Special event at Friendly Paws!

This Friday from 4–6 p.m. at Friendly Paws Pet Supplies and Grooming: join us to meet two very special boys: Benedict and Simon. These sweet brothers are being cared for by their wonderful volunteer foster, Chad Keller.


These little guys are the last of their litter still waiting for forever homes. They’re such cuties that we’re arranging this special event so everyone can meet them.


Come say hello and get some puppy cuddles—and meet these two incredible boys! You can read more about Benedict and Simon in the Athens Adoptables section below. 



Come meet them this Friday! 

Friends of the Shelter Dogs has a new website!

FOSD is such an incredible organization that does so much for our community, they deserve a website that reflects just how special they are—and their new site absolutely delivers! 


Show Friends of the Shelter Dogs some love and go check out their beautiful new website: www.fosdathens.com


You might see a few familiar faces, including former shelter dogs Peaches, Chunky Monkey, and Cleo.


And don’t forget to visit the shop! We love seeing our community support our local animal welfare organizations loud and proud!

Benedict & Simon

Benedict and Simon came to us as tiny babies this winter alongside their mom. They are the last two of their litter still waiting for their forever homes!


These sweet boys are playful, loving, and full of puppy charm. They would make wonderful companions and are ready to find families of their own. 


Gayle

Pretty girl Gayle has some really unique markings and adorable little white feet. She loves to explore and check everything out in her space. Gayle seems pretty chill and is about 1 year old. 


Bennie

Bennie is about 14 weeks old and is the brother to Violet and Jessie. They all survived PanLuek like champs but little Bennie does have a wobble now. It’s cute and it means he won’t jump up on your counters. Think of the names you could come up with weebles wobble but they don’t fall down.



He loves to be held, purrs when you look at him and loves toys.  


Violet

Oh my, Violet is sure to capture your heart. She fought Panluek and WON. She is 14 weeks old and purrs every chance she can get.


She and her siblings are full of kitten antics and Violet leads the pack, jumping onto high spaces and running around like the devil’s after her. She will meet you at the door, sleep with you if you let her (please let her) and follows you from room to room.


You can’t go wrong with Violet. She would love another kitten (maybe one of her siblings?) or a cat to play with and we think she would adjust to most any household with proper acclimation and introductions. 

Cain

Cain

Cain is our longest resident, and more than anything we want to see him find a home of his own. He’s safe and loved in a foster home, but still waiting for the forever family he’s never had.



When Cain first came to us, it was clear he hadn’t known much kindness. He had spent much of his life chained outside, without the comfort every dog deserves. 


Even then his loving, excited personality was waiting to shine. With time, care, and the support of his foster family, Cain has completely come into his own: he’s affectionate, eager, and full of life. He gets excited to see his people, leans in for attention, and has fully embraced the joys of indoor living (especially cozy blankets).


Cain would do best in a quiet home with no other animals, where he can truly relax and feel secure. He has so much love to give and has been waiting far too long for someone to give him a chance.


He has waited longer than any dog should. It’s his turn.
