Rescues/Adopters Needed to Save Dogs in Waycross, Georgia

These dogs are in all need. The general rule is the shelter can keep adoptable animals a max of 30 days, as space allows. However, this shelter is completely overflowing and doing all they can to give the dogs time. Some of these are well past due though. Typically aggressive, sick (including heartworm-positive) and old are first to go. Rarely, there is a warning before a specific animal goes down because it's based on what animal control brings each day, so any dog "past due can" be gone at any time. Please share on Facebook, e-mail rescues, sponsor/donate (donations are tax deductible) to increase their chances of being saved. Anything you can do to help these babies is appreciated! Email rescueoke@middlemutts.org if you can help.

Annie is a beautifully unique Bulldog mix. She is approximately 2 years old and weighs 35 lbs. She came in as a stray through Animal Control, but doesn't look to have been stray very long. She had no collar or identification on her, so we have no indication that she was owned except for her sweet personality and love for people :) She seems to get along great with other dogs, but has not been tested with cats yet.
Rocky is a stunning Shepherd/Retriever mix. He is approximately 1.5 years old and weighs 36 lbs. He came in as a stray through Animal Control and is noticeably underweight :( We have no idea how long he has been a stray or if he was abandoned by his owner. He seems to love people and attention. He is a sweet boy that deserves a wonderful family to take him in. Heartworm negative.
Matt is a gorgeous Pit mix. He is approximately one and a half years old and weighs 37 lbs. He came in through Animal Control with Nate and is VERY protective over him. He is still a sweet boy and deserves a wonderful home.
Nate is a very handsome Pit mix. He is approximately 6 months old and weighs 24.6 lbs. He came in through Animal Control with Matt and they are very close. Matt is very protective over Nate, and they get along great together! Both are very sweet boys though and need a forever home to take car e of them.
Nigel is an incredibly sweet Bully mix. He is approximately 3 years old and weighs 52 lbs. He was found abandoned here at the shelter and we are treating a bullet wound he has on his neck. He did not act like it bothered him very badly, but it is already on it's way to healing up nicely :) He does not seem to get along well with dogs, but cats do not bother him.
Calloway is a handsome Beagle mix. He is approximately 2 years old and weighs 23 lbs. He was found alone, but apparently has been seen wandering around for weeks at a local medical facility where people were known to abuse him by throwing things and yelling at him. He is such a sweet boy, but it is obvious he is not as confident now as he once was.. He has a collar on as if someone owned him at one time, but no ID or microchip. We hope to bring him out of his shell and show him the kindness due to him that he probably has not seen in a while.
Freckles is an adorable Lab mix. He is approximately 6 months old and weighs 27.8 lbs. He came in with his friend, Fudge, as a stray through Animal Control. Freckles walks well on a leash and seems to get along with all other dogs and loves to give kisses to anybody that comes by him! He is a sweet boy that deserves a wonderful forever home.
Fudge is an adorable Lab/Bully mix. She came in with her friend, Freckles, as a stray through Animal Control. She is a very sweet, curious girl that will make a wonderful companion.

Helen is a beautiful Lab/Bully mix. She is almost a year old and weighs 28 lbs. Animal Control responded to a call about a stray and brought her in, but we have several reasons to believe the one who made the call was actually the owner who just did not want her anymore :( She has such a wonderful personality that we could never understand why she was given up like that. She gets along with other dogs (and even cats!) and adores human companionship. Heartworm negative. Sponsor See video
Tammy is a beautiful Lab mix. She is approximately 9 months old and weighs 29.2 lbs. She was picked up from a local business because she stayed around and wouldn't leave.

Out of all of the people that passed her by, none took a chance on loving her. We know she is full of energy and love and just needs a forever home to take her in and show her that her kisses are appreciated! She gets along great with cats and dogs :) Heartworm negative.
