You didn’t know him. We barely did. But we will never forget him.
October was the beginning of what would become three solid months of good stuff – miracle adoptions, fantastic fosters and donations by the dozens! And, of course, we had to have a little Halloween fun …
Thank you to our Intown Healthy Hound and our local supporters for your outpouring of donations from the JRT Angel Tree this year.
September greeted us with the discovery that three of our rescues were heartworm positive and needed to be treated. This led to an online heartworm preventative awareness campaign and, of course, more fundraisers … We also said goodbye to one of our special boys whose mother made him a “lucky one” … and provided the soundtrack to a video of lots of other lucky dogs like him.
After running wild at fundraisers and other events over the spring and summer, we stuck close to home in August and did what we love to do best: Spend time with the dogs. It was cooler than usual for August in Atlanta … and we were thankful for that.
The volunteers had barely recovered from June’s fundraisers when July arrived and it was time to do it again with another Vol Day and fundraiser.
June saw us tackling one of our biggest challenges outside of rescue: Our first fundraiser! It was also like Christmas in June, thanks to the outpouring of love, support and donations.
After a crazy April, we were relieved to get a break from the chaos in May. We spent most of the month, vetting and caring for the big intake in April. That didn’t, of course, keep us from saying no to a special boy who needed us. Enter, Skip.
April was nothing short of mind-boggling for us. We were at capacity and already struggling with vet bills when six new desperate rescues arrived.
