1. Dino
Adult (7 years) · Male · German Shepherd Dog · 25 mi from Fountainebleau




Dino is a TRUE GEM of a dog who we recently rescued from the Miami Dade shelter.
This 7-year-old gentleman is polite, has amazing leash manners, knows how to sit on cue, and gently takes treats. He even offers his paw to ask for more! He is good with gentle dogs and would be a great family dog. He doesn't like cats.
He hopped right into a volunteer's car without hesitation, let them buckle him in, and handled his 50-minute road trip to the vet like an absolute champ.

Dino is a mature gentleman with lovely manners and the potential to be a fabulous lifelong companion. He deserves a home where he can finally enjoy the love, comfort, and stability he has been waiting for.

5. Lily
Adult (4 years 1 month) · Female · German Shepherd Dog · 25 mi from Fountainebleau






Lily is a true sweetheart. We think she's around 4 years old. She is such a happy, friendly, loving girl. She is dog friendly, but we don't know about cats. She is very curious about everything & can be a counter surfer. She would benefit from training since she pulls a bit on leash. Despite being dumped, her fun and happy spirit is contagious.

Adult (1 year 8 months) · Female · German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · 25 mi from Fountainebleau









BONNY IS LOCATED IN FANNIN COUNTY/NORTH GEORGIA
Meet Bonny. Bonny is our first dog available in the North Georgia area as we try to expand a little. Bonny was rescued from a shelter in South East Florida after being heartworm positive. We believe Bonny is between 1-2 years old. Bonny is dog friendly with proper introductions. We believe she would do best with older children. We don’t know about cats yet. Bonny is very loving and super sweet. She loves playing fetch. She is good on a leash and is house and crate trained. It will be very beneficial for her to continue obedience training. Bonny is good in the car and loves to give hugs.
Read more about Bonny
Bonny has finished her as of the last week of October and has to continue her strict rest for 3-5 more weeks. She goes back to the vets on 11/30 for a blood test to check for microfilaria. If thats clear the last step is redo her heartmorm test in a few months to make sure she is negative. :) 99.9% come back negative. If she ends up positive at that time the rescue still pays for treatment.
If you are located in or near North Georgia or willing to travel and you are interested in Bonny, please complete an application at www.shepherdhelp.org.

9. Mila
Young (2 years 1 month) · Female · German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · 25 mi from Fountainebleau










Mila was rescued from MDAS after struggling in the shelter environment. She had become very thin because the stress kept her from eating, and she simply wasn’t coping well there. Despite everything she’s been through, Mila is incredibly sweet. She’s a young, high‑energy girl who will benefit from continued training and structure.
Mila can be reactive to some dogs, but we’re not yet sure how she’ll be once she’s out of a boarding environment and settled into a secure, loving home.
Mila is affectionate, eager, and ready for a fresh
start. She just needs an adopter who can continue her training as she blossoms into the wonderful dog she’s meant to be.

Adopting a dog with children in Fountainebleau
Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.
Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
