Liberty (on the right in the photo) is loving, sweet and a wonderful addition to our family. She and Cooper (on the left in the photo) became fast friends and often cuddle together.
Thank you for allowing this beautiful little girl to be a part of our lives.~ J.Rock

Stanley chose us on May 4. When he came home he was nervous and it took us a couple of days to learn about each other and learn his food/potty times. After 3 days, he was completely house trained! He is very smart. He has already been trained to sit, sit up and we’re working on “stay”. He wants to learn and wants to please us. He has three toys he plays with all of the time. His typical day is –he sleeps all night, takes a walk around 10:00, eats, plays with the kids, loves to be outside and chase a small soccer ball. His best thing to do is to run after squirrels, then we take another long walk after dinner as a family.
He is very obedient, loves a bath, loves to snuggle, and loves Read »
Hi! Just wanted to send a quick note and some pics of our sweet Daisy dog. She has settled right into our home and is getting along great with everyone. The cats still aren’t too sure about her, but she doesn’t think they are that interesting anyhow. We love Daisy and are so glad we found her. Thanks Atlanta Pet & Rescue! ~ Meggan, Alan, and Amelia H.

Almost one year ago, I went to APRA to find a companion for Oliver, my 8 year old Toy Fox Terrier. After several visits and meeting several dogs, I came upon a tiny, reserved Chihuahua that would change my household forever. I brought her home and our story began.
We had a few bumps in the beginning – not even 2 weeks after bringing Lola home, the lymph nodes in her tiny neck began to swell. The vet thought she might have cancer. I was devastated, but thankfully, it ended up just being a very bad infection. And once my baby girl was all better, her true personality come out! Lola has completely taken over my house with her spunk and tiny bark (which always makes people in the neighborhood laugh Read »
I’d wanted a dog for some time, and after researching different organizations I decided to visit APRA to get a feel for the adoption process as this was my first adoption. I visited on a Saturday and at the very back of the dog section I saw and fell in love with Mandy. After bringing her home 3 months ago it feels like she has always been apart of the family.
Her first day was quite memorable since she was unsure of the couch and had to be coaxed to jump on it. I’m happy to say the couch is now one of her favorite spots to cuddle and take a nap. In the short time she’s been here she has learned sit, down, hand shake, speak and play dead. She loves going to the nearby dog parks and often gives Read »
It’s been almost six months since we adopted Baxter. When we first got him he was a little scrawny and under the weather but he bounced back pretty fast and has been healthy ever since. He loves the outdoors and would stay on the porch all day long if we would let him. He gets along well with our other dog, too. Much to our surprise he had been housetrained but we did take him to a refresher obedience class. He is very smart and a fast learner, but like all Westies he is stubborn!
We feel very fortunate to have a found a friendly and loving dog like Baxter. ~ Chris and Pam McS.
I adopted the dog formerly known as Cuervo on March 30, 2013. He has since been renamed Maximilian, or “Max.” When I met him at the shelter, I was told he was a breeder dog, and he was very, very timid. I had to give him several treats and be very very gentle to allow him to let me hold him when I first met him.
I am happy to report that Max has completely come out of his shell. He walks on
a leash, has a healthy appetite, and is a cuddle monster! He likes hiding his new toys around my home, but his favorite thing to do is snuggle. He regularly runs from my bedroom into the living room, jumps onto the couch, and immediately flips over for a belly rub. Sometimes he wags his tail Read »
Bruno is pretty active so it is not always easy to catch him still for a moment. He took to us and the house pretty fast. It was about 2 hours after we got him home that he seemed to have the “Yep I own this place” attitude.
As we just moved into this house right before we got him he has been enjoying the environment of boxes being perpetually emptied as it gives him a lot of things to play with. We discovered his love for fake mouse toys which will make him go bananas for hours on his own until he wears himself out. He is very disciplined and food motivated so Amy already taught him to sit before he gets a treat.
The other day he forced his way into the fireplace and had soot all over him. He of course Read »
Chewy is about to turn 3 years old in a few weeks. He has been a member of our family for just about two and a half years. What a joy he is to us. He was so sick when he first came home with us and now he is a completely healthy boy with tons of energy and love. We are so very grateful to have him in our lives. ~ Karen Y.
Hello! – We wanted to send an update on Gus (AKA Barley the pug) whom we adopted in January of this year. Gus was adopted HW positive and after his four month checkup, he is now HW free! Yay!
He is so full of life and funny to watch! He loves to bask in the sun and run around in his (newly) fenced yard. He has been such a joy and a wonderful addition to our family… He is already spoiled rotten and has more bones than he knows what to do with. Thank you again for all you do to rescue these pets and find them good homes. I recommend you to anyone I know looking for a new pet.
We will soon be looking for a brother or sister for Gus !
