Kofi

From owner:
Kofi is a beautiful 8-year-old tabby cat that is happy playing indoors and outdoors. We found him and took him in immediately when he was an orphan at about three weeks old. He is in excellent health and has a great personality. Kofi is bashful on first meeting, yet he is soon friendly and purring with affection. His current owners are moving from Five Points to an apartment in town. Kofi has been well cared for with yearly vet visits, current shots and no illness ever. He would be a wonderful addition to a loving home. Please contact: Michael Simon 706-354-1937

No Name

From person who found him:
Over a week ago this sweet male lab/shepherd followed me and my dog home. I have taken the stray to the vet and he is heart-worm negative and I am currently treating him for a severe allergic reaction to fleas (his skin test was negative for mange). He is about ten years old, neutered, and has been sweet to everyone who has met him. He is very skinny at 65 lbs and mainly likes to go on walks, chew his bone, play fetch with squeaky toys, and sleep. He is not been food aggressive and will share his bone. The groomers said he was very friendly and did not need to be muzzled during his bath. I got him all his vaccinations, including boardatella, de-wormed, and put him on confortis for fleas etc. No one has responded to the found ad I put in the news paper.

This dog is so sweet, knows all obedience commands, easy to walk on a leash, and housebroken. He passed temperament testing at Athens Area Humane Society and is just a nice old dog looking for a place to retire. He is friendly to everyone he has met, likes other dogs, doesn't mind cats and is so incredibly well trained - I wish I had better trained my own puppy! He seems to be special and I would like to find him a home where he can just hangout and play. Please let me know how I can get him adopted and find a forever home.

Carlos & Eddy

I have attached some photos. Please post these and let me know if you know of anyone willing to take them. I would love for them to be adopted together. Please email if interested. rwhite66817@gmail.com

Puppies

From Lady trying to help:
I came across 3 puppies on a home visit the other day. Apparently the puppies were dropped off in front of her house on the main road. She has been feeding them and allowing them to stay on her land, and I have given her information on SpayGeorgia so that she can hopefully get them spayed/neutered, but she cannot keep them. Currently, they are living outside, still running up and down the road. They are in desperate need of a foster home/forever home.

They are incredibly sweet, playful, very young puppies. There are 2 black females and 1 multi-colored male with 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye. The 2 black females look exactly the same. If anyone can help by fostering or adopting 1 or more of them, please contact me and I can get in touch with the family, as I cannot post their information on a public site. The family said they might be able to keep 1 of them, but absolutely cannot afford to keep all 3. My phone number is 203-525-9194 and e-mail is sarah.saint@gmail.com. I have attached pictures of them.

Thank you very much for your help!!

Apple & Katie Raimie

From Foster Owner:
I am looking to move in order to find work or attend seminary in the upcoming months and am forced to find a loving home for my two dogs.

Apple is as gentle, loyal, and affectionate as four-legged friends get. She is on and off-leash trained to many commands. She is polite and sits patiently until she is told to eat her dinner. Above all she loves to jog, run, hike, and play with her best friend (also up for adoption) Katie.

Apple is a healthy dog. She is healthy as a horse. She is up to date on all her vaccines and is medical issue free. She will allow you to trim her toenails, although she flinches sometimes just at the right moment, clean her teeth by hand, and take food away from her.

Apple is from a Rottie rescue in Southern Georgia. She is approximately five years old. She would do well with a loving family or a person that is active outdoors as she does require daily exercise. She is fully house trained and is an indoor dog. She is also cat friendly and loves other dogs of all sizes.

Katie is kind, sweet, on and off-leash trained to many commands. She is polite and sits patiently until she is told to eat her dinner. Above all she loves to jog, run, hike, and play with her best friend (also up for adoption) Apple.

Katie is healthy as a horse. She is up to date on all her vaccines and is medical issue free. She will allow you to trim her toenails, although she flinches sometimes just at the right moment, clean her teeth by hand, and take food away from her.

Katie hails from North Carolina from a pound and was one of a litter of eight pups. She is approximately three years old. She would do well with a loving family or a person that is active outdoors as she does require daily exercise. She is fully house trained and is an indoor dog.

Requirements for loving homes are below and are in order to match them with the best fit for new and permanent owners:

Young Cats Need Home Black_White

I actually do not have much information on these cats. I know they are still young adults (under one year.) The owner is happy to answer any questions. Just email Buddy Ouzts for more information: ouztsmotors@yahoo.com. He can tell you more about their individualized personalities.

Moose
From Foster Family: Moose

Moose appears to be a american bull mix; approximately 2 years old. He arrived at our home in Sept of 2010. He was covered in mange, and someone had shaved him, apparently trying to get rid of the mange. We got him to the vet and began treatment for the mange, and all his fur has grown back in nicely. He's had all his vaccinations and we've had him neutered.

Moose is very playful and happy. He loves chasing a ball or rope, and is happy to climb in a lap and be calm and peaceful. He's had absolutely no aggression towards our family at all. He loves to be petted and loved, a very sweet dog. Moose, however, does not like to share! His possessiveness of toys, food, and even stray critters in the yard, has caused fights with our other dogs. We've tried everything to have a harmonious existence, but it's clear that Moose needs to be an only pet for someone. Again, he has never shown any aggressive behavior towards people at all, but is unable to be trusted with other pets. He does fairly well on a leash, and has had no problems with kids.

Anyone interested call Alan at 706-255-4972.

Kittens

From Family:
The photo shows the four kittens roughly three weeks ago. All four are up-to-date on vaccinations & immunizations, fully weaned & litter box trained. We were able to find good homes for two of the original six & decided that little mother deserved a stable home so she’s been neutered, made healthy, and has found a home for herself alongside our other three stray cats and two dumpster dogs.

Leo

From Mom:
Leo is a fun-loving, happy, playful and loving 6 month old puppy who needs a new home. He was rescued from the Forsyth County Animal Shelter when he was 6 weeks old. Leo is, as far as some vets can guess, a Border Collie - Australian Shepherd mix and right now weighs about 30 pounds. Leo's personality is great: he loves meeting new people and dogs, loves to play but is also very smart and obedient. He picks up on new training very quickly and has been a great with all people and dogs he's ever met. Leo is neutered, up to date on all vaccines as well as heartworm/flea/tick medicine. This guy loves to play and run so he would do great with an owner who has some land or a park nearby. He would also be really happy living with a family and/or other dog companions. Most importantly Leo needs a devoted, loving, responsible owner(s) who can love him as much as he would them.

Trixie

From Foster Mom:
My daughter rescued this little dog and now we really need to find her a home. I took her to the vet and got her rabies shot, checked out for heart worms, and worms (all negative), bought her a collar, gave her a bath, and frontline. She is so sweet and really needs a lot of love. We have named her Trixie but Mocha does not appreciate the divided attention that she is receiving. The vet said she looks like a chihuahua mix but then listed on her paperwork as rat terrier. He also estimated that she is 12 1/2 years old. Please let me know if you have room for her in your family or if you know someone that does.

Contact Amy Moore if interested. 706-340-2235 or amy@hopehaven.net.

Kittens

From Owner:
I have two kittens available for adoption and here is their story and pictures: Sometime around the beginning of March, I was adopted by a pregnant cat. She literally walked in my back door and didn't give a hoot that my 60 pound pit/lab mixed dog was already there. She made herself quite at home and is the friendliest cat I have ever met. Never a bite or a scratch and she loves to be petted. On March 12 she delivered five kittens as I was sitting beside her on the couch. I have found homes for two of the kittens and I am keeping the mom and one of the kittens, and that leaves two kittens available for adoption. They are both female and have been Kitten

'humanized' since birth. I would love to keep them together because they enjoy playing together and also enjoy grooming each other frequently. This is not mandatory, but they would appreciate it. They are about eight weeks old and ready to find themselves a loving forever home. My contact information is: Jan Jolly 404)626-1712 or quilterjan@bellsouth.net. Their pictures are below. Thanks so much for reading this and helping me to find homes for these beautiful and loving felines.

Kitten

From Owner:
I have a petite Calico kitten about 7 to 8 weeks old - she is small but every inch a lady- she plays lots but also loves to lay in your lap also! Her mom was only about a year old when she had litter, I have managed to find all of them a home except her (and the mom cat). She is calico, orange, black, white- tiny but very healthy eating on her own. She is so sweet, please help me find her a good home.

Kenny
From Foster Mom: Kenny

Kenny is a playful young dog, found as a stray, who bonds quickly and tightly to people. He loves to ride in a car, and go for walks or runs. The long walk on the top of the Hartwell Dam is a favorite. He quickly learned to sit on command for treats or a pat on the head, and completed U.S. Canine’s two week boarding-training program on March 3, 2011. He has lots of energy, and loves to play. However, he is not polite to cats.

Kenny is a relatively small boxer mix, about a year old, and weighs about 35 pounds. He is crate-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations and parasite preventives. Kenny is ready to find a forever home where he can live inside, play outside, and give and receive lots of love. To meet Kenny, please call Margaret Kiemele at 706-376-6404 or 404-983-6094. Kenny and Margaret live in Hartwell, Georgia, and Margaret will be glad to bring Kenny to meet you.

Noodle

From Owner:
This is Noodle and she needs a good home! She is approximately 1 to 1 ½ years old and is spayed and current on her shots. She is HIV and Feline Leukemia negative. She is called Noodle because when you pick her up, she drapes herself over your arm like a wet noodle! She is very affectionate and likes to rub her face against your nose! Please call Kathy at 706-255-1144, or e-mail at kdhardman@yahoo.com if interested. Thanks!

Macy

From Foster Mom:
Hi there! My name is Miss Macy May. I am a people-loving pit mix just looking for a forever home. My foster mom found me in her driveway one night after a scary thunderstorm and I’ve been hanging out with her ever since. Although I wasn’t looking my best, she saw immediately how sweet I am. We’ve taken a few trips to the vet and I’m now up to date on my vaccinations, on flea/tick medication, and have been spayed. I’m heartworm positive, but, for now, I am taking heartguard for to prevent any further damage.

I haven’t been observed around kids, so I may need to be with grown-ups. Also, it’s tough to tell how I’ll do around other doggies. I probably need to be an only dog or to go to a home that can socialize me with other dogs slowly. As far as manners, I’m energetic but eager to please! I’m already potty-trained and know my basic commands. I’m not trying to brag, but I’m also pretty good on a leash (unless there’s a dog or deer to distract me). If you’re looking for a sweet girl to spoil you, contact my foster mom, Jaclyn at 919-599-7088 or email her at jaclyn@uga.edu. Thanks!

Ruby

From Foster Mom: RUBY is an amazing dog. She is around 55 lbs and a little over a year old. She was taken from her owners when she was only a puppy because the owners were dog fighting. Ruby was too young to have fought but b/c she was involved in a cruelty case, she has lived her whole life in animal control She is now just a year old and finally out of animal control and ready for a new life with a loving forever family.

RUBY loves everybody she meets. Shes an incredibly loyal dog and will just stare right in your eyes and melt your heart. She loves to cuddle Ruby has a lot of energy and would do great with kids or in an active household where she can play outside and go for walks.
Ruby does not do well with smaller dogs, female dogs, or cats. She do best as an only dog or with a larger male dog.

Ruby has never been trained and has a lot of energy. We are very lucky to have someone who is willing to sponsor Ruby for two whole weeks of intense in house training with a very Ruby

skilled local dog trainer, Byron Haygood of B. Good Dog Behavior Modification. She will go into training as soon as she finds a foster home or permanent home.

Ruby is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered. Please consider making Ruby, the smiling dog, a part of your family. Contact me Lauren 404-372-3408 or email at LMcKnight1@gmail.com

Casper

From Foster Mom: Casper was abandoned in Oconee County, starving and with many of his whiskers burned off. Despite being neglected and abused, he has the sweetest personality. After a rough life, we want to find him the loving home that he deserves.

Casper is a healthy cat except for having FIV. He needs an indoor-only home with no other cats or a home with another FIV kitty. FIV kitties can live long, fulfilling lives when kept indoors. FIV is not contagious to people or dogs, just cats.

He is very loving and gentle and is longing to live the rest of his days with a family that loves him. He is a very calm cat and would be a great lap cat and companion. Please call Julie at 662-816-5600 or Diane at 706-207-4658
