10. Sir Charles

Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from Milner

All hail Sir Charles III! Being Australian royalty, his new decree is that he requires a certain type of attention. This attention is basically knowing what he wants, before he wants it. That means that humans are at his beck and call especially around dinner time. He requires a private dining experience because he guards what is precious to him (this includes toys, food or food bags, and anything else he deems royally important). He doesn’t think twice about who his playmates are, whether they be royal subjects or peasants, he plays with them all, big and small. While Sir Charles weighs in on the scales at a mere 12 pounds, his attitude weighs in like that of a great white shark Though unlike a great white, he doesn’t want to devour everyone in his path, for he is still a young pup and learning how to be a proper royal. Sir Charles is available to be adopted to an approved home.

Fred is one of those dogs that looks into your eyes and just gets you. When we took him from the shelter, he knew he couldn't go back.

13. Midgie

Young (3 years 5 months) · Female · Terrier / Boxer / Mixed (short coat) · 49 mi from Milner

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!

Age: 3.6 years

Weight: 40lbs

Temperament: Gets along with older sturdy kids, submissive male dogs

Training: Housetrained, has basic training

14. Norma Jean

Young (1 year 5 months) · Female · Beagle / Corgi / Mixed (short coat) · 49 mi from Milner

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.

Apply: https://doggieharmony.org/forms

Doggie Harmony is a pet placement and matchmaking service that works with community members who are already housing a pet. Interested adopters are asked to apply at https://doggieharmony.org/forms and allow a home visit, so we can make sure each pet is a great match. Please ask the pet’s current caretaker directly about their return process, and request an adoption contract. While we can’t offer immediate intake for dogs that need to be returned, we’re always happy to help a family rehome a pet while they continue to care for it. Every match keeps a pet out of Georgia’s overcrowded shelters, where more than 30,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each year.

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

Adopting a dog in Milner

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.
