Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Augusta, Georgia

🐾 Meet Crybaby: The Gentle, Big-Hearted Companion You've Been Waiting For! 🐾
Have you been looking for a loyal sidekick who quite literally tells you how much she loves you? Look no further than Crybaby! This gorgeous, sweet-natured girl is about 2 years old, weighs a solid and lovable 80 lbs (she's on the shorter, stockier side--more to hug!), and is officially looking for her forever home through Hands to Paws Rescue.

📖 Her Story
Crybaby was found roaming the streets a year ago. Though her finder took her in and loved her, he realized he can't give her the time and attention she truly deserves. Hands to Paws volunteers recently met this girl and confirmed what we already suspected: she is an absolute sweetheart. Loves to get belly rubs!

💖 Why We Love Her (And You Will Too!)
The Ultimate Shadow: Crybaby got her name because she loves her humans so much that she'll let out a little cry when separated. She just wants to be part of the action!

A Smart, Vocal Communicator: Crybaby is fully house-trained and will literally "talk" to you when she needs to go outside. She also already knows "sit" and "wait".

Perfect House Manners: She has shown zero destructive behavior inside the house or out in the yard.

Social Girl: She currently lives peacefully with two smaller dogs.

🏡 Crybaby's Perfect Home
A Fenced-In Yard: Crybaby absolutely loves the outdoors and needs a secure fence to play in before coming inside to lounge with you.

No Cats, Please! She has a natural urge to chase felines, so a cat-free home is best.

Older Kids: Because she is a stout 80 lbs, she might accidentally knock over toddlers, so a home with older children is preferred.

Patience with Leash Skills: She loves her daily walks and is doing great, though she still pulls just a little bit when excited.

Vetting: Crybaby is already spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and completely healthy!

Viewer Note: Crybaby currently spends her days in an outdoor kennel while her owner works and sleeps in a separate room at night. Because she thrives on human connection, she will likely bloom even more in a home where she can transition to being a full-time indoor family member!

📬 Ready to make this smart, sweet girl a part of your family?
If you're looking for a loyal companion who will always welcome you home with enthusiasm (and a little conversation), Crybaby is waiting for you.
