Pico is a young male Great Dane & Boxer mix puppy who is available for adoption from Little Nuggets Rescue in Snellville, GA.

Meet Pico! He is a happy ~ go-lucky puppy. Guessing birthdate to be 4/20/16. He was dumped on the side of the road. A good samaritan turned him into my vet’s office. We are only guessing his breed – Great Dane / Boxer because he is one big boy at only 6 months of age. Believe it or not, he is house trained. So smart!

Dellis is a male Coonhound & Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix who is available for adoption from Little Nuggets Rescue in Snellville, GA.

Hello – my name is Dellis. Would you like to have a happy go lucky kinda guy added to your family? Well, that’s me! I’m the sweetest baby. My foster mom taught me to sit. I’m very well mannered. If you have a lake, can I come swim? I love to run and jump in the water. My foster mom thinks I’m part duck! I’ve been with my foster mom since I was a puppy (rescued from a high kill shelter). Please give me a forever home. I’ll give you lots of kisses!

George is an adult male Coonhound and Pointer mix who is available for adoption from Little Nuggets Rescue in Snellville, GA.

Hello, my name is George. Would you like to add an easy going, laid back guy like me to your family? My birthday is February 3, 2011. My foster mom just started crating me and I must say that I am doing very well. Although, I would really prefer a family to allow me to roam the house. A plastic swimming pool on hot days is a PLUS since I love to stand in them. I promise to give you lots of kisses!

He loves to play with toys, but needs big ones like jolly balls. He has demodectic mange which is non contagious. He needs a monthly nexguard to keep it under control. He needs a home by himself or with one other large dog. He hasn’t met a dog he doesn’t like but he needs all your love and attention and prefers to spend it with you.

From the AJC:

Belinda Powell was charged after 350 dogs were found on a property she owned in Candler County on Saturday, and 100 more dogs were found on another property she owned in Montgomery County on Sunday, Channel 2 Action News reported. Powell was a German shepherd breeder.

They were found living in filthy conditions, and many had serious injuries, Channel 2 reported. Some will require months of treatment and care to recover.

Claudine Wilkins, founder of the nonprofit Animal Law Source, was at the Montgomery County rescue operation.

“We were walking in mud and feces up to our knees,” she told the news station. “It was so bad that the igloos that she had for the dogs were submerged in water. So there was no place for these dogs to stand in a dry spot.”

“It’s expensive. We have to house them, take care of them and vet them,” Wilkins said. “So these rescues that took them in need support.”

Rupert is a young male Mountain Cur and Shepherd mix puppy who is available for adoption from Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, Inc in Gillsville, GA.

Loretta is a young female English Coonhound who is available for adoption from Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, Inc in Gillsville, GA.

Loretta is a true survivor! After being picked up as a stray, she found herself in the back room of a high kill shelter in NE Georgia. Very few dogs leave the back room. The public is not allowed there for various reasons which baffles rescues, volunteers, and the public, but this is a conversation for another day. Sweet Loretta had her babies in this shelter – on a cold concrete floor with a thin sheet to keep her and her newborns warm.

Loretta is a beautiful Redtick English Coonhoud who prefers snuggling with her foster family while watching TV. She is very curious about the TV. She just stares and tilts her head when it’s on. One of the joys of fostering is watching an abandoned, unloved dog discover life indoors with a human family. Lorretta LOVES her thick, comfy bed. She will lay there for hours.

She is gentle with people, other dogs but does not like cats. Loretta is crate trained and has not had an accident in the house. When her foster family is not home, she is crated. She walks well on a leash but will pull when she catches a scent.

Patsy is a young female English Coonhound & Black Labrador Retriever mix puppy who is available for adoption from Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, Inc in Gillsville, GA.

Meet Patsy, one of Loretta’s (Redtick English Coonhound) puppies. We think Patsy’s daddy is a black lab which makes for a stunning combination. Patsy and her siblings were born around August 1st in a high kill shelter in NE Georgia. Their momma was skin and bones when picked up by Animal Control as a stray and it’s a miracle any of them survived. Patsy and her family not only survived but are thriving and ready to find their forever families.

The puppies have had all age appropriate vaccines, multiple deworming’s, and are full of puppy love and energy. If they are as smart as their momma, it won’t take long for them to figure out potty training. Since momma is considered a working breed, these pups should be in an active family. There are seven females and two males in the litter. We estimate them to be approximately 50 lbs when fully grown. The adoption fee covers spay/neuter, microchip, and any additional boosters needed.

Starla is a 2-4 month old, 28-pound, young female mixed breed puppy who is available for adoption from Athenspets in Athens, GA.

Starla is an adorable little hunk o’ love! She looks so serious in her pictures, but that’s only because she was concentrating on earning a treat and doing her best to please me and stay. MOST of the time, she was running to me to be loved on or bouncing with joy. You’ll just have to come see her smile in person! Starla is soft and sweet and would love to give you kisses all day. She can be shy about leaving the back of her kennel (it’s such a noisy place!), but if you go inside, talk sweetly, and maybe even offer her a treat, she’ll come running out wagging her tail. Believe me, you’ll fall in love with Starla!

Patty is a 4-6 month old, 22-pound female puppy who is available for adoption from Athenspets in Athens, GA.

Patty is a happy, bouncy pup. She’s not shy in the least and loves everyone. She likes to run and play with other dogs at the fence but call her to you and she’s there in seconds ready for pets and hugs. One way to get Patty to put the brakes on is to hold up a treat. You’ve got her attention now, and she’ll even sit for them. Patty is filled with joy and love and can’t wait to share both with a new family!

Peaches is a young female, 52-pound mixed breed dog who is available for adoption from Athenspets in Athens, GA.

Thanks to a grant from the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s license plate program, Peaches is spayed and up-to-date on her basic vaccinations!

Peaches never meets a stranger! She had just been surrendered but was thrilled to meet a new friend. She’s a happy, energetic dog who loves to run and have fun. She’d chase stuffed toys and toss them around and them come to me for pets and treats. She hasn’t been taught to sit, but she’s treat motivated and can learn. If you enjoy an active lifestyle and are looking for a companion to keep up with you, Peaches is your girl!
