Slinky is a young male mixed breed puppy who is available for adoption from Athenspet in Athens, GA.

From Slinky’s Foster for the Fourth: “I have had the pleasure to get to know Slinky. He absolutely loves to snuggle. He is smart and sits to take his treats like a perfect young pup. He gets along with other dogs. Those ears and that face are irresistible. I hope he can find the perfect home.”

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

Tigga is as cute and sweet as he can be. He’s always smiling and has the most adorable ears. Tigga sits for treats and liked being with me in the shade–the closer, the better so he could get all the lovin’ and treats he desired. Tigga quickly stole my heart.

Simba is a young adult male mixed breed dog who is available for adoption from Athenspet in Athens, GA.

Simba- what a handsome boy!! This sweet pup is coming back from his foster home for the holidays and would love to find his forever home. Here’s what his foster mom had to say about him:

“Simba is the best boy EVER! He is housetrained and crate trained, and so well-behaved! He will sleep all day long in your bed or will sleep in his crate if you prefer.” He is super smart and knows allll the tricks: he knows “sit,” “lay down,” “paw,” and even “slow” on walks! He has totally come out of his shell and is so cuddly.

Fleur is a young female Labrador Retriever mix puppy who is available for adoption from Furever After Rescue in Macon, GA.

Hi everyone! My name is Fleur and I’m one of the Harry Potter pups. My foster mom asked me to tell you about myself, so here goes. I am a big pup. Maybe not so big, but I am over 15 pounds now. And I am the biggest in my family. I love spending time with my friends (my littermates). We love hanging together – running, wrestling, playing and just being together. I also love being with people (my foster mom and dad are great!) and with the big dogs at my foster home. I am ready to move on to what my mom told me will be my “furever home.” I don’t really care where it is, and I’m sure I’d be happy whether I get to live with other dogs or if I would be the only pup in the family. But what I really want is a family of my own. Would you like to be my family? My foster mom says I should mention that I’m with my foster family in Eatonton, GA, but I’ll be ready to go home with my new family soon.

Fleur is a Lab mix pup. Her mama is a typical Labrador Retriever – friendly, outgoing and affectionate – and Fleur is just like her mama. Dad is unknown. The scoundrel left the pups’ mama on her own to birth and raise the puppies – so it’s a good thing that Mama Minerva was a wonderful mom! Fleur and the other Harry Potter pups are up to date on their vetting – in addition to being spayed/neutered, they are microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, worming, and heartworm and flea / tick prevention. But they’re still just babies who will need adopters who will commit the time to house train them, teach them manners, and to make sure that they get plenty of exercise and playtime. Adopters will need to be committed to managing normal puppy behavior such as chewing, potty training and leash training. Due to the high level of care and attention a young puppy needs, we will be looking for homes where the pups will not be left alone for hours at a time.

Luna is a young female Labrador Retriever mix puppy who is available for adoption from Furever After Rescue in Macon, GA.

This sweet little girl is Luna. She’s one of a litter of ten Lab mix pups in the Harry Potter litter. Luna is a little sweetheart. Her heart’s desire is to be held tight and loved on endlessly. Luna is her mama’s mini-me in both looks and personality, like her mama she is a sweet and loving girl. As a Lab mix, she has an easygoing personality who will bond with your entire family and who will socialize well with neighbor dogs and humans alike. She is a happy girl, content to run and play with her littermates or snuggle with her people. She also loves walks and playing with other dogs. Luna loves life at her foster home, but she’d be even happier to head home to her own furever family. She is in Eatonton, GA now, but she’s ready to move on to her furever home soon. Are you ready for a little sweetheart to join your family?

Sassy is a year-old, 40-pound female Labrador Retriever mix who is available for adoption from Furever After Rescue in Macon, GA.

House trained/Crate Trained: Working On It/Yes

Dogs/Cats/Children: Yes/Yes/Yes

Energy Level: High Energy (I am a puppy after all!)

Things I like: Treats, toys, play time with friends, lots of attention.

Things I don’t like: Being alone for too long

Things that make my humans happy: How sweet and Playful I am!

Jennabell is a young female Hound mix puppy who is available for adoption from Coastal Pet Rescue in Savannah, GA.

Jenabell loves people. She follows you everywhere and comes when you ask her. She is friendly with other dogs. She is playful, listens to “no”, picks up on commands pretty quickly, hasn’t pottied inside, loves to be pet, held and snuggled. She is just a ball of joy and fun. Easy to love.

Walnut is a young male Hound mix puppy who is available for adoption from Coastal Pet Rescue in Savannah, GA.

Walnut is a full energy puppy! He loves to run and play and chase his sister and foster sisters. He’s been learning the no and leave it command very quickly. He would love a home with a large fenced in yard where he would be able to run and play. I would definitely recommend having another playful high energy dog as a companion or be someone who will enjoy lots of walks and playing!

Rhett is a 9-year old male Chihuahua mix who is available for adoption from Coastal Pet Rescue in Savannah, GA.

Rhett doesn’t need a bowtie and vest to prove he’s a gentleman. He will let you know by the way he lifts his head and barks “Hello, how are you today?” Our volunteers describe him as sweet, used to bark (but not so much anymore) and loves wet food as a result of recent dental work. He walks with a purpose, not to get anywhere in particular, just to let you know he’s got a lot of pep left in his step! We think he is house trained, although because he has not been in a foster home, we are not 100% sure. His bedding and living area seem to stay clean. Rhett loves everyone with the exception of cats and some other dogs so proper introductions are necessary. He’s not selfish with his person and is willing to share, but on his own terms.

Smoke is a 13-year old, 80-pound male Labrador Retriever mix who is available for adoption from the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter in Lawrenceville, GA.

From a Facebook post by volunteers:

This DESPERATE plea is for Smoke a 13yo Lab mix weighing 80lbs. Smoke came to us on August 22nd after his owner fell on hard times.

Smoke is your typical senior. All he wants to do is eat and sleep. Walks really aren’t his cup of tea as his previous owner let us know he has hip dysplasia. This sweet old man knows how to sit and will show you for a small fee of 1 treat.

His previous owner took their time to love him. He’s just waiting for someone to come love him again.

If you can find it in your heart to help this senior guy, it would be greatly appreciated! PLEASE reach out to me for more information.

If you can’t pull him, PLEASE help us promote him to other rescue organizations you may know.

You can contact me at 678-245-2447 or by email at AnimalRescue@GwinnettCounty.com

Camden County and the local Humane Society have ended their collaboration, according to The Brunswick News.

Seth Collins, Camden County’s deputy county administrator, said the only requested change in the new agreement was for county representation to be added to the board of directors. He pointed out the county was the Humane Society’s primary funding source.

“It’s what we were hoping for so we could have increased transparency and accountability,” he said. “It would have led to more understanding on the ground level. They decided against that.”

Dave Brown, the Humane Society’s president, said the county’s proposal was to have a majority of county officials on the organization’s board of directors.

“They tried to stack the board,” Brown said. “This was a counter offer two days after we signed an agreement for the upcoming fiscal year.”

Camden County was unprepared for the Humane Society to cancel its long-time agreement with the county, which was paying $14,000 for the shelter’s services.

The Humane Society shelter is now no kill, but it is very selective in the animals they accept. No strays or animals captured by animal control officers are accepted.

Drewls Barrymore is a young female Labrador Retriever mix who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Camden County in Kingsland, GA.

Class clown seeks good-humored soul mate ready to let the good times roll. My playful jokes, love of all things chewable and slapstick comedy will keep you and your friends doubled over laughing for hours. When I hog the spotlight, just let me know the joke’s over and I’ll settle down. Recommend 6 years and older.

Buttercup is an adult female mixed breed dog who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Camden County in Kingsland, GA.

I’m a fun-loving, happy-all-the-time, glass-is-half-full kind of dog looking for someone who loves to laugh and play around. Must have a great sense of humor and some time to spend with me. I’m a dog on a mission to please you. Recommend children 6 years and older.

Arlene is a young female mixed breed puppy who is available for adoption from the Humane Society of Camden County in Kingsland, GA.

Go Getter – want to get more exercise? Action is my middle name. My “”Let’s go!”” lifestyle will keep you motivated to get outside and move. I’ve got tons of energy; and just like the sun, I’m burning and working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I’ll run for miles, chase a ball for hours, and still want to play at the end of the day.

Coastal Pet Rescue will return from evacuation ahead of Idalia, according to WTOC.

“We had 41 dogs and cats and kittens that needed to be removed and by Tuesday at 7 p.m. All of them were out.”

Coastal Pet Rescue director Lisa Scarbrough says they started hurricane prepping last Friday urging people to house the animals during the storm.

She says aside from damage to the kennel roof, they came out okay.

She says even being at full capacity, all animals had safe places to stay during the storm.

“Being able to send the animals out to fosters closer-by makes everything a little bit easier. but like I said, we started on Friday moving pets and that advantage of having additional days made sure everyone was placed by Tuesday evening.”

She says a few animals have returned with rest coming back after Labor Day.

You can donate online to Coastal Pet Rescue and I’ll match up to $500. Just make your donation and email me to let me know what I owe in matching.

Zander is a young male Labrador Retriever or Hound mix who is available for adoption from Coastal Pet Rescue in Savannah, GA.

Zander is a little love bug. He wants all of the snuggles, all of the time. He prefers being with his people, even over playing with his litter mates – which he still very much likes to do. As the runt of the litter, he puts on a tough front with the pack and will be the first to get everyone riled up. When he’s not snuggled up in your lap, he loves to play with squeaky toys and will proudly bring them to your feet. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, sweet-as-can-be puppy, Zander is the guy for you.

Thor is a young male Wire Haired Terrier mix who is available for adoption from Coastal Pet Rescue in Savannah, GA.

Thor found himself in rescue after his owner passed away. He can be a little stand-offish when he first meets new people and it takes him a few minutes to be comfortable with new people. He would do best placed in a home without young children. He is housebroken and does wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home, as well as the children (after very slow introductions). He loves to sleep in the bed and sit by you anytime of the day.

Stormy is a young male Shih Tzu and/or Terrier mix who is available for adoption from Coastal Pet Rescue in Savannah, GA.

Stormy was one of a group of dogs that were dumped in Midway and were trapped and rescued by one of our volunteers. It has taken Stormy awhile to come around with our volunteers, but after some patient daily contact, he has started to show his playful personality. Being a long-haired dog, he was a hot mess after being in the woods for several days and was just recently groomed close to allow his coat to start over. We believe that Stormy could be a shih tsu/terrier mix. He is learning to be playful with people and has always gotten along with the smaller dogs at our facility. Trust is something that an adopter will need to earn from Stormy, but we believe he will be an affectionate playful boy with the right owner, Due to the nature of his previous life and the known fact he is a runner, A SECURELY FENCED YARD IS REQUIRED.
