*** UPDATE: MARILYN HAS BEEN ADOPTED ***

Marilyn is a 3 year old, 12 lb Bichon/Mini Poodle mix. There's nothing more that she loves than head scratches and being pet. Her favorite place is laying beside you on the couch.
Though she's shy at first, she warms up quickly. She is good on a leash and is crate trained. She has done well with house training in her foster home as well.

Marilyn is fostered with other dogs and does well with them. She isn't fond of dogs who want to be in her face all of the time, and she has not shown interest in playing with other dogs. She is fine with cats as well.

To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org

Sammi needs her forever home! Would you like to adopt her? See contact info below. 😊❤️🐾

Orphan Annie Rescue asked us to share this little sweetie for them. Read her story below and contact OAR if you’re interested in adopting!

Sammi is a 7 lb Miniature Poodle who is 9 months old. She is very shy, but once you earn her trust, you will be rewarded with lots of love and snuggles. She will sit in her foster mom’s lap all day while she works from home and loves to be carried around.

While she is not high energy, Sammi does get bursts of energy where she is playful. Her foster family loves to watch her lope around their house and backyard. Squeaky toys are her favorite. She is gets along well with other dogs and while she primarily ignores cats, if they run, she does think they are trying to play. She was not socialized previously, so she is still learning what it means to be a family pet. Having another dog she can emulate would be a plus.

Collars and leashes are new to her. She has come a very long way in the time she’s been fostered in that she no longer tries to jump out of her skin when a leash is on her, but she is a long way from being able to comfortable walk and potty while on leash. Because of this, she REQUIRES a home with a secure, fenced yard, so she can safely go outside to potty. Sammi is crate trained and working on house training.

Sammi is not a match for children - sudden movements spook her (she will run away from things that make her nervous). She will thrive in a quiet home, willing to put in the time to work with her on building confidence. Sammi is as sweet as she is cute, and we can’t wait to see her blossom in the right home.

Nellie needs a home! Who do you know who needs a furry friend? 😊❤️🐾

Nellie was so sad and withdrawn when she first arrived but she has blossomed into a vibrant, happy girl. This little sweetheart came to us from a local shelter as an unclaimed stray. She was filthy and appeared to have been living outside. Nellie is just over one year old and she weighs eleven pounds. She has a long, soft coat and we think she may be part Schnauzer and part Shih Tzu. She will need regular grooming to keep her looking her best.

Nellie has a gentle demeanor and she loves to be petted. She craves the companionship of other dogs and her playful side really shows when she is in the company of other four-legged friends. Nellie doesn’t mind cats as long as they are nice to her. She will walk on a leash but having a fenced backyard to practice her zoomies would be an added bonus. You can see more photos and apply to adopt Nellie at www.SOHFGA.com.

Gorgeous English Springer Spaniel needs a home! 🥺🤗❤️🐾

Orphan Annie Rescue has this beauty queen who is looking for her perfect home. Please reach out to them directly with any questions about adopting her.

Eleanor is a 46 lb, 3 year old English Springer Spaniel. She is initially a tiny bit shy, but she is the sweetest girl who enjoys being pet and getting attention.

Eleanor is good with other dogs and enjoys their company. She has just started to play a little bit with her foster dog siblings, but she hasn't quite figured it out yet. She is such a sweet, loving dog.

Eleanor is crate-trained and has been house-trained in her foster home. She will go to the door to let her foster dad know she needs to go potty. She enjoys toys and will play with and chew them. She likes spending time outside with her foster dad and foster dog siblings. She would benefit from a fenced in yard because she is not used to pottying on leash.

To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org.

*** UPDATE - RUMOR HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! ***

Rumor is a 5 month old, 28 lb Standard Poodle puppy. She’s super sweet and loves pets and snuggles. She’s very friendly and enjoys adults, children, and other dogs. She likes toys and wrestling with her foster dog sister. She’s a little goofy, missing jumps onto furniture, and sometimes trying to crawl all over and kiss people who are relaxing.

She’s doing well with leash walking and she likes to stick close to her person. She does well in the crate overnight and is getting better about it when people are up and about. She has made house training progress but still has accidents as she’s still a baby. She is pretty equally motivated by food or affection and praise, which makes her a great candidate for puppy training.

To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org

You MUST live in metro Atlanta to adopt her.

❤️ 🐾 Meet Sammi! ❤️ 🐾

Sammi is a 7 lb Miniature Poodle who is 8 months old. She is very shy, but once you earn her trust, you will be rewarded with lots of love and snuggles. She will sit in her foster mom's lap all day while she works from home and loves to be carried around.

While she is not high energy, Sammi does get bursts of energy where she is playful. Her foster family loves to watch her lope around their house and backyard. Squeaky toys are her favorite. She is gets along well with other dogs and ignores cats. While she is not particularly playful with other dogs, having another confident dog in her home is ideal, so she can emulate them. She was not socialized previously, so she is still learning what it means to be a family pet.

In that same vein, collars and leashes are new to her, and she will thrash around, trying everything in her power to escape when put on a leash. Because of this, she REQUIRES a home with a secure, fenced yard, so she can safely go outside to potty. Sammi is crate trained and working on house training.

Sammi is not a match for children - sudden movements spook her (she will run away from things that make her nervous). She will thrive in a quiet home, willing to put in the time to work with her on building confidence. Sammi is as sweet as she is cute, and we can't wait to see her blossom in the right home.

*** UPDATE - COOKIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! ***

Cookie is a 1.5-year-old, 34 lb English Springer Spaniel with the softest ears, sweetest soul, and most heart-melting eyes you’ve ever seen. She’s currently looking for a forever home that’s as special as she is!

This sweet girl is shy at first, but with a little time and patience, she truly blossoms. She’s such a lovebug once she feels safe. 💛

Cookie’s favorite things?
🧸 Collecting toys like a little hoarder (it’s adorable!)
🐶 Playing with other dogs—she REQUIRES a confident canine sibling
🛋️ Snuggling into soft beds and discovering the magic of couches
🚗 Riding quietly and contentedly in the car
🐕‍🦺 Learning how fun walks can be (leash skills in progress!)
🪴 Exploring the yard—she REQUIRES a fenced backyard
💤 Sleeping soundly in her crate and doing great with potty training!

Cookie is still learning that the world is a safe, happy place, but she’s getting there, one cuddle, one toy pile, and yes, one stolen sock at a time. She may start off shy, but once she trusts you, her love is all in, and it’s the kind that fills your home and your heart in the best way.

To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org
