Rocky Gets a Day Away
Rocky enjoyed a “Day Away” today with his staff pick, Kim. This boy has been with us for way, way too long and we never understand why. He’s so amazing, sweet and smart.

J.R. Goes Home
J.R. arrived from Alabama back in April after two out-of-state rescues helped to network and transport him to Atlanta. He had been hit by a car, and his knees and hips were a bit out of whack. It looked like surgery was inevitable, but he had already started to heal and doc felt that he was going to heal just fine with medications and 10 weeks of rest.
Summer Vol Day Splash
We came, we saw, we sweated, but … we got stuff done. Everyone was ready to get down ’n dirty and do what needed to be done for the dogs today at Summer Vol Day on Saturday.
A Tribute to Jackie
It was with very heavy hearts that we said goodbye to one of our long-time sanctuary sweethearts this morning. Not a lot of people “knew” Jackie—even the volunteers who come to rescue every week—because she was an indoor dog … and that’s what made her so special. Over the last four years, she had become one of our own.
Decker Goes Home
Happy Sunday! We thought we’d start you out on a happy note and let you know that another one of our rescues has found his fabulous forever home.
Buster Goes Home
It’s been five months since our beautiful vol Pat saved Buster after being hit by a car in a busy intersection. It took that long to heal from his wounds and we wondered if this little Chi/Terrier boy would ever find his forever home because of his disability. But, on Thursday, the pin was removed from his leg … and he is Florida bound with his new and amazing mom, Mindy Underberger.
Maggie Goes Home
Our sweet girl Maggie has finally found her forever home! Mom Hilary and her husband grew up with dogs, but wanted to wait until their sons were older to bring a dog into their home. So when Hilary came to Whole Foods nearly two weeks ago, she fell in love with Maggie right when she saw her! She didn’t have her sons or husband with her, but she had a great feeling that Maggie would be a perfect addition to their family. And she was right! A few days after the Whole Foods event, Hilary’s sons and husband came out to the rescue with her to spend some time with Maggie and the rest is history.
Sweet Dreams are Made of This
We just wanted to give a very special shout out to Sweet Cream Co. of Columbia, South Carolina. They recently surprised us with an amazing donation check of $315 for the sales of their doggie pops in March and April.
Foster to Adopt? Our fave opp!
Our little lamb Barkley has moved from his medical foster home to his new (possibly permanent) foster home. Yay! For those wondering if fostering before adoption is a possibility, absolutely! We actually prefer this route to adoption. It’s a great experience for the dogs and the adopters all around.
Another Fabulous Fundraiser!
Last night was our 3rd Annual Paw Over Some Jack and Chow Down fundraiser, our “big” fundraiser with Chap’s Chow Rescue at Plants Creative Landscapes’ warehouse in Decatur. Thank you to everyone who came out (despite the heat) to support the rescues. Everyone was having such a great time, we even went beyond our usual 9 o’clock cutoff time. Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers and, of course, attendees for making this another great year that went to the dogs … literally!
