Jazzy
Young • Female • Medium
Jazzy’s journey hasn’t been easy—this incredibly resilient girl was found as a stray after giving birth to her puppies and ended up in a high-kill shelter. Thanks to some amazing people, her puppies are now safe and thriving—and now it’s Jazzy’s turn to be the one who’s cared for and cherished. Recently, Jazzy was taken to the vet, where an X-ray revealed something shocking: she had a corn cob lodged in her intestinal tract that may have been there for months—even during her pregnancy and while caring for her newborn pups. Despite the pain she must have been in, Jazzy never stopped being a gentle, loving mama. She’s since had the corn cob removed and is recovering well—just one more example of her strength and sweet spirit. Jazzy is as loving as they come. She adores children and enjoys spending time outside, especially soaking up sunshine in a quiet yard. She loves to relax and be close to her people, often leaning in for affection and snuggles. Jazzy seems to prefer the company of certain dogs over others, so a meet-and-greet with any future canine siblings is always a good idea. If you’re looking for a kindhearted, gentle companion with a story of survival and sweetness, Jazzy may be your perfect match. JAZZY IS CURRENTLY IN GA BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE. Read below for more information. Our dogs are transported to a predetermined location agreed upon by the rescue.

Romeo
Adult • Male • Medium
Hi there! My name is Romeo, and just like my name suggests, I’m a total sweetheart. I’m incredibly affectionate and loyal, and I love nothing more than being close to my humans. I have a great balance of energy—I enjoy being active and playful, but I’m also a big fan of lounging around and taking naps. I’m already potty trained, crate trained, and I’m doing awesome at learning new commands. I’m looking for a family that’s calm, confident, and willing to keep helping me grow with my training program I will be completing this month. While I’m pretty easygoing, I’d love a home with older kids and a fenced-in yard where I can stretch my legs and play! I’m smart, friendly, and naturally protective of the people I love. I do well around other pets—including chickens! I haven’t met a cat yet, so we’d have to see how that goes. I enjoy meeting new people and always get compliments on how handsome and well-behaved I am during walks. I’m a healthy, happy young dog just looking for the perfect place to call home—where I can be your loyal Romeo and soak up all the love and attention I’ve been dreaming of.
