Adopt a Black Mouth Cur in Georgia

Black Mouth Curs are versatile, loyal, and athletic Southern working dogs — the breed of Old Yeller. They appear regularly in rural Southern shelters. A rescued Black Mouth Cur is a hardy, devoted family companion that thrives on activity.

Georgia has one of the highest rescue dog populations in the country, particularly in rural areas outside Atlanta, Savannah, and Macon. Many Atlanta-based rescues partner with rural shelters to transport dogs to higher-demand regions. A rescued Georgia dog often comes from a high-need rural shelter.
