New Years Resolution – Adoptable Dogs for January 6, 2014

The following dogs are brought to you by Mrs. GaPundit.

New Year’s Resolution: To volunteer

The Dog: Bojangles, from the Dolly Goodpuppy Society in Barnesville, Georgia.

Adult male Beagle mix. Bo is the perfect gentleman. He loves people and attention, does great with kids and was a big hit when he visited the nursing home over the holidays. This little guy is just a lover and would be an easy addition into any family. Besides, how could you say no to that face!? Email dollygoodpuppy@gmail.com for more information. Please complete an online application at dollygoodpuppy.org.

The Scoop: Bojangles, with his sweet personality and friendliness, was a huge hit when visiting the nursing home! We at GaPundit have seen firsthand what joy our Roxy brought to some nursing home residents a few years ago, and it is a noble calling.

New Year’s Resolution: To exercise

The Dog: Oreo, from Baldwin County Animal Control in Milledgeville, Georgia.

The Scoop: Your spouse may not love the idea of an early morning run, but a border collie will never say no to a brisk jog. This smiling girl is leash-trained, around 4 or 5 years old, and full of energy! She needs some serious playtime and running time; and lots of petting, of course.

Oreo is a female border collie mix, she’s approximately 4-5 years old. She’s very sweet and loving with people and kids, but due to her higher engergy level she might do better in a home with no small children. Oreo walks well on a leash, obeys basic commands and is an absolute sweetheart! She needs a person or family that will be active in playing with her and/or have a large fenced yard for her to play in.

New Year’s Resolution: To nurture spiritual gifts

The Dog: Maggie, from Homeward Bound Pet Rescue of Gilmer County

The Scoop: Maggie already knows her gift is to serve, and she wants a job. What she needs is someone to develop her gift(s) and put her to use. Is she good for children to read to? Is she meant to be trained for detection? Of course working dogs still keep the fun/snuggly qualities of being a regular pet.

Maggie is a VERY intelligent, leash trained, energetic border collie/blue heeler mix. She learns very quickly and is food motivated. Maggie will need a home that appreciates her need to work. She is friendly with both dogs and people. If you have the jobs and the training Maggie is ready to serve. Her wage requirements are low. She works for only food and love. Her brief period of unemployment will not last long. So call now!

Resolution: A new start

The Dog: Brownie, at the Humane Society of Terrell County in Dawson, Georgia.

The Scoop: Brownie was rescued from a drug dealer’s home. He is slow to trust – heaven knows what happened to him – but once he knows you, he bonds deeply. He is loving, calm, and not aggressive.

Brownie is an adult male shar pei mix, around 40 pounds, that was rescued from a home that was being used to sell drugs. Brownie is a truly wonderful dog once you get to know him but he is shy. There is not a mean or aggressive bone in his body-he is an absolute sweetheart when he gets to know you but you do have to earn his trust. Brownie is a very calm, laid back boy and would probably be better for a quiet home-he will bond very deeply with whoever adopts him. He is good with other dogs but would probably be happier if they are more calm and laid back like him.
