Creme captured my heart the first day I met her. I came to the shelter to photograph her and her puppy, Brulee. They were in the same cage. I took Brulee out first and went outside with him for his photo session. In the meantime, the kennel staff had put breakfast in all the cages. Creme could have gobbled down the whole bowl of kibble she’d been served but instead she only ate about 3/4 of it – saving the rest for her baby! Without even saying “hey thanks mom!”, he immediately gobbled the portion she’d saved for him when we put him back. Kids!
This couple must have seen that sweet heart shine through in Creme’s pictures because they found her online and completed an application to adopt, sight unseen!

We love our volunteers and adopters. So when a couple who volunteers with us adopted from us, we were over the moon! Volunteers Jackie and Kenny help us wrangle, exercise and showcase our dogs at mobile adoption events. When you’re hands on with the dogs on a regular basis you get to know them well….
Congratulations to Galaga and Megaman, the first two of Allie’s 12 babies to get adopted! Enjoy your new lives sweeties! Thank you to these families for adopting!
We’ve got the warm fuzzies about this adoption. We pulled Star from Cobb County Animal Control because they were full. Star’s a shy and sweet 70-lb gal. She never made a peep at adoption events or in her cage at the shelter. Happily, her gentle manner caught the eye of this family who sent us…
