Circle of Friends Animal Society

Name: Lily
Age: 2 Years (as of September 2010)
Breed: Smooth Collie/Lab Mix
Gender: Female

I can’t say enough good things about Lily. She was picked up as a stray at Gwinnett County Animal Control, but it’s obvious she has lived with a family before. She came to us completely housetrained (she even waits by the door when she needs to go out!) and already knows basic commands. This girl is an absolute lovebug, and has never met a dog or person she didn’t like. When she met a baby at the dog park, she walked right up to the stroller and gently licked the baby’s arm- so adorable. She is great in her crate and doesn’t chew on anything she isn’t supposed to. She walks great on leash and has plenty of energy, but also settles down easily and is just as content cuddling with one of her foster moms on the couch. Lily would make an amazing pet for just about any lifestyle, and will be sure make one lucky family very happy!

• Name: Charleigh
• Age: 1-2 years
• Breed: Poodle mix
• Gender: Female

Charleigh was found at Grayson High School by a nice family who just had to help her. They took her in their home, gave her some love and a grooming session and out came a very cute unique looking poodle mix. She has a wonderful smile and personality for just being rescued. Plus she has the most interesting color pattern we have seen in some time. Her coat is marbled with champagne and silver colors. We believe Charleigh to be 1-2 years old. She is being fixed this week and will be UTD on vaccines before adoption. Charleigh is crate trained. She is very sweet and gentle; her very first time at adoptions a woman picked her up to give some love to a child with special needs, all she did was wag her tail and give gentle kisses. Can’t you just see her on your lap while you are watching your favorite TV shows?

Name: Colby
Age: 11 Months (as of August 2010)
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Gender: Male

Colby is a young athletic Australian shepherd mix. He weighs around 40 pounds and is a gorgeous blue merle color. We pulled him from Habersham County Animal Control on his very last day he had there. He was soon thereafter diagnosed with canine influenza and took almost a month to recover from it. He is healthy now and looking for a new home. He loves to chase toys and cuddle on the couch. He gets along with other dogs and loves playing with them. He knows basic commands and he is potty and crate trained. He would make a fantastic agility or fly ball dog, but would also make a great family pet.

• Name: Willow
• Age: around 1 year
• Breed: Retriever mix
• Gender: Female

Willow is a very sweet girl. She was dumped at a vet office when her skin condition required medical attention to be cured. Willow was almost completely bald from demodectic mange and the vet didn’t have the heart to euthanize such a sweetheart for a common, treatable condition. The vet gave her treatment dips and all of her fur has returned, thick and soft. She is quite the cutie now, and loves people and other dogs. At first Willow was nervous and had lots of energy in her foster home, but with simply a regular routine and some stability she has become a wonderful little dog. She loves her crate and will happily trot inside and curl up for a nap. Willow is likely a retriever mix of sorts and weighs about 30lbs. She is the perfect size for just about any home and would do wonderfully with a family of her own.

• Name: Shiloh
• Age: 10 months (as of 8/2010)
• Breed: Retriever mix
• Gender: Male

Shiloh is a fun-loving, medium-sized retriever mix. He is smaller than a Golden, weighing about 30lbs. Shiloh came to us from his owner who could no longer care for him. Shiloh arrived to COFAS extremely nervous, with a high energy level and no knowledge of how to release that nervous energy. He has begun to calm down and act more like a normal dog, but he will definitely need to go to a home willing to give him lots of daily exercise. Shiloh is still a puppy at under a year old, so he will likely calm down with age and maturity, too. Shiloh loves people and needs a calming, quiet owner to act as a leader for him. With a proper household and stable routine, Shiloh will become more comfortable, and with regular exercise he will become a calmer companion, too. If you’re looking for a running buddy and affectionate friend, ask about meeting Shiloh today!

Name: Noah
Age: 1 Year
Breed: Border Collie Mix
Gender: Male

Noah is a one-year-old border collie who was pulled from Walton Animal Control after spending about two weeks there. He was a staff favorite there. Noah at the shelter was very shy and nervous. He is still very skittish around new people though he is starting to come out of his shell with the more time he spends around strangers. He has never shown any aggression with strangers he would just prefer to avoid them. He simply needs a confidence boost. However once he gets to know you he LOVES you. He is completely attached to his foster mom, wanting to play whenever he gets the chance. Sometimes he gets so excited about it he just bounces in place. Noah is much more outgoing when it comes to other dogs. He absolutely adores other dogs and loves to play. He is still very much a puppy at heart with the funniest antics. Noah is working on his basic obedience and being such a smart breed he should catch on quickly. If introduced properly and given enough time Noah would probably do well with children. He might be very nervous at first but eventually would probably love playing with them. Noah is an amazing dog who loves life.
