Default Atlanta Area All-Breed/Smallish Breed Rescues?

Hi All!

My step-sister in-law and her husband are thinking of getting a dog, but try as I might, they want something smaller than a GSD

They are interested in going the rescue/shelter route, and I'm strongly encouraging her to do the rescue route.

So, does anyone know of any good all breed or smaller breed rescues in the Atlanta area?

Yes...but...I don't know the name or website. I will email pupresq, I believe her brother/sil work with one and she once posted a link to it. I will try to get that for you.

This MIGHT be it: http://www.smalldoghumane.org/ I emailed pup, but know she's busy. They have fun names and cute descriptions which is what I remember from the website she posted.

Thanks Jean Yes, that's them. They're with small dog rescue and humane society.

http://www.smalldoghumane.org/

They seem to get a wide variety of dogs. Hope something works out!

I used to be a large dog only person but I've definitely been bitten by the small dog bug and will probably always have a blended family from here on out. Lots of awesome dogs out there and many that buck the negative small dog stereotypes.
