Adult Dogs for Adoption in Warner Robins, GA: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

Jeff was part of a litter of Bulldog pups that came to SoCo Rescue in July of 2023. Two of his brothers, Solomon and Simon, were adopted to families in New Jersey in early 2025. Due to a reduced number of larger dogs being adopted over the past few years and having to overcome the bulldog stigma, Jeff has had to wait patiently for the opportunity to find his new home. While they have not yet met, we believe that Jeff's adopter is currently looking for a dog just like him and that this is Jeff's time to finally find his new home.

Jeff is very people friendly and has even done very well when interacting with other dogs in a controlled environment. He loves going on walks and long hikes and having the opportunity to run and play in a large outdoor fenced area. While he's not yet had any experience living as an indoor dog, we believe he'll adjust to life as a couch potato with proper training as he is a quick learner.

Jeff has been kept up to date on his annual vaccinations, de-wormings and monthly preventatives since coming into our rescue. He was recently neutered and given both a heartworm and fecal exam, both of which gained negative test results. He's never displayed any aggressive behavior towards people or other dogs, but we'd recommend a "meet-an- greet" with any other dogs that he may share a new home with prior to an adoption. Jeff has also already been microchipped.

Grace came from the same litter that also yielded her two sisters, Gina and Gussie, who are currently also available for adoption. While Gina, Gussie and their siblings all came into our rescue at the same time, Grace was surrendered to SoCo a month later which delayed her being available for adoption. The entire "G" litter came to us as owner surrenders and we're helping the former owner get all of his other dogs spay and neutered.

Grace is much bigger than her siblings and seems to have also have much more energy than they did. Her ideal home will allow for ample space and time to expel some of her energy. She does play well with other dogs and simply adores her human counterparts. Despite benign very energetic, Grace also loves to cuddle up next to anyone who'll spend time with her.

Grace has received an update on her annual vaccinations, de-wormings and kept up to date on her monthly preventatives. She's also already been spay and had her microchip inserted. She is accustomed to sleeping in a crate, which will be helpful during her continued house training. She does walk decently on a leash.

Vance has been with us for a while due to the slow process in finding bigger dogs a new home. But we've decided to really push for his opportunity to find a new home as he more than deserves that. He is very friendly towards people and hasn't shown any aggressive behavior towards other dogs, but we'd still require a "meet-and-greet" with any dog that he'll share a home with. Over the past few months, Vance has spent time living in the home of Scott Bennett and had done exceptionally well. He's accustomed to staying in a crate and hasn't relieved himself while in it.

Since coming to our rescue, Vance has been kept up to date on all of his annual vaccinations, de-wormings and monthly preventatives. He He did test positive for heartworms and is currently undergoing treatments. Once that has been completed, he will be ready to find his new home. While Vance has shown some house training skills, he may need additional training once in a new home. Vance has also already been microchipped

Luna was found huddled under a car after apparently being hit by another vehicle. While she was able to avoid having any broken bones, the accident did cause the fur and skin covering her entire tail, from the tip of it all the way up to her torso, to be ripped off, leaving the bone exposed. The only option was to have her entire tail amputated. Luna has been at a foster home during her recovery period and doing exceptionally well.

Despite her injuries, Luna is a very affectionate and friendly little girl. She loves to be held and finds great comfort from curling up in a lap. She's instantly friends with everyone she meets as is well-socialized towards people. She would growl softly at other dogs when she first arrived, but has since shown to be friendly towards other dogs, more so with larger dogs than other smaller ones.

In addition to her surgery, Luna has also now been spay, received an update on all of her annual vaccinations and de-wormings and kept current with her flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. She also tested negative for heartworms. While Luna has displayed having some house training, she may need a refresher course once in a new home.

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?

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
"Wait", "Sit", "Gentle", "Crate", "This way", and "Pull it"

Vetting: Spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative

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.

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!

He's cute as a button too, with a rat terrier head and Dachshund body. He's named after the hotdogs since he looks like a little sausage. At 17 lbs,, Nathan is capable and scrappy. He walks on a leash and enjoys running in the fenced yards. He learned the dog door quickly, and since getting neutered, has not had accidents in the house. We recommend treating Nathan like a puppy when you first get him home and take him out frequently.

Nathan needs his space, and isn't thrilled when other dogs try to take his things. Nathan is not a good fit for a home with larger dogs as he is grumpy about his space, food, and toys, and will start things he cannot finish with bigger dogs. Nathan can be a little snippy with people and his toys as well. He has learned "Give" and "Leave it" while in his foster home, and will do so when a grown up tells him. However, small children are probably not going to enjoy time with him. If they try to take Nathan's things, he will show them the error of their ways.

If you are looking for a cute, smart, funny dog and don't have lots of other animals or kids in your home, Nathan just might be your guy!

Toefoo gets along fine with the dogs in her foster home, and there are a lot of them. She is being fostered at a boarding, daycare, and training facility and every day brings a new group of friends. She is crate-trained, and has her meals in her crate. She sleeps in her crate overnight, but would be fine sleeping with you, or in a dog bed once she is adopted.

Toefoo is house-trained and has mastered the dog door quickly. She goes in and out throughout the day to do her business. When she first got to her foster home she was not leash trained. With persistence and patience she has learned that the leash is not a bad thing and that she gets to go with her people if she has it on.

We don't think Toefoo was out in the world much before coming to her foster home. If you want her to take long walks and visit places with you, you will need to give her time to learn about being out and about. She gets spooked and will try to run away, but once she knows you've got her back, she settles down.

Toefoo is very affectionate with the people she knows and is super happy to see you. She's got a full-body wag and big smile. Could she be your newest family member? More images of Toefoo are available in her album: https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/toefoo

Ellie is a good watchdog, but sometimes has to be reminded to stop barking. She is house-trained when kept on a schedule. Since life has been hard for Ellie, she craves attention and is looking for a home with someone who is retired or works from home, and perhaps a canine companion too! She can be an escape artist and will need a very secure fenced yard. Ellie is very sweet and loving and really deserves a comfy home and steady companionship.

Over a weekend in late Sept of 2026, Baxter and four other small dogs (two being Poodles and a Yorkie) were found as strays along a dirt road in a very rural area of Georgia. A sixth small dog, breed unknown, was also found deceased on the side of this road. All of the dogs were extremely matted, appeared to have suffered from long-term neglect and were very terrified. Immediately upon their arrival, they were sent to a local groomer who had to completely shave them down to remove all of the matted fur. We can only assume that these dogs had been abandoned by a breeder within that area.

Due to space limitations at SoCo and to allow him to decompress, the groomer offered to foster Baxter and his four companions for a couple of weeks. During that time, Baxter was able to recover from his ordeal. He's since also proven to be very friendly and affectionate towards people, despite the obvious neglect by his former owner, and also gets along great with other dogs. Baxter deserves a home that will give him ample amounts of love, proper care (including regular grooming) and some patience while he continues to learn that being a dog means much more than just being a source of income.

We've now had Baxter neutered and renewed his annual vaccinations and de-wormings. He's also been started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. His recent vet examination resulted in a negative test results for heartworms. Baxter will most likely need further house and leash training once in a new home. Baxter has already been microchipped as well

Molly is a very sweet, playful pup who gets along great with new people and other dogs. She has a wonderful, affectionate personality and will make a great addition into just about any home. She will most likely need additional house and basic training once in a new home.

Molly has already been spay and has received an update on all of her annual vaccinations and de-wormings. She's also been kept up to date on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

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!

I am still not comfortable walking on a leash, and I startle at loud noises, so my forever home will need a fenced yard so I can show off my house-training. I would also love another confident younger dog to help me continue learning to be my best self. I am learning to keep all four paws on the ground when I get excited, which means I probably shouldn't go to a family with small children – I might knock them over with my long legs.

My foster family is so proud of me for the progress I have made, and I am looking forward to a forever family who can be patient with my training! In the meantime, I am perfectly Poppy. You can see more of my photos at this link:

Ivonne is great on leash and has a medium-to-low energy level. She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a dog who enjoys both getting out for a stroll and cozying up at home.

Ivonne has previously lived with other dogs. She has also done well around a young baby, even rolling onto her belly for pets. She appears to be very comfortable meeting new people and has shown no issues with strangers.

Ivonne is currently heartworm positive, but her treatment is covered and will be starting soon.

All around, Ivonne is an adorable, loving, easygoing girl who is ready to bring lots of affection, companionship, and sweetness into her forever home. She has so much love to share and is just waiting for the right person to discover what a special girl she is!

Any loving home would be perfect. Once she gets to know you, she’s very sweet and likes to be around someone. She does get short bursts of energy, but seems to enjoy relaxing. She likes children and adults. We haven’t seen not seen her interact with other animals, but she’s extremely sweet. I’m sure she would get along with under pets.

Temperament: Gets along with all humans, no experience with other pets

Training: unknown

Vetting: Spay will need to be scheduled when she has a place to recover,

What she needs: Penelope is an anxious girl, and she takes daily anxiety medication. If someone approaches or tries to catch her too quickly, she may bark or nip out of fear. Let her come to you, and she will. She does not do well crated (she’ll cry for hours) but doesn’t need to be. She does best with someone home much of the day who can give her plenty of attention.

Other pets: She’s best as the only dog, or with a carefully matched, easygoing companion. She does well with confident cats but may chase a fearful one.

Best fit: a patient adult or retiree, a calm and consistent home, older respectful kids at most.

Penelope has been through several homes, and her current foster isn’t a long-term option. She needs her forever person soon.
