Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some delightful doggies? There are dozens of darling dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Atlanta.
Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.
(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)
Max, Labrador retriever mix
Max is a handsome male Labrador retriever mix staying at Atlanta Lab Rescue. Max plays well with others, and he'll get along great with other dogs, cats and kids. He's already house-trained. Max is neutered, and he has all his shots. Max's current caretakers say: Apply to adopt Max today at Petfinder.
Max was surrendered by his owner because they couldn't care for him. Poor Max didn't do well in the shelter and completely shut down. Clearly, he was someone's companion and doesn't understand his fate. Luckily, the people who worked at the shelter brought him into their offices during the day and that seemed to help.
Bailey, pit bull terrier and American Staffordshire terrier mix
Bailey is a female pit bull terrier and American Staffordshire terrier mix staying at BullsEye Rescue, Inc. Bailey is a social animal, and she gets along well with other dogs, cats and children. She has been vaccinated and spayed. She's already house-trained. Notes from Bailey's caretakers: Read more about how to adopt Bailey on Petfinder.
Bailey is a really great young dog — the kind of puppy we wish all puppies would be! She's about 6 months old, has a sweet and friendly temperament, is not hyper or wild, and she's probably going to be the perfect 50-to-60-pound dog when she's full grown. She is awesome on the leash and with her manners.
Lizzy, beagle and boxer mix
Lizzy is a lovable female beagle and boxer mix being kept at SNAP 2 IT. Lizzy is a social butterfly, and she's happy to keep company with children, cats or dogs. She's vaccinated and spayed. She's already house-trained. From Lizzy's current caretaker: Apply to adopt Lizzy today at Petfinder.
Lizzy is about 2 years old. She gets along with everybody but she can be a little bit shy in new environments. She rides beautifully in the car and she has a very sweet and laid-back personality. She listens well and is eager to please. She is a curious George and she should not be left unattended. With a little puppy still in her she needs a good supply of chewing bones, as she will get into things. She is a great snuggle bunny and would like to go everywhere with you.
Sable, Labrador retriever mix
Sable is a sweet female Labrador retriever mix currently residing at Atlanta Lab Rescue. Good news: She's already house-trained. She's spayed, and she has all her shots. Here's what Sable's friends at Atlanta Lab Rescue think of her: Read more about how to adopt Sable on Petfinder.
Sable comes to us from a shelter where she was picked up as a stray. She is a little shy and participates in play groups but gets a little overwhelmed when there are a lot of dogs. She would do best in a quiet home where she can relax and enjoy being a companion dog.
