3. Sir Charles
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.

4. Coco Bean
Coco Bean is about 2 years old and weighs 7 lbs. She is a very sweet girl once she gets to know her people. She is super shy at first but has never tried to bite! She is more of a flight-risk due to fear. She will need a quiet home with someone who will give her time to settle and gain trust. She is so sweet and playful once she feels safe and secure!

10. Fred
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. He is sweet, not overly hyper, and thinks of himself as more of a human than a dog. While he lives at a doggy daycare, he would be happiest in a home that he got to be the number one guy in the group ;) If you are interested, please apply at https://savecares.com/adoption-application/
11. Ziggy
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.
Read more about Ziggy
She's happy to romp around with her foster siblings, chase her favorite toys, and then settle in for a well-deserved nap under the desk. She's a big fan of toys, with tennis balls currently holding the top spot on her favorites list! Apply today on the MACS Friends website!

12. Gerald
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.
Read more about Gerald
Because Gerald is a guardian breed, he will need a home with a fence or dedicated leash walking. If you’re ready for an affectionate, hilarious lovebug to brighten your home, Gerald is your guy! Apply today on the MACS Friends website!

13. Apollo
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.
Read more about Apollo
His ideal home includes a securely fenced yard for outside sniffing and exploring, plus a friendly, playful resident dog to help show him the ropes. If you have a peaceful heart, a little patience, and a cozy spot near your feet, Apollo is ready to grow into your most loyal friend! Apply today on the MACS Friends website!

Oopsie
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.

16. Harper
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. If you would like to adopt Henry, Harley, or Harper, please submit an application specifying which dog you are interested in. Additional photos available at

18. Stoney
Found as a stray in Georgia, 3-year-old Stoney's past is a bit of a mystery, but one thing is for certain: he is a gentle, sweet soul who is ready to give and receive all the love in the world.
Read more about Stoney
Stoney doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. He adores human attention and wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved. Unlike many typical vocal terriers, Stoney is remarkably quiet! He rarely barks, only occasionally letting out a few woofs at something outside the fence. He gets along with dogs his own size (he weighs nearly 11 lbs.) but does not play with them other than an occasional short game of chase in the yard. Larger dogs make him feel a bit intimidated, so he does best with canine pals near his size. He has not been cat-tested yet.
Stoney's house-training is coming along well. He is still learning his routine and has the occasional accident—mainly first thing in the morning—so a patient adopter who can keep him on a steady schedule will help him cross the finish line. Coming from a stray life, household and outdoor sounds can be overwhelming for him. Loud appliances like vacuum cleaners or hair dryers or even quieter sounds like dinner cooking on the stove can send him cowering into a corner. However, the longer he resides in a home environment and realizes he's safe, the more his confidence is improving. At night, he sleeps quietly in his crate in his foster parent's bedroom, not making a peep until the humans are ready to rise and shine!
Stoney walks nicely on a leash, but if he encounters strange people, unfamiliar dogs, moving cars, or sudden noises, his instinct is to "freeze." Once the perceived danger passes, he resumes walking. He walks right along on quiet nature trails or open fields where he can sniff and explore without the hustle and bustle of traffic, humans, or other dogs.
Because Stoney is so sensitive to noises, he is looking for a gentle, predictable environment in a quiet suburban neighborhood or rural setting with a fenced area for him to feel secure. His ideal home is adult-only (or one with older, calm teenagers) with a parent or parents who are home much of the time to continue building his confidence. Fast-moving, noisy young children would be too overwhelming for him.
Stoney needs an adopter who understands that shy dogs take a little time to bloom. With patience, gentle encouragement, and a safe space, Stoney will prove to be the most loyal, loving companion you could ever ask for. Is Stoney the gentle buddy you've been searching for? See more photos of Stoney at www.imageevent.com/newrattitude/stoney , then apply to adopt him today!

20. Hannah
Hannah is a four-month-old rat terrier mix, sibling to Hayden, Henry, Harley, and Harper. She currently weighs about 10 lbs. and is expected to reach 15-20 lbs. in adulthood.
Hannah is a full-on puppy in all the best ways: high energy, inquisitive, and always looking for her next adventure (or her next favorite chew toy!). Like many young pups, she can still be a little nervous when meeting new people for the first time. Once she knows she's safe, her sweet, affectionate side comes right out. After a fun round of puppy antics, she loves nothing more than curling up close for a long cuddle.
Hannah's wishlist for her forever family:
Read more about Hannah
A playmate: Hannah is accustomed to having a furry companion to play, wrestle, and snuggle with. Ideally, her forever home will have another friendly, playful dog to be her companion and teach her good doggy manners.
Big kids only: To prevent accidental drops or trips—and to manage normal puppy mouthiness/nipping—she needs a home without young children.
Training and routine: Hannah is not yet house-trained, but she is making great progress when taken out frequently. Plus, she's already a superstar at night and sleeps quietly in her crate all night long!
Hannah is ready to bring energy, warmth, and lots of puppy love to her new home! If you're looking for a new addition to your family and prepared to do a little bit of work for a huge return, apply to adopt today!

Adopting a dog in Oxford
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.
