1. Midgie
Midgie needs an active family with lots of outdoor time; hiking, running, swimming, or playing soccer. She loves them all!
If you don’t like a dog that wants to be in your lap, wrap her ‘arms’ arms around you tightly, and give you kisses… then Midgie isn’t for you. If you want that kind of love from a dog, then please keep reading.
Read more about Midgie
Miss Midgie is a super loving and energetic girl. She’s a total “people dog” and is great with kids. It seems like she could get by in life with just two things… a person to hug and kiss, and her herding ball. This girl’s got energy, but is fine entertaining herself with her beloved herding ball for hours. She’s good with other dogs that are not aggressive – she’s up for making new friends, but wont back down if another dog is not so nice to her.
Midgie is GREAT on a leash (no work went into this on her foster family’s part – all her nature). Midgie’s perfect forever family is one that will take her for walks and have a fenced yard (or keep an close eye on her if she’s off leash in the yard) – her youthful curiosity and ability to jump higher than the bionic woman mean that she sometimes makes her own decision to go exploring if left unattended. Again – a higher fence, zip line, or dog run (along with her beloved herding ball) have worked wonders to keep her safe while we’ve fostered her.
This smart and loving girl wants to be at the top of your consideration list - in return, she’ll be your best friend for life!

2. Norma Jean
Norma Jean: Tennis-Ball-Loving Mix Seeking Foster or Forever Home
Meet Norma Jean, a playful, sweet 1.5-year-old who will happily chase a tennis ball for as long as you'll throw it! At just 28 pounds, she's a compact bundle of energy who knows how to switch off: give her some exercise and she'll happily chill out while you work.
See Video of Cute Lil' Norma Jean Exploring
The Basics:
1.5 years old, 28 lbs, possibly a Beagle/Corgi mix
Housebroken and crate-trained
Great at the vet and loves meeting people outside
Very intelligent and responds well to training
Read more about Norma Jean
Her Personality:
Norma Jean is an affectionate girl who loves her people of all ages. She’s also a devoted, watchful companion who takes her role at home seriously. She's protective of her home and when strangers arrive, she can be cautious about welcoming them inside and bark. She’s been working with a trainer to learn that, as a little dog, she doesn’t have to be the big boss, and she’s making great progress. She does great when meeting people outside. Her new family will need to keep up that training.
With Other Dogs:
Norma Jean enjoys being around other dogs. She likes to meet dogs and take a short walk outside before being thrown in the backyard with them. She has a confident personality and knows her boundaries, so she’s best matched with playful, easygoing dogs whose personalities complement hers—or dogs who are happy to give her space. She responds well to cues from other dogs and has lived with dogs ranging in size from 8-80 pounds. Like many dogs, she prefers to eat separately so she can eat at her own pace. She has shown no resource guarding with humans.
Her Ideal Home:
A home with teens and adults, where everyone can be mindful of doors and entrances
A calm, consistent family committed to continuing her training
Daily exercise, playtime, and plenty of tennis-ball adventures!
Norma Jean needs a foster or adopter as soon as possible. She has so much love and personality to share. She’s looking for a foster or forever home where she can continue her training, enjoy her favorite activities, and be loved for the amazing dog she is.

8. Marie Osmond
Say hello to sweet Marie Osmond. She is a 7 pound, 4 - 6 year old, long haired chihuahua. Marie is house and crate trained. She is an absolute cuddle bug with off the charts cuteness. Between her wiggle butt and underbite, Marie invokes numerous smiles.
Marie is good with other dogs and kids. She is also good on a leash and enjoys walks. She loves to be held and if you have an available lap, she will be in it.

9. Joe
Joe just showed up at a family's home and stayed. After attempts to find the owner failed, it was clear he was dumped.

We're saying only older, sturdy kids because he is so large and strong.

He'll also be starting basic obedience classes soon, so he's already on his way to becoming an excellent canine citizen!

* Crate? Not a fan but will calm down eventually
* Good with other dogs (cats unknown)
Read more about Barnaby Button
Somehow I ended up in a local shelter. I remember my story, but since my rescue, I'm loving life! I got my teeth cleaned and was all checked out. I love to eat and am motivated by FOOD! Treats please! And I ADORE tummy rubs and snuggles. Car rides are fun too; I like the window cracked so i can use my smell-o-vision.
I'm basically a quiet dog (ssshhh) unless someone's walking outside, then I think I'm a huge, fierce protector. I'm pretty low energy (aka couch potato) and am a loyal shadow, neither demanding nor destructive. I follow my foster mom everywhere and sleep deeply on a comfy bed at night. I dream of my furever home.
I give my heart fully and completely. I can be a bit skittish with quick movements, so may not be best with small children, but on the plus side, I don't shed too much even though I've got lots of long gorgeous hair.

25. Slinky Dog
Meet Slinky Dog - An Extremely Cute Chiweenie!
Slinky Dog is about 3 years old and around 10 pounds of love. Slinky is potty trained and is good with people and dogs. Cats are an unknown, but he would probably be just fine.
He is good on a leash, loves his toys, and is always happy to be out and about. Slinky Dog is not fond of the crate, but that’s ok because he is not destructive and does fine in the house when left alone. He does like to announce if he hears a door or a new noise, but settles quick. He is a gem of a dog!

26. Maryland
Meet Maryland: 11 Pounds of Charm, Cuddles & a Few Opinions
Maryland is a 5-year-old, 11-pound, Shih Tzu with a sweet, laid-back personality, a little sass, and some very reasonable expectations for her forever home.
Personal space? Overrated. Maryland loves being close to her people and would happily spend her days as your little shadow. Working from home? Retired? Perfect! She's looking for someone who enjoys having a constant companion. She also appreciates the company of another dog friend when her humans are busy.
Read more about Maryland
Exercise? Maryland loves exploring a fenced backyard, playing with her toys, and taking short, leisurely walks where she can stop and investigate all the neighborhood gossip. If you're looking for someone to help you rack up miles at record speed, you'll need to find a buddy with longer legs.
House training? Maryland does best with regular potty breaks and a consistent schedule. She's looking for someone patient who understands that a lady appreciates a predictable routine.
Crates? No, thank you. Maryland prefers the company of her people or a canine companion over spending time alone in a crate. She's much more interested in being part of the family than watching life happen from the sidelines.
Maryland isn't looking for a particularly exciting life. Just a cozy home, a little playtime, a yard to explore, and someone who doesn't mind having an adorable 11-pound shadow.
In return, she'll offer plenty of love, companionship, and just enough personality to keep you smiling.
Applications are now being accepted. Maryland will be reviewing them from foster mom's pillow.

27. Emilie Ann
Emilie Ann is an adorable young Chihuahua mix with long, graceful legs and a playful spirit. At just 17 pounds and an estimated 8–12 months old, she is nearly full grown. When she runs, she looks like a little fawn! Her short black coat, adorable gray socks on her front paws, and constantly wagging tail make her absolutely irresistible.
Emilie Ann LOVES other dogs, especially those her own size! She has a sweet, gentle way of approaching them and inviting them to play. She would be happiest in a home with another small, friendly dog who could become her playmate and companion.
Read more about Emilie Ann
When Emilie Ann first arrived at her foster home, she was very shy and unsure of her surroundings. With time, patience, and love, she has blossomed into a much more confident little girl. Now, she happily follows her foster mom around the house, wagging her tail, and even asks for pets. When she's feeling comfortable, she'll flop onto the floor, roll over, and invite you to give her belly rubs! She also loves picking up her toys and carrying them around the house.
Emilie Ann is already doing well with her crate. She sleeps quietly in it at night and is comfortable staying there when her foster mom leaves the house.
This sweet girl is looking for a loving home where she can continue to build her confidence and blossom. A home with another small, friendly dog would be ideal. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she trusts you, you'll have a devoted, affectionate companion with a tail that never stops wagging!

28. Pollyana
Meet Pollyana!
Looking for a little shadow with soft curls and a big devotion to her person? This six-year-old, 10-pound poodle-type girl takes her role as your constant companion seriously. Wherever you’re headed—even just to the next room—she’d love to come along!
She is a true Velcro dog who bonds closely with her favorite human, but she’s willing to accept a trusted “backup human” when her first choice isn’t available. Being close to someone she loves is her happy place.
Read more about Pollyana
She would prefer to have her person’s attention all to herself. She does complain when other dogs get too close to her human, although her canine housemates don’t always take her objections seriously. A home where she can be the only dog would likely be her happiest fit.
She is mostly house-trained and will need patience and a consistent potty routine as she settles in. Because she can snap when startled, she needs a calm home with adults only or older, dog-savvy children who understand how to respect her space and approach her gently.
If your idea of a perfect companion is a little dog who thinks everyday life is better together, this curly-haired girl might be your match.

29. Bullet
Meet Bullet!
Don't let his tough-guy name fool you! Bullet is a 10-year-old, 6-pound, black
Chihuahua who is nothing but a little love bug! This sweet boy loves snuggling in your lap, sleeping in your bed, and soaking up all the attention he can get.
Bullet does have a little Chihuahua sass and may grumble if another dog bothers him while he's resting. He'd do best in a home without very young children, where he can enjoy his peace and quiet.
Bullet is in pretty good health and will be getting a dental and neuter soon. All this little guy wants is a warm lap, a cozy bed, and someone to love him for the rest of his days!

Equally important, the dogs are socialized around a variety of people and other dogs during this period. Canine CellMates’ dogs are available for adoption immediately and will be able to go to their forever homes after graduation.

Adopting a dog in Fulton County
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.
