Hemingway

Hemingway is a striking 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix with a one-of-a-kind personality. He was transferred to the Atlanta Humane Society from an overcrowded local shelter where he’d become very sick. After weeks of care, he finally recovered, and his adorable personality started to blossom.

His fur is as soft as a rabbit’s, and his whole body wiggles when he gets excited. While not much is known about his history before arriving at AHS, Hemingway aces the “sit” and “lay down” commands, so he may have lived in a home before.

He appears to be almost completely housebroken and has excellent leash manners. Hemingway loves treats but always takes them gently, and he has gotten along well with other dogs he has met during his time at AHS. If you have a dog in your home, it’s best to plan a meet and greet to ensure that everyone gets along.

Hemingway is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and ready to meet you at the Atlanta Humane Society’s Howell Mill location, 981 Howell Mill Road NW in Atlanta. For more information about Hemingway, email adoptions@atlantahumane.org or visit atlantahumane.org/dogs.

Sparkle

Meet Sparkle! This 1.5-year-old black and white beauty is happily living in a loving Atlanta Humane Society foster home, but she’s hoping to have her very own family soon.

She gets along great with other cats and would probably enjoy having another feline companion in her future home, but she doesn’t have any experience living with dogs. If you have a canine in your home, an Atlanta Humane Society Adoption Counselor can counsel you on introducing Sparkle slowly so everyone has the best chance of living harmoniously.

Sparkle is a bit shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she’ll follow you around, and she always enjoys playing with her feather toy. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and ready for adoption. To set up a meet and greet with Sparkle, email the AHS Foster Manager at kteasley@atlantahumane.org or learn more at atlantahumane.org/cats.
