Bobby is an adult male mixed breed dog who is available for adoption from Athenspets in Athens, GA.

From the shelter: Bobby and his buddy Copo came in together and share a kennel. They also share a love for cooling off in a pool. When one would step out, the other would step in. I couldn’t blame them; it was the heat of the day. Both are nice dogs. Bobby is more outgoing and came to me right away for pets and treats. Copo joined us, but his true happy place (with that thick coat) was in the pool.

Leeroy is a senior male mixed breed dog who is available for adoption from Athenspets in Athens, GA.

From the shelter: I love Leeroy! He’s a happy, good-natured fellow with lots of joy and smiles to share. He was thrilled to join me in the interaction pen, and the first thing he did was hop on the table as he’d seen other dogs do for a treat. Of course, he earned one, and he also earned them for lots of good sits. He lounged or sat in the pool to stay cool and enjoyed every minute of his time outside. He’s a super buddy who appreciates every bit of attention he gets.

Spike is a young male mixed breed dog who is available for adoption from Athenspets in Athens, GA.

From the Shelter: Spike came in with his best friend Jumper and seems to depend on his buddy to feel safe. He wasn’t interested in treats until Jumper started enjoying them, and when I tried to take Spike back to his kennel first, he wasn’t having it and wanted to stay with Jumper. Still, Spike is a sweet dog and has the most adorable hound dog ears.

Floyd County Commissioners will consider adopting an ordinance requiring spay/neuter of pets, according to the Rome News Tribune.

The ordinance was proposed in the wake of an explosion in stray animals that has filled up PAWS, the Floyd County Public Animal Welfare Services facility on North Avenue. Animal control officers are no longer picking up strays unless they are injured or a danger to people.

While the board normally meets in the evening, a change in the time for Tuesday’s session was approved on Sept. 26, along with the cancellation of the Dec. 26 meeting.

Also on the agenda is a nonbinding resolution urging the governor and legislature “to continue efforts to reform and improve mental health services for the citizens of Georgia.”

Hi everybody! This big, beautiful blockhead of a hunk is named Brutus. Brutus wanted to be independent and explore this busy world but that expedition was cut short and he was kindly brought to the shelter on 9/16. Brutus would love very much to get out of the shelter so he can continue those adventures but he would rather experience them with you. He is on a quick search to find his loving family that will take care of him, be patient with him, and guide him to be an amazing adult pup. Brutus would be a perfect addition to an active/adventurous family who would love to take him on adventures and make wonderful memories. He is very sweet and his coat is oh so silky and soft. So at one point in Brutus’s life someone took care of him. He is a smart little boy as he knows how to sit when asked and he may know more. He is eager to please and would be a model student. So give him the time and patience and love to train him properly and he will ace everything you teach him. Plus some hugs and kisses too. He also loves his treats and toys!

Roxy is a female adult Chihuahua mix who is available for adoption from the Cobb County Animal Shelter in Marietta, GA.

Meet Roxy, an adorable 4-year-old female dog weighing in at 14 lbs. Roxy entered the shelter on September 28, 2023, following a difficult circumstance that led to her owner having to surrender her. Despite the challenges, Roxy remains irresistibly cute with a sweet but initially shy disposition. She has already demonstrated her good manners by promptly sitting on command. Roxy’s previous caregiver explained that she belonged to a parent who was unfortunately deported, leaving her unable to continue caring for the pup. Roxy is reported to be house trained, making her an ideal companion for a loving home. She has proven to be good with children and gets along well with other animals, though it’s advisable that she be placed in a home without cats. Currently located in Run #323, Roxy is already spayed and will be microchipped before adoption for added security. This little sweetheart is up to date on all her vaccines, and a heartworm test will be conducted before she finds her new forever home. If you’re ready to provide a warm and caring environment for Roxy, please consider welcoming her into your life. Her identification number is 649577, and she is eagerly waiting to become a cherished member of a loving family.

Jasper would do best in an active family since he is young, playful, and athletic! He’d love to be someone’s adventure and/or running buddy!

Tootsie is a young female Labrador Retriever & Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix puppy who is available for adoption from the Newnan Coweta Humane Society in Newnan, GA.

Look at that face! This beautiful young girl is a typical happy, energetic pup, bursting with love and playfulness. Her favorite pastimes include wrestling with her sister, playing with toys, playing with people, getting her belly rubbed… well, you get the idea! She would love a home where she has lots of play and exercise, preferably with another dog for company. She’s a very affectionate little pup who’s eager to take on all life has to offer. Tootsie would make a great family dog but is best suited to a family with bigger kids, as she is still young and can be a bit too bouncy or scratchy for young children who aren’t used to puppies. She would love a patient and loving family who will continue to teach her how to grow into a beautiful and well-behaved dog.

Mr. Boyle is an adult male Labrador Retriever mix who is available for adoption from the Newnan Coweta Humane Society in Newnan, GA.

Big Bronco Boyle (also known as Triple B) is house-trained, UTD on vaccines, neutered, and current on flea/tick and heartworm medication. He is currently being treated for heart worms and will continue his treatment after adoption until he tests negative. He is a Golden Lab mix, weighs about 100 pounds, and knows the commands SIT and PAW; he is learning the commands COME and STAY. We estimate his age at approximately 4 years old.

Bronco currently lives in a foster home with 2 high anxiety/energy male terriers, and he is the chill dog. Triple B is a laid back boy and has never met a stranger. He will require a fence or fence system as he wants to meet the neighbors and say hello to all. Bronco’s favorite toy is a large antler that brings him great joy. He will allow his canine brothers to eat out of his food bowl–he is not food possessive or a toy “guarder.”

Triple B would like a busy home with kids to play with or a home with other dogs. He would not do well being left alone by himself–he truly is a social creature and likes companionship. Bronco’s sweet, affable nature makes him an ideal companion for almost any busy family. He is non-reactive to dogs and cats–his easy going, gentle demeanor puts most other dogs to shame.
