Meet Bruno! Say hello to Bruno, an adorable 3-month-old Basset Hound mix puppy looking for a family to call his own! Bruno is a sweet, social little guy with all the lovable qualities you would expect from a typical puppy. Bruno gets along well with other dogs and is good with kids, making him a wonderful candidate for a family looking to welcome a puppy into their lives. He is also learning about cats and discovering how to navigate the world around him. Bruno is still a young pup, so he is working on his house training and will need a family willing to provide the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement that puppies need as they grow. With love and guidance, he has plenty of time to learn and develop into a wonderful companion. If you are ready for puppy adventures, plenty of growing, and the joy of watching a young dog become part of your family, Bruno would love the chance to meet you! Interested in adopting Bruno?

🐾 **Meet Whidbey!** Whidbey is still looking for his forever home! He came to Fayette Humane Society from a feral colony along with his friend Tulaylip (Tula). He's currently in foster care with Tula and Rhodri, who came from another colony. Whidbey is easy to medicate and is a lap kitty. He's finished with his medications. But every cat at some point in their life will need to see a vet or take meds. He's easy. he knows the drill. But he most likely will never have to be treated for FIP again. Whidbey was treated for **Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)** with **GS-441524**, an antiviral medication that is now considered a first-line standard of care for FIP. Treatment is much simpler than it used to be, with an easy-to-administer, palatable oral medication that can often be given just once daily. Whidbey has completed his treatment, is doing well, and is ready for a family to call his own! If you're interested in adopting Whidbey, please contact Fayette Humane Society.

Meet Dingo! Dingo is a 4-year-old, 45-pound adventure buddy with a huge personality and an even bigger heart! Her DNA test says she’s a mix of Pit Bull, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Great Dane, and a little bit of “super mutt” magic — and honestly, it fits her perfectly. This girl is the life of every party! We have yet to meet a dog, cat, kid, or adult that Dingo doesn’t instantly adore. She’s playful, social, goofy, and absolutely loves being part of the action. Whether she’s splashing in the water, running trails, chasing toys, or making new friends, Dingo is happiest when she’s busy and included. She’s also the total package when it comes to manners: 🐾 Housebroken 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Off-leash trained 🐾 Rides wonderfully in the car 🐾 Quiet in her kennel and calm in the house Dingo would thrive in an active home that enjoys hiking, running, camping, swimming, or other outdoor adventures. She needs plenty of mental and physical stimulation and would love a family who wants a dog to truly share life with. If you’re looking for a couch potato, Dingo probably isn’t your girl — but if you want a fun-loving sidekick who’s always ready for the next adventure, she’s perfect. After a full day of fun, Dingo is more than happy to relax and cuddle up with her people for the evening. If you are interested in adopting Dingo, please fill out an application at: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog Applications can take 5–7 business days to process. Please check for a confirmation email after submitting your application, and remember to check your spam or trash folders since communication is sent through email. We are a foster-based rescue located in Fayette County, GA and do not have a shelter building.

Meet Cricket — sweet to her core and enough energy to recharge a battery. She needs lots of love and even more attention! She loves to play and enjoys the outdoors like it’s her home. Gets along well with people and other animals - she’s a true social butterfly. So, if you already have another dog then this would be a good fit, she needs company so the more the merrier! Ideally, she needs to have a stay at home parent or someone that can be with her regularly, as she does have severe separation anxiety. Cricket needs someone with a lot patience, love and that can provide her with good training. She’s still just a growing pup, so she’s in the process of learning now. Smart girl and is very capable of training, but like most pups she needs to get out her chewies and her zoomies! She truly is a sweetheart and will lick you until you actually tell her to stop. Her playful nature is so fun to be around and she loves any kind of dog toy and chewing on her bones. At the end of the day, she loves to curl up next to you, on you, or at your feet. As long as she is close by, she will be flexing that big joyful smile of hers! Cricket is eight months old and probably a mixture of a few different breeds! If you are interested in adopting Cricket, please fill out an application at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog **Applications can take anywhere from 5-7 business days to complete. When filling out an application, please check for a confirmation email to be sure that your application went through. We respond by email, so please check your spam and trash folders.

Meet Penny! Penny is a happy, energetic little girl who is ready to leave her rough start behind and find a family of her own. Penny and her siblings were abandoned together on a dirt road, so we don’t know their history or exactly what breeds they are. We believe they are around 8 months old. They were very small when they came to us and may have been malnourished for an extended period of time, but they are steadily gaining weight and making great progress. Penny currently weighs about 22 pounds. We expect her to mature to around 30–35 pounds, although because her breed and history are unknown, she may ultimately stay smaller. Penny is full of energy and loves to run, play, and have fun. She loves toys, treats, and other dogs, and she is good with kids. She is also a very smart girl who catches on quickly when she’s learning something new. One thing Penny is still working on is her enthusiasm for people — she tends to jump when she gets excited. She’s learning that all four feet belong on the floor, and her intelligence should make her a quick study. Penny does have a fairly high prey drive and wants to chase the cat whenever she sees him, so a home without cats would likely be the best fit for her. She and her siblings have made great progress with house training, and she is continuing to learn and grow into the wonderful young dog she is meant to be. If you’re looking for an active, playful, smart young dog who will keep you laughing and on your toes, Penny is ready to meet you! If you are interested in adopting Penny, please fill out an application at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog **Applications can take anywhere from 5-7 business days to complete. When filling out an application, please check for a confirmation email to be sure that your application went through. We respond by email, so please check your spam and trash folders. If you need to reach us regarding your application, the best way to contact us is through email.** We are located in Fayette County, GA and are a foster based rescue without a shelter building.

Meet Cotton! Cotton is a tiny 12–13-week-old Chihuahua mix with a brave little heart, a curious mind and an impressive talent for turning just about anything into an adventure! Her mom is a wirehaired Chihuahua mix and her dad is a longhaired Chihuahua mix. Cotton is currently only about 5 pounds and is expected to stay petite, likely around 12–15 pounds or less when fully grown. Of the sisters, Cotton is definitely the little explorer! She’s eager to meet people, loves other dogs and is much more willing to jump right into a new adventure. While her sisters may need a little encouragement around bigger dogs, Cotton is ready to make friends. But this brave little girl has a soft side, too. After she’s finished exploring and playing, Cotton loves curling up next to her person for a cozy puppy nap. She gives the sweetest kisses and is already learning that “no” means no. Cotton sleeps through the night in her crate but is still working on potty training. Like her siblings, she can be frightened by loud noises such as thunderstorms and garbage trucks. She hasn’t been around cats or young children yet, so we think older, respectful children would be the best fit. With proper introductions, we believe she could learn to adapt to a cat. Cotton may be tiny, but she’s got confidence, curiosity and plenty of personality packed into those five little pounds! 📍 Fayette County, GA We are a foster-based rescue without a shelter building. All of our dogs are cared for in volunteer foster homes. Interested in adopting Cotton? Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog Applications generally take 5–7 business days to process. Please watch your email for confirmation that your application went through, and check your spam and trash folders for our response. Email is the best way to contact us regarding an application.

🤍 Meet Dixie! 🤍 Dixie is a precious 12–13-week-old Chihuahua mix who may need a little time to decide that you’re her person, but once she does, you’re going to have one very loving little companion. Her mom is a wirehaired Chihuahua mix and her dad is a longhaired Chihuahua mix. Dixie is currently only about 5 pounds and is expected to stay a tiny girl, likely around 12–15 pounds or less when fully grown. Dixie is the gentle, tender-hearted sister. She can be reserved and scared when meeting strangers, and medium and large dogs are especially frightening to her right now. If a bigger dog gets too close, she may scream and try to get away. She will need a family who understands that confidence takes time and is willing to let her come out of her shell at her own pace. Once she feels comfortable, Dixie is incredibly sweet and loving. ❤️ She sleeps through the night in her crate but is still working on potty training. She’s also sensitive to loud noises like thunderstorms and garbage trucks. Dixie hasn’t been around cats or young children yet, so we think an older-child home would be the best fit. If there is another dog in her future home, slow and thoughtful introductions will be important. This little girl doesn’t need someone looking for an instant social butterfly. She needs someone who will patiently show her that the world isn’t so scary—and in return, she’ll give you all the love she has. 📍 Fayette County, GA We are a foster-based rescue without a shelter building. All of our dogs are cared for in volunteer foster homes. Interested in adopting Dixie? Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog Applications generally take 5–7 business days to process. Please watch your email for confirmation that your application went through, and check your spam and trash folders for our response. Email is the best way to contact us regarding an application.

🐾 Meet Montgomery! 🐾 At just 3.5 pounds, Monty may be tiny… but he has NO idea that he’s supposed to act like it! Montgomery is a 12-week-old Chihuahua mix with a huge personality and an adventurous little spirit. His mom is a wirehaired Chihuahua mix and his dad is a longhaired Chihuahua mix. We expect him to stay small, likely around 12–15 pounds or less when fully grown. Monty is happiest when he’s busy! He loves exploring outside, finding the perfect stick, chewing on his toys and wrestling with his doggy friends. He’s curious, playful and independent, and he’s perfectly happy doing his own thing when he’s not busy causing puppy-level mischief. If you’re looking for a little lap dog who wants to cuddle all day, Monty probably isn’t your guy. He’s more interested in PLAY TIME than lap time — but his silly personality will keep you laughing. Monty is still learning puppy manners and sometimes gets a little mouthy when he’s excited, so he would do best with adults or older children who understand that puppies need guidance while they learn appropriate play. He sleeps through the night in his crate and is doing well with his crate routine, but he’s still working on potty training. He loves other dogs and would enjoy a canine companion who is ready to play! Like his siblings, he’s also sensitive to loud noises such as thunderstorms and garbage trucks. He hasn’t been around cats yet. Tiny body. BIG personality. Endless puppy antics. 📍 Fayette County, GA We are a foster-based rescue with no shelter building, so our dogs are cared for in volunteer foster homes. Interested in adopting Monty? Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog Applications can take approximately 5–7 business days to process. Please watch your email for confirmation that your application went through and check spam/trash folders for our response. Email is the best way to contact us about an application.

🌸 Meet Camellia! 🌸 Camellia is a tiny 12–13-week-old Chihuahua mix with the sweetest little face and a personality that is still blooming! Her mom is a wirehaired Chihuahua mix and her dad is a longhaired Chihuahua mix. Camellia is currently only about 5 pounds, and we expect her to stay petite, likely around 12–15 pounds or less when fully grown. This little girl is affectionate and loves giving kisses… although she sometimes likes to sneak a tiny nibble in with them! 😂 She can be a little shy when meeting new people and is especially nervous around medium and large dogs. Bigger dogs can be overwhelming for her right now, and she may scream and try to run away when she feels frightened. Camellia will need a patient family who can help her build confidence at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality really starts to shine. She sleeps through the night in her crate but is still working on potty training. Like her siblings, she is also sensitive to loud noises such as thunderstorms and garbage trucks. She hasn’t been around cats, so we don’t know how she’ll do with them yet. She hasn’t been around young children either, so we think older, respectful children would be the best fit. Camellia is just a tiny baby learning about this big world. She’ll need someone willing to give her reassurance, patience and lots of love while she discovers how wonderful life can be. ❤️ 📍 Fayette County, GA We are a foster-based rescue without a shelter building. All of our dogs are cared for in volunteer foster homes. Interested in adopting Camellia?

Pepperoni and Mariana are still waiting for someone to choose them. Week after week, they come to adoptions, watch other cats go home, and somehow get overlooked. They are sweet, deserving cats who have been waiting far too long for their chance. They don’t need anything fancy — just someone willing to stop, notice them, and give them a home of their own. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, this mother and son pair would be a great addition to your family!

Patrick is an older cat whose people passed away. He was later found by a TNVR volunteer in another county. His microchip brought him back to us. At his age, Patrick shouldn’t have to start over, but that’s where he is. We’re hoping to find him a stable, loving home with someone who appreciates senior cats and can give him the security he deserves. If you’re interested in adopting Patrick, please reach out. If you can’t adopt, sharing his post may help us find the right person for him.

Meet Boo! If you’re looking for a fun-loving, intelligent, active adventure buddy, Boo may be your girl! Boo is a 2.5-year-old Border Collie weighing around 35 pounds, and she is everything you’d expect from this amazing breed. She is incredibly smart, very people-oriented, silly, affectionate, and ALWAYS ready to play. Boo absolutely LOVES toys. In fact, you’ll almost always find her carrying a toy around whenever one is available. Toys are her love language, and she would happily play with you for hours! She is crate trained, house broken, and wonderful with other dogs of all sizes. She loves everyone she meets and has a genuinely sweet, loving personality. But let’s be honest: Boo is a Border Collie, and she is not looking for a life of lounging on the couch all day. She needs a family that understands that her brilliant mind and energetic body need an outlet. She would thrive with someone who wants a dog to hike with, run with, play with, swim with, explore with, and keep mentally stimulated. After a day of adventures, Boo is more than happy to settle in with her people and enjoy the love and security of a home of her own. Boo is looking for an active companion home that will give her plenty of opportunities to use her energy and intelligence while also giving her the safe, loving place to rest her head at night that she deserves. If you’re ready for a silly, smart, toy-loving Border Collie who wants to be your best friend and your adventure partner, Boo is ready to meet you! If you are interested in adopting Boo, please fill out an application at: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog Applications can take anywhere from 5–7 business days to complete.

🐾 This little room means everything to our cats. 🐾 This is one of the cats currently staying in the Fayette Humane Society cat care room at PetSmart in Peachtree City, waiting for someone to stop, notice them, and take them home. Fayette Humane Society is 100% foster based — we don’t have a shelter or building. This is our only cat care room and our only PetSmart adoption location, so every space here is incredibly important. And right now, adoptions have been slow. When one of these cats is adopted, it doesn’t just change that cat’s life. It opens a space for another foster cat to come to the store and have a better chance of being seen and adopted too. ❤️ Help us make their stay here worth it. Stop by PetSmart in Peachtree City, visit the cats, share their photos, tell a friend — and if one of them feels like yours, please consider adopting. Every adoption opens the door for another cat who is waiting. 📍 PetSmart – Peachtree City 🐱 Fayette Humane Society 🏡 Foster based. No shelter. Just cats waiting for homes. Please share. Their families may be one share away. to adopt go to https://fayettehumane.org/adopt/adopt-a-cat/

Meet Pearl! Pearl is a gentle, sweet girl who may need a little time to trust you, but once she does, you’ll see what a happy little soul she really is. Pearl and her siblings were abandoned together on a dirt road. We don’t know anything about their history or exactly what breeds they are. We believe they are around 7 months old, and they may have been malnourished for quite some time. They are slowly gaining weight and getting healthier, and Pearl is making wonderful progress as she learns that she is safe. Pearl currently weighs about 21 pounds. We expect her to mature to approximately 30–35 pounds, although with her unknown breed mix and history, she may ultimately remain smaller. Pearl is a timid girl who can be unsure of new people and new experiences at first. Once she warms up to you, though, she transforms into such a happy girl. She loves treats, being petted, and spending time with her people. Pearl especially enjoys going for walks and is surprisingly good on a leash. She has an adorable habit of looking up at you while you’re walking and waiting for you to give her a little nose boop. It’s one of her favorite things. She is wonderful with kids. She is terrified of cats, and while she is unsure around other dogs initially, she can warm up to them with time and patience. Pearl and her siblings have also made great progress with house training. Pearl is looking for a patient family who will give her the time she needs to feel safe and confident. In return, you’ll get to watch a sweet, timid girl blossom into the happy companion she was always meant to be. If you are interested in adopting Pearl, please fill out an application at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog **Applications can take anywhere from 5-7 business days to complete.

Meet Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a sweet little girl who may be small, but she has a big personality waiting to shine. Pumpkin and her siblings were abandoned together on a dirt road, so we don’t know much about their past or exactly what breeds make up these adorable girls. We believe they are around 7 months old, and they may have gone without proper nutrition for quite some time. Thankfully, they are slowly gaining weight and getting healthier every day. Pumpkin currently weighs about 15 pounds, and we expect her to mature to around 20–25 pounds. Because her breed and history are unknown, she may ultimately stay a little smaller. Pumpkin can be shy when she first meets you, but give her a little time and her playful side comes right out. She absolutely loves toys, especially squeaky ones, and she is very treat motivated. Once she feels comfortable, she loves being petted and showered with attention. She has been wonderful with kids and other dogs, and she is curious about cats. She’s still learning about the world around her, but she has already come such a long way. Pumpkin and her siblings have also made great progress with house training. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful little companion who just needs someone willing to give her a little time to blossom, Pumpkin may be your girl. If you are interested in adopting Pumpkin, please fill out an application at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FAY/Dog **Applications can take anywhere from 5-7 business days to complete.
