Dogs for Adoption in Calhoun, GA: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Cat is a sweet, quiet, gentle girl who likes to take life at her own pace. She’s very low-maintenance and doesn’t ask for much—just a cozy spot to relax, some loving pets, and plenty of snuggles.

Cat can be a little shy at first. She came to us from a cruelty case about a year ago, and while she has come such a long way, she still takes a little time to feel comfortable and trust new people. She has enjoyed going on short, slow strolls and spending time with volunteers, and we’ve watched her confidence grow along the way.

This spunky girl is a 25-pound Frenchie/Pug mix, just over a year old, with plenty of personality packed into her little body. She likes other dogs, loves belly rubs, and is looking for someone who appreciates a little silliness alongside a whole lot of love.Tila came to HBPR after being found lost in Blue Ridge and going unclaimed. Now, she’s ready for her next chapter—with a family who will make her feel right at home.~~If you are interested in this animal, you can complete the questionnaire found on the available pets page of our website http://hbpr.org.

Meet Ballew! Ballew is a sweet 7-year-old male Poodle mix weighing in at a very portable 13 pounds.

He has that charming “Who, me?” energy and seems to float through each day on vibes, snacks, and absolutely no long-term planning. If dogs could forget why they walked into a room, Ballew would do it proudly — and still look adorable doing it.This quirky little guy has a funny gait due to hip dysplasia, but don’t worry — it’s being managed well with supplements, and he doesn’t let it slow down his spirit.

That trusting, loving spirit says so much about the wonderful dog he is.Remy is affectionate, easygoing, and simply enjoys being around people.

Some dogs arrive at the shelter carrying a little baggage. Britt arrived carrying a lifetime of hardship.At just 3 years old, Britt came from a hoarding situation where he lived with far too many animals and far too little care. When he arrived, he was nearly unrecognizable—bald, pink, and terrified of the world around him.Over the last three months, Britt has slowly begun to heal. His fur is growing back, his body is recovering, and most importantly, he's learning that people can be kind.Britt finds comfort in other dogs and often looks to them for reassurance. He recently discovered toys and watching him play for the first time was enough to bring tears to our eyes.

Meet Dexter, aka Pup Pup! ❤️

Dexter is a super friendly, happy-go-lucky pup with a wonderfully well-rounded personality! He’s social, confident, and independent, but he still likes to keep tabs on where his people are. He’s never met a stranger and greets new friends with a wagging tail!

Dexter enjoys tagging along with his foster mom on car rides and gets along great with dogs of all sizes. He loves playing with his furry friends, tackling piles of leaves, and settling down with a good bone to chew.

Meet Bronco!

Bronco is a smart, strong-willed boy with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! He’s potty trained with frequent outings and absolutely loves being around people. He’s a wonderful mix of playful and cuddly—he’ll happily snuggle up with you, but he’s always ready for some fun too!

One of Bronco’s funniest habits? The second you put all his toys back in the toy box, he’ll immediately pull them ALL back out again. Apparently, Bronco believes toys belong on the floor!

Ahoy Mateys! I’m Pirate, and I’m searching for my FOREVER crew!

I’m an adorably scruffy mixed fellow who loves to play with other dogs! I’m around 6 months old now and roughly 35 lbs of pure love, fun, and puppy kisses!

Don’t worry, my eye patch isn’t real!

I am crate trained and working hard on my potty training, doing great with it while on my foster family’s routine. I thrive on a routine! I’m still just a young pup learning the ropes, but I’m trying my very best to be the goodest boy!

Now, here’s the part of my story that makes my little pirate heart sad…

Hi, I’m Wednesday!

I’m the sweetest little girl with a heart full of love! My sister Ginger and I are new to the rescue after our previous owner decided they no longer wanted us. We may not understand why our world changed, but that hasn’t stopped me from loving everyone I meet!

I’m incredibly friendly, gentle, and trusting, without a mean bone in my body. All I want is for you to sit on the floor with me so I can shower you with kisses and soak up all your love!

I have so much love to give, and I’m just waiting for someone who will love me right back. This time, forever.
