DECATUR, Ga. - If you dream of coming home to a wet nose, wagging tail and tons of kisses (in addition to, perhaps, a half chewed shoe or overturned trashcan) adopt a puppy from your local pet shelter. According to the ASPCA, approximately 5 million to 7 million domesticated animals enter animal shelters nationwide, every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized. However, you can change those numbers but adopting a "companion" for yourself or your family. Pets are an investment but, in our opinion, an investment well worth the money.

LJ is a young hound/retriever mix. This puppy is medium and he probably won’t get much larger than this. He’s looking for a “forever” home and wants someone can train him and to give him enough attention so he can become a disciplined dog. Right now, LJ is pretty rambunctious like most puppies. The humane society encourages you to bring you entire family out to meet LJ.

Melody is a medium, one year old, Retriever/Shepherd who came from a hoarder rescue that will be featured on a show on Animal Planet Channel. She was delivered to AHS in hopes of finding a permanent home. Melody needs to be trained and needs to be adopted by a family who is willing to spend time with me and train me to be a great adult dog.
