Roxy is an 18-month old female Black and Tan Coonhound mix who is available for adoption from Augusta Animal Services in Augusta, GA.

Roxie is a 18 month old playful loving teenager. She enjoys the company of people (is use to children) and other dogs. She has not been around cats. She is housebroken and lets you know when it is time to take her out. She is a lap-loving baby who wants to be with you, lay with you, sleep with you and hang with you! Roxie likes to go for walks and car rides. Adventures await! She is a housedog but enjoys spending time in the fenced in backyard. Roxie knows: sit, down, give kisses, off, no, come, leave it and shake/paw. She has been loved and only knows love and kindness. Her owner was very sad to surrender her but he could no longer afford to take care of her properly.

Finley is a 6-month old male mixed breed puppy who is available for adoption from Augusta Animal Services in Augusta, GA.

Finley is a rambunctious 6 month old! He was just being himself – friendly, playful, curious and busy. He loves to play with squeaky toys and is working on going potty outside. He will walk on a leash. Finley loves to go for car rides. He is afraid of loud noises. He can be protective. He is crate trained. Finley understands – go get it, no, and treats.

Sharky is an adult male Terrier and Basset Hound mix who is available for adoption from Augusta Animal Services in Augusta, GA.

Calling all low-rider fans!! Youre gonna need a bigger boat ?? Because Sharky wants to be your boy. We think this playful, loving tennis ball enthusiast is a pit/basset hound mix, but no matter what he is, Sharky is a unique and lovable ball of fun. He is a handsome gentleman who looks like a pit with half-length legs. Sharky loves to play, both with other dogs and with toys. He gets along great with every person he meets, and once hes had a while to play hell settle in to bask in the sunshine, be loved on, and show you his very best land shark impersonation. Hes just an all around good boy, and I think anyone would be lucky to have him in their life. We promise, its totally safe to get in the water with our Sharky. If you’d like to meet him for yourself, just come down to AAS! Hes ready and waiting for a forever home.
Nicholas (above) is a medium to large-sized adult male mixed breed dog who lost his home when his veteran owner died and he is living outside at his owner’s old home. He has since then been living underneath the house guarding it and waiting for his owner to come home😢.
A kind neighbor feeds him but can’t keep him. I have called over 13 local shelters and no one will help me. Unbelievable really. He is a good boy who has been through a lot. I know with some love and patience he could be a good dog for somebody and live out his final years in happiness with someone to care for him. If anybody knows anyone who can adopt Nicolas it would mean the world to me. Every time I’m there he looks into my eyes and I can see he’s asking me to please help him. Harris County Animal Control said point-blank “he would likely be euthanized” if they get him. This is breaking my heart, and I’m trying desperately to find somebody who will give him a break. If you or anybody, you know could find it in your heart to take him in please call me.
If you think you can adopt, foster, or just give this good boy a cozy place to lay his head while he looks for his new home, please email me directly and I’ll put you in touch with the kind human who is trying to help Nicholas.

Moultrie-Colquitt County Humane Society helped local law enforcement with numerous dogs from a hoarding situation, according to WALB.

What started as a 911 call to a home quickly turned into a seizure of 14 dogs. The Moultrie-Colquitt Humane Society responded to this call with the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office. Both were able to work together to rescue the dogs.

“The reason why we closed today is because we kind of had all hands-on deck trying to get all 14 of the dogs that we took into custody today,” [Humane Society Executive Director Courtney] Azar said. “That way we can process them as far as medical, if they need to go to the vet or things like that.”

These dogs are now among the over 100 animals at the Shelter looking for a forever home.

“There are actually 102. Yesterday, we took in exactly nine dogs. And when we count those, the count goes back up to 102,” Azar said.

We are still working to learn what condition the dogs were in at the time of the seizure. But there is a way for the community to help. The shelter is asking for the public’s help through food donations

“On a weekly basis, we probably spend around, right now, without donations, about $400, $350-$400 just on food. So we’re asking for as much as we can, especially with the influx we’re having,” Azar said.

Sandy and Danny are a bonded pair of Chiweenie (Chihuahua & Dachshund mix) who are available for adoption form the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia in Brunswick, GA.

Sandy and Danny were abandoned at a property in Douglas, GA. Understandably, they have trust issues and have not known a lot of love in their lives. Danny is the more outgoing of the two, (meaning he will allow you to touch him and pick him up once he feels you are not a threat). Sadly, at this time, Sandy does not trust anyone but Danny to be around her. This bonded pair will need family with an abundance of patience to teach them about love and trust. Because of their previous experience with abandonment, Sandy and Danny will need to be closely monitored in order to keep them from running for what they consider a safe place. Sandy relies heavily on Danny for comfort and confidence. Both were heartworm positive but have already received treatment here. Sandy and Danny will need a very special adopter with a huge heart. We would love for an adopter to come and meet them and see how sweet they are and help them be all they can be. They definitely deserve a better life than abandonment and/or being separated at this point in their lives.

Baxter is an adult male Foxhound or Coonhound mix who is available for adoption form the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia in Brunswick, GA.

Baxter was transferred in from an open admission facility at maximum capacity. He is a very handsome tricolor hound who weighs in at 56 pounds. Because of his size and very strong hunting instincts he needs a family prepared to handle his energetic response to wildlife! When taken out for his photoshoot, he caught sight of a squirrel and let out that famous deep hound howl. It took a few minutes to successfully redirect his attention. Happily, Baxter is good with other dogs and loves people. He will make a great pet for someone, but an apartment is definitely not recommended. Baxter needs exercise and an active owner or family. Email reception@hsscg.org for an appointment to meet this very sweet boy or stop by Tuesday through Saturday 11 to 4. Baxter is neutered, microchipped, current on core vaccines and has tested negative for heartworms.

Scrabble is an adult male Bluetick Coonhound mix who is available for adoption form the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia in Brunswick, GA.

Scrabble is a mature boy transferred in from an open admission facility at maximum capacity. We believe him to be a purebred Bluetick hound, which makes his presence there even more of a mystery. Scrabble has that laid back demeanor that a lot of people look for. He is very gentle and easy going and maybe a bit of a couch potato. He just wants to sniff around on walks and take it easy. Scrabble might be a great addition for a quiet, not very active owner or family who appreciate each other just the way they are. Email reception@hsscg.org for an appointment or stop by Tuesday through Saturday 11 to 4. Scrabble is neutered, microchipped, current on core vaccines and has tested negative for heartworms.

Macon Bibb County is offering free pet adoptions this month, according to 13WMAZ.

They say you have to fill out an application with basic information, and the adoption process takes about 30 minutes.

Tracey Weathers with Macon-Bibb says they are hosting the free adoption event because of the increase in animals at the shelter.

“With Spring coming up, we’ve got an influx of puppies and kittens, and so we really need to make room here at our facility, so we decided we would do free adoptions for the month of May for an approved adopter,” Weathers said.

If you’re interested in adopting, you can stop by Bibb Animal Services at 4214 Fulton Mill Road.

They’re open Tuesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The shelters hope to encourage more families to adopt dogs or cats that are waiting for their “furever” home.

Tenille is a young female Labrador Retriever and Poodle mix puppy who is available for adoption from Castaways Pet Rescue in Darien, GA.

Hi, I’m Tenille. I’m a very energetic little girl that does great with kids and other pets. I really need activity because I’m super smart! I’m a Labradoodle so you know I don’t shed much, but I do need grooming and brushing occasionally. I am basically perfect, what are you waiting fur?!!!

Lakota Riggs is an adult male Rottweiler & Cane Corso mix who is available for adoption from Castaways Pet Rescue in Darien, GA.

“Kota” is a sweet dog with a very strong personality! He needs a home with no other dogs or cats. Suggest no children due to his size. Owner must use only positive reinforcement training to effectively work with this beautiful boy. He has some basic commands mastered but gets excited easily since he is a young dog. Foster can answer questions for prospective adopters

Ember is a female Affenpinscher mix who is available for adoption from Castaways Pet Rescue in Darien, GA.

As my name indicates, I was rescued from a house fire. I miss being in a home with someone that loves me. I would be great in an apartment because I have the quietest bark!! We think it might be from the smoke inhalation from the fire. I get along well with other animals and kids. I am waiting for a good home, I have lots of love to give!
