Story
Ms. Masel is a seven year old, 63 pound chocolate lab that was dumped on a road with 2 other dogs and picked up by a shelter. She has a microchip, but the original owner couldn’t find the info for the person that she gave them to and sounds like they don’t need her back. She was good with the people who found her and their dogs and seems to be housetrained and good in the house. If you would like to foster to adopt the marvelous Ms. Masel, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com to fill out an application. ##2427610##

Story
Meet Lady – A Resilient Red Pit Mix Ready to Love Again Lady is a gorgeous red Pit mix with a gentle soul and a strong heart. She was found wandering the streets alone, but despite her rough start, she’s blossomed into a sweet and affectionate companion. Now, she’s ready to leave her past behind and find a loving forever home. Lady is calm, loyal, and loves being close to people. She walks well on a leash, enjoys a good belly rub, and is always eager to please. Her warm eyes and wagging tail say it all—she just wants to be someone’s best friend. Lady would thrive in a calm, stable environment with a family that can give her the love, patience, and security she deserves.  Lady may have had a tough beginning, but she hasn’t let that dim her loving nature. She's proof that rescue dogs can be some of the most grateful and devoted companions. If you’re looking for a loyal friend to share life’s quiet moments, Lady is your girl. ##2409367##

Story
Say aloha to Nani! Just like her name (which means "beautiful" in Hawaiian), this stunning girl is full of charm and heart. With her striking black and white coat and soulful eyes, Nani turns heads wherever she goes — but it's her sweet, intelligent personality that really wins you over. Nani is an Aussie mix, so she’s got brains, energy, and a strong desire to bond with her people. She loves learning new things and is already picking up on basic training like a pro! Whether it's hiking, playing fetch, or curling up for a movie night, Nani is ready to be your right-paw pup through it all. She’d do best in an active home where she can get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and love. Nani is friendly with people and enjoys other dogs, making her a great companion for all sorts of families. Nani is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines — all she needs now is you! ##2423262##

Story
Say hello to Pleakley, the quirky, curious, and absolutely lovable Aussie pup! With his handsome coloring, blue eyes, and boundless energy, Pleakley is a total showstopper. True to his namesake from Lilo & Stitch, he’s a little oddball in the best way—always observing the world with wonder, zooming around like he's on a mission from another planet, and ready to be your loyal sidekick. Pleakley is a smart cookie and will thrive with structure, training, and playtime. He’s learning the ropes of leash walking and potty training, and he’d love a home that will continue teaching him new things. Like most Australian Shepherds, he’ll do best with an active family who can give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He’s great with people, curious about other dogs, and would make an amazing adventure buddy or agility partner. He’s still a baby, so he's looking for someone patient and committed to raising him into a confident, well-mannered dog. If you're looking for a fun-loving, brainy pup who’ll bring a little cosmic charm to your life, Pleakley is your guy! ##2423263##

Story
Meet Fynn – A Little Dog with a Big Heart  Fynn may be small in size, but his spirit is absolutely mighty. This adorable chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) is looking for a loving forever home where he can feel safe, snuggled, and supported. Fynn has shown signs that he may have a seizure disorder. He’s currently under evaluation, and we’re doing everything we can to understand his needs and provide the best care. He may need a family that's comfortable managing special medical needs—or willing to learn with guidance and support. Despite his possible diagnosis, Fynn is full of love, loyalty, and sweetness. He enjoys curling up in cozy spots, following his favorite humans around the house, and receiving gentle pets and praise. He might need a little extra TLC, but he gives back tenfold with every wag of his tail and look of devotion. What Fynn is Looking For a patient, compassionate adopter. Someone comfortable managing or learning about seizure care. And a family ready to love him unconditionally—just the way he is. If you’re ready to open your heart to a dog who may need a little extra care but offers endless affection in return, Fynn is waiting to meet you. Adopt Fynn – and give this special little guy the safe and loving future he deserves. ##2412986##
