A New Chapter Begins. Horses thriving. 🐴❤️

Our Animal Cruelty Investigator spent months working the case involving Sonny and Bullseye, two horses found suffering from severe neglect and in life-threatening condition.

The investigation has now been resolved, and we can share the ending everyone hoped to see.

Thanks to the dedicated care provided by Breezy Meadow Horse Rescue, Sonny and Bullseye have made a remarkable recovery. Today, they are healthy, happy and living their best lives.

This outcome represents months of determined investigative work, intensive care and people who refused to give up on them.

To our investigator, the rescue team and everyone who helped give Sonny and Bullseye the future they deserved: thank you.

Meet Chacey and his best friend, Coco! This bonded pair was sadly surrendered to the shelter on 8/5 when their family moved and couldn't take them along. Their former family shared that both boys are good with children and other dogs. Chacey and Coco are friendly but a little shy at first. With a little time, patience, and love, we're sure they'll settle into a forever home and let their wonderful personalities shine. Could you be the one to keep these best friends together?

Chacey is approximately 4 years old and weighs 56 lbs. He is UTD on vaccines and will be neutered and microchipped upon adoption. Unfortunately, Chacey did test positive for heartworms, but with proper treatment and care he can go on to live a long and healthy life. Please speak with shelter staff about the option of fostering to adopt while he receives treatment. Please come meet Chacey in kennel 801; his ID # is 21435.

Tank - ID # 21437 - Kennel #76 - Arrived August 5th - English Staffordshire Bull Terrier/American Bulldog Mix - Tri Color - Male - 3 Years 4 Months Old - 64 lbs - Will Be Neutered Prior to Adoption - Up to Date on Vaccines - Heartworm Negative - House Trained - Crate Trained - Dog Friendly - Good with Children

Tank is a big teddy bear of a dog, with a striking tri color coat, soft brown eyes, and a broad, gentle face that gives him an instantly endearing look. He arrived at Cobb Animal Services on August 5th after his previous owners were no longer able to keep him due to frequent travel. At 3 years old, this good-looking guy is right in the prime of his life.

Tank is a little on the shy side, staying quiet and calm in his kennel, but he already knows how to sit, showing a good foundation of training and a willingness to connect. His gentle, teddy bear presence makes it easy to imagine him settling comfortably into a home environment once given the chance to relax.

He is house trained, crate trained, dog friendly, and good with children, having previously lived alongside a 14 year old in his past home. His compatibility with cats is unknown, so a slow, supervised introduction would be the best approach for households with feline family members.

Tank also has a significant chicken allergy, so his new family will need to be mindful of his diet and avoid chicken-based foods and treats. With a little care around mealtime, this is a very manageable part of his routine.

Tank is waiting in Kennel #76 with that big teddy bear look and gentle spirit, ready for the patient home where he can settle in, relax, and show the world the sweet boy he truly is.

Shelby is a beautiful and petite 2 year old shepherd mix that was brought to the shelter on 7/30 and is absolutely terrified. It is just so loud and scary for her. She is hoping to find her forever home and get out of this cage! She may be frightened but she is so very sweet. She is up to date on her vaccinations but is heartworm positive. This is highly treatable by the shelter! She will be spayed and microchipped upon adoption. This sweet girl is only 33lbs, a great size. She also sits when asked. Come meet this adorable girl in kennel 314, her ID is 21281.

Jett - ID # 21192 - Kennel #52 - Arrived July 27th - American Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever Mix - Black and White - Male - 1 Year 2 Months Old - 45 lbs (estimated adult weight 50-60 lbs) - Neutered - Up to Date on Vaccines - Heartworm Negative

Jett is a cute black and white boy with a crisp white blaze down his face, warm brown eyes, and a big, friendly smile that lights up the moment he sees a familiar face. He was found as a lost dog wearing identification and arrived at Cobb Animal Services on July 27th. At just over a year old, this good-looking guy still has a little filling out to do before reaching his estimated adult weight of 50 to 60 pounds.

Jett is sweet and playful, with an easygoing energy that makes him a joy to be around. He knows sit when asked, showing off a solid foundation of training, and he is good on a leash, making him a pleasant, well-mannered companion for walks and outings. That combination of playfulness and good behavior is exactly the kind of balance many adopters hope to find in a young dog.

At just over a year old, Jett is at a wonderful stage of life, still playful and full of energy while carrying himself with good manners and a genuinely sweet disposition. He has so much of his life still ahead of him, along with plenty of love and playfulness to share with a family of his own.

Jett is waiting in Kennel #52 with that sweet smile and playful spirit, ready for the home and the family who will give him the loving future he deserves.

Belvedere is approximately 4 years old and is a medium-sized dog. He is UTD on vaccines and will be neutered and microchipped upon adoption.
