Many dogs have arrived over the past day, including a group of 10, one of the largest intakes we have had recently. Our shelter is now caring for 510 dogs, and we need to be at or below 475 by next Tuesday at 8pm. Every dog who leaves the building helps ease the overcrowding we have been facing, making life better for the many pets in our care and the teams who support them. Visit us at 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road.

Fudge Sundae is as sweet as her name - soft, snuggly, and ready to melt right into your heart! She may be a little shy at first, but with a treat (or two!) she’ll be climbing onto the nearest bench to smother you with kisses. This gentle girl knows how to sit, handles easily, and seems to be house and crate trained.

She was recently made available for adoption or foster and is ready to find a loving home outside the shelter where she can finally relax. Come meet this sugary sweetheart today at 3280 Chamblee Dunwoody Road!

Meet Tither, affectionately known as George, Georgie, or Puddin – a lovable companion just waiting to be a part of your family! This gentle giant weighs 90 pounds of pure joy and is ready to fill your home with love and laughter.

Tither is a true velcro buddy who thrives on closeness and affection. Whether he is laying at your feet, resting his head on your lap, or following you around like your biggest fan, he just wants to be near you. He also loves soaking up the sunshine, making him the perfect partner for sunbathers!

A social butterfly, Tither adores people and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Imagine the joy of watching him gleefully bounce around with his furry friends! He is a fan of peanut butter Kongs, belly rubs, and head scratches. While thunder and rain are not his favorites, he is adaptable and will tolerate baths just to spend time with you.

Tither is house and crate trained, non destructive, and a quick learner. He already knows sit, stay, down, come, up, and pillow. He is working on leash walking and car rides, where he prefers sitting right by your side.

Though generally chill with a low to medium energy level, Tither can get a little excited sometimes (watch out for that wagging tail!). He would do best in a home with older kids who understand his enthusiasm.

Most importantly, Tither needs a new foster by June 15 to continue thriving in a loving, comfortable environment.

If you are looking for a devoted friend who will brighten every day with love and laughter, Tither could be your perfect match. Learn more at sholink.to/AdoptTither and help give him the home he deserves!
