Lucy is a young female Boxer mix puppy who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Northwest Georgia in Dalton, GA.

Lucy is happy, healthy, and loves to play. She would be perfect for a family with older children that enjoy an active lifestyle. Lucy is a chunky monkey who loves toys of all kinds and enjoys a rough and tumble play style. Lucy makes friends easily with other dogs.

Ethel is a three month old, female Boxer mix with a playful happy-go-lucky personality. This girl is a sweetheart any family would enjoy. Ethel is very affectionate and outgoing. She will be a large dog when fully grown and is full of youthful energy. Her best fit would be a family with older children that enjoy an active lifestyle. Daily walks or rambunctious outdoor play are all part of her daily routine. Ethel enjoys playing ball and chasing around the play yard with the other dogs in her playgroup. She loves making new friends and is never one to cause a fuss.

Iggy is a young male Boxer and Labrador Retriever mix puppy who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Northwest Georgia in Dalton, GA.

Iggy is a handsome, six month old, brindle Boxer/Lab mix that was relinquished by his owner after they decided their busy schedules didn’t leave much time for him. This adolescent pup needs an adult only home with a confident dog-savvy owner who has time to spend with him. Outside the shelter, Iggy is much more relaxed and has a blast playing with volunteers. He especially loves running in the open field next to our pond. If you enjoy an active lifestyle, Iggy would love to be your faithful companion. He has lots of energy and is always ready for adventure. 

In addition to pet adoptions, the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia in Gainesville also offers low-cost veterinary services, according to AccessWDUN.

Part of rescue work is helping and health, and the humane society offers a low cost clinic as a public service. Threadgill said pets can get their annual shots, varies treatments and alterations, all at a low cost.

While some may not feel like sterilization is a friendly option, Threadgill said it’s important to understand that the procedure does more than just act as a birth control for animals.

“Especially for cats, spay/neuter is super important because cats multiply and when you don’t spay and neuter, there are a lot of things that can happen,” Threadgill said. “Not only does it give in to the overpopulation of animals, but also animals can get sick if they don’t get spayed or neutered. Like I sad for cats, one of the reasons we have 47 cats here is that people are not spaying or neutering their pets and they are multiplying like crazy and they end up in a shelter.”

The spay/neuter clinic and wellness center are funded by the low-cost fees for services.

“Our adoption center is completely run by donations,” Threadgill said. “We couldn’t do it without the people today that are locked up and the people who are giving to bail them out.”

The 5th Annual Adoption Angel Lock In, dedicated to late longtime volunteer Lori VanScoten, raises money for the adoption program and center. The goal for the Lock In this year was $80,000, and Threadgill said if the goal was reached, dog adoption fees would be waived for a week in an effort to clear the shelter.

And, if you’re looking for a furry friend, Threadgill said Thursday the humane society has 47 cats – much more than usual - and 24 dogs available for adoption.

Damon is a young male Hound and Retriever mix puppy who is available for adoption from the The Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia
in Brunswick, GA.

Stefan and Damon arrived together and appear to be brothers. At 6 months of age, they have a lot to learn about manners such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, and other basic obedience. They have also apparently been pretty hungry at some point, as they are beginning to be a little protective of their food. We would not recommend that they stay together, as they have not shown themselves to be kissing cousins in any way. However, they may do quite well with other dogs, where they would also learn some doggie manners. We always recommend a meet and greet to get an idea how dogs would do together. Stefan and Damon are wonderful with people; come and see them for yourself.

Charlotte is a female Labrador Retriever mix who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Houston County in Warner Robins, GA.

This mom has had a rough life! Found pregnant as a stray, had puppies and now we find out she has heartworms. We will treat them but she will have to be on LOW activity for a few months. Scared of the dark – needs a nightlight. Snuggle bunny. She is in a foster home at the moment and not at the facility so she will require an appointment to be seen.

Duke is a male Beagle mix who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Houston County in Warner Robins, GA.

Duke was hit by a car and had to have surgery. He has recovered well with us! He gets along with some other dogs. He prefers kids over the age of 6 because the activity of smaller children makes him nervous. He is a sweet guy and loving! He does not show well inside a kennel. He is not a fan! But once he is out he is great!

Roxanne is a young female Dachshund mix who is available for adoption from Alcovy Pet Rescue, Inc. in Mcdonough, GA.

Roxanne was rescued from a NE GA shelter. She is approximately 1-1/2 – 2 years old. She was surrendered because she kept chasing the neighbors chickens and running away. Her former family did not have a fenced-in yard, which is a requirement for Roxanne. She is ridiculously mischievous and fun-loving! She has an overabundance of energy so is not suitable for apartment living. She will chase a cat, so a home with no cats is required, however, she LOVES other dogs, especially males and non-alpha female dogs. 

Roxanne is very affectionate with humans, but doesn’t enjoy being picked up and cuddled much – she’s more into playing non-stop and then collapsing in your arms to rest up for the next round of boisterous play! Roxanne is definitely crate-trained, and if you have a doggy-door, then she’s housetrained too. She knows how to sit on command and will come when called (most of the time, especially if a treat is involved!)

Cody is a young male Terrier mix who is available for adoption from Alcovy Pet Rescue, Inc. in Monroe, GA.

Cody is a 1 year old scruffy terrier mix, weighing 11 lbs. We got Cody from a local metro Atlanta animal coTroll. Cody had been living on the streets, fending for himself. For this reason, Cody is food aggressive and will need to be fed by himself in a crate. He is trained to go into a crate and sit and wait on his food. Cody does NOT like large dogs, so we recommend Cody have a private, fenced back yard area to exercise. Fenced yard will be verified. This dog IS NOT (yet) HOUSETRAINED. Cody needs some one who has time for him and would be beneficial to get basic obedience training.

Dancer is a young male Beagle Dachshund mix who is available for adoption from Alcovy Pet Rescue, Inc. in Monroe, GA.

Dancer is a happy-go-lucky Beagle/Dachshund mix. He is approximately 3 years old, but is very puppy-like. This little guy can leap straight up to grab a treat chest-high! He needs a fenced yard for sure. Dancer weighs about 21 lbs. and is solid muscle. He loves to play with everyone and enjoys the company of dogs. He does not share his food or bones with other dogs, so he must be crated while he is eating or fed separately. Dancer is cuddly and affectionate.
