1. Harper

Puppy (4 months 10 days) · Female · Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Atlanta

Harper, Henry and Harley are 15-week-old puppies that are terrier mixes. Their current weights are about 10 lbs. and are expected to reach 15-20 lbs. in adulthood. These pups are still just babies that love to have fun running and playing with the other dogs in their foster home. They are high energy youngsters and would love to have a fenced yard and a playmate to use up some of that puppy energy. The puppies enjoy playing with the larger adult dogs in their foster home. They try to be playful with the foster family cat when they have an opportunity. These pups love to be lap dogs after they burn off their energy playing together. They are very smart and are doing great with their house-training, but they will still need more attention in a home of their own to complete their training. Overall, these puppies are adorable and very lovable dogs who love to play with someone and snuggle up in your arms.

9. Joy

Adult (6 years 1 month) · Female · American Staffordshire Terrier / Bulldog / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Atlanta

Joy: Sweet 55-lb Companion Seeking a Calm, Dog-Free Home

Joy had a rough start, but in a calm, steady home she’s become pure love. She’s about 6, past the puppy chaos, and happiest soaking up attention from her people. She’s sweet, listens well, and follows directions.

About 6 years old, 55 lbs, spayed female

Good with cats
Vaccinated, heartworm negative

Joy needs to be the only dog. She’s wary of strangers, so let her warm up to new people at her own pace. She does best with adults in a calm, consistent home. Kids’ running and noise may cause her to nip, so no young children.

URGENT: Penelope, Sweet 25-lb Girl Who Needs Someone Patient

Sit on the floor, wait quietly, and Penelope will come to you, then melt into your lap. Once this 3-year-old feels safe, she’s sweet, playful, and endlessly affectionate. She wants to be the center of her person’s world.

About 3 years old, 25 lbs, spayed female
Reliably uses pee pads
Quiet and non-destructive when left alone

Read more about Penelope

What she needs: Penelope is an anxious girl, and she takes daily anxiety medication. If someone approaches or tries to catch her too quickly, she may bark or nip out of fear. Let her come to you, and she will. She does not do well crated (she’ll cry for hours) but doesn’t need to be. She does best with someone home much of the day who can give her plenty of attention.

Other pets: She’s best as the only dog, or with a carefully matched, easygoing companion. She does well with confident cats but may chase a fearful one.

Best fit: a patient adult or retiree, a calm and consistent home, older respectful kids at most.

Penelope has been through several homes, and her current foster isn’t a long-term option. She needs her forever person soon.

11. Peachtree Connie

Young (9 months) · Female · Shepherd / Mixed · 23 mi from Atlanta

Meet Peachtree Connie - an 8 month old, German Shepherd mix with a sweet heart, a bright mind, and a whole lot of love to give.

When she’s fully grown, Connie will be a sturdy, athletic companion at about 50–60 pounds: big enough to keep up on adventures, compact enough to snuggle close. She’s crate trained and leash trained, and she’s working hard on potty training like any good puppy her age.

Read more about Peachtree Connie

She’s very smart and picks things up quickly, especially when there’s a game of fetch involved. Toss a toy and watch her light up! She loves to play and loves even more to be with her people. Connie is a little shy at first and takes some time to warm up, but once she trusts you, she’s all in. She’s good with older children, big dogs, and cats, and she’s looking for an active home that will give her exercise, patience, and plenty of togetherness.

Give this girl a little space to bloom and she’ll reward you with loyalty, playfulness, and a devoted companion who just wants to be part of the family. If you’re ready for walks, fetch sessions, and a smart girl who’ll grow into her confidence right beside you, Peachtree Connie might be your girl.

12. Spooks. Urgently needs a foster or adopter

Adult (6 years 4 months) · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 2 mi from Atlanta

Spooks is truly one of the best dogs I've ever met. She is highly intelligent, intensely loyal, and forms incredibly strong bonds with her people. She thrives on one-on-one time, structure, and engagement.

Spooks would be an exceptional companion for someone who can match her energy and provide focused attention. Because of her size and energy, returning to a shelter kennel would be incredibly stressful for her. We are looking for a foster or an adopter.

Age: 6.5 years

Weight: 73 lbs

Temperament: Gets along with dogs with slow intro, cats and older sturdy kids

13. Trudy

Young · Female · Hound / Rhodesian Ridgeback / Mixed · 2 mi from Atlanta

Trudy is 9 years old, and she'd like a word with whoever decided that means slowing down. She'll check the whole yard before she checks you — over the rocks, into the leaves, all business — and she'll circle back on her own schedule. Sit down and give her a few minutes and she comes in, and then she's in your lap and won't get out of it. That's the deal with her: she decides, and once she's decided, she's yours.

At a sleek 50-ish pounds, Trudy co-exists peacefully with dogs and cats. What she wants is someone unhurried, a quick potty and security check yard, then a couch buddy to unwind with at the end of her day.

Age: 9

Weight: ~50

Temperament: Gets along with people, dogs, and cats

Daisy
...You Just Found Your New Best Friend!

This girl is a perfect dog for
anyone!
Some flowers bloom wherever they're planted. This girl is SOLID, a wonderful pet
proven
to be a BEST Friend!!

Daisy is one of them. ❤️ She is an easy, sweet, perfect dog!

Sweet, calm, laid-back, and unbelievably grateful, Daisy has been through more than any dog ever should. Yet somehow, she still greets the world with a wagging tail and a heart full of love.

Read more about Daisy Good Dog

Daisy's story began on Cleveland Avenue, where she was abandoned and left to fend for herself. Kind-hearted people rescued her and hoped her owner might come looking, so she was taken to Fulton County Animal Services. No one ever came.

She was then welcomed into a foster home where life was finally looking up...until her foster had to move. Heartbreakingly, Daisy ended up back at Fulton County. This time, she was housed with several other dogs, where she was attacked, leaving her bitten, bruised, and suffering. SHE IS ALL WELL NOW!

Thankfully, the very person who had originally rescued Daisy had been keeping an eye on her. When they discovered what had happened, they rushed to save her once again. Now, A Welcome Home Animal Rescue has welcomed Daisy into the program, and she's finally safe.

Why Everyone Loves Daisy

❤️ Sweet, gentle, and incredibly affectionate
Gets along with dogs
Cat friendly
Loves children!!!!
Friendly with everyone she meets!
️ Calm, easygoing, and well-mannered
Smart and eager to please
So grateful for every act of kindness

After everything she's endured, Daisy hasn't become bitter. She simply wants someone to love...and she'll spend the rest of her life showing you just how thankful she is.

She's fully vetted, healthy, and ready to leave her difficult past behind forever.

A home with a fenced yard would be wonderful, but what Daisy truly wants is a family who will love her as much as she'll love them.

Don't let this Daisy wilt waiting for her forever family.

Banko has been a loving family member for several years, but now the family is moving and cannot take him along.

He has been great with the kids and the family cat. He would be fine with other dogs but needs a slow intro to get to know them. He's good on leash but can get excited when he sees other dogs. He just needs training in that area.

17. Max

Adult (8 years 3 months) · Male · Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Atlanta

Max is a sweet 8 year-old, 20 lb. male rat terrier mix who has a calm temperament and personality. He can be a little shy at first but once he is comfortable he is more than ready sit with you and give you kisses. He wants to be where his people are and loves to get attention.

He recently learned that he likes getting his paws wet at the beach and going evening golf cart rides!

Read more about Max

Max gets along with other dogs and with the 2 cats in his foster home. He would do best in a home with adults and older children -- he is not up for the challenge of living with young humans. He is potty trained and walks well on a leash. Once he is done outside he is ready to come back inside and be a couch potato. Max is crate trained but can be left loose in the house.

Max had surgery on his left hip to have cancer removed. A biopsy reported no cancer in the remaining tissue and a 90% probability he is cancer free. With that being said he has weakness in his back end which causes him to be a little slow going up and down stairs but outside he does fine. The vet thinks he may have spinal nerve damage that cannot be repaired.

Max struggles with incontinence -- in the morning, he sprinkles urine and drops feces while walking. He has no control over this and does not realize it is happening. Sadly, the vet does not believe this can be cured, only managed with pads and diapering.

If you have a special spot in your heart for a dog like Max he would love to show you what a special boy he is. For more photos, see https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/max

She has lived with a cats before and gets along with them. Though house-trained, Nixie may need a bit of coaxing to go outside for potty if it's raining or cold. If she's on a leash, she goes right outside and does her business no problem. She's in excellent health and has even recently had a dental cleaning!

19. Nee-Doh

Young (1 year 4 months) · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed · 23 mi from Atlanta

Hi,

I’m Nee Doh, although my foster family calls me JJ. I, along with some of my friends were recently rescued from a hoarding case. I am a petite dashhund/chihuahua mix, weighing only 14lbs. I am about 1 year old and walk with an adorable little wobble that only adds to my charm.

Read more about Nee-Doh

I am a little nervous around new people, my foster parents think it’s because of my past. Despite coming from a hoarding situation once I know you are my friend I will love you unconditionally. I was unsure when I first came to my foster home but after only a few days my foster dad is my bff, I follow him everywhere. I am good on a leash & I am housebroken. My perfect home would be quiet, with parents who understand I will need a little patience and extra love but they will get 110% back in return. I am good with other dogs, big and small. I am also good with cats. During the day I love being by my humans & at night I sleep quietly in a pen.

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
