Whew! What a busy week (month!) it’s been at rescue lately. So many dogs coming in and, fortunately, going out to forever homes. New Arrivals We took in seven(!) dogs within a matter of days, mostly due to sponsors, fosters and volunteers working together to pull shelter dogs. It was a little overwhelming at first, […]
Our sanctuary realizes and respects the wisdom and beauty of all seniors, not just our four-legged babies but our two-legged friends and family as well. It is a sad reality that senior dogs can be difficult to adopt out. Even though Jacks typically live 14-16 years (and some many more), most adoptive parents are looking […]
We will be at Builders Floor Covering in Buford tomorrow for a very special event. We will have several dogs with us for you to meet, greet and possibly take home. There will be games for the whole family as well. Come join us between 10 and 4. See you there!
Thank you to everyone for coming out yesterday to the grand opening of Furever Fit in Johns Creek. We had a great time meeting everyone and hanging out at this wonderful new store.

Something magical is in the air. It must be. We have had more positive stories in the past few weeks than we have had in years! It began with Peyton in May, followed by Mars in late June and continues this week with two more forever-home announcements. This may be small bones for some rescues […]
He spent five years patiently waiting in his kennel for the family he knew would someday come. When they did, we discovered he had a cancerous lump. But all that is behind Peyton now. He’s found paradise. He has healed from his surgery and settled into his wonderful home with the Childress family. They sent […]
Fancy has had a whirlwind two months. The Rescue A photo of her sad, sweet face graced our Save a Jack wall in early May. She was an owner surrender, and there was something about her eyes that haunted us. After 6-7 years with her family, she had been abandoned and was scheduled to be […]
“I couldn’t ‘do’ rescue. I would get too attached.” We can’t tell you how many times we, as volunteers, have heard people say that. It’s discouraging, in a way, as those people would probably make the best volunteers because they have such an innate capacity to love and nurture. Alas, it is often easier just […]
