Hi, my family and I just moved to Smyrna and we are looking to adopt a dog. I've looked around on the internet, but I was wondering if anyone out there had specific experiences with some of the shelters in the area. We do not want to adopt a dog from a shelter that has a bad reputation of treating their animals poorly. Any other dog lovers out there?

I've adopted from Atlanta Pet Rescue before and they are just wonderful.

I received an email from a friend today who works with a veterinarian - someone dropped a puppy off at their office that they are trying to find a home for (I think it is a lab). I'd be happy to forward that on to you if you'd PM me your info. I don't know much about the veterinarian so I can't give a personal recommendation.

There's a lot of rescue groups. Check at Petsmart and Petco stores in your area. It may take a while to find the right one for you, but there are so many out there.

I've got an 8-month old Boston Terrier/Beagle mix up for adoption if you're interested.

There was just a big story in the local news about a puppy mill that was seized. Here is the link - 130 Dogs Seized From Cumming Puppy Mill - 11Alive.com | WXIA | Atlanta, GA

It has two contact numbers at the bottom of the article. Plenty of puppies there that need homes, and they are all supposed to be pure breeds if that matters.

Since the OP is in Smyrna, the Cobb County shelter is not too far from them. We adopted our cat from there, as a kitten.

Definitely the Cobb Co. Shelter, it is a kill-shelter, usually 7 days from the date they are brought in. Got my terrier mix there. It is run by the inmates at the correctional facility and although it is their "job", they are not always the best care-givers.
