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

Ziggy is a beautiful, happy-go-lucky girl with a heart full of love and a personality that makes everyone smile! She absolutely adores everyone she meets and has done wonderfully with adults of all ages, as well as teenagers. This sweet girl already has some impressive manners and routines under her belt! She knows how to sit, walks on a leash, loves a good game of fetch (and knows how to drop!), and is crate trained. Ziggy is always up for a little fun! She loves car rides and seems like the kind of girl who would happily tag along on just about any adventure. While she's still new to her foster home, hiking trips are already on the agenda, and we have a feeling she's going to love every minute! At home, Ziggy has the perfect balance of playful and relaxed.

Meet Gerald, a giant, cuddly baby who is 100% convinced he’s a lapdog! Sweet as can be and endlessly goofy, this oversized puppy gets along wonderfully with kids of all ages, adults, and other dogs. When he’s not throwing his favorite squeaky toys around the room, Gerald’s primary mission is snuggling—whether that means laying across your feet, leaning in for endless pets, or using you as his personal mattress. Because he thrives on human connection and just wants to be part of the action, Gerald would do best with a family where someone works from home or is open to doggy daycare. His ideal adopters won't mind a little extra fur, routine drool, and a gentle giant who is still learning spatial awareness and realizing he's slightly too big to actually fit in your lap.

Meet Apollo, a sweet little Yorkie who is still learning that the world and the people in it are safe! Because Apollo didn’t have much human socialization before coming into rescue, he is very timid at first and needs a calm, patient person, preferably at home alot, willing to give him time and space to settle in. It takes him about three weeks to truly open up, but once he trusts you, he becomes your devoted little shadow—following you everywhere, keeping you company, and cozying up right at your feet. Interestingly, Apollo isn't shy around other dogs at all! He lights up around canine companions of any size, especially bigger dogs and loves to join in on playtime, and gains so much confidence from having a doggy buddy to guide him.

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.

With the perfect mix of puppy energy and sweetness, Enid is ready to grow, learn, and make unforgettable memories with her forever family.

Could Enid be your new best friend? She’s ready to fill your home with endless love, happy tail wags, and lots of puppy kisses!

Hi, I’m Ellie!

My life hasn’t always been filled with love, warm beds, and kind hands.

You see, my four siblings and I spent the beginning of our lives living on the streets, just trying to survive. We didn’t know what it felt like to be safe or loved. Eventually, animal control picked us up, and we found ourselves in a shelter. Thankfully, someone saw that we deserved a second chance, and my siblings and I were rescued!

Now I’m learning what it means to be a loved little girl, but I still have a long way to go.

Hey, Everyone! I'm Chestnut!

Hi, everyone! I am new to the rescue so I’m still getting settled into my foster home, so my foster is learning all the little things that make me special! But there are a few things we already know for sure: I’m full-grown, fully vetted, and ready to find my forever home! ❤️

I came to the rescue with my sister Reece, and having her by my side has helped me feel so much safer and more comfortable in this big, new world. I’m a sweet boy who wants nothing more than to be loved, and I’m slowly but surely coming out of my shell!

Meet Reece!

Hi, everyone! My name is Reece, and I’m the new girl here at the rescue! ❤️

When I first arrived at the shelter, I was a very scared girl, and I’m still a little nervous in my foster home. But I’m quickly learning that I’m safe and that there are people who want nothing more than to love me.

Deep down, I really want to be loved. I just need a little extra time to feel comfortable and learn to trust. I’m looking for a patient, understanding family who will give me the time and space I need to blossom into the confident, happy girl I know I can be.

Meet Boomer! Boomer is a 22 pound, 5 month old Lab mix. Boomer started off small from an under-developed esophagus but he is doing well now. He eats from a Kong Wobbler. He is working on manners and crate training. Boomer LOVES playing with sticks, jumping in the creek and playing with his best friends. He and Max are besties. They enjoy flopping around and wrestling and stealing beans from the garden and the fruit from underneath the trees.

Boomer's ideal home would be one with someone who is active and committed to his continued socialization and training. A fenced in yard is a plus.

Boone is the sweetest, most loving boy who is still waiting for someone to choose him. Despite being housebroken, crate trained, great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and having an amazing personality, Boone hasn’t received a single bit of adoption interest. He tries so hard to be the perfect boy, and we just can’t understand why he keeps getting overlooked.

Hi! I’m Sombra!

I’m a very playful girl who LOVES getting outside to run and have fun! I’ll chase a ball around the yard—and sometimes I even bring it back! I absolutely LOVE the water and would happily spend the day at the lake with you!

I’m also very treat-motivated, so snacks and I are already best friends!

My story didn’t start out very happy. I was found wandering after being shot with a BB/pellet gun, and sadly, no one ever came looking for me. But thankfully, I’m safe now, my wounds have healed, and I’m ready to start the next chapter of my life!

Hi! I'm a wiggly bundle of love looking for my forever home. I may be a little puppy, but I have a big heart! I'm a very smart girl and I'm learning to go to the door and scratch when I need to go potty. I'm still working on my potty training, so I'll need a little patience and encouragement as I keep learning.

I love to talk to you—especially when I don't get my way! I have lots of personality and always like to let you know what I'm thinking. I'm also a big snuggler and my favorite place to sleep is right next to you. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly, and playful best friend, I just might be the perfect puppy for you!

Meet Peter Pumpkin -Your New Best Friend!

Peter is a 3-year-old Yorkie mix weighing about 20 lbs, and he’s
the perfect blend of mild energy and gentle sweetness. From the
moment you meet him, Peter’s friendly personality shines
through—he loves people of all ages and gets along beautifully
with children, adults, other dogs, and even cats.

This smart boy is eager to please and already knows his basic
commands like sit and down. He walks wonderfully on a leash
and enjoys exploring the outdoors, always ready for a stroll or a
game of fetch. In fact, he carries all his fetch back to his crate!

Meet Jack Lemmon! This adorable, sweet, and affectionate rat terrier mix is about 5 years old and weighs 14 pounds.

Jack and his doggy sibling became Angels after their original owners were no longer able to care for them. Both pups are now safe in foster homes while they wait for their next furever homes.

Jack’s foster mom says he is incredibly sweet and loves to be near his people. Watching TV? Jack is cuddled right beside you on the couch. Bedtime? He’ll curl up on a nearby pillow. His fur is incredibly soft, and he loves a good head rub.

Meet Milo Munchkin (Milo)! He's a 1 year old, 29 pound, neutered, Jack Russell Terrier/Corgi Mix with the most adorable half-mast set of ears. He is crated trained and potty trained (did have a couple accidents the first few days). He is excellent with other dogs and people.

His personality is smart, fun, and curious! He's happiest chasing his foster fur brother and chilling on the top of the couch where he can keep an eye on all that's going on in the house.

Put in an app and come and meet him!

Meet Kobe Kane.

This adorable 8-month-old Cavapoo boy is as sweet as can be! He is currently 8 pounds and is working hard at buffing up a little and growing back his luscious curly locks of fur. He is a bundle of love who is still figuring out how the world works, taking in new sights, sounds, and experiences one day at a time. With a gentle heart and a curious puppy spirit, each day brings a new adventure and something new to learn.

Whisper Wren is true to her name - a tiny, sweet shadow who rarely barks and just loves to be close.

At 10 pounds, this 3-year-old terrier mix is the perfect size for lap sitting, couch cuddling, and carrying her favorite toys around the house. She is house trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and is a quiet companion who is happy to just be with her person.

Whisper is looking for a home where she can be your one-and-only. She adores having your full attention and can get jealous of other dogs, so she would likely do best as the only dog in the home.

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.

Since Marie is so tiny, she would probably do best in a quieter home with no or older children.
