Wiley is a four month old, 42 pound Lab / Great Pyrenes mix that was confiscated from a property along with his brother, Ridge. While they came from a somewhat feral situation, he is very social with people and dogs, seems very confident and outgoing, and likely will make a great companion. He is a large puppy and will probably be an 80-90 pound dog, and will do best with a fenced yard.

🐾 A second chance. A story still being written. ❤️ When ALR rescued Emma Bella in April 2025, she was emaciated, could barely walk, and wasn’t expected to have much time left. But hospice fosters Michael and Katherine Kuring welcomed her into their home and gave her comfort, dignity, and love. With nourishing meals, a soft bed, and gentle walks to the mailbox, Emma regained her strength—and her tail began wagging again! Last year, she joined us as Race Marshal, a beautiful reminder of why second chances matter. This year, she’s still here, still loved, and returning as our Race Marshal for the SECOND year in a row! ❤️ Thank you, Michael and Katherine, for making every day count for this special girl. Come celebrate Emma Bella at the 12th Annual Atlanta Lab Rescue 5K on Sunday, November 15! 🐶 #atlantalabrescue #alr5k #atlanta #georgia #peachtreeroadrace 🐾 Sign up: https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Atlanta/AtlantaLabRescue

She was hanging out with another dog, that we also have, but we weren’t sure if they were from the same home or just met each other on the journey.

She’s the perfect size and perfect demeanor that will fit in anywhere. If you would like to foster to adopt Priscilla or just help by fostering, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com to fill out an application. Priscilla will be at the Adoption Day on Sunday, 10/4 from 1-3 at Doguroo - 1456 Northside Drive in Atlanta. #atlanta #atlantalabrescue #georgia #labradoretriever

Clancey is a two year old, 65 pound lab mix that was rescued from a shelter in TX, and then surrendered to a shelter here is GA because the other dogs in the house were not accepting of him. The owner said that he is good with other dogs, was kept as an inside dog, and was great in the house. He is very happy and smart and knows commands like sit, off, potty, no, and let’s go. He has been a great “guest” since we have had him and we think he’s one of our better dogs.

When six year old Bert, was taken to a shelter by his owner on 7/22, he was described as healthy, “good with other dogs, friendly, playful, curious, smart - and loves toys.” On Friday, one of our volunteers sent his info to us and indicated that he had become sick and was on the list to be euthanized. Fast forward to today, and he’s in an emergency clinic, where he has been all week, literally fighting for his life, with a vicious strain of pneumonia that he got while in the shelter. We’re committed to this wonderful dog, and will pull out all of the stops to save him, but we need your help with the vet bills which continues to climb, and prayers from all the “warriors” who post to our page. Everyone who has transported, donated, shared his info to friends, and taken chicken nuggets to the vet (anything to try to get him to eat) has fallen in love with this beautiful boy . Three weeks ago, Bert was perfectly healthy, and in a home where he’s been since he was a puppy. Now he’s in yet another strange place with IV’s and oxygen tubes in him, and struggling to breathe. We understand that some circumstances can’t be avoided, but shelters should be a LAST resort, yet so many people think nothing of dropping their dog off there. Shelters are not “doggy concierges.” They are more often than not, a horrible dead end. We’re doing everything we can to help, and took in 27 dogs in the last 10 days. It’s a lot of work, and a lot of logistics, and it takes a lot of money. We have so many wonderful supporters that keep the ball rolling on a daily bases, and make so much possible, but occasionally we get in over our head, so we are asking if you can share and donate on the link below, or you can donate a number of ways on the website at www.atlantalabrescue.com Let’s bring Bert home! #savebert #atlanta #atlantalabrescue #georgia #labradorlove

Mario is a two year old, 70 pound Great Pyrenes mix that was surrendered to a shelter with another dog that got adopted. The foster says that he is a gentle soul and very sweet and calm, especially for his age. He loves people, is good with other dogs, is house trained, and good on a leash. Although he is crate trained, they found that he does not need to be crated and is a perfect gentleman in the house. He was very frightened at first but is settling in well and gaining confidence each day. If you would like to foster to adopt Mario, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com to fill out an application. Mario will be at the Adoption Day this Sunday, 8/9 from 1-3 at PetSmart in Buckhead - 3221 Peachtree Rd. #atlanta #atlantalabrescue #georgia #petsmart #adoptdontshop

They said that he crate trained and goes right in when asked, housetrained, loves toys and bones, and will entertain himself. He also knows a few commands. He’s very food motivated, so easy to train. He has been recuperating from kennel cough, but seems good with other dogs when they have passed on walks. He’s gentle on a leash, lets them harness him easily, and likes his walks.

Our senior boy, Wes, who was returned after 8 years, heads out for a new foster, while his current foster is on vacation. Thankful for fosters that make these transitions infinitely easier, especially for dogs like Wes. Wish more people would consider the impact they could have on these dogs that have had their world turned upside down and trying to figure it all out.

Rayna is an eleven year old, 63 pound mix that was found wandering with a senior black lab and taken to a shelter. We found out about her when we took the lab, which was healthy when he was turned into the shelter, but got too much vetting too quickly, tanking his immunity, and leaving him vulnerable to kennel cough, which ultimately turned into pneumonia, and took his life. Rayna was on our list to rescue because we didn’t want to leave her behind, and then found out she was adopted from that same shelter back in 2015. We had an offer to foster her, and she is doing very well there. The foster says she is friendly with people and other dogs, great in the house and a wonderfully easy and well-behaved dog, that seems to be healthy, and gets around great. Rayna deserves much better than what life has given her, and we have promised her that this time around, we’ll find a real forever home.

He’s in great shape, takes stairs easily, and has no health issues or medications. He has lived with cats and other dogs. He is good with other dogs if properly introduced.

Francis is a three year old, 70 pound lab mix that was dumped in a shelter in S GA by her owner because she was pregnant (seems to be a theme lately).

Such a sad story for such a sweet and cute girl. She is calm and clean in her kennel, good with people and other dogs. Queen deserved so much better and we hope to give her better the next time around. If you would like to foster to adopt Queen, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com to fill out an application. Queen will be at the Adoption Day this Sunday, 4/12 from 1-3 at PetSmart in Buckhead - 3221 Peachtree Rd. #atlanta #atlantalabrescue #georgia #labradorretreiver
