Story
Hi, I’m Athena, a big girl with a big heart! I absolutely love people and toys – give me a toy, and I’m in heaven, ready to play for hours! I’m goofy, energetic, and full of joy, but I don’t always realize how big I am. I’ll try to be a lap dog and cuddle right up, even though I might be a bit too big for that! One of my favorite things in the world is having a big backyard to run around in or going for long walks. I’ve got tons of energy, and I love to stretch my legs and enjoy the great outdoors. I’m also really interested in squirrels and birds – I’m not shy about chasing after them, so you’ll want to keep an eye on me!I know my basic manners and respond really well to consistency – I’m a smart girl and eager to learn more. If you’re looking for a loving, joyful, and playful companion, I’d love to be your new best friend!

Story
Hi, I’m Butter—a gorgeous, fluffy, 6-year-old guy with a bit of an independent streak. I might take a little time to warm up to new people, but once I’m outside, I’m full of confidence and love exploring the world around me. I don’t always seek out affection, but I’ll let you pet me when I’m feeling comfortable. I’m more about doing my own thing, and I’m happiest when I’m outside marking my territory and strutting my stuff with my tail held high.While I may not be big on treats or constant attention, I do enjoy some playful time in the yard and will show off my fun side when I’m ready. I don’t potty in my kennel, so I might already be housebroken, which is always a plus!If you’re looking for a laid-back, independent companion who enjoys his space but still has a playful side, I could be the perfect fit for you! Let’s take things at my pace, and I’ll show you what a good boy I can be.

Story
Meet Sasha, a 6-year-old, 68-pound easy-going sweetheart who has quickly become a volunteer favorite. With her lower energy level and affectionate nature, Sasha is the perfect companion for those looking for a calm, lovable friend. She may be a little reserved at first, but once she feels comfortable, she’ll happily open up, showering you with love and even rolling over for belly rubs. Sasha walks beautifully on a leash and gets excited for her daily strolls, where she enjoys taking in the sights and smells. She’s a big fan of treats, stuffed toys, and playtime with her favorite people. While she’s not reactive to other dogs, she hasn’t been officially dog-tested yet. If you’re looking for an easy-going, affectionate girl who loves walks, toys, and snuggles, Sasha might just be your perfect match!

Story
URGENT PLACEMENT NEEDED!!! I am a neighbor of the dog's owner. He is very ill and hasn't been able to care for his dogs. He has agreed to surrender the dog and he signed to relinquish him. This placement is urgent. Puko is extremely thin and is not socialized. He is 3 yrs old. He has been on a tethered dog run for his whole life. I have been taking them in at night to keep them out of the cold and rain. I am afraid I can't continue caring for them too much longer. I have pets of my own. I hope to hear from you soon about a placement.

Story
Zoomer is incredibly handsome and super smart. He's able to master new skills quickly and curious about the world around him. Zoomer LOVES car rides and walks. He's strong, so, he'd do best with a more active adopter who is looking for an adventure buddy. He would love to hike and camp and sit out under the stars. He would love road trips and roughing it in the great outdoors. He'd love having a backpack and a job. He would love being included and being talked to. He'd love to feel like he belongs. Zoomer's adoption fee has been paid for by his Secret Crush!

I’m the kind of girl who knows how to turn every moment into an adventure and every frown into a laugh! What Makes Me Special: I’m funny, quirky, and full of energy—you’ll never be bored with me around! I’ve got a playful streak a mile wide and love to entertain my humans with my silly antics. Despite my goofy side, I’m also incredibly sweet and loyal—I love being part of the family. Whether it’s going for a hike, zooming around the yard, or snuggling up after a fun day, I’m all in. My Ideal Home: I’d thrive in a home that matches my energy and zest for life! If you love the outdoors, have a sense of humor, and are ready for a best friend who will keep you laughing, I’m your girl. I wouldn’t mind being the star of the show as your only pet, but I could also do well with a playful, well-matched dog sibling. How You Can Help Kacy: Adopt Me! I’m ready to bring joy, love, and lots of laughs into your life. Share My Story. Help me find my perfect family by spreading the word—who wouldn’t want a fun-loving goofball like me? I’m here, waiting to make your life more colorful and exciting. Let’s make it official—email my rescue today to meet me!   This is a Courtesy Post for Canine Crusaders of Atlanta.  Please contact them directly for more info on Kacy at caninecrusadersatlanta@yahoo.com . Meet Miss Kacy: a fun, loving, 3 year-old, female Husky mix, who’s as sweet as they come! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Kacy is extremely outgoing and has the best personality. She absolutely loves everyone she meets and is a very happy, go lucky girl. Kacy is extremely smart and listens very well. She will sit, shake and lay down on command. She weighs around 50 pounds, is spayed, current on shots and crate trained. Kacy doesn’t have the thick, fluffy coat of a purebred Husky so that’s a lot less dog hair to brush!! She is great in the house and a non-chewer. Ready to add a fun, loving and spunky girl, who loves walks, car rides and especially belly rubs to your life?&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 ***Kacy needs a fenced yard, a 6 foot wood privacy fence works best.
