Meet little Figi, a Pomeranian/Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix who is approximately 7 years old and weighs around 20 pounds. He is neutered, crate and house-trained, up-to-date on all his vetting and shots, is micro-chipped and ready to find a loving, forever family. Figi was found in a rural county animal shelter with another dog (female) who looked like his twin, but was a bit older. We aren't sure if they were related, or not. Little Figi was rescue by Angels Among Us Pet Rescue and a kind-hearted foster took him into her home. We don't know for sure, but it appears he might have …
Meet "Lisa Marie"! This Chihuahua mix is 1-2 years old and weighs in at 8 pounds of joy, fun and love! Lisa Marie is fully crate-trained, and has no issues with being crated. She is almost fully housebroken, but still does best when she has access to being taken out to potty during the day. This pup is great with other dogs, ignores her foster's kitty and although she is not aggressive at all, true to her breed, she is a "barker." Lisa Marie had a very rough start in life: she was literally saved from death row, was scheduled to be euthanized but saved at the last minute by Angels Among Us …

Rainy is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all his shots and vetting and is ready to find his forever home and family. Rainy has such a special story to tell. You see, this poor pup was used by someone to train another dog to fight. Precious Rainy is not a fighter at all - he's very loving and doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

This precious little girl who wants nothing more than …
Meet Gunther, a male German Shepherd/Corgi mix who is around 1 year old and weighs about 25 pounds. He may gain a bit more weight, but not much.

Meet "Jaffe," a male Hound-mix dog who is 4 to 5 years old and weighs approximately 78 pounds. This boy is a tad overweight right now, but his foster is helping him slim down a bit. The vet says ideally he should weigh about 60 pounds and he was obviously overfed by his previous owners. He is neutered, house and crate-trained, up-to-date on shots and vetting and is microchipped. Jaffe is good with non-reactive, easygoing dogs but he's not been around felines, so we don't know how he would react - most hound mixes find them fun to chase, so probably no kitties for his home. He adores humans…

Kirstie …
Meet Witteny – an American Pit Bull Terrier and a gorgeous girl who is 2 years old and weighs 55 pounds. As you can see from her pictures, this dog is gorgeous and has a personality and demeanor that matches her beautiful looks. Witteny was pulled from a high-kill Georgia shelter in June 2012. Due to her breed and the stigma surrounding it, she was listed as a "rescue only" dog. Witteny was slated to be put down at 4 p.m. the day she was saved (at 3:55 p.m.) by an Angels Among Us volunteer named Lynda who agreed to foster her and save her life that fateful day. When Lynda got this girl …

This is Bogart, a male white German Shepherd-mix dog, who weighs approximately 50 pounds and is a little over a year old. Bogart was found one Sunday afternoon in a rural shelter by one of the co-founders of Angels Among Us Pet Rescue. She was told he only had a few hours to live before the time scheduled to put thim down. She took him outside, to give him one more opportunity to feel the sun on his face, to romp and play and be free for a little while before his time would come to cross the rainbow bridge. Instead of running and playing, or even begging for the treats in her pocket, this …
