Shelter Success Training Program
PAWS Atlanta's Shelter Success Training Program, led by our trainer MarLee Thompson CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, SDC, strives to teach our long-term dogs new skills, improve their behaviors, and increase their visibility to potential adopters. Take a look below at the training plans, personalities, and progress of the dogs currently in the Shelter Success Training Program.
All of these dogs are currently adoptable, so fill out an application if you'd like to meet them! Can't adopt? You can also foster these dogs through our Unicorn Foster Program!
Big Boy
Big Boy's ideal home would involve plenty of treats and gentle snuggles. He would do best as an only child, without any other pets or kids.
Big Sky
Big Sky's ideal home would have a yard for running and play. He does well with other dogs who match his energetic play style but would be overwhelming for cats or young children.
Charlotte
Charlotte's ideal home would involve plenty of walks and outdoor time. She would like to be any only pet in a child-free home.
Chobi
Chobi would like a home where he can continue his training and learning new tricks. He would like lots of outside time, potentially with another dog companion. He would do best in an adult only home without any cats.
Flip Flop
Flip Flop's ideal home would have plenty of routine and structure. He would enjoy an active home with lots of walking and/or jogging. He'd like to be an only pet in an adult only home.
Ma'am
Ma'am would like to be a single pet in a home without kids. She needs someone who is willing to give her continued, consistent training with lots of praise and encouragement.
Mr. Bean
Mr. Bean easily learns new skills, especially when food rewards are involved, so he would love a where he can continue his training (with treats!). He's open to living with other dogs but would like to be in an adult only home.

Piggy is very smart and would like a home with plenty of enrichment, whether that's learning new skills or going on an adventure. She would like to be a single pet in an adult only home.
