She is probably a Beagle-mix. She can be rescued and adopted at Rockdale County Animal Care and Control Shelter at 1506 Rockbridge Road in Conyers.

This tiny little girl is only 8 weeks old and believed to be a Heeler-mix. Her temporary name is Bandit. She has an eye-catching merle coat and promises to love, honor and obey a new owner. She's had her first shots and been wormed and with a little love and good nutrition should weigh approximately 35 pounds as an adult.
