Sit! Stay! Speak!

Atlanta’s Small Dog Rescue and Humane Society matches little foster dogs with new owners in the North Metro Atlanta area. The group holds public adoption days, and these should always be confirmed on their web site before visiting the adoption meeting site.

Fosters live with volunteers. Interested adopters can meet the dogs every Saturday from noon till 4:00 PM, in front of the Petco at 5938 Roswell Road N.E., Atlanta, GA 30328.

Small Dog Rescue’s number is 404-705-PAWS. It is voice mail only and shouldn’t be relied upon for up to the minute responses.

Current adoptable small dogs include a Batang, a Bichon Frise / Maltese, Burt Lancaster, a Pug / Chihuahua, Gus Golden Grahams, a Dachsund / Corgi, Jacob Marley, a Pomeranian mix, Justice, a Lhasa Apso mix, Kitchi, a Pug mix, Scottie Starfruit, a pure Shih Tzu, and many, many more.

What a great find - The Small Dog Forum! Not only does this board have some meaty little dog talk, it’s also got a fabulous collection of little dog blogs. Here you’ll meet Bailey, a Maltese puppy and Cody and  Alaska, two more Maltese dogs. You’ll find The Adventures of Marley McButters, a very cute blog about the Maltese Marley. How about Buddy and the Adventures of a Hungry Dog? This Bichon-Frise is waiting to melt your heart. You must be the Lhasa Apso Simba which is unbearably sweet munchkin face.
