Amber
From owners: Amber is a 2 and ½ year old Pit Bull Mix and has lived with us for a year and a half. She is very loving and affectionate and enjoys being the center of attention. She has learned “sit” and “wait” and will wait for a release word for her food and is completely house trained. We have a 9 month old child and Amber is very good with him but finding “sharing attention” difficult. Amber gets on very well with our other dog (Lab/Pit mix) but shows signs that she prefers to be the dominant dog.
Amber loves playing fetch with her toys and long walks; she is very good on her leash. Amber attends Pawtropolis on a regular basis and is a well loved member of their pack. Amber would be well suited to a family with older children or person with a lot of time to lavish her with affection – preferably as an only dog. Current on all vaccinations and heartworm + flea medications. Micro-chipped and comes with a crate and bowls, if wanted. Please contact Jason or Suzi 678-661-0130 for further information or to set up a visit.
Harley
It is estimated that Harley is about 1 year old. He appears to be an American Bulldog mix. He was found darting through traffic. After catching him it was discovered that Harley is deaf. The gentleman who found him is willing to keep him a while so that a home can be found. He says that he is doing fantastic about not pottying in the house and will even come to him when he needs to go outside. Thought he's only had him for a short time he appears to be a great dog. Deaf dogs can be trained just as easily as hearing dogs however their owners have to be committed to putting the time in. They often become more intuned to the owner learning to read body language, hand cues and really being loyal to their humans. If you are interested contact Leonard at 678-231-3711.
Chloe
From Foster Home: Chloe is a beautiful tabby-calico mix, who needs a great forever home as soon as possible . She is between 1 ½ and 2 years old, spayed, has had her shots, and is negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia. I rescued Chloe a few months ago from an apartment complex, where she had been abandoned by a tenant, along with 2 other mothers and a total of 9 kittens. When I rescued her, she was very skinny, but managed to keep her 4 kittens fed, and they now have great new homes, and she has gained weight, going from 5 pounds to around 7 pounds now.
Miraculously, I managed to find new homes for all 12 cats, but unfortunately Chloe's new home has not worked out, because she is living with a very hyper Yorkshire Terrier, who keeps harassing her, so she is hiding in a bathroom all the time. Obviously, this is not much of a life, and I am anxious to find her a new home as soon as possible. I think she'd do best as an only pet or with a laid-back, non-aggressive dog or cat. She is a bit shy after all she has been through, but she soon warms up and loves affection. She really is a sweetie and deserves a great home. I have attached a couple of photos. Please contact Deborah Stanley at dstanley@uga.edu or 706 548 8486 if you are interested in meeting Chloe
Chip and Riley
From previous owner Lisa Browning:
As you know they are the cutest things on the planet. They have been frequent visitors of Doggie Daycare there at Pawtropolis. They do get along well with other pets and also with kids. They have had puppy preschool with Kathy. They don't bark much so very quiet. They have been create trained and stay together in a large one. I would prefer to have them go together but I understand if that's not possible.
This is breaking my heart and you know these have been pampered babies. We will miss them very much but need them to find a good home ASAP. They are for FREE and I will also give their creates, 2 dog houses, and other belongings. They have both been micro chipped at well. If anyone is interested please call me at (706) 380-5472. I will be moving in a little over a week and new place won't let me have them. I hope someone will see them and want to give them a loving home!!
Peaches and Mary Grace
The short haired one is Peaches, long hair is Mary Grace (goes by Gracie). They are sisters, found as kittens at a church in Colbert, GA. Dr Fred Jackson and his wife took them in and had them until they moved to California 2 years ago (Dr Fred was our medical director at VistaCare). We at the office agreed to take them in and they have been with us ever since.
The time has come for us to find them new homes and it is our hope that we will find someone that would be willing to take them both as they have been together their entire lives. Peaches personality is laid back, loves to be around people. Gracie is the more skittish one but does attach herself to certain folks. They cannot go to a house with dogs....I feel sure other cats would be okay. Both of their vaccinations are up to date. We have been taking them to Firehall 4. Gracie had to have surgery about a year ago for a really bad bladder infection and received "kitty xanax" daily
rubbed on the inside of her ear to keep her bladder calm. Both have settled nicely into the routine and are doing great.
Their routine yearly stuff is due in February. They are 5-6 years old. We feed them a special diet to decrease the occurrence of UTIs, Peaches has never been to the vet since we have had her except for her routine stuff. They like fresh air but are not outside cats. They would enjoy a home with a screened in back porch. They come with their beds, liter boxes, left over litter, food, etc. Their scratching pole is pretty worn out. They aren't very playful as they prefer just laying around.
If interesteed call
706 369 9888 from 8-5 Mon thru Fri ask for Debbie.
Token
Token belongs to a client of Pawtropolis who is no longer able to keep him. He is 9 years old and is a husky/corgi mix. He really looks like a white german shepherd on short legs but it is confirmed that mom was a husky. Token is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. Token is good with children, cats and basically anyone he meets. He enjoys the company of other dogs and does well in the daycare at Pawtropolis. Token is already housetrained and enjoys staying near his person. He sleeps on a blanket near his owner's bed. For more information contact Ms. Moore at 678-234-3416.
Cadillac
We have a 1-2 year old hound (red bone?) mix that DESPERATELY needs a home or a foster. She is heartworm negative and will be spayed by the time she is adopted out. "Cadillac" is a sweetheart who loves to play fetch and just be with you. She has a very high "praise drive." :-)
If you are interested contact Dr. Wellman at (706)248-9392 or 770-725-6162.
Rhett
Rhett is a friendly one-year old male Whippet mix; the family that pulled him from Animal Control simply cannot exercise him regularly. He is neutered, heart-worm negative, up-to-date on shots and on flea preventative. Rhett is a very active dog and would make someone a great running/walking buddy. He also plays well with other dogs with his energy level.
Rhett would love a fenced yard of his own, but would be ok in an apartment, etc, if he got daily walks and some trips to the dog park. As having some apparent sighthound in him, Rhett should not be trusted off-leash without a fence. If you would like to meet this wonderful boy, please call
Ashley at 706-870-7274 anytime before 9:00 PM, or email Melanie at wdmln3@hotmail.com.
