Beautiful Tortoiseshell Kitty Needs Home

Meet Santana, a gorgeous young female who is a smoke and tortoiseshell short-hair kitty. Her fur is so plush and lovely, with an unusual white undercoat. If you brush her down, you will see the “tortie” colors; brush her up, and you see the white fur underneath. She is very unique in her coloring, but in spite of her striking colors and extremely sweet personality, Santana is often overlooked at adoption events.  Santana was rescued from a high-kill shelter in North Georgia by Angels Among Us Pet Rescue early this year and has been in foster care since then. No one knows why she was turned in to this rural shelter but she certainly is beautiful and has a winning personality.  She was obviously well-treated because she is loving and …

Mom-and-Son Dogs Need Forever Home

Allie and Sloan were found living under a bridge.

Sweet Allie and her son, Sloan, were found living underneath a county road bridge and were wet, cold and shivering. They had been abandoned by their owner, according to the county shelter officials. It was a terrifying experience for these two dogs, but even after being retrieved by animal control, their lives were still at risk. The county animal shelter was, like most such shelters are, too full and this mom and son were facing euthanization. Fortunately, Angels Among Us Pet Rescue heard about their desperate plight and rescued them. They are now safe and in a loving foster home ... but still need to find their forever home.   Allie is a small to medium sized black and brown lab-beagle mix, about 1 year old. Sloan is a border collie/lab/…

Chihuahua Mix Sisters Hoping To Stay Together

'Jimmie Lou' and 'Little Girl' need new home after elderly owner died.

"Jimmy Lou" and "Little Girl" were treasured household pets until their elderly owner died, leaving these little 6-year old Chihuahua/Fox Terrier mixes with no one to care for them. For a period of time, they were placed in a small fenced enclosure outside the deceased owner's home, and left there even in the rain and cold weather.  Angels Among Us Pet Rescue stepped in and were able to save these sweet little girls, along with their brother (who has since been adopted). Since that time, they have been in a loving foster home while waiting for their forever family. Both dogs weigh about 10 pounds, are quiet, well-mannered, walk well on a leash, and are very good with both kids and dogs. They are also used to cats (whom they generally …

Rescued, Polly Needs Her Own Family

Sweet 5-year-old beagle has had a sad life.

Polly is a sweet 5-year-old adult beagle who must have had a very sad life. Angels Among Us Pet Rescue first learned about her when she was in a shelter and was being treated for heartworm disease. Poor Polly acted like she had never had the slightest bit of attention or a kind word. Now she is in a foster home where for the first time in her life she is experiencing love, and she is in seventh heaven. She even has her own toys to play with.  Polly has big soft eyes and long floppy ears. Her foster mom says that she has her own vocabulary and can make the most incredible sounds when she is talking to you.  Polly is both crate-trained and house-trained. She does very well with the other dogs in the household, but gets a little too excited …
