Lolita is a 1.5 pound female Chihuahua mix who is described as “a bouncy, curious, affectionate pup who’s about the size of a wind-up toy.” She is available for adoption at Athens-Clarke County Animal Control in Athens, Ga.
Rudy, a 33-pound, 4-6 month old Pibble mix is a submissive and quiet little boy, but don’t be fooled – he lights up with gentle petting and loves to cuddle close. Like any puppy, he needs some training but because he’s very eager to please it shouldn’t be hard to teach him what you expect from him. Rudy has a beautiful coat and has been taken care of by someone, and he seems well-socialized with both people and dogs. He didn’t mind having his feet or ears handled and, in general, just seems like a laid-back pup. If you’re looking for a new family member who is old enough to sleep through the night, but young enough to still engage in puppy antics, you should come meet Rudy, who is available for adoption at Athens-Clarke County Animal Control in Athens, Ga.
Rufus is a 70-pound, 9-month old Lab/Shepherd mix. These early pictures don’t do justice to how handsome, goofy and playful Rufus is. (His movie, which is coming shortly, represents him much better.) There’s still a baby brain in that big body, so he jumps up and runs around as if he were a little puppy, causing unintentional mayhem at times. But his puppy brain also makes him a real lover – when you pet him he’ll lean in, close his eyes and melt against you – and will stay that way as long as you let him. Although Rufus jumps up, he will eventually sit for a treat, so he may have some initial training and is just too new and excited to show it reliably. In addition to a happy, affectionate temperament, Rufus is extremely handsome, and looks a lot more shepherd than lab to me. He’s got that long shepherd snout with a big black rubber nose on the end. Rufus is a big precious oaf who will mature into an awesome adult dog with some loving guidance from a very lucky family!
He’s a puppy in a great big body, who loves to run and jump and play, and gives kisses when he takes a breather. Rufus is available for adoption at Athens-Clarke County Animal Control in Athens, Ga.
Mink is a 5-year old, 61-pound hound mix who is called Mink because of his beautiful coat. He is a total gentleman – loves being petted (he has a sweet spot!) and never jumped up. Because he was so new he wasn’t that interested in treats or playing – he was still trying to figure out where he was, but he enjoyed being with us. Somebody must be missing this wonderful guy. He’s at a great age – past any puppy nonsense, but still in the prime of life. He’s a special guy.
Mink is available for adoption at Athens-Clarke County Animal Control in Athens, Ga.
