I really like Geno, he is so cute and such a love bug. They had his age listed as 1 year but I think he was younger. When I was holding him he did not feel "filled out". I remember when Sophie Kate was about 11 months old she was the height she is now, but not filled out.

Kazzy, Atlanta Pet Rescues gets a lot of Yorkie (it seems) and other purebreds. I am not sure how they get all their dogs but I believe they pull a lot of them from the surrounding counties animal controls and some owner surrenders. I was told the four that came this week were from an owner who passed, she specifically made arrangements for APR to taker her dogs.

Atlanta has A LOT of Yorkies and Maltese.

Well Paris is a cutie pie. I can see why Geno was making his move!

Hoping they all get adopted soon. Glad that APR has them instead of the humane societies (don't know if they are kill shelters in that area). They are such cuties!!

Also you need to check out their new shelter plans, it is fabulous and so much bigger.

Geno and Conrad were adopted today, I fell in love with Geno he was a doll. Okay they all are dolls.

I'll have to do that soon! Lane (named Savannah then) was part of a large puppy mill bust in Alabama in December 2008, and APR was able to take in several of those dogs.

This is from Christmas 2010: Progression of Lane and her original "home" | Facebook

Conrad reminded me of a miniature Lane in his picture, but Paris would be perfect. She already has the perfect name if you watched Gilmore Girls since I already have a Rory and Lane.

OMG these pictures make me cry.

Lane is a beauty, she is blessed to have you.

Are those Puppy Mill picture the mill where she was? That just makes me sad to see those pictures (they expect them to drink that water).

My Vet was also telling me that APR took a bus load of Katrina dogs also, she helped Vet them before adoption.

I looked at a lot of rescues in the Atlanta area before I started volunteering at APR. This is a wonderful organization who's priority is the animals (dogs and cats). There are no ego's involved and they are truly thankful for everything they get (give). It makes me happy to go there and give my 2 hours a week.

Paris....I miss my Paris. I wish I was by Atlanta....

What a great looking bunch of dogs.............WOW! We rarely get a nice little dog in our shelters. They are mainly Pitbulls or pit mixes, or other large mixed breeds. That little Addie really got my attention!!! Glad I don't live down there.

gracielove · 04-08-2012, 03:38 PM

I would have loved to adopt a Yorkie. We also mostly have large dogs in our shelters. I looked and waited and searched around here for a small dog to adopt but it was not to be. Must be most of the little ones are down south.

Yes, those are actual pictures of the mill she was living in. I have to kind of separate it in my head, or I get even more sick thinking Lane was living there. I actually heard about the mill being shut down, and I really wanted to rescue one of those dogs. It all just fell into place that APR was able to take several of the dogs in, and we were living in Buckhead at the time.

This is a rescue, not a shelter as you would typically think of it. That being said, I have seen yorkies and other toy breeds in shelters all over the US. A lot of them are pulled by rescues, but many more don't make it out.

beachdog · 04-09-2012, 01:54 PM

Jacksonville doesn't get any Yorkies, just huge dogs. Small dogs get snatched up before I can even drive to the shelter.

BabyGirl Rosie · 04-12-2012, 01:57 PM

Awwww, Paris and Conrad got adopted today!
