Fayette County Humane Society

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.

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

Fencing Requirements: Some dogs require a fenced in yard. If we state that a dog must have a physical fence and you don't have one, please don't be insulted! We are not implying that you would not provide a good home for the dog, rather that, in our opinion, your home would not be the right home for that particular dog. There may be many reasons why our dogs need physical containment. Hound mixes and terrier mixes are not always reliable off-leash and will follow their noses as far as they can. Invisible fencing doesn't always work for these dogs either, since they will take the shock to be able to chase a rabbit, squirrel or the occasional cat. Some dogs have a hard time learning to go potty while on a leash. For these dogs, the lack of a fenced yard may cause them to lose their housetraining. Some dogs have sensitive temperaments. For those dogs, electric training collars and invisible fencing collars that use shock correction are poor training methods, as they can cause the dog to become fear-aggressive. With a foster-based program and years of rescue experience, we are able to judge each dog on his/her own merits. We wish to place the dogs in homes that will provide the best possible fit, both for their personalities and for the characteristics you are seeking in your new family member. Please help us set them up for success by honoring our fencing requirements for some of our dogs.

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.

Lola	Star of the Week Est. DOB: 3/12/09
	Lola brings with her the best of all worlds--she's a "mix of a mix." Therefore, we're calling her a "GBD".....a Georgia Brown Dog. At just over a year old, Lola has lots of personality to bring to a new family. She absolutely loves everyone and has lots of energy that would probably make her a great running companion. While she gets along well with everyone (except cats) , she might be best with kids over 10 only because she might be a little too energetic for younger children. Lola's adoption fee is only $100. Fill out a pre-adopt form here.

Ace	Est. DOB: 8/10/09
	What's an "Ace?" The same as "Number 1?" Best card in the deck? A pro? Any way you look at it, this "Ace" is special. He's a fabulous little purebred Dachshund whose family couldn't keep him any longer. Ace LOVES kids and other dogs and his friendly personality draws everyone to him. Ace would like an active family to keep him entertained, and in turn he will remind you every day why you love him. Ace's adoption fee is $200. Click here to complete pre-adopt form.

Sully	Est. DOB: To Be Determined
	Sully's foster LOVES this guy. She says he is soooo sweet and he loves other dogs, kids and grownups. Not only does Sully smile when he's happy, but if you'll notice his tail in the photo...it's not a "smear"...it's a tail in motion!!! Sully is a year old Lab mix that just loves life...and his toys! He was found wondering on a dirt road and when he was vet checked he was found to be positive for heartworm. However, Sully is now recovering from the heartworm treatment and is feeling full of himself. His handsome face says it all..."I'm a great guy." Sully's adoption fee is $175.

Abbie	Est. DOB: 7/4/09
	Abbie is one of our home grown GBD's (Georgia Brown Dog). For those of you unfamiliar with the "breed," it means "we don't know what she is and she's brown!" Abbie's good with other dogs any size and wants to play with cats. One "hiss" from the cat and she usually goes away. See how smart she is? Abbie hasn't been around small children so it's probably safe to say she'd be better with children over 10 due to her high energy level. Therefore, we want Abbie's new home to have a fenced in back yard. Abbie is up to date on her shots, spayed, heartworm negative, micro-chipped and house broken. Make Abbie a member of your family and celebrate the 4th of July AND her birthday on the same day. Abbie's adoption fee is only $100. Fill out a pre-adopt form here.

	Just looking at this little lady should tell you something about her....like she has lots of energy and would love to be living with an active family. Razzle is an Italian Greyhound mix. She's relatively small at 25-30 pounds. Razzle likes other dogs...probably because they would provide some extra entertainment for her. She has learned "sit", "down", "wait" and she can "speak" on command! She's a really smart girl who loves to give kisses and try to sit in your lap! Razzle is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.....all ready to go. Come let RAZZLE DAZZLE you!! Click here to complete pre-adopt form.

Teek	Est. DOB: 1/22/08

Teek is a little more cautious of men, but warms up when he gets accustomed to them. His unusual coloring make Teek a really dapper guy, and if you really want to be friends with him, give him a belly rub. Ahhhhhhh. You're his new BFF!

They love to play with each other and other dogs. Toya loves toys and always wants to play chase. Tiny was a quick learner and got "sit, shake, and lay down" in one week!

Cali Baby	Est. DOB: 5/20/08
	Cali Baby loves people. She is very outgoing and wants to meet everyone she sees. She is very lady like when she introduces herself to new people—"stranger" is not in her vocabulary. She is sweet, loving and obedient—although she can be stubborn when she wants to go somewhere and you are busy. In fact, Cali Baby will whine and whimper as if she is saying, “come on, let’s go; we’ve been sitting around here too long.” She loves to ride in the car and would prefer to go with you than to stay home. The ideal family for Cali Baby would enjoy outdoor activities that would include her and have an escape proof yard and lots of love to share. Cali's adoption fee is $175.

Austin, Bess, Casey, and Delia	Est. DOB: 5/29/10
Austin Bess Casey	These precious little puppies were found on the side of a road and turned over to Animal Control. Because they needed extra care, we pulled them at about six weeks and now their foster mom is showering them with love and attention. Austin, the only male, seems to have a protective spirit. Bess is very quiet but likes to be held and is generous with her kisses. Casey seems to be the dominant puppy. She is also very sweet but does not like to share her food. Delia is the baby of the group. She loves lap time and shows her appreciation with lots of kisses. Delia is very playful and especially likes playing in her water bowl. They appear to be a Shepherd mix with the possibility of some beagle in there somewhere and maybe a bit of lab. Who knows, but cute is cute no matter what name it goes by. If we had to guess, we think they may be small to medium size when grown. Their weights now range from 11 to 13 pounds. If you'd like to have a sweet young puppy to watch grow up, you couldn't do better than these precious babies. They will all be spayed/neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on their vaccinations.

Jenkins	Est. DOB: 5/22/09
	Jenkins is a tri color beagle who was rescued from a South Carolina shelter. He was given to the USDA to be trained as a sniffer dog in airports. Unfortunately, his exam at the vet revealed a slight luxating patella on his left rear leg, so he was not able to join the beagle brigade.

Scooter	Est. DOB: 2006
	If dreams can come true, Scooter, a 4 year old cocker spaniel, would be that dream. Scooter would make a good apartment dog or city dog because he doesn't like grass--especially when it's wet! He is the type of dog that goes out to potty and wants to come right back in the house but he is wonderful on a leash. When his foster mom takes him out for a walk, she comes home with her arm still in the socket! He is a real gentleman. Scooter would be much happier with someone who is home all day. He is never more than a few inches from his foster mom and will go wherever she is and lay on the floor and wait for her to move. Scooter will sleep in a crate all night after a little whining but really puts up a fuss if he has to be in it for a while during the day. He wants to love and be with his human. He gets along with other dogs (mostly ignores them) and cats He is most definitely a people dog. Scooter would be good in a family or with an older adult. Come see if Scooter is YOUR dream come true!

Sadie	Est. DOB: 5/28/10
	Sadie is an adorable 7 year old fawn pug with tons of personality. Sadie belonged to the same family since she was a pup. Unfortunately, they had to give her up for financial reasons. Sadie is full of life and loves to play fetch with toys. She is very smart and will go get a toy when told and bring it to you to play. She will play as long as you're up to it and her foster mom says she will out last you! But when done, she wants nothing more than to cuddle up with her people and be loved on. Sadie gets along well with other dogs but sometimes likes to let them know she thinks she is boss. She would do well with children, also. She is a pug so, yes, she snores and pants very loud when excited or overheated. She is an indoor dog only and totally housebroken. She weighs 27 lbs and could stand to go on puggy weight watcher's diet and loose a few. Sadie is a delight and a bundle of love and would make someone a great companion. She is heartworm negative and up to date on her shots. Sadie's adoption fee is $175. Click here to complete pre-adopt form.

Shadow	Est. DOB: 3/24/08
	Shadow is a 2 1/2 year old, approximately 50 pound, German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. He has a beautiful and silky soft coat. Shadow is housebroken with wonderful house manners. He originally came to us when his time was up at a local shelter and was adopted by a family, but because of some difficult life circumstances, they were no longer able to keep him when they had to move to an apartment. He was used to having a fenced yard to enjoy for play time and apartment life, which meant he had to walk on a leash, just didn't suit him. He is shy in new situations, but it only took a day to adjust and be his wonderful self at his foster mom's home. He loves to be right beside you. He's an active dog who gets along well with other dogs that like to play. Shadow wants to have a forever home. Click here to complete pre-adopt form.

Gabe	Est. DOB: 8/19/09
	Meet 1 year old Gabe---short for Gabriel, one of the seven archangels in the Hebrew tradition. Everyone who meets him knows he is definitely the dog version of an angel. Gabe is a black and tan, 18 pound Min Pin mix who doesn't know a stranger and who wants to be everyone's friend. He's very sociable and affectionate. Gabe was found roaming a neighborhood and after an extensive search, no one claimed to be his owner, so he was turned over to us to find him a home.

Gabe seems to love everyone and would make a great part of your family. Who doesn't need an angel in their life? Click here to complete pre-adopt form.
