Am I cute? Obviously.
Am I innocent? That's between me and my lawyer.
Will I make you laugh? Almost certainly.

My adoption fee is SPONSORED and reduced to just $85!
That includes my distemper/parvo vaccine, rabies vaccine, vet exam, fecal test for parasites, general dewormer, neuter, and microchip before I go home with you.

Love,
Fritz

Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat) · 40 mi from Wadley

Gambit is a 2.5 year old Lab/Pit mix who is a true pro at giving the best adoring looks! It’s just part of his overall wonderful and friendly nature. Sadly, this sweet boy is back at the shelter for the second time … his first stay was back when he was just a tiny puppy. Gambit was super cute as a puppy, and now he has grown into a good-looking boy who is somehow both handsome AND irresistibly cute! Add in his incredibly sweet personality, and you have a pup who is hard to resist. When Gambit came back to the shelter, it was found that he is heartworm positive … but don't worry, the shelter will be taking care of his heartworm treatment. What Gambit needs most is a family who will see beyond his temporary medical condition and recognize the incredible companion waiting underneath. He has so much love to give and is ready to devote his whole heart to someone special. If you're looking for a loyal best friend and a dog who will look at you like you're the most important person in the world, Gambit is your perfect match. So come meet this lovable boy today, and see if those adoring eyes steal your heart!

20. Balto

Adult · Male · Shepherd (long coat) · 40 mi from Wadley

Balto is a six year old male Shepherd mix, and a stunning boy who turns heads wherever he goes! Balto’s gorgeous, fluffy coat practically glows, and it’s so comforting to pet his super-soft fur. This sweet well-mannered boy rides well in the car and walks nicely on a leash, especially enjoying leisurely walks and taking life at a comfortable pace. Most of all, he loves spending time with his people and is happiest simply being by your side. While Balto adores people, he is not good with cats. He can also be somewhat dog-selective, where he likes some dogs but not others. Hence a Meet and Greet would be needed if there are other dogs in the home. Balto has been adopted twice and dearly loved as a “great dog”, but had to be returned through no fault of his own: in one case due to a landlord’s weight limit for dogs, and in another case due to a health issue that arose in the family. Balto has already had two families love him. What he needs now is the family who can make sure the third time truly is the charm - the ones who will open their heart and never let Balto wonder again when his forever home is coming. Come meet this very special boy soon!

Adopting a dog in Wadley

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
