Adoptable Georgia Dogs for August 19, 2013

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears….

So begins the speech by Mark Antony in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, which I was required to learn and recite in high school. Probably one of the most-memorized speeches from Shakespeare.

Sawyer is a young, male hound dog who is available for adoption from ARF– Animal Rescue Foundation of Rome/Floyd County. He’s a big old love bug who gets along with everyone he meets, human or canine and loves to play.

Landon is working the one ear up, one ear down look; he’s about six months old, a yellow lab mix, and is available for adoption from ARF-Animal Rescue Foundation of Rome/Floyd County. Patches is an adult Shih Tzu mix who lost an eye in an attack by another dog. He’s sweet and can get along with his limited vision; available for adoption from ARF – Animal Rescue Foundation of Rome/Floyd County, Ga.

Meme is a tiny brindle puppy with white socks, belly, chest, and tail tip. She’s about ten weeks old and seven pounds; happy-go-lucky and loves everyone she meets. She is available for adoption from Rome-Floyd County Humane Society, Rome, GA.

Today’s theme and dogs were chosen by Mrs. GaPundit, who thinks each of the dogs above has awesome ears.
