About Artemis

Meet Artemis, or Artie for short! A small dog with a big personality, Artie was rescued from the Cobb County shelter and has been thriving since joining our Best Chance Program. He’s clever and quick to learn, making strides in his training while living with other dogs and attending day camps with Mirror Image K9. Artie can be affectionate but prefers it on his own terms. He’s generally good with people and gets along with cats, but he would do best in an adult-only home due to his bite history. Understanding his body language and respecting his space are essential for a successful relationship with him. His adoption comes with a training package funded by the Ozzie Albies Foundation, which includes sessions with trainers to aid in his ongoing progress. We're looking for adopters ready to commit to training and consistent practice at home. If you’re excited to partner with this smart, funny little guy, we’d love for you to meet Artie. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
