Available Dogs

Because our fosters work hard to rescue dogs who sometimes have had rough starts or sad circumstances and start to socialize them to be loving, trusting, indoor companions, we believe it is in their best interest to live in homes where they will truly be part of a family as indoor pets. True members of the family live indoors and spend quality time enjoying each other.  Dogs are social creatures and thrive on companionship as much as humans do.

We believe that putting a dog outside, unsupervised, for extended lengths of time is NOT in the best interest of the dog.  

The Fayette Humane Society encourages you to adopt an animal in need, understanding that our dogs will be adopted only to indoor homes where they will be a part of the family.

Below is a list of the puppies/dogs available for adoption. If you are interested in any dog in particular, please fill out the online Dog Pre-Adoption Form about the dog you have in mind. If you have any questions or would like to see the pet, email (info@fayettehumane.org) or call us (770-487-1073) and we will contact you to tell you more about the pet.

Adoptions: To see many of our dogs at once, come to the PetSmart in Peachtree City on Saturday afternoons from 12:00 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday afternoons from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Usually, all pets can be taken home the day you adopt them after you fill out paperwork. Sometimes a home visit is required prior to placement. Please stop by one of our adoptions or contact us for more information. (Please note that we are not affiliated with the Fayette County Animal Shelter and you must contact them for information on animals at the shelter. The phone number for the shelter is 770-631-7210.)

Fee: $150 puppies/dogs unless stated otherwise (cash or check only).

Adoption fee includes:  Spay/neuter, microchip w/registration, age appropriate shots, deworming, flea treatment, coupons provided by PetSmart for discounts on great items, and a DVD on what to do after you bring your new dog home.

There might be puppies and/or dogs available at the adoptions that have not yet been posted to the website.

Dave Star of the Week                          Est. DOB 1/08
His foster mom absolutely adores him!!!  Dave is a yellow Lab, probably between 2 and 3 years of age.  He is an absolute LOVER.  He and the large and medium size dogs in his foster home can't get enough of tug-of-war games with rope toys.  Dave's past is questionable since he needs a little more meat on his bones and he cowers when you raise a hand to just comb your hair or reach into a cabinet.  He also fears his leash so we don't know what experiences he's had prior to coming to the FCHS.  However, when he goes for a walk with his patient foster, he slowly comes around. He still has some puppy issues like chewing, but when you tell him to stop, he does.  Even with these issues, he loves to be loved and snuggle with you.  He's very playful, is good in his crate and has a great appetite!  He also has learned "sit and down" commands.  His new family will have to be very patient with him until he overcomes his fears, but he is a GREAT DOG and well worth the effort.  He will be a terrific family dog.

Teddy DOB 12/20/2007
Teddy is a 1 1/2 year old male Pugapoo (Pug and Poodle).  As with a full-blooded poodle, Teddy will need regular grooming as his hair grows longer.  He will make a wonderful companion for a family with a laid back lifestyle since he loves to be a lap dog and couch potato.  Older children suit him best.  He would prefer to be an only dog because he doesn't like to share the attention.  He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.

Noel & Holly  Est. DOB 8/20/2008                

At first we thought they might be Shepherd mixes, but their foster mom, who is also a professional dog trainer, thinks they might be "Carolina Dogs"  (carolinadogs.org).   But whatever name you want to label them with, the facts remain the same.  Both girls are very sweet and loving.  They enjoy playing with the other dogs in the home and they have been wonderful around children.  They bonded quickly in their current surroundings and with their foster mom, are crate trained, know basic commands, love to play with their toys and were very easy to house train.  While they are very comfortable in their own environment, they greet strangers very reluctantly at first.  For example, when a stranger approaches her, Noel will wag her tail as though she wants to be friends, but you have to earn that friendship.  These girls will make wonderful, very loyal and loving pets in a loving home.  Holly and Noel have always been together and because of their shy nature, we hope they can remain together.  The adoption fee will be waived if the girls can be adopted into the same home.

Foxy Est. DOB 7/3/02
This cutie is Foxy.  She's a very sweet Sheltie mix.  Foxy is a little shy at first but  is a very loving girl who is looking for a loving family to call her own.   It's believed that Foxy is between 5 and 7  years old which qualifies her for our Senior to Senior program. She has been spayed, micro-chipped,  her vaccinations are current and she is heartworm negative.  If you are looking for a fluffy little princess to call your own, please come and meet Foxy.

Tara Est. DOB 11/14/09
Tara appears to be a Lab mix and a fun loving puppy.    She and her littermates were abandoned on the side of a dirt road in January.  She loves lots of attention and would be a great addition to a home, even one with another dog.  Tara is current on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. 

Cody (adoption pending) Est. DOB:  January 2008
Cody is one of happiest German Shepherds you'll ever meet.  He was previously kept in a garage alone.  His "family" didn't even think enough of him to give him a name.  Just imagine what he has missed, and yet he is a sweet, but shy, little guy.  He is heartworm negative, up to date on all his shots, and neutered so he's ready to find out what a really good home can mean to a guy who deserves nothing less.  His ideal home will have a fenced in yard and no children under the age of 10.  Can you provide what Cody has missed? 

Nelly Est. DOB:  1/09
Loyal chocolate Lab seeks someone to love!  It only takes a few minutes with Nelly to realize she's special .  Based on Nelly's submissive behavior, we believe she may have had a difficult past.  Nelly exhibits separation anxiety, possibly because she had been left alone a great deal.  She simply wants to be with people at all times.  Nelly would love a home where her people were at home most of the time.  Her home will need either a privacy fence or large amounts of land where she could roam safely during exercise time.  Adoption fee: $175.

Violet Est. DOB  1/09

This beautiful 1 year old, 5 pound Chihuahua is Violet.  She is very sweet and loves to cuddle.  Violet’s perfect home would be with older children or an adult family.  Violet is current on vaccinations, de-wormed, micro-chipped, spayed, heartworm negative and already housebroken.  If you are looking for an adorable new friend, come meet Violet.


Charlie Daniels                          (adoption pending) DOB  12/17/09

Are you looking for a lovable hound?  Charlie Daniels appears to be a Basset Hound mix.  He loves people and would make a great family pet.  When kept to a strict schedule, Charlie also uses the bathroom outside regularly with few accidents indoors.  As with most hounds, he will need a home with a secured yard for exercise time because hounds love to follow their noses and have a tendency to wander. 

Shelly Est. DOB 1/08
Attention Cocker Spaniel lovers!  The Fayette County Humane Society has the perfect dog for you!  Shelly is an energetic Cocker Spaniel mix.  She absolutely loves everyone...adults and kids alike!  Since Shelly follows commands well, she would even be suited as a family pet that has younger children.  Shelly is current on vaccines, spayed, heartworm negative, and micro-chipped. 

Kimberly (adoption pending) Est. DOB 1/08
Meet Kimberly, a Rat Terrier mix.  Kimberly was found by a local animal control.  When no one came to claim this sweetie, a FCHS volunteer rescued her.  Kimberly would be perfect for anyone looking for a lap dog.  She gets along well with other calm dogs and would thrive in a calm, quiet home.  If you're missing a loyal couch potato to warm your lap, Kimberly might be the dog for you.

Miss Lizzy Est. DOB 11/09
Miss Lizzy appears to be a Shepherd mix with a rich copper brown body, a black muzzle and some black in her tail.  Her foster mom found her February 4 huddled cold and wet in the yard of a vacant home where people had been living the week before.  She was too thin and had sores on her body.  The vet has started her  on "Revolution" for heartworm prevention, antibiotics, and medicated shampoo.  She is gaining weight and the sore below her eye is healing slowly.  She must have been kept inside because she panics when her foster takes her outside.  She has no problems with the cats living in her foster home when they go through her area and she wants to play with the other dogs in the  home. Lizzy sits in my lap to watch TV and wants to be around people.  She is very sweet and will be a great family dog.

Dahlia and Clover Est. DOB:  To Be Determined

Dahlia

 

 

Clover

Dahlia and Clover are beautiful lab mix puppies who were found abandoned on a busy road.  Dahlia is friendly and playful, while Clover is a cuddler who loves to be held.  We are currently taking pre-adopts on these puppies.  Won’t you consider giving one or both of these puppies a forever home?

 


Olivia Est. DOB:  2/1/09

Meet Olivia, a one year old Shepherd mix.  Olivia was found in poor condition wandering the streets, but thanks to the love and patience of her rescuers, she has made a great recovery.   Olivia loves to play with other dogs and is also good with children.  This wonderful dog is ready for a loving home. 

Ike Est. DOB:  3/1/09

 

Ike is a beautiful German Shepherd with a loving nature. He found himself in a bad situation a few weeks ago when he had an accident in the kitchen.  Ike's previous family had left a boiling pot of water on the stove and when Ike came along like most big breed puppies he wanted to check out what was cooking.  In Ike's moment of nosiness, he hit the boiling pot of water and it came down on him.  Ike was in a lot of pain and his owners couldn't care for him the way that was needed for this injury.  So instead of having him destroyed, they called us for help and we are so glad they did, because this world would have been a sad place without this amazing dog in it.

During all of the stages of care this big guy has endured, he has always had a wagging tail and a gentle lick.  The vet believes Ike will make a full recovery with only minor scars from his ordeal.  Ike will not be ready for adoption for many weeks, but pre-adopts will be accepted.  PLEASE CONSIDER  MAKING A DONATION TO IKE'S CARE.  IT IS WITH THE GENEROSITY OF KIND PEOPLE THAT WE CAN ENSURE MANY MORE ANIMALS WILL BE GIVEN THE CHANCE AT LIFE. 


Dewey DOB: 2/13/07

This cute guy is Dewey, a 14 pound Chihuahua/Pug mix.  He was one of several dogs we took in from a breeder.  Dewey has a great personality once he warms up a little.  He loves to play, follow you around the house, seems to get along with all animals, and is housebroken.  Dewey needs a home where he can be someone's everything and receive the love he should have always had.   If you are looking for an amazing blue eyed friend, Dewey is your man.

Will DOB: 9/10/09

This adorable little guy is Will, a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix.  Will was rescued from a breeder who surrendered a few of her dogs to FCHS so we could help thin out her "inventory".  Will is about 9 pounds and seems to get along well with other dogs.  He wasn't socialized as well as he should have been, but will get better when he gets his forever home.  Will is the most playful little guy and very outgoing.  If you are looking for a furry friend that will bring you tons of smiles, this is your guy.

Stewie DOB: 9/10/09

This adorable little guy is Stewie, a Dachshund/ Chihuahua mix.  Stewie was rescued from a breeder who surrendered a few of her dogs to us so we could help thin out her "inventory".   Stewie is about 7 pounds and seems to get along well with other dogs.  He wasn't socialized as well as he should have been, but will get better when he gets his forever home.  Stewie is a great little guy and will make a wonderful companion.

Luke DOB: 9/10/09

This adorable little guy is Luke a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix.  Luke was rescued from a breeder who surrendered a few of her dogs to us so we could help thin out her "inventory'.  Luke is about 7 pounds and seems to get along well with other dogs.  He wasn't socialized as well as he should have been but will get better when he gets his forever home.  Luke is a shy boy and would most likely do best in an adult home.  If you want a tiny adorable friend look no further.

Lucas DOB: 9/10/09

This adorable little guy is Lucas, a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix.  Lucas was rescued from a breeder who surrendered a few of her dogs to us so we could help thin out her "inventory".  Lucas is about 6 pounds and seems to get along well with other dogs.  He wasn't socialized as well as he should have been, but will get better when he gets his forever home.  Lucas was born with a umbilical hernia.  If you are looking for a tiny amazing little friend, come meet Lucas.  Lucas's adoption fee is $200 in order to help cover the cost of his additional surgery.  If you can't adopt him, please consider making a donation towards his care. 

Diego DOB:  12/15/05

Diego is his foster family's heart throb!  They absolutely adore this 4 year old, pure bred, AKC registered Bichon Frise.  Diego weighs in at 12 pounds of sweetness.  He didn't have the ideal situation before coming to us.  He was crated the majority of time, but is doing incredibly well in his new environment.  We are looking for a loving home that would be everything this patient and loving little guy deserves.  In spite of being alone much of the time, he's a happy fellow who wags his tail a lot and just wants to be someone's lap dog and bed partner.  Even though he'll occasionally "mark" his spot, Diego is housebroken.  He does well with other dogs and cats, and although he's never been around other dogs, he's not aggressive or fearful.  He also loves to ride in the car so he can be your companion while at home AND away.  Diego is neutered and up to date on his shots.  We have all his AKC documents and his entire vet history that will go along with him to his new home.  Diego would be fine in a home with children over 6 and one where someone is home all day to give him all the love and attention he deserves and to be sure he won't spend his days crated again.  Because of a required home visit, Diego must be adopted within the metro Atlanta area only.  His adoption fee is $250.  We promise this little guy will win your heart, too.

Java DOB:  1/11/10

Java is one of a litter of nine Lab mix puppies.  She is completely black and one of the most dainty and petite of the females.  She is an extremely sweet natured puppy.  She is a quiet pup but will let it be known when it is time to eat.  Java loves cats and all size dogs to play with.  This little darling is spayed, micro-chipped and is now eagerly awaiting to give puppy dog kisses to her new family!

Paisley DOB:  2008

Paisley is a beautiful 2 1/2 year old Shepherd mix weighing about 58 lbs.  She was found as a stray by a local veterinarian.  Paisley is very sweet and good with children, but should be the only pet in the home.  She has been treated for heartworms and is in good health.  Paisley is current on her vaccinations and spayed.   If you are looking for a loyal young lady to be a part of your family, come say hello to Paisley and see if she's a good match for you.

Sophie DOB:  2009

Sophie has a face that will make you smile and feel really good.  She's a captivating Boxer who has lots of special qualities.  She's not only a beauty, but she's sweet as can be.  She loves to play with kids and does well with other pets.  And like most Boxers, Sophie has lots of energy.  She'd love to take you for walks and be your best friend.  Sophie is spayed, micro-chipped, up to date on shots and ready to go.  Adoption fee is $200.
