Story
If you're into lowriders, Pokey might just be your guy. He's on the small side, 17 lbs., has the short legs of a dachshund and the cute face of a chihuahua. He's trained to use a doggie door and housetrained! Pokey came in with his brother Gumby when their owners lost their home. He came to live with us while he waits on his perfect new family. He is shy, and a bit afraid of new people. A home with a fenced yard will help with socializing Pokey. He need leash training, but with a yard would give him the confidence to go straight out.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved.

Story
Leaving the only home she had ever known at 8 years-old was upsetting for Izee, but it took her only a day or two to settle in to her new foster home and show what a wonderfully resilient gal she is. Friendly, well-mannered, and oh-so-playful, Izee has really won everyone's heart, both human and canine. Since she absolutely loves going for walks and checking out all the fascinating scents of the neighborhood, she gives thumbs up to her new exercise routine that we expect to take her from her current 31 lbs. down to a more healthy 25 lbs. or so. Of course diet is also part of the new regimen, and thankfully she isn't too agitated about her lower rations; she eats quickly but then doesn't pester for more nor try to invade her foster brother's bowl. It's hard to tell what Izee loves the most: getting butt scratches, playing catch or tug-of-war, wrestling with her foster brother, or a leisurely snooze on the couch. All of these activities add great contentment to her life, and she is hoping for a new home where she gets plenty of all. You'll appreciate her great house manners and reliable house-training, as well as her easy-going nature upon meeting newcomers (once she has barked at them at the door, of course). At night she'd love to snuggle in your bed with you, but if you prefer to sleep dog-free, she will spend the night in a crate or on a nearby dog bed. Izee's only significant issue is a skin allergy. Her discomfort is mostly controlled on a limited ingredient diet with occasional spritz of anti-itch spray, but if she has a flare-up, she gets relief from a course of Apoquel (~ $24/month). If you can recognize Izee's happy heart, please visit her online album at https://imageevent.com/beales/fosters/izee to see lots more pictures of her plus additional information. Then don't forget to put in an adoption application!Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old.

Story
You can see the conflict in Luke's eyes: he so wants to come to you for pats and attention, which he craves, but he is nervous around most people and their too-quick movements or outstretched hands, so he'll back safely out of reach. Not too far away, though... he really wants to be nearby and will often follow you around the house or yard like a quiet little shadow. When his skittishness isn't getting the best of him, Luke is a wonderful little 16 lb. companion with a gentle nature, great house manners, and fabulous leash-walking skills. He has an adorably quirky 'smile' when he is feeling affectionate and wants to give kisses. His house-training is reliable when he is kept on a routine and his humans don't ignore his soft whining cues. Luke will spend the night curled up in bed with you or, if you prefer, in a nearby crate where he'll rest comfortably and patiently until you let him out in the morning. He is congenial with other dogs, hanging out near them and sometimes trying to entice them to play with bows and feints and excited zoomies. He is uncomfortable when they get too close at treat time, however, or if he thinks they're trying to take his coveted space on the couch next to Foster Dad, in which case he'll give a warning growl to tell the other dog to back off. He is accustomed to living with cats, mostly just ignoring them. Luke is 6 years-old but he doesn't seem to know basic commands – yet! He is very food motivated, though, so he may do well with training. Luke is hoping for a quiet home with patient, dog-savvy adult humans, especially if they're slow-moving and like to sit around giving lots of pets and scratches and belly rubs. You can see lots more pictures of him and a few videos in his album at www.ImageEvent.com/beales/fosters/luke .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old.

Story
Lilly was adopted from a shelter in 2019. They did not have much history on her and estimated that she was 3 yrs old which would make her 8 yrs old now. Lilly is high energy but also likes to snuggle in a comfortable spot. The most important thing about her is that she loves to be around people. She will be your constant companion following you around. She would do best in a home where someone would be with her or can take her with you. She is a single pet now but acclimates quickly to other dogs. She can be sensitive about her back legs being touched. Her teeth were not in great shape when she was adopted and aging has lead to some falling out. She has switched to a softer food and has had no problems with eating or her weight. Lilly is amazing at playing catch. She loves a space to run and catch the ball, she is very fast! She currently has access to a doggy door and is very good at communicating her needs. She understands basic commands like sit.
