Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Cacao

Fast & Furriest

Meet Cacao, a sweet little 32# girl who had been obtained for the kids who soon grew bored with the day-to-day care of a dog. The parents then surrendered her to animal control. Little Miss C is a very sweet dog; shy at first but lights up when she gets to know you; especially if you want to play! We believe her to be a schnauzer mix. She will be completely vetted on 2/25.

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week- Fergie

Fast & Furriest

Fergie came to us from animal control in NW Georgia.  She had been found as a stray and nobody claimed her.  This little girl is about 2 years old; 22# and will treat everyone she meets with a waggy tail and puppy kisses.  She loves sitting on your lap and getting hugs.  Fergie is reactive to the other dogs so do not think she’s a good candidate for a multi-pet home but just know that she would be a perfect only pet.

Fast & Furriest

Take a look at that smile and tell us that you can resist him!  Meet Smokey, a 2 ½ year old, 34 lb. Pug/Cocker/Beagle mix with the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen.  He is shy at first but once he gets to know you, he’s your buddy!  Smokey enjoys a good back rub and you benefit by getting to enjoy his thick, silky coat.  Your reward is his big smile and puppy kisses.

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Domino

Community

365 may be just a number to you but January 9th, will mark how many days Domino has been at the shelter at HBPR. That’s a long time in dog or people years. This boy is not only handsome but is smart. He knows commands; walks great on a leash; house trained; loves to do zoomies and play fetch; a great co-pilot and enjoys just snuggling with his person. However, Domino was not socialized when he lived in a home for a year and is a bit fearful when in public. Domino has had canine friends but would probably do best in a home where he is the only pet with adults and older children. He does not do well with small children or cats. He is 3 years old and weighs around 50 lbs.

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Lula Belle

Community

Meet Lula Belle; a 2 ½ year old; 21 lb. beagle (mix??) who had lived in a terrible hoarding situation with 20 other dogs.  When rescued from that home, she found herself in a shelter for a year living in a crate/run and let out 3 times a day.  LB has been with HBPR since 11/20/21.  She is residing comfortably in a foster home with 3 dogs and a cat.  The fosters are retired and home most of the time.  At this time, a harness and leash is kept on her 24/7; in order to get her outside for walks.  Her leash walking is fine and enjoys sniffing the new smells.  LB has improved social skills to the point we feel she is ready for a forever home with a hero who will have the time and patience that it’ll take for her to bond.  (She bonded quickly to her foster dad and lets the rest of us in s-l-o-w-l-y.)  Another dog and a fenced yard would be an ideal home for LB.  Every day is a new discovery for her and us!

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Romi

Community

An unfortunate tale for this little guy named Romi.  He and his family found themselves without a home.  Once his family found temporary shelter, Romi was not welcome there.  We made him welcome at our shelter and found a very sweet, loving dog who enjoys the company of everyone; cats, dogs and kids.  He is around 10 years old; 13 lbs. and is ready for immediate adoption.  Come on!  Let’s get Romi home for Christmas!

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Cocoa Puffs

Community

What’s your kryptonite?  Mine are head tilts and cute underbites.  Cocoa Puffs is a winner in both of those categories. She had been an owner surrender at animal control; reason unknown.  CP is around 13 months old; around 42 lbs., lots of puppy exuberance, house trained, people pleaser and just a fun girl!  She supposedly gets along with children and was told she prefers the company of male dogs but the previous shelter had her playing with another girl and she did fine.

Cocoa Puffs obviously ADORES children! Look at her with one of her new friends!

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Lulu Belle

Community

Meet Lulu Belle, a 2 ½ year old beagle mix who weighs in at 21 lbs.  At first glance, you’ll see her pretty face but what you don’t see is the suffering she had in the past as part of a hoarding/abuse case and living in a shelter for a year without anyone showing interest in adopting her or her 2 siblings.  LB is in a foster home now and is very comfortable with the fosters’ 4 dogs and cat.  In less than a week, she started showing signs of trusting humans and allowed petting without getting direct eye contact.  In one week, we found out that she loves snacks and has bonded with her foster dad who makes liver treats!  In 10 days, she was on foster dad’s lap giving puppy kisses.  There’s hope for her future but will have to be a family with a lot of patience as they introduce Lulu Belle to the world.  She is now walking well on a leash and wears a harness.  A fenced yard and a mature dog would be perfect to show her how to be a dog.

Homeward Bound Pet of the Week: Neemo

Community

Yes!  This is a posed picture of Neemo but the smile is genuine and this is how he greets everyone he meets.  Although Neemo has spent the last few months of his life in a shelter environment, his attitude stays happy and grateful for the attention paid to him.  He loves to chase balls and do figure 8 zoomies and would do well with a fenced yard.  He plays well with some of the dogs he’s been introduced to.  Neemo is around 3 years old and weighs close to 50 lbs.  He thinks he’s a lap dog!

Homeward Bound Pet Of The Week: Tobias

Fast & Furriest

Play ball……anyone?  Someone?  Tobias, Mr. Black Velvet himself, is a ball chasing, fetching, zoomies kind of guy.  It doesn’t matter the size or color of the ball.  It’s all a game for this almost 2 year old lab mix.  He also has a gentle snuggly side and loves to go walking on a leash.  Tobias is friendly to other dogs he knows.  As with any dog, a meet and greet with your pet(s) would be necessary to determine compatibility.
