Adoptable Georgia Dogs for March 18, 2014 “Short timers”

In honor of the impending end of the (first) 2014 Session of the Georgia General Assembly, we present these dogs whose time is also short, unless they find a foster or permanent home. “Urgent list” means impending euthanasia. To be on the sage side, assume these dogs need a commitment and paperwork filed by 4 PM today to save them.

Essie is a small, female German Shepherd mix, about three years old. She’s shy and friendly and knows a couple of commands. She is on the urgent list, awaiting foster or adoption at Barrow County Animal Shelter in Winder, Ga.

Roy is a five-year old Black Lab mix who is very friendly. This is the perfect age to adopt, in my opinion, as he’ll still be young enough to have fun, run, and play, without the edge of insanity that puppies often bring. That touch of grey on the snout tells you his best years are ahead of him. Roy is on the urgent list, in need of an adoptive or foster home, at the Barrow County Animal Shelter in Winder, Ga. Seriously, folks, he’s pleading for his life here.

Dahlia is a gorgeous young Lab mix, though her brindle-over-white coat and lean, long-legged build suggest Italian Greyhound or Whippet heritage to me. She looks like she’d make a fantastic running buddy or couch hound. She is on the urgent list and waits for her foster or adoptive home at Barrow County Animal Shelter in Winder, Ga.
