What a great way to start the day! Former GA JRT rescues Maxie, Cooper, Oscar and Kennedy headed to a local Atlanta middle school today with their adopted moms to spend some time with some wonderful students. The students are part of the Pet Rescue Club, which meets every week to find ways to get involved with rescue work in the community.
It’s long overdue, but it’s finally here — our new online fundraiser called “Our Hearts Are In It.” Today is Valentine’s Day, and February is Heart Month, so it seemed only applicable to call it that. But what’s more applicable? All proceeds from this auction will go to help cover the costs of our many dogs currently receiving heartworm treatments.
It is with much heartbreak that we announce we lost our long-time sanctuary sweetheart, Slick, to cancer yesterday. Although some may feel sad that he “never found a home,” he actually did. It was with us.
Happy Saturday, ev’rybody! Hot on the heels of John John’s happy tail, we have another one to share. Pepper has gone home! We knew it wouldn’t take long for this precious, sweet and loving little girl to find a home. We were actually surprised it took five months, but she’s found her new family and they are wonderful.
Katie arrived at rescue in spring of 2011, looking as cute as can be. She was petite ’n sweet and was adopted within no time. She was gone for several months, but, unfortunately, things did not work out with the children in the home, so she was returned. She was starting to develop some serious skin allergies and other health issues, so we kept her to heal her up.
Former GA JRT rescue, Ricky (that’s him passed out on the right), and his friend, Isis Maria, recently indulged in an all-night board game marathon. Things got a little carried away … and they took selfies. But now they’re using that selfie to promote their favorite rescue in hopes of bringing home a $2,000 grant for vet bills.
Are you ready for a bright spot to end your wind up another manic Monday? It’s been too long since we’ve been able to announce and adoption … and this is a fabulous one — John John has found his forever home!
