About this column:

Each week we'll feature a different animal available for adoption through the Society of Humane Friends in Lawrenceville.
Kira is a sweetheart of a little 10 pound poodle who needs a new forever home. Kira moved here from Bermuda with her previous owner, who loves her, but changes in her living arrangements do not allow for Kira. Poor Kira! We have committed to finding her the best possible home! Kira's foster mom tells us that Kira seems much younger than her eight years (eight is not really old for a poodle). She is lively and active and has a very sweet personality. Her favorite occupation, though, is to cuddle and be a lap dog. She loves to be close to you. Kira is housebroken, and newly groomed. This pretty…
Handsome Hank is a 4 year old hound mix who would like to meet you! He was rescued after coming in to Animal Control with an injured leg, which has now healed completely, and Hank is hale and hearty! Hank LOVES people, adults and kids alike, and gets along great with other dogs. He is housebroken, and his foster mom says that he has no bad habits. He weighs about 45 lbs. This gentle and trusting fella will make an excellent companion dog for some lucky person or family. If you would like to meet Hank, please let us know! Hank is fully vetted -- neutered, heartworm negative, and current on …
Jolie is a pretty little puppy with beautiful blue-green eyes. This sweet little girl and her sister Angelina were rescued from Animal Control where they came in as tiny strays. She was probably born around the middle of June, and is now ready to find her forever home. Jolie is sweet and and a bit timid (you can see by her eyes that the camera was a bit scary to her) and loves to play with her sister. Since we don't know anything about her parents, we are making an educated guess that she will be a medium sized dog when fully grown. We can tell that she will be a beauty! Jolie is looking for …
Mighty Mouse is here to save the day! Born around the first part of April, this adorable little Tabby was rescued, along with his mom and siblings, from a high kill shelter near Cartersville. His foster mom chose his name because he came to us looking like a kitten who was the size of a mouse! He has grown a bit now, and is doing great. He loves to run and play with his siblings at top speed. He is also very sweet and loves attention. This sweet fella will make a great pet for someone. If you would like to meet Mighty Mouse, and maybe add him to your family, please let us know! Mighty Mouse …
Say hello to Square, he is one of Jessie's pups. Born on May 31, Square and his ten siblings were rescued from Animal Control along with their mom when they were just a few days old. Momma Jessie has done a great job with her babies, and now Square is ready to meet the world. Playful and friendly, he loves to frolic with his brothers and sisters. Square is still a little guy, but will be a big boy when full grown, probably 50 pounds or so. He is looking for a home where his person or family has the time, patience and energy that all pups need to help him grow up to be a great dog. If you …
Callie is a very pretty Cattledog girl who would like to meet you. She is about a year old, and we think she may have a little Spitz in her makeup too. Callie came to us as a stray who was discovered and befriended by a good Samaritan, who has asked us to help find Callie a great home. She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home, but she does not like cats! Callie is friendly and energetic, and a bit shy at first. We have just realized that Callie is deaf. This was not obvious right away, because Callie gets along so well in spite of it. She is a great dog who may need a little…
Say hello to Spot. This adorable little guy was born around the first part of April, and is now ready to meet the world and find a great home! Spot is friendly and playful. His mom is mostly Aussie, but with very short legs, so maybe a little Doxie in there too. She is about 25 lbs (that's probably close to where Spot will top out). Spot's dad is a mystery dog, but we are thinking maybe Corgi. At any rate, Spot is 100 percent cute! He is looking for a home where his person or family has the time, patience and energy that all pups need to help him grow up to be a great dog. If you would like …
April is a lovely little grey tabby, one of Kay's kittens, who needs a wonderful home. Born around the first of May, this sweetie pie is now ready to meet the world. April's foster mom reports that she has a gentle and feminine disposition. She is a bit more timid than her four siblings, but she is curious and likes to observe the goings-on around her. She likes to be held, and especially likes a tummy rub! If you would like to meet this pretty girl, and maybe add her to your family, please let us know! April is fully vetted -- spayed, FELV/FIV negative, and current on vaccinations and …
Tipper is a sweet young fella who needs a great home. This handsome boy was rescued from a high kill shelter in Cartersville just as his time was running out. He is just short of a year old, and weighs about 27 lbs. He probably has a bit more growing to do. Tipper has the beautiful Catahoula markings, and a six inch, naturally docked tail. He has a sweet and soulful face. We think that Tipper may have been abused or neglected in his former life, as he was quite reserved and shy at first. He is now settling in nicely, and has a fine personality. One truly special thing about Tipper is that he …
Here's Max! He is a handsome 2 year old boy who is looking for his forever home. Max has velvety grey fur, and glowing eyes, he is quite the looker. His foster mom says that he is a very friendly fellow who is active and agile. Max will make a great kitty companion for most any family.

Rescued from a rural shelter, Goldie is about 7 months old, and weighs about 10 lbs, although she may have just a bit more growing to do, She is a wonderful combination of short legs, long body, and big ears, giving her a unique and appealing look.

Dixie Lee is a pretty little chihuahua who is looking for her forever home. She was rescued from Animal Control just in the nick of time, along with her four adorable newborns. Dixie has been a wonderful momma to her babies, and now it's her turn to be taken care of! Her foster mom tells us that she is about 4 years old, and very sweet and friendly. She gets along fine with the other dogs in her foster home, and is great with the 3 year old child in the home. She is crate trained, and almost totally housebroken. This sweet gal will make a great addition to some lucky home. If you would like …
Meet Max! He is one of Dixie Lee's pups, and he would like to meet you! Max was born around the end of March, and at 10 weeks old, he is ready to see the world. Max's mom is a Chihuahua, and his dad is a mystery man! We are guessing Pomeranian, but that is a guess. We believe he will be a small to medium size when full grown. At any rate, Max and his siblings are purebred cute! He is sweet and full of fun, and loves playing with his sistes and brothers. Max is looking for a home where his person or family has the time, patience and energy that all pups need to help him grow up to be a great …
All right, Star Wars fans...Padme is a pretty, pretty princess who needs a forever home! This little lady is 10 weeks old and she currently weighs about 5 pounds. Her mom was 20 pounds, so Padme should be similar in size when she is full grown. Padme is the only pup in her litter who is sort of long and lean. Her siblings are all short and stocky! Padme has that wonderful, "scruffy" look that is so endearing. Her wiry, short hair is should be very easy to care for. This lovely little girl will make a great pet. She is playful, friendly and lots of fun! Padme is fully vetted -- spayed/neutered…
Sweet Sadie was found running along a busy highway. Thankfully, one of our volunteers found her before she wast hit by a car. Who knows how long she was out on her own? Sadie is approximately 1 year old, and she's still all puppy. She has a sweet nature and a very energetic disposition! She is coming along slowly but surely with leash training, and loves to go on long walks. Her energy level makes her a great candidate for a home with an active lifestyle, maybe with a person or family who jogs, power walks or hikes. Sadie would do fine as an only dog, or with a playmate. She would also be …
Little Miss "Poppy" is truly a firecracker! This incredibly adorable little lady is just too cute for words. Not only is she cute as a button, but she has a wonderfully sweet, happy personality. She never meets a stranger and her tail wags about 1000 times a minute! Poppy's mom weighed in at about 18 pounds, so we think Poppy will grow up to be similar in size. This is a very special pup, and we will only let her go to a very special home! If you think you have what it takes to be the lucky person/family to take this precious gal home, please contact us! Poppy is fully vetted -- spayed/…
Junie is a beautiful buff and grey Calico kitten, part of our "J" litter. Junie's momma cat, who we thought to be previously spayed, turned out to be previously pregnant! Junie and her three siblings were born in our foster care in February and are now ready to find their forever homes. Junie's foster mom tells us that she is just full of energy! If you will let her, she will climb up your leg, and all the way to your shoulder, where she loves to sit. She was the biggest kitten in her litter, and has a great appetite. She may grow up to be just a bit bigger than her siblings. This pretty girl…
Franklin is very nice little tan and white Shih Tzu who would like to meet you. This poor little four year old fella was, incredibly, turned in to Animal Control by his previous owners. We have him safe with us now, and we're committed to finding Franklin a great home where he is appreciated for the good boy that he is. Understandably he's a little shy, but Franklin is quietly friendly. He gets along fine with the other dogs and cats in his foster home. He weighs about 12 lbs. He will make a great pet and companion for the person who has some love and TLC to offer him. If you are interested …
Say hello to Morley! He is a wonderful Lab mix boy who is looking for his forever home. Morley was born somewhere around the middle of January, and somehow ended up at Animal Control.

He is sweet and friendly, with lots of energy. Morley is looking for a home where his person or family has the time, patience and energy that all pups need to help him grow up to be a great dog. If you would like to meet …
