Piper is another adorable puppy at the shelter, and looks the most like an American Bulldog of the three. He is a spunky, fun puppy that was so eager to play with the other puppies passing by him. He is going to grow up to be an absolutely beautiful boy, and is young enough to be molded by his owner into a well-rounded dog. Don’t hesitate to come meet him today!
Update 8/26: Piper is in rabies quarantine until September 3rd for nipping his brother.
Update 9/3: Piper is out of rabies quarantine and needs a rescue or adopter now. He is very much out of time in a very full pound.

Marcell is one adorable Chi mix. He is a little bigger than his friend Claire. Marcell is terrified at the pound. He doesn’t like walking on a leash near all the loud barking, and will lay down on the ground. He hovers to any person near by for love and to hide. My heart really went out for Marcell…he would be such a great dog if only given a second chance. I bet he is a lovebug, but too scared to be his playful self. Right now he is very submissive towards any weird noise or sudden movements. Come love on Marcell soon!

Claire is a really sweet little Chihuahua. She listens well and responds to positive contact and praise. Claire does well on the leash and even enjoys taking treats out of our hands despite not knowing us at all. She didn’t mind being held or petted. She was calm and quiet during the photo shoot. Claire would make a wonderful companion for just about any home.

Ace is one fun puppy. He has your typical puppy energy without being too hyper. He really loves chasing after tennis balls and play with anyone he meets, making him a little difficult to get a good picture of. He’s not quite sure what to do when a leash is put on him, so he would benefit from obedience classes and training at his new home. He would be a great addition to an active family who is willing to give him adequate exercise and play time. Come meet this cutie today!

Kit has a very sad story along with a whole caboodle of kids! Kit was found tethered outside with her babies (4 black and white puppies, 3 blue and white puppies, 2 dilute blue and white puppies) after a bad storm. The babies had no shelter from the weather or a way to get out of the mud. These tiny pups are just a few days old. Their eyes haven’t even opened yet! Kit was trying to be a good momma and defender her babies from anything that might harm them. Kit has not been available until now because she has been very nervous with people coming around her babies. Now that she has gained the staff’s trust, she is a perfect lady. Kit will come out and play with the staff for a short time and then she will go back to check on her babies. Kit is not much more than a baby herself. The staff judges that she may be just a little under a year. Kit is very good and lets the staff check on her kids. Kit is still a little weary of men but she is still learning how to trust again. But can you blame this girl for being nervous (a new momma and stuck in a loud and scary place)?? Kit’s situation is dire. She and her caboodle of babies need a place to stay until her puppies can find homes of their own. Because of this, Kit and her puppies are available to a rescue only. Come down and meet this wonderful momma and her caboodle of babies today!
There is generous sponsorship money available on Kit and her babies! If your Georgia licensed rescue group saves them, email Allyson at athenspets@gmail.com, and I will put you in touch with the sponsor. Thanks! Hurry!

Jack is a beautiful boxer here at the pound! He is pretty good on the leash and seems to be housebroken, seeing that he pottied right away when he got outside. Because he’s 3 years old, he isn’t as hyper as a lot of young boxers can be. He’s very affectionate and wanted to give me lots of kisses when I knelt down to pet him. He’s a great example of a boxer waiting for you to visit! Don’t hesitate to come meet him soon!

Bishop is a handsome and stunning fellow. He is not sure why he is here. Bishop’s owner decided that he could no longer take care of him so he brought him to Animal Control to find a new home. Bishop is looking for a family to give him a home where he will be love and spoiled rotten. This sweet boy is very sweet and loving despite being a little nervous. Bishop is not in the best of shape right now. He is very skinny and needed to gain some weight. He also has a few scratches on his muzzle. When Bishop was brought in, he got to meet another dog. Bishop was so excited that he did a puppy play bow and wagged his little nub of a tail so hard that his whole bottom wiggled with excitement. Because Bishop is an owner surrender and the shelter is packed to the brim and beyond, he has very little time to find his dream family. If you have been looking to welcome a new addition into your family, Bishop is ready! Come and meet this awesome guy today!

Murphy is a cute little Hound/Labrador puppy that has the cutest floppy ears. Murphy along with his two siblings were surrendered to the the shelter without explanation. The owner didn’t even leave their names! Murphy is a bit shy but who wouldn’t be with all the commotion at Animal Control. This sweet little baby is looking for a new family that is willing to take care of him for any years to come! Though shy, Murphy is still a bit of an adventurous puppy. Once he feels comfortable enough, he will start to explore his surroundings and you really get to see the cute, dopey puppy shine through! Because Murphy is an owner surrender. His time at Animal Control is very limited. Don’t miss out on this special fellow!

Sophie looks almost identical to her brother, Murphy (#31041). Sophie is an adorable little puppy. She has big long ears that look long enough to trip over! Sophie is a very reserved puppy that would probably do well with some obedience training to boost her self confidence. Sophie stayed close to me the whole time that I had her out. She was quite content to just sit in my lap and have her ears rubbed. Sophie is an owner surrender so she is looking for a family to come and scoop her up ASAP! This sweet little girl really really wants to have a family to call her own. Someone that will love and cherish her for the many fun filled years to come. Come meet this sweet little girl today!

Lily is such a cute and sweet little puppy. This beautiful little girl was surrendered with her siblings, Murphy (31041) and Sophie (31042). Lily is a good little puppy that loves to explore and play but also loves to come and cuddle. Lily is the smallest out of the group of puppies but has the most personality. Lily enjoyed running circles around her siblings and greeting some of the other dogs while they were out on their walk. Lily is ready for her new adventure, with her new family. This sweet little girl is waiting just for you!
