My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Franklin!! Franklin had a rough start to life, but times are a changing for this handsome boy! Backstory:  His humans moved and left Franklin along with 8 or 9 siblings - only two are known to have survived. Franklin is a testimony to the resiliency of dogs. He loves to be loved. He's submissive and adores belly rubs. His foster mom describes him as very mild tempered. We are so grateful for foster families who open their homes even when the situation isn't ideal. Their dogs aren't always welcoming to new pups, but the family is taking it slow and Franklin is handling it like a champ. He’s super loving and just wants to lay on the couch and cuddle. We doubt Franklin has ever been inside a house and was hesitant to enter. With winter bearing down on us, we’re beyond happy he is no longer living outside. Because Franklin never knew where his next meal was coming from, he's showing a little food aggression which is understandable and can be managed.  Foster mom and dad are working on potty training. Franklin goes outside frequently and has has no accidents in the house. Franklin would be fine in a household with kids & other dogs. He hasn’t been around cats. Franklin is approximately 2-3 years old and weighs around 60 lbs but is on the thin side, neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting/foster to adopt or adopting Franklin, please submit as adoption application.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a four part process.

Application: You will be required to submit general information along with personal and vet references.

Home visit: Potential adopters will receive a home visit by one of our members.

Meet -n- Greet: All family members (fur babies included) must meet the foster parent and pup they wish to adopt.

Here at Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, each adoption contribution is a flat rate per dog. We do not adjust this rate based on the "popularity" of a dog. We believe every dog is worthy of an owner that sees the value in them. Each adoption contribution is used to cover the expenses incurred for that dog and other dogs in our program.

Dirt Road Doggies Rescue, INC is located in the quaint town of Gillsville, in the foothills of the Georgia Mountains, just south of Gainesville. Our rescues are fostered in loving homes located in Hall, Jackson, and neighboring counties.

More about this rescue

We are a small canine rescue group located in Northeast Georgia that works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, fully vet, and re-home faithful dogs that have been tossed out of cars onto rural roads. We are a registered, 501c3 tax deductible Non Profit Rescue and we are licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture

All dogs in our program have been previously reported to animal control to ensure they were not lost pups who had a family diligently looking for them. We do not turn a dog away due to breed, health concerns, or age. It is our goal to keep these dogs out of animal shelters, thus saving their lives and providing more time to the dogs already in shelters to find their forever family.
