We went there two weeks ago, and there was an awesome male Pit Bull pup (about 10 mths old) needing a home. He was white with brown patches, and he had green eyes. He was housetrained, got along with kids, other dogs, and was leash-trained. He was such a super happy boy and LOVED playing ball.
Didn't have any visible health issues either. We just didn't want to take the chance bringing a male in with our existing male (Shepherd). I really hope he got adopted. I started a campaign for him among friends to spread the word.
Just have to be careful with some of the dogs there. I have seen some pretty [people] aggressive dogs there for adoption to the general public (and that's ALL breeds.)
Some *grumble* person turned in a completely vetted, neutered, and obedience-trained 10 mths old German Shepherd there last year. They said he was "too big," had "too much energy" and was "too much to handle." The one office person had him sitting up with her (and he would throw his paws on the counter to greet people). The person dumped him off, and then turned around and adopted two mastiff-mix puppies.
Keep in mind that Cobb County Animal Shelter is also a gassing shelter.
