After a turbulent January, we welcomed a rather quiet February … quiet for rescue, that is. Momma Donna’s Birthday Donna Durham, our co-founder and owner, celebrated her birthday on Feb. 20 with an outpouring of birthday wishes from friends, family and supporters. She responded with happy tears the next day. If it wasn’t for her […]
How about this duo of adorableness? We would call them double trouble, but they are just too sweet! Gracie and Katie have made it through some tough times together the past few months. They lost both of their people parents in a matter of months. The family could not keep them, and our rescue was […]
Make plans to drop by our booth this weekend at the Home for the Holidays Super Pet Adoption. Sponsored by Atlanta Animals Alive, this big event will be held at North Atlanta Trade Center from 10am-6pm Saturday. We will be selling grab bags and merchandise to benefit the dogs. Best of all, we will have some […]
We first saw Susie and her six puppies on the rescue boards. They were in a high-kill shelter and scheduled to be put down. We couldn’t fathom the reality, but were out of room at the time and there was no way we could handle raising puppies. One our volunteers/fosters, Terri, took the whole group […]
Flashpoint Fire We won’t lie: The year started off on an incredibly heartbreaking note. Flashpoint Kennels in Rome burned to the ground on Jan. 3. More than 30 dogs (mostly Chihuahuas and Boston Terriers) died in the fire, but 23 Jack Russell Terriers survived. The news broadcasted it for several days. Words were spoken, people […]
[nggallery id=150] Little Miss Maggie Mae arrived at our rescue in July 2012. A big ole powder puff, she was happy and sprite and ready for a second chance in life. She came from the shelter as a surrender, and we didn’t have much of a back story on her. It was, however, obvious she […]
UPDATE: Please note, the Beer Night originally scheduled for Thursday has been postponed. In light of the theft of $30,000 in food from Intown Healthy Hound’s warehouse, they are very much in need of a benefit of their own right now. As such, one has been scheduled for this Thursday night at the following: Hodge […]
The new year is almost here and some of you have mentioned you would like to help the dogs and asked us what they need. We are a 501(3)c nonprofit and that means your donations are tax-deductible. We put little Eli to work (hey, he needs a job besides just being an adorable rock star) […]
You did one of the noblest things in the world: You opened up your home and took in one of our rescues in 2012. Now, we want to know how you (and they) are doing. Every year at the end of December, we do a year-end roundup of things at the rescue on the Dog […]
Our poor little Hartley – trouble just seems to find and follow him, despite his wonderful disposition, huge heart, gratitude and love for humans and animals. He was neglected his entire life and inevitably ended up in a kill-shelter in August. Several wonderful people stepped up to raise the funds to sponsor and vet him […]
