Join us for our 3rd annual fundraiser for Chap’s Chow Rescue and Georgia Jack Russell Rescue, Adoption & Sanctuary this Saturday, June 13, in Decatur. It’s an event not to be missed! Food, drinks, live music, silent auction, raffles, wine wall and cool giveaways.
We were all a bit heartbroken for (big) little Chloe when she arrived at rescue last month. She had been through so much, having lost both the only family she knew since she was a baby after 12 years and her younger sister, who was adopted. She was very confused and understandably nervous about what was happening and what was going to happen next. Now, we know—she knows—she’ll never have to worry again.
What a fabulous JRT Fun Day we had at the ranch Saturday with the Dogwood Jack Russell Terrier Club. All of the dogs (including some of our current and former rescues) had a blast participating in the lure course, steeplechase and barn hunt activities. Thanks to everyone for making it such a fabulous time.
Happy Hump Day! It’s definitely one for us as we have an adoption to announce! Just three days after leaving the ranch, we have already received word from Sparky’s new family that he will not be coming back. Woohoo!
We have had so many amazing adoptions lately, we almost don’t know what to say or think anymore. That may be “business as usual” for most “big” rescues, but for us? It’s almost beyond comprehension. Facebook, the internet and social media as a whole has changed our entire game the past five years. We’ve gone from tiny to mighty, and our dogs—several of whom weren’t even “adoptable” (Rocket and Nick, just to name a couple) by standards—have found their perfect homes.
Want to escape to the Great Smoky Mountains for a couple of nights with your dog(s)? Even better, want to do it for the possible price of a $5 donation, which goes directly to the rescue? Well, here’s your opportunity! We are thrilled to announce the return of our annual cabin raffle. A couple of our amazing volunteers/supporters are once again donating a two-night stay at their luxury cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains.
What’s better than a positively gorgeous day in the ATL with former rescues and volunteers visiting, playing with the dogs and catching up on the wrap-around porch? Yep — a happy tail! And what a happy tail this one is! So many of our senior and sanctuary dogs have been adopted by so many amazing people lately! We are speechless. Brooklyn has now joined them.
Congrats, Team Russell, on taking third place the corn hole tournament! $1,000 for the rescue! It was some tough competition, but Brad and Wonder Donna pulled us through to the semifinals. Woohoo!
Are you up for a Challenge? On May 4, CrowdRise will kick off a special fundraising challenge for animal shelters/rescues and other groups focused on benefiting companion animals. They are giving away a $50k(!) grant for the team who raises the most during the challenge, which ends June 5. There are also offering incredibly generous grants for second-fifth places, as well as bonus challenges and prizes along the way that total over $25K. Holy vet-bills-paid, Batman!
Guess who finally found his forever/retirement home! Yes, after years of waiting, Hartley will spend his golden years with his new mom, Bonnie Brehm, and sister, Ginger, a former GA JRT rescue, in Ohio.
