The album will contain the dogs which are available for adoption from the puppy mill. Information on each individual dog will be posted under their photo INCLUDING follow up medical care that IS necessary. Adopters PLEASE note that these dogs came from terrible conditions in which they rarely received care and will require follow up. Each post will tell you what "POD" the dog is in by color code: Green (friendly) Yellow (behavioral/socialization issues) Red (Severe behavioral/Socialization/ medical issues). We will be starting with our vetted "Green" dogs and add from there.
Please note: Adoptions will not necessarily be based on a first come first served basis. Please submit an application for the dog you are interested in adopting and one of our volunteers will return contact with you. These dogs have been through so much in their lives, and it's important to find their perfect match.
Please make sure to review the adoption application and guidelines here: https://form.jotform.us/ 71243641222142
Like we have advised previously, we only retained approximately 40 dogs for adoption through our agency. As additional dogs are vetted and socialized better, we will add their photos to this album. Additional agencies which have dogs for adoption are the following:
Angels of Assisi
Angels Among Us
Cashiers Highlands Humane Society
Humane Society of Northeast Georgia
Humane Educational Society
McKamey Animal Center
Nashville Humane Association
PAWS of Bryson City
It was impossible for our agency to financially and physically to support all the animals to say with our agency. Volunteers are tending to the daily care of the retained animals.
Again, please understand that most of these dogs are not going to be the perfect pet right off the bat. They will require extensive follow up veterinary care, socialization, training, etc. Many will most likely not do well in a home with children. Puppy mills are not full of rolly polly healthy puppies. Puppies are sold as fast as possible, and the dogs that remain there as breeders are in horrific conditions, with untreated medical issues and left without human contact.
Please consider checking out some our current adoptable animals at the “regular” shelter that have nobody wanting them-the forgotten and abandoned animals needing homes desperately!
The adoption fee for all animals, adopted from the Habersham County Animal Shelter, is $110. The price of the adoption includes:

We are proud of our new "Play Area" for the Dogs! We encourage adopters to bring their current dogs if looking to add a new fur-member to their family so we can help you pick the right new pet for everyone in the household!
