Georgia, chihuahua and dachshund mix
Georgia is a lovable female chihuahua and dachshund mix in the care of My Way Home Dog Rescue.
Georgia likes to socialize; she's happy to keep company with other dogs! She already has all of her shots, and she's been spayed. She's already house-trained.
Notes from Georgia's caretakers:
Georgia is 2 to 3 years old and just shy of 15 pounds. She loves chewy toys, bones and stuffies. She is a happy, sweet, snuggly girl who wants nothing more than a family to love. Georgia has not been around kids or cats since coming into rescue, so she is untested in those circumstances.

Roy, pit bull terrier and retriever mix
Adorable Roy is a male pit bull terrier and retriever mix being kept at Oregon Humane Society.
His vaccinations are up to date, and he's been neutered. He's still working on being house-trained. There's no information on Roy's profile about how he does with children or other animals, so it's worth asking Oregon Humane Society directly.
Notes from Roy's friends:
Roy is two-and-a-half years old. He is eager to learn and a basic manners class may be just the right thing for him. He can be worried meeting new people, and some dogs make him nervous. Roy will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home as he can be slow to adjust to new environments and prefers to take things at his own pace. He is treat motivated! You can use treats to teach him new things.

Max is a unique 1-year-old dog who has only three legs, but he's really getting used to this whole tripod thing! He gets along well with other big dogs but does like to play rough. He's quite loving and affectionate with people and children who are gentle with him, but he doesn't like being around cats.
