greets you with excitement every time you walk in the door. I promise to be your loyal and loving friend. I promise to be there when you need me. I am really special and if you let me I can show you how we can have a wonderful life together. Will someone please help me find my family?

Some dogs sparkle from the moment you meet them, others may need some time to shine. Star is one of those dogs, and now that she’s found safety and love in foster care, her light is shining brighter every day.

This blue-haired beauty has blossomed into a happy, affectionate girl who loves being part of whatever her people are doing. Whether it’s a walk, a car ride, a cuddle on the couch, or simply following you from room to room, Star is happiest by your side. Pull out a leash and watch her whole face light up!

Star is house trained, crate trained, and has wonderful house manners. When left alone, she’s content to relax with some music, enjoy a favorite chew, and perfect her signature dramatic sploot.

She absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive with playful canine companions. Her favorite game is a bouncy version of “I’m gonna catch you!” that always gets tails wagging. She’s also done well with kids and seems comfortable around cats.

Star walks nicely on leash, is eager to please, and learns quickly, especially when treats are involved. She continues to gain confidence every day and has the sweetest, most sensitive heart.

What Star is looking for now is simple: a family to love. In return, she’ll be your loyal best friend, cuddle buddy, adventure partner, and devoted shadow.

If you’re looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart, Star is ready to shine for you. 🩷

URGENT: On July 1st, this 8 year old senior boy Max will have nowhere to live. Max came from a home of neglect and landed on the euthanasia list.

A loving family changed his destiny and now, due to unforeseen circumstances, Max will be losing his family and his home. It breaks our hearts that Max doesn’t know the changes ahead.

Max was in neglectful condition and has now overcome so much including heartworm. He didn’t make it this far to only make it this far.

Max is:
Mild energy/ an older boy but still has plenty of pep in his step
Loves his family and sweet with people
Would do well as an only dog or in a home with submissive dogs

When rescues are faced with these challenges and no home is found, we have no choice but to send a dog to boarding. We can’t let this happen to Max. The confusion and stress he will endure will be a devastation for this old boy. ❤️‍🩹

Located in Pittsburgh, PA

Please help us find him a home or maybe you are willing to give this sweet senior a soft place to land 🥺🙏🏻

We still need fosters for these loveable pups. Please consider giving them the chance they need to find a forever home.

Week after week we pay $500 to keep these two amazing dogs in boarding- there’s no good reason!!
Angel and Duke are two wonderful dogs currently in boarding who truly deserve a loving home of their own.

Angel is a sweet, smart, and incredibly loving medium-energy girl who loves cuddling up close and showering her humans with affection. She is a polite lady who rarely jumps, enjoys splashing in the baby pool, and is friendly with other dogs.

Duke is a wonderfully mellow, easy-going fellow who loves nothing more than hanging out, playing with dog friends, and enjoying the water.

Both dogs have spent most of their lives in kennels, meaning they will need patience to work through some puppy behaviors they never were taught.

Angel handles crate environments well however needs work with holding it through the night, while Duke gets a bit anxious in tight spaces and prefers more open room to feel secure he is a super holder and will wait until he’s outside to do his business.

The silver lining to their growing up in the shelter and boarding is that they are both social, low-drama pups who happily ignore fence-line distractions.

Let’s get these pups out of boarding and into loving homes! They are not bonded, we are looking for fosters or adopters

ATLANTA followers, we did it again!
Kiwano was next on the last list you ever want to find yourself on. Kennel stress was his crime, and black dog syndrome caused the time. Left in a back kennel, unseen by the public, passed over day after day waiting for anyone to notice him slowly deteriorate. First physically, his hair has all fallen out causing him to be patchy, another reason for people walk past. After months of this the effects could no longer be ignored as he practically begged to not be returned to his kennel and would take any chance he had at escaping it.

Now he is resting and recovering thanks to the rescue team at Dekalb for advocating for him, the amazing volunteers for fostering him, and all of his supporters online. And look how peaceful he looks in his kennel now. Take a chance on the underdog, they usually turn out to be great.

More updates to come for this man’s recovery, we imagine it will be a beautiful transformation. See our pinned post and comments for ways to support our work. 🐾💕

Did you always dream of the family, the neighborhood, the yard, but now the kids keep begging for a pet? Opening up that door may seem daunting, but what if I told you there’s a way to get the dog AND ensure you never have to have the “can we please take it home” conversation ever again.
Enter Tubby: This beautiful white hippo was a very last-minute euthanasia list pull after her previous foster was heartbreakingly diagnosed with cancer. Despite her past, Tubby is just completely happy to be alive and absolutely loves life. Whether you can count on her to be entertaining the family with her silly smile and playfulness or peacefully laying out in the backyard soaking up the sun, she embraces every single moment.
Because she’s so full of love for her people, she doesn’t want to share the spotlight with other pets so is the perfect choice for the “one and done” family. Instead, she is incredible with humans, loves kids of all ages, and has enough vibrant personality to fill a whole house. Tubby does not require a home with children and will be perfectly content with an
adult only home! She is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a star for their show.
She’s ready to join your crew, watch movies on the couch, and keep everyone laughing as the ultimate entertainment.

Apply to foster or adopt Tubby in the comments!

📸A huge thank you to the very talented Terrilyn of OrpheusAndAphrodite for taking photos of Tubby! If you are in the Altnata Metro area please reach out to her for any of your photo needs!

DUMPED PUPPIES! One of the saddest sights to see- puppies caged alone on the side of a road in the middle of the night. Thankfully the right people pulled up and pulled over and happened to be family with a RADD rescuer. We don’t have the capacity at this time to support a litter of puppies so we reached out to Paw Project of Georgia, Inc. for help. Thanks to them these pups are now rehydrated, dewormed, vaccinated, on antibiotics, probiotics, and ready to recover. If you are in the metro ATL area and looking for affordable vet care we cannot recommend them enough.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting one of these sweet babies please let us know or contact: [email protected]
