Check out the Cobb Crew! Adopt a Senior!
It has been a particularly brutal summer as it pertains to owners dumping their dogs in shelters and we have been 10-20 dogs over our usual maximum capacity. That being said, these three seniors have been at the shelter in Cobb County for many weeks and the likely won’t be able to hold them much longer, so we thought a little marketing might catch someone’s eye and these 3 could be saved.
The yellow one is Annabelle and she is 10 years old and 54 pounds, The chocolate is Duke, who is 13 years old and 82 pounds. The black one is Bear who is 10 years old and 49 pounds. All are from the same home and all are vetted, spayed and neutered and heartworm free. They are low key, even lower maintenance and fine with other dogs and people.
They have several lumps and bumps on them which are very likely benign lipomas that most labs get and even if not, at their age you would be hard pressed to want to do surgery. ALR would be willing to get these dogs out of the shelter and make them permanent fosters, covering future vetting and preventatives if needed, if someone would take them home and let them live their lives out in peace.
If you can help please email us at info@atlantalabrescue.com . We appreciate anyone who wants to help, but please only email if you think you have a viable solution for them.
I need Rudy Do you adopt to WI?
Hello! We do consider out of state applicants however we do not transport dogs. Therefore, you would need to first apply and be interviewed, then we would need to contact references, have a home check completed and match you with the right dog for your situation. If you feel this would be feasible, please feel free to complete an application from our website, pay the application fee and then an adoption coordinator will be in touch with you.
Thank you!
Did the 3 senior labs get from the Cobb shelter get adopted or in Foster? I am interested in permanent foster for all 3. Have ample space in my home and a fenced yard too.
Hello and thank you for your inquiry. If the dogs are listed on our website, it is likely they are still available. If they are not listed, they’ve been adopted. If you are are interested in becoming a foster, please complete the Foster Application on our website and we’ll be in touch with you.
Thank you.
